CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nomme food delivery service network has joined with DoorDash, one of the largest US-based restaurant delivery platforms. DoorDash is one of the fastest growing food ordering platforms in the U.S., and recently raised $535 Million in a Series D round. DoorDash currently operates across the majority of Canada's major cities and has plans to expand further this year.

“What makes Nomme unique is their focus on being local, and their customer driven company mandate,” said Graeme Hartlen, DoorDash Regional General Manager of Canada. “We are excited for them to join with us to offer our users an expanded selection of local restaurants to choose from.” 

Nomme launched in 2016 from a desire by its founders to expand their culinary horizons, as they are passionate foodies who were constantly on the hunt for the newest and most delicious experiences. The company has grown significantly in the past few years and currently services Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta, as well as Richmond in British Columbia.

What does this mean for Nomme’s users and restaurant partners?  Starting in mid-August, Nomme will redirect users to DoorDash to begin taking advantage of the new partnership, which will result in:

  • Expanded customer service capabilities
  • Access to alternative forms of accepting orders, including cell phone, computer, fax or tablet
  • Increased marketing opportunities
  • Increased options for users to order from

“DoorDash has a great reputation for being ‘Merchant First’, and that’s an important distinction for us as we want our restaurant partners to experience the same level of tech support and customer service that they have become accustomed to,” said Alec Wang, Founder and CEO of Nomme. “DoorDash’s expertise and success will ensure that they continue to succeed.”

Moving forward, the founding team of Nomme will be focusing their efforts on expanding ClickDishes, the first social ordering app in the food mobile ordering space.
