A DoorDash merchant is a business that lists its menu on the DoorDash app through DoorDash for Merchants. When you partner with DoorDash, local businesses can reach new customers — including DashPass members who order regularly — and get orders delivered by a Dasher.

Fill out the sign-up form with your restaurant's name, address, email, and phone number, then choose your business type. After you submit the form, a DoorDash onboarding specialist helps you build your menu and set up your Merchant Portal — the dashboard store operators use to manage orders, payouts, and view customer feedback — so you can start receiving orders.

You just need your restaurant's basic info — name, address, and contact details. You don't need to buy anything first. If you already use a point of sale (POS) system, the software you use to manage orders and payments, it may connect directly. If not, DoorDash can send you a tablet, and everything syncs to your Merchant Portal.

No. You can receive orders via email or DoorDash’s Business Manager App.  Orders can also integrate with the POS system you already run, or with a tablet DoorDash can provide — either way, you can start receiving orders with nothing extra to buy.

Most restaurants can get their menu live within hours, not weeks. In fact, 40% of SMB (small and medium-sized business) restaurant merchants onboarded the same day they signed up (according to DoorDash merchant data), so you could be receiving orders faster than you think.

Delivery commission rate runs 15% to 30%, depending on whether you're on the Basic Plan, Plus Plan or Premier Plan. Pickup commission is 6% on every plan. Beyond the Marketplace, DoorDash Commerce Platform products like Online Ordering let you take orders directly through your own site, so you keep more of each order.

Yes. New restaurants get a 0% commission trial for up to 30 days on either the Plus Plan or Premier Plan. The Basic Plan offers a 7 day 0% commission trial. There's no contract — you can cancel or switch plans anytime.

No. There's a $0 signup fee and $0 monthly fee on both plans. The only fee you pay is commission when an order comes in, and your commission rate depends on your plan and whether it's delivery or pickup.

This page is for restaurant owners listing their business, not for a DoorDash driver looking to deliver. If you want to earn money on the road using the Dasher app, head to the Dasher sign-up page instead.

No. Signing up is a legitimate process directly through DoorDash for Merchants' official site, and you'll manage everything from your own secure Merchant Portal. You'll only ever be asked for basic business details — never payment to sign up.
