To become a Top Dasher on DoorDash, you need to meet several key performance requirements by the last day of the month:
- Maintain a customer rating of at least 4.7 stars.
- Have an acceptance rate of at least 70%, meaning you accept at least 70% of delivery offers.
- Achieve a completion rate of at least 95%, which is the percentage of accepted deliveries you successfully complete.
- Complete at least 100 deliveries in the most recent month.
- Have completed at least 200 lifetime deliveries overall.
These criteria are designed to identify reliable and high-performing Dashers
. Once you meet these requirements by 11:59 PM on the last day of the month, you qualify for Top Dasher status in the following month. Maintaining these metrics consistently is important to retain the status, although you only need to meet them at the end of each month to qualify
. Benefits of being a Top Dasher include:
- Priority access to higher-value orders (typically $30 or more).
- The ability to use the “Dash Now” feature anytime, not just during peak hours.
- Priority scheduling, allowing you to choose more lucrative delivery times.
- Overall greater flexibility and potential to increase earnings
Note that the Top Dasher program has been replaced in the U.S. by the Dasher Rewards program, but the above criteria reflect the traditional Top Dasher requirements
. In summary, becoming a Top Dasher requires consistently high customer ratings, acceptance and completion rates, and a significant number of deliveries, rewarding dedicated Dashers with perks that enhance their earning potential and flexibility.
