The company was founded under the mission of providing the industry's fastest delivery.[6] Entrepreneur Magazine wrote it has "largely achieved that goal", citing technology, speed-based incentive systems, and diversified delivery methods. The same magazine named it as one of the Best Entrepreneurial Companies in 2015 in its augural Entrepreneur 360 list.[7]
In 2013, DASHED rolled out a fleet of electric Smart cars for its delivery drivers.[8] According to the Boston Globe, as of November, DASHED has a total of 12 company SmartCars, which are available for rent to an approved pool of drivers for $15 per 8-hour shift.[8] The microcar rental fleet was only available in Boston.

The company partners exclusively with Foodler for online ordering.[9] It expanded to Baltimore in April 2013, adding 50 restaurants that don’t have their own delivery staff, including P.F. Chang's. Restaurants pay DASHED a 30 percent commission to make their deliveries.[8] Dashed was acquired by Grubhub in August 2017.[10][11]
Locations & Services
Operating in nine cities, DASHED used a mix of bikes, scooters and automobiles to deliver food from 9:30 a.m. to 12:45 a.m. seven days a week.[3] About 25% of their orders are delivered by bike & scooter.[12] According to BostInno, DASHED brought its participating restaurants an average of $2,000 in new delivery sales per week, and some restaurants have dropped their own delivery service to hire DASHED.[3] The company introduced a 45-minute Christmas tree delivery service in Boston, which included trees, tree stands, garland, wreaths, and poinsettias.[3][13] The program was popular with corporate clients, with daily deliveries to the Prudential Center.[3]
