DoorDash Inc. wants to be more than a meal-delivery service. The restaurant courier signed on to make fresh-food deliveries through a partnership with Walmart Inc., which is looking for ways to keep up with a heavy investment by Amazon.com Inc. in grocery delivery.

The world’s biggest retailer started using DoorDash software to offer grocery items to some customers who place orders through Walmart’s website and apps. The new service, which is only available in Atlanta to start, charges customers a $9.95 delivery fee on each order of at least $30 worth of goods. Customers can receive their purchases on the same day they order.
