Grocerant Guru® Insight: What Seniors and College Students Have in Common Using DoorDash

According to Steven Johnson, the Grocerant Guru®, two very different generations—seniors and college students—share unexpected common ground when it comes to using DoorDash:

“They both value independence, convenience, and frictionless food experiences,” says Johnson.

·       Seniors, often less mobile or looking for simplicity, use DoorDash to stay autonomous. They can access meals from familiar restaurants or groceries without leaving home, helping them maintain dignity and routine.

·       College students, on the other hand, crave speed, flexibility, and budget-friendly options. DoorDash gives them variety, midnight snacks, and group order convenience—often supported by DashPass or student promos.

For both demographics, DoorDash is more than a delivery app—it’s a tool for lifestyle empowerment, bringing food to where they are, when they need it, how they like it.

 

The Bottom Line

DoorDash is winning dinner not just by being fast—but by being smart. Through a growing network of partnerships, workplace solutions, and generationally relevant features, it's not just delivering food—it’s delivering freedom.
