Doordash: Food Handling and Safety Training

The shift by consumers from dining-out to home delivery services is primarily attributed to technological development. Current marketplace trends indicate a fast shift to online food delivery services that Doordash Company must adopt. However, the substantial increase in online food buyers presents various challenges. Firstly, the need by organizations to adhere to food quality standards and meet customer expectations are challenges because of the ever-changing marketplace demands. The need to deliver food from restaurants to customers' homes while maintaining the utmost quality has become highly challenging for emerging and stable firms. Secondly, organizations' improper food handling and logistics dilemmas present challenges due to ineffective staff training and inadequate experience. Lastly, the food and food delivery business requires that the involved personnel, right from the management, production, and distribution, is well-versed with food and market dynamics (Lin, Peng, & Wang et al., n.d.).

Environmental challenges deter various food delivery services and effective training, thus hindering firms from acquiring substantive customer numbers. Firstly, the market is characterized by frequently shifting product prices and unstable market prices. These challenges result from a wide variety of choices for customers and the volatility of food products. Secondly, threats from established players continue to "exert competition," challenging small and emerging firms (Lin et al., n.d., p. 12). Established food delivery companies popular among the public take up a substantive market share, thus leaving little opportunity for others to compete. The ever-evolving market bases and future opportunities have indicated that food delivery businesses and startups continuously enter the market with high thrusts and push, thus ensuring that operations are highly competitive and challenging for all players.

Logistics is both an organizational and environmental dilemma that faces established and emerging businesses (Lin et al., n.d.). Uncertainties consistently hit businesses on whether to restrict the delivery radius within a specific area or serve a wider geographical area, stem down orders from particular areas, change organizational structures, or allocate the right resources, among other elements. There is a need to keep all these aspects and parameters in place to tackle the challenge.
