Partnership spans all 50 Best global rankings and regional programmes
13 January 2026 – 50 Best has announced SevenRooms, a DoorDash company, as its first-ever global partner – with SevenRooms appointed as Official Booking Platform and DoorDash as Official Delivery Partner – across the Restaurants, Bars, Hotels and Vineyards brands in the 50 Best portfolio for the next three years.
The partnership builds on SevenRooms’ existing relationship with The World’s 50 Best Hotels and marks the first time a partner will support across the full 50 Best portfolio. The agreement spans all global rankings and regional offshoots under the 50 Best umbrella, connecting a global community of venues with guest experience technology and on-demand delivery where available.
Craig Hawtin-Butcher, Managing Director of 50 Best, says: “SevenRooms becoming 50 Best’s first global partner across all verticals reflects the continued scale and evolution of the 50 Best portfolio. As the organisation has expanded considerably over the last several years, it’s increasingly important that we work with partners who understand the global nature of our platform and the breadth of the hospitality community we serve. This partnership supports our ambition to continue building a strong, connected community across all of our rankings and events worldwide.”
Danilo Mangano, EVP International at SevenRooms, a DoorDash company, comments: “We’re proud to serve as the first-ever global partner to 50 Best across all brands, as we bring together world-class hospitality technology and on-demand delivery with one of the most respected brands in global gastronomy. Together, we have a unique opportunity to celebrate the restaurants, bars, hotels and vineyards shaping dining culture worldwide, while equipping them with tools that help power sustainable business growth, and deepen guest relationships both on-and off-premise.””
The partnership underscores the continued expansion and international scale of the 50 Best organisation, following the integration of The World’s 50 Best Vineyards into the portfolio and the launch of North America’s 50 Best Restaurants, both in 2025, and the recent announcement of Europe’s 50 Best Bars to be unveiled in 2026. 50 Best is owned and operated by William Reed, an independent UK-based media group.
