To become a Top Dasher with DoorDash, you need to meet specific performance criteria consistently by the last day of each month. The key requirements are:

• Maintain a customer rating of at least 4.7 stars.
• Keep an acceptance rate of at least 70%.
• Achieve a completion rate of at least 95%.
• Complete at least 100 deliveries in the previous month.
• Have at least 200 lifetime deliveries completed.

Meeting these metrics identifies you as a reliable and customer-focused Dasher, qualifying you for Top Dasher status and its benefits

. Tips to achieve and maintain Top Dasher status:

• Deliver orders promptly and follow customer instructions carefully to maintain a high rating.
• Accept a wide range of orders, even low-paying ones, to keep your acceptance rate above 70%.
• Ensure you complete nearly all accepted deliveries to keep your completion rate high.
• Aim to complete at least 100 deliveries each month and build your lifetime deliveries beyond 200.
• Monitor your stats regularly through the Dasher app and maintain these standards consistently through the month.

Benefits of being a Top Dasher:

• Ability to use the "Dash Now" feature anytime, without scheduling in advance.
• Priority access to orders, especially those valued over $30.
• Higher chance to receive better and more frequent delivery opportunities.
• Greater flexibility and potential to maximize earnings.

However, note that the Top Dasher program has been replaced by the Dasher Rewards program in the U.S., which offers similar perks at the Platinum status level. Still, understanding and meeting these criteria can help you perform well and access priority benefits on DoorDash

. In summary, becoming a Top Dasher requires consistent high performance across customer ratings, acceptance, completion rates, and delivery volume, which unlocks priority scheduling, higher-value orders, and flexible dashing opportunities.
