About the company

SevenRooms is a hospitality technology platform that powers restaurant operations and marketing, and was recently acquired by DoorDash! The SevenRooms product enables operators to automatically drive revenue & profitability by leveraging data to build direct relationships, deliver exceptional experiences, and increase repeat business. The SevenRooms “In-Store” Technology organization at DoorDash is committed to building products that help restaurants create magical experiences every day. We are a small, but rapidly growing team of 70+ engineers, scientists and builders who are on a mission to fundamentally transform the hospitality industry. Our tech stack includes Python, Typescript, ReactJS, Redux, Django, App Engine, Cloud Firestore, Memcache, Cloud Tasks, Firebase, BigQuery, Elasticsearch, and more., The Covey tool has been reviewed by an independent auditor. Results of the audit may be viewed here: Covey, In 2011, Joel Montaniel, Allison Page, and Kinesh Patel founded SevenRooms after noticing that hospitality operators were missing a critical ingredient in the systems they were using to run their business: guest data. What began as a mission to help restaurants better understand and serve their guests evolved into a powerful platform used by merchants around the world.

With best-in-class tools for marketing, operations, and guest experience - all deeply integrated with its industry-leading CRM - SevenRooms empowers operators to drive revenue, streamline operations, and deliver experiences that keep guests coming back.

In 2025, DoorDash acquired SevenRooms to strengthen its in-store strategy and expand its merchant-first offerings. The combination brings together DoorDash’s scale, reach, and digital innovation with SevenRooms’ in-store capabilities to support hospitality businesses across every channel - from discovery and delivery to on-premise dining.

As DoorDash builds out its in-store capabilities, SevenRooms plays a central role in enabling merchants to grow their businesses and connect more meaningfully with guests, whether they’re ordering online or dining in. This move reflects DoorDash’s broader commitment to empowering local businesses, fostering stronger connections between consumers and the places they love, and building technology that meets merchants - and their customers - wherever they are.
