Things You Should Know

  • Earn a customer rating of 4.7 and maintain an acceptance rate of 70% or higher.
  • Get a completion rate of 95% or above, and complete at least 100 orders in the last month.

Top Dasher Requirements

  1. Top Dashers must have a high customer rating, and a 4.7 is the minimum you can get to become a Top Dasher.[1] Get good rating on DoorDash by delivering food quickly and staying in contact with the customer.
    • If your score falls below 4.2, DoorDash will no longer allow you to be a driver.
  2. Every time you accept an order, you get a little bit closer to that Top Dasher rating. If you accept more than 70% of your orders, you can qualify for the program.[2]
    • Keep in mind that this even means accepting orders that are small or that may not tip well.

  3. Normal DoorDashers only need a competition rate of 80% to stay on the app. For Top Dashers, that rate goes up to 95% or higher.[3]
  4. DoorDash rewards drivers who work a lot, and the Top Dasher program rewards them even more. If you’ve done at least 100 deliveries within the past 30 days, you can qualify for the Top Dasher program.[4]
  5. The Top Dasher program is there for drivers who have been around long-term. In order to qualify, you need to have completed at least 200 orders during your time on the app.[5]

Top Dasher Benefits

  1. Regular DoorDashers will continue to have to schedule their time on the road. As a Top Dasher, you can “Dash Now” at any time, even when it’s not busy. This means that anytime you’re ready to hit the road, you can simply use the “Dash Now” button to get started. Usually, the “Dash Now” button is only available when DoorDash is very busy.[7]
    • DoorDash still recommends scheduling your time to avoid too many Dashers on the road at once, but that’s up to you.
    • Becoming a Top Dasher may also give you slight priority over other Dashers when it comes to assigning orders. However, that’s not a noted perk on the DoorDash website.
