SAN FRANCISCO: On a recent afternoon in San Francisco, a DoorDash driver was circling the neighbourhood – first in his car, then on foot – trying to find the restaurant where he needed to pick up two orders. Finally, he Googled the location and realised DoorDash’s app sent him to the wrong address.

It’s an error he vowed to fix, and he probably will. Because that worker is Andy Fang, DoorDash’s chief technology officer and one of the company’s three co-founders.
