DoorDash is extending its pause on deliveries in New York City as the Northeast digs out from a major snowstorm.
The delivery service is keeping its operational pause until at least 2 pm ET on Monday, a company spokesperson told Business Insider. DoorDash previously said the pause would last until noon.
As of Monday morning, New York City had received 15 inches of snow after a blizzard hit the region late Sunday and early Monday. The storm also snarled flights and cut off power to thousands.
DoorDash's pause in New York began at 8:30 pm ET on Sunday, just before Mayor Zohran Mamdani instituted a travel ban in the city. At the time, the company activated its "Severe Weather Protocol," it said.
"We're suspending operations early to keep Dashers safe and off the streets before the travel ban takes effect," DoorDash spokesperson Julian Crowley said. "We're closely monitoring conditions and will resume as soon as it's safe to do so."
Grubhub also paused operations late Sunday. On Monday, a company spokesperson said just before noon that the delivery service is "currently operating in NYC after pausing overnight to keep couriers safe."
