Overview

• DoorDash filed a motion on April 25 to dismiss Uber's February antitrust lawsuit, calling it a 'cynical and calculated scare tactic.'
• Uber alleges DoorDash coerces restaurants into near-exclusive agreements for its white-label delivery services by threatening penalties or app demotions.
• DoorDash argues Uber's legal claims are baseless and rely on a state law typically applied to employee non-compete disputes, not antitrust issues.
• The U.S. food delivery market is highly concentrated, with DoorDash holding over 60% market share and Uber Eats at approximately 26%.
• A hearing on DoorDash's dismissal motion is scheduled for July 11 in California Superior Court, where the judge will decide if Uber's claims can proceed.
