REGISTER NOW. DoorDash on Monday added new AI-powered tools that let merchants speed up onboarding, edit photos to make dishes look better, and create websites based on their app listings. The onboarding tool works similarly to the one Amazon launched in 2024. Merchants can point the tool to their website, from which it will automatically fetch information such as photos, store hours, and menu items to create a listing on the app. Merchants can review and edit all of this information before publishing the listing. DoorDash has also revamped its video library. The library now lets merchants tag dishes in videos so that customers can order those items directly. The library also shows stats such as total views, video-driven sales, and new customer sales. Restaurants are getting a few photo-editing tools, too: AI Retouch can replace backgrounds, sharpen images, and optimize lighting without changing the dish; and AI Replate manipulates pictures of dishes so they look like they’re plated professiona
