Because of DoorDash Driver Saturation, I’m Going to Try for Top Dasher
Is the Top Dasher Program worth it?

Okay so this original article was written last year. Here is an update 3/4/2023. So they have made so many changes at Doordash that your acceptance rate was really starting to matter. My acceptance rate is low because I’ve always been a hard-core cherry picker. However, because of this new update with DoorDash, I was basically getting no orders or really low-ball orders, plus, they kicked me off the pizza program because the last picture I took was blurry so they said they couldn’t verify it, so they kicked me off the program, significantly reducing my income.
I tried repeatedly to get back on the program for the last 6 months of calling and calling, and calling, with no luck. Finally, I gave up…until DoorDash rolled out the grocery deliveries. Now, if you take at least 7 shop and pay grocery deliveries with a 95% fill rate, you receive Top Dasher. Now this is very important for someone like me who does this full time. With Top Dasher status I am able to work anytime and in any zone, even if it isn’t busy.
This is exactly the break that I needed! I hate the idea of taking trash orders to get your acceptance rate…
