Faster routes. Earn more.
Delivering on a bike allows Dashers to take faster routes. The more deliveries you complete, the more money you earn.
"I take shortcuts through small alleys or bike lanes in parks to get to the customers' places faster than [on a] regular route."

You don't need any specific prior work experience. But if you do have previous experience in the rideshare, food, or courier service industries, delivering with DoorDash is a great way to earn money.
We welcome bikers from other gig economy or commercial services such as UberEats, Postmates, Lyft, Caviar, Eat24, Google Express, GrubHub, AmazonFresh, Instacart, Amazon, Uber, Waitr, and Bite Squad.
