Drivers with a Bad Rating

DoorDash drivers must uphold an impressive rating system in order to remain independent contractors, earning steady orders through DoorDash’s system. Should their rating slip too much, this could put an end to their career altogether.

Dasher ratings are determined by their completion rate – that is, how many orders they complete that have been accepted as complete by Dashers. A poor completion rate could jeopardise earnings significantly for anyone hoping to become a Top Dasher.

As well as their completion rate, other aspects can influence a driver’s rating, including cleanliness of their vehicle and compliance with Doordash policies. If you had an unpleasant experience with a driver, it is recommended that they are reported so they may be blocked from making further deliveries; this can prevent other customers from having similar negative encounters with them in future deliveries and help prevent similar negative encounters from recurring for other customers. DoorDash will review and address your complaint accordingly.

Drivers with a Good Rating

DoorDash drivers’ ratings are determined by a range of criteria, including timeliness, order accuracy, customer service quality and driving courtesy. A minimum rating of four stars is considered satisfactory.

As a Dasher, friendly and courteous interactions with customers can significantly boost your ratings. Being genuine when greeting customers means more than any superficial attempts at being friendly – being on time (no more than five minutes late for deliveries) should also be prioritized.

As it’s essential that Dashers maintain high completion rates in order to prevent deactivation, it’s also wise to choose your orders carefully. In order to increase acceptance ratings and the chance of reaching Top Dasher status. In addition, full-time Dashers should make sure they track mileage accurately and claim eligible deductions when filing their taxes – this will save them money!

Drivers with a Bad Experience

As soon as customers place an order with DoorDash, the system begins searching for drivers near to the address in which it will deliver, and once one is identified by an algorithm, that person will be assigned as the recipient of that order.

Dashers are independent contractors and they’re free to accept or decline delivery requests as they see fit. However, if a driver consistently accepts too few orders or declines too many of them, their Dasher account may be temporarily suspended until their customer satisfaction rating improves.

If a Dasher experiences difficulties with you as a customer, they can report it directly to DoorDash to lower their rating and help other customers avoid them in future orders. Furthermore, if you had a bad experience with one particular driver who continues delivering to you despite reporting them, report them directly so they are no longer scheduled. DoorDash will review your feedback and implement changes where needed in their service delivery system.
