TORONTO — DoorDash Canada has launched its new Made by Women platform dedicated to championing women chefs and restaurateurs.

The Made by Women program will offer access to marketing, educational and financial resources women-owned restaurants need to succeed, grow and make an impact. To kick off the program, DoorDash has partnered with Monday Girl, which will provide 15, $10,000 grants to Canadian women-owned restaurants.

Both new and existing DoorDash partners are invited to apply from Mar. 8 to Apr. 15, 2024. Only 17 per cent of Canadian small and medium-sized restaurants are female-owned, so DoorDash and Monday Girl are committed to cultivating an environment where these businesses can flourish.

“As a female leader, I’m proud of the ongoing commitment at DoorDash to amplifying female voices and providing funding for women-owned businesses,” says Shilpa Arora, general manager of DoorDash Canada. “This program aims to empower women across Canada and make a tangible impact and empower local economies. With DoorDash’s dedication to supporting female entrepreneurs and leaders, we aim to create lasting change and opportunities for women in the restaurant industry.” 

“Monday Girl is so proud to be a part of the Made by Women Grants initiative with DoorDash,” says Rachel Wong, co-founder of Monday Girl. “As a female-founded business, we’re driven to empower female entrepreneurs to achieve success. We’re so excited to be able to provide the resources to help promote successful businesses for women-owned restaurants in Canada. As Toronto natives, this partnership with DoorDash Canada is very near and dear to our hearts.”

“[The] launch of Made by Women is incredibly rewarding. It’s been inspiring to see this initiative come to life and connect with merchants, knowing the impact it will have on their businesses and communities,” says Martine English, senior merchant brand manager of DoorDash Canada. “At DoorDash Canada, we’re proud to be a force for good and champion women chefs and restaurateurs, empowering them to make a lasting difference in the industry.”
