In Toronto, Dashers earn a minimum of CA$17.60/hour*
Across Toronto and the GTA, people order delivery throughout the day, from the downtown core to the surrounding neighbourhoods. As a Dasher, you decide when you go online — lunch rushes, evenings, weekends, or a quick dashing session between other plans.
* Dashers can earn more than CA$17.60/hour depending on factors like deliveries completed, time of day and location. CA$17.60/hour reflects Ontario's general minimum wage. Earnings include Base Pay and Peak Pay (when applicable). Learn more about how Dasher pay works in Ontario.
Your total earnings* are made up of several components:
Base Pay
Every delivery offer includes a base amount (shown in the Dasher app as Base Pay). You'll see the estimate before you accept, so you always know what an offer is worth.
Customer tips
Customers can add a tip in the app, before or after a delivery. 100% of the tip goes to you.
Peak Pay
When it's busy in Toronto, extra Peak Pay can be added to offers on top of your Base Pay. Look for it during high-demand windows like weekend evenings.
Challenges
From time to time you may see Challenges. Complete a set number of deliveries in a window to earn extra on top of your other earnings.

Best areas to
Dash in Toronto, ON
Demand shifts around the city throughout the day, so where you dash matters as much as when. Below is a quick guide
to popular areas across Toronto and the GTA, what each is like to dash in, and when they tend to pick up.
Bounded roughly by Front, Bay, King and University, the Financial District and downtown core are dense with office towers, condos and restaurants — which means lots of short, close-together offers. Weekday lunch (11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m.) is the standout window.
Dashing by bike or on foot is often faster than by car here, since one-way streets, streetcar tracks and limited parking can slow a vehicle down. Great starting area for new Dashers who want a high volume of nearby offers.
