Frequently Asked Questions

All restaurants who have at least one location active as a partner on DoorDash are eligible.

DoorDash will review all applicants who meet the eligibility requirements and make selections based on a variety of factors. We are seeking a diverse, representative group of businesses to serve on the council. As a growing global company, it is important we also ensure that geographic regions and various demographics are represented.

Restaurant Advisory Council members are required to join us for a 3-hour onboarding session. Members will also be asked to join monthly meetings (about 90 minutes long). Meetings are currently held via Zoom. Future cohorts may be asked to participate in one in-person meeting.

Applications open twice annually, in the fall and winter.

After the application window closes, an internal committee at DoorDash reviews submissions. The committee will reach out to eligible applicants to schedule interviews as the next step in the process.

Restaurant Advisory Council members serve six-month terms and attend one meeting per month. If you are unable to apply today, we will re-open the application every six months so you will have a chance to apply later.
