BOSTON, May 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' Donuts, recognized for keeping America running by serving its entire menu all day long, is expanding its Dunkin' Delivery service test to Boston. Dunkin' Donuts has collaborated with two on-demand delivery services, DoorDash and Favor, making it even easier and more convenient for people to run on Dunkin' from morning to night.

Boston-area residents can select DoorDash or Favor to order their favorite Dunkin' Donuts products with the click of a button, without leaving home or work. For guests who select DoorDash, delivery is available from 8 a.m. – 10 p.m. Dunkin' Delivery through Favor will be available from 8 a.m. – 12 a.m. and will keep people running Thursday- Saturday with delivery until 2 a.m. People can select and purchase a variety of Dunkin' Donuts menu items for themselves or for a group, including a Box O' Joe® or just one cup of coffee, a dozen donuts, sandwiches and more, and have the products delivered in less than forty-five minutes. Dunkin' Delivery is also available through DoorDash in Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Atlanta. Favor provides another Dunkin' Delivery option in Boston so guests are able to select their preferred delivery service.

DoorDash is a Silicon Valley-based technology company, whose innovative products and data-powered logistics software makes on-demand deliveries, faster, more efficient and more affordable. As one of the fastest growing delivery businesses in the US, the three-year old company has already completed millions of deliveries and has raised more than $180 million to take door-to-door restaurant delivery nationally. Today DoorDash offers delivery in 24 major metropolitan markets in more than 250 cities across the US and Canada.

Favor is the Austin-based, on-demand mobile delivery app – known for its 5 star rated customer service and 35 average minute delivery time – connecting customers to their very own personal delivery assistants, called "Runners". The service has been recognized for their people-centric approach in the delivery space, with minimum pay guarantees for their Runners and thoughtful approach to the local ecosystem in each market before expansion. Favor is currently available in 23 cities across the US and Canada.

According to Sherrill Kaplan, Vice President of Digital Marketing and Innovation for Dunkin' Donuts, "Boston is our hometown and we have some of the most loyal guests here, so we're very excited to make Dunkin' Delivery available through DoorDash and Favor to keep people running on our wide array of food and beverage options in a convenient and easy way. The ability to have Dunkin' items delivered directly to you is something that our guests have been requesting for some time and we will continue to evaluate a possible national rollout in the future."

"From breakfast to late night snacks, and everything in between, families across the country know that DoorDash is the best way to get food delivered directly to your door." said Tony Xu, CEO of DoorDash. "After offering Dunkin' Donuts delivery in five cities across the US for the past few months, we're proud to be brining Dunkin' on-demand in their hometown of Boston."

"Our test with Dunkin' Donuts is an important step in our mission to make it possible for people to get anything in their city delivered directly to them," said Jag Bath, CEO and President of Favor.
