DoorDash is the largest food delivery platform in the United States by market share, and California is its home state. That combination means DoorDash faces a high volume of litigation in California courts — PAGA wage and hour class actions, delivery accident personal injury claims, CCPA privacy enforcement actions, and AB5 contractor classification disputes. The California Attorney General reached a \$375,000 settlement with DoorDash in 2024 over CCPA violations, putting the company’s data practices in the public record. If you need to serve DoorDash, the registered agent is in Sacramento and the entity structure is relatively clean.
The Correct Legal Entity
The correct entity name is DoorDash, Inc. DoorDash, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California. It went public in December 2020 and operates the DoorDash and Caviar food delivery platforms in the United States.
For most California litigation — personal injury from delivery accidents, PAGA actions, consumer fraud, and privacy claims — DoorDash, Inc. is the correct defendant. DoorDash does not operate through a network of California-specific subsidiaries in the way Uber does, which simplifies entity identification.
If your case involves the Caviar platform specifically (DoorDash acquired Caviar from Square in 2019), verify whether Caviar operates under a separate entity registration or has been fully merged under DoorDash, Inc. for the relevant time period.

Where to Serve
Registered agent: CSC Lawyers Incorporating Service
Address: 2710 Gateway Oaks Dr, Suite 150N, Sacramento, CA 95833
CSC is the registered agent for DoorDash, Inc. in California. Their Sacramento office is in the South Natomas corridor. Surface parking is available, the suite is on the ground floor, and there is no building security checkpoint — making this one of the more straightforward service locations in the Sacramento area.
CSC accepts service Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The 2:00 PM cutoff is the most important scheduling detail at this location. Do not attempt service after 2:00 PM — documents will not be accepted. For Rush orders requiring same-day service, we confirm availability and schedule delivery for the morning window.

What Documents Are Commonly Served
DoorDash’s California litigation profile includes several active categories:
• PAGA wage and hour class action complaints — Private Attorneys General Act claims alleging that DoorDash misclassifies delivery workers as independent contractors, denying them minimum wage, expense reimbursement, and other California labor code protections. These are among the most frequently filed cases against DoorDash in California courts. AB5 and its gig company carve-out under Proposition 22 remain contested, and plaintiffs’ attorneys continue to test the boundaries of both.
• Personal injury complaints from delivery accidents — DoorDash drivers are on the road constantly and accidents are frequent. California personal injury cases naming DoorDash as a defendant raise questions about platform liability, independent contractor status, and insurance coverage during delivery periods.
• CCPA and privacy complaints — The California Attorney General’s \$375,000 CCPA settlement with DoorDash in 2024 arose from the company’s participation in a cooperative marketing program that shared customer data with third parties without providing the required opt-out mechanism. Individual and class action CCPA claims against DoorDash remain an active litigation category.
• Consumer fraud and UCL complaints — Claims involving hidden fees, deceptive subscription practices (DashPass), and misrepresented delivery estimates.
• Subpoenas for delivery records — Attorneys in personal injury and workers’ compensation cases subpoena DoorDash for GPS route data, delivery timestamps, driver information, and account records.
How We Handle It
CSC at 2710 Gateway Oaks Drive is one of our highest-volume service locations. We serve there multiple times per week for DoorDash and the many other major companies that designate CSC as their California registered agent. We know the building, the intake desk, and the documentation requirements.
The 2:00 PM cutoff is the critical operational constraint. We schedule DoorDash service — and all CSC service — with that window in mind, and we do not accept Rush assignments to this location without confirming morning availability first.
