Doordash buys SevenRooms for a cool billion, but their profits are kinda 'meh.' Looks like Milhouse could've done better.

Ay Caramba! A Billion Dollar Deal?

Alright dudes! Bart Simpson here bringing you the real news not that boring stuff Principal Skinner tries to feed ya. So Doordash those guys who bring you pizza when you're too lazy to walk to Luigi's just coughed up $1.2 BILLION for some fancy app called SevenRooms. Apparently it's like the VIP room for restaurant bookings. I bet even Nelson Muntz would think that's a lot of dough!

D'oh! Profits Take a Dive

But here's the kicker! While they're throwing money around like Mr. Burns at a nuclear safety convention their profits actually went down. They were expecting to make more moolah but it seems like even delivering Krusty Burgers at lightning speed couldn't save them. Maybe they should hire me as their consultant I know a thing or two about making money...or at least getting out of detention.

Don't Have a Cow Man: Deliveroo to the Rescue?

Hold on to your hats! Doordash also wants to gobble up this British company named Deliveroo for a whopping 3.9 BILLION. That’s a lot of fish and chips! They're saying it'll help them grow and make more money. Maybe it will maybe it won't. All I know is if I were Milhouse I'd be investing in Doordash now before it's too late.

Eat My Shorts: Orders Up!

Okay here's some good news for Doordash. People are still ordering like crazy. They did 732 million orders! That's a lot of tacos and Squishees! But even that wasn't enough. Some nerds called analysts expected them to sell even MORE. Can’t win ‘em all eh?

I Didn't Do It! Blame the Geopolitics

They're blaming "geopolitical and currency risks" for potential problems. Sounds like something Lisa would drone on about. All I know is if someone messes with my ability to order a Buzz Cola at 3 AM there's gonna be trouble!

Cowabunga Dude! The Future is...Food?

So what's the takeaway? Doordash is spending big bucks hoping to become the king of the food delivery world. Will it work? Who knows! But one thing's for sure: as long as there's a TV to watch and a couch to sit on I'll be ordering pizza from my phone. Eat my shorts world! Bart Simpson out!
