DoorDash (NASDAQ: DASH), one of the world’s most recognized local commerce platforms, has announced a major new partnership with Waffle House, the legendary 24/7 restaurant chain beloved across the United States. Beginning this month, Waffle House fans will be able to order their favorite menu items for delivery all night long — from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. — with DoorDash Drive on-Demand powering the service behind the scenes.
This initiative is launching at a particularly meaningful time for Waffle House. The chain, founded in 1955, is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, coinciding with National Waffle Week. Known for its round-the-clock operations, classic American comfort food, and friendly service, Waffle House has become more than just a restaurant — it’s a cultural institution. Now, through its collaboration with DoorDash, the brand is taking its legendary hospitality beyond restaurant walls and directly into customers’ homes.
Waffle House at Your House: Expanding Access to Comfort Food
The rollout of late-night delivery means customers can now indulge in the same meals they would enjoy inside a Waffle House dining room — whether it’s a golden-brown waffle hot off the griddle, crispy hashbrowns cooked just the way they like them (“scattered, smothered & covered”), or the classic All-Star Special breakfast plate. The initiative allows Waffle House enthusiasts to bring that familiar experience to their doorstep during hours when delivery from many other restaurants is unavailable.
Customers can place orders directly through the dedicated Waffle House digital platforms — order.wafflehouse.com and the official Waffle House Ordering app. On the back end, DoorDash Drive on-Demand ensures reliable logistics, timely delivery, and seamless integration, making the process efficient for both customers and restaurants.
In addition to Waffle House’s own ordering channels, a growing number of participating restaurants will also be available for direct delivery through the DoorDash app, providing another convenient option for customers seeking flexibility. Select locations in key markets — including Atlanta, Charleston, Cincinnati, Columbus, Nashville, and New Orleans — are already live with 24/7 delivery availability. More locations are expected to join as the partnership scales nationwide.
Extending Waffle House Hospitality Beyond the Restaurant
“At Waffle House, we’ve built our brand on consistency, hospitality, and being there for our customers, day or night,” said Patrick Marshburn, Executive Vice President of Waffle House. “Partnering with DoorDash allows us to extend that same dependable experience beyond our restaurant walls, making it easier than ever for guests to enjoy the Waffle House comfort they love, from the comfort of their home.”
This move is more than just an operational update — it represents an expansion of Waffle House’s digital capabilities. As consumer habits evolve and late-night delivery demand grows, this partnership helps ensure that Waffle House remains accessible and relevant while retaining the values that built its reputation: quality food, quick service, and genuine hospitality.
DoorDash Brings Scale, Speed, and Technology
For DoorDash, the partnership highlights its strength as a platform that enables restaurants of all sizes to connect with customers more effectively. Shanna Prevé, Vice President of Enterprise Sales & Business Development at DoorDash, emphasized the cultural significance of this rollout:
“Waffle House is a cultural icon, and we’re thrilled to help make it more accessible to customers at all locations across the country. This partnership is about combining what both brands do best — Waffle House’s beloved food and hospitality, and DoorDash’s ability to meet customer needs with speed, reliability, and scale.”
By leveraging DoorDash’s established logistics infrastructure, Waffle House can provide late-night delivery without having to build or manage its own in-house system. DoorDash’s technology, driver network, and operational expertise enable Waffle House to expand its reach quickly, efficiently, and sustainably.
Special Offer to Celebrate the Launch
To celebrate this milestone, Waffle House and DoorDash are offering customers a $0 Delivery Fee promotion available exclusively through wafflehouse.com and the Waffle House Ordering app. The offer runs from September 8 to September 14, 2025, allowing customers across eligible markets to experience the convenience of delivery at no extra charge.
The promotion is subject to specific terms and conditions: orders must fall within the delivery range of participating Waffle House locations, carry a subtotal greater than $0.00 but less than $150.00, and be placed via official Waffle House digital channels. Taxes, fees, and gratuity still apply, and customers must create or log into a valid Waffle House account to redeem the offer.
