Grilling Season On-Demand: Announcing our Partnership with Beyond Meat to Offer Limited-Edition Summer Grilling Kits from DashMart
Today we announced a partnership with Beyond Meat® to offer limited-edition grilling kits available exclusively at DashMart. Just in time for summer and July 4th, we conducted a consumer survey* which found that nearly three-quarters (73%) of Americans agree that grilling is a must-do activity this summer and more than half admit to shopping for their BBQ supplies last minute.
By partnering with Beyond Meat®, we set out to provide a seamless and delightful way to bring the best of the neighborhood (and BBQ) right to our consumers’ doorstep.
The limited-edition grilling kits offer a custom grilling mit, apron, grilling tools, a bottle opener a recipe card with custom dishes and this summer’s hottest grilling essential: the sizzling new Beyond Burger®
“This 4th of July weekend, we’re excited to partner with DoorDash to further our mission to make plant-based options more accessible to all,” said Rebecca Infusino, VP of Retail Sales, Beyond Meat. “There’s nothing more classic and delicious than a perfectly grilled, juicy burger on a hot summer day.

- Plant-based meat — good for you and for BBQ: Consumers are increasingly reaching for plant-based options. Over three quarters (78%) of Americans want plant-based meat at cookouts and BBQs, and more than half (65%) are choosing plant-based options to eat healthier — particularly millennials.
- Delivery to the cookout rescue: Nearly everyone (91%) can relate to needing supplies in a pinch. More than half (60%) of Americans admit to shopping for their BBQ supplies last-minute, with nearly three-quarters (72%) forgetting an item when they do so.
