DoorDash is an American food delivery company founded in 2013 in Palo Alto, California, by Tony Xu, Andy Fang, Stanley Tang, and Evan Moore, and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The platform connects customers with local restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience retailers, dispatching independent couriers called Dashers to complete the last-mile delivery. DoorDash trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker DASH and is a component of the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500. The company holds the largest share of the US food delivery market and has expanded beyond restaurants into grocery, retail, and convenience delivery, competing with Uber Eats and Grubhub across US metros from New York to Los Angeles. ## What is DoorDash known for? DoorDash is known for on-demand delivery from local restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience shops across the United States. The catalog covers restaurant meals, fresh groceries, alcohol where permitted, pharmacy and convenience items, and pet supplies, with the DashPass subscription reducing delivery fees on eligible orders from partners such as Wendy's, Chipotle, and Safeway. - Restaurant delivery from national chains and local independents - Grocery delivery from partners such as Safeway, Albertsons, and Meijer - Convenience and drugstore items from 7-Eleven, CVS, and Wawa - Alcohol delivery where state and local law allows - Pet supplies and household essentials from retail partners - DashPass subscription reducing delivery and service fees on eligible orders ## Current cashback rate Flat-dollar cashback, higher for new DoorDash customers; see the live amounts on ShopBack. Live rate: see the current DoorDash rate on ShopBack. A checked rate appears here once the hourly rate check has fresh data; the binding rate is always the one on the DoorDash page at www.shopback.com. DoorDash cashback on ShopBack is a fixed dollar amount per qualifying order rather than a percentage: new DoorDash customers earn a larger reward and existing customers a small one, with the amounts periodically boosted. Cashback on DashPass sign-ups requires keeping an active paid membership for at least one month, and free trials of DashPass never qualify. The live amounts are on the ShopBack DoorDash page. ## How do you save money at DoorDash? Start every DoorDash order from the DoorDash page on ShopBack, because the qualifying actions listed there, such as a new-customer order or a paid DashPass sign-up, pay flat-dollar cashback rather than a percentage of each order. Activation costs nothing and takes one click before you order. Stack DoorDash's own price mechanics next: in-app promos, restaurant-funded percent-off deals, and DashPass free delivery on eligible orders all apply to the order total. DoorDash follows a featured-only coupon policy on ShopBack, so codes featured on ShopBack stack, but any other promo code applied at checkout can void the cashback for that order. Time larger orders and DashPass decisions to DoorDash's promotional windows. Summer restaurant weeks, holiday grocery pushes around Thanksgiving, and Super Bowl weekend bring recurring in-app discounts and delivery-fee waivers. The calendar below lists the annual pattern rather than fixed dates. ## DoorDash deals, discounts and sales: what stacks with cashback? The strongest DoorDash deals are usually not codes at all: a DoorDash sale or sitewide discount stacks with cashback automatically, because cashback is calculated on the discounted price you actually pay, and an upsized cashback rate works like an extra sitewide discount on top. To see today's DoorDash deals in one place, open the DoorDash page on ShopBack: the current cashback rate, any featured discount codes, and upsized offers are listed together there. This page does not maintain its own DoorDash sales list, because offers change too fast for a static page to stay honest. ## How to earn cashback at DoorDash 1. Start at ShopBack: Open the merchant page on ShopBack (site, app, or browser extension) and click through to the merchant. 2. Shop in the same session: Complete the purchase on the merchant site without visiting other coupon or deal sites in between, so the order tracks to your ShopBack account. 3. Wait for tracking: Cashback appears as pending in your ShopBack account, usually within 2 days of the order. 4. Withdraw your cashback: Once the merchant confirms the order (after the return window closes), the cashback becomes withdrawable to a bank account or PayPal. ## When are the best times to buy at DoorDash? - Super Bowl weekend (Early February): Restaurant and grocery promos surge as customers order wings, pizza, and party trays for game day across US metros. - Summer of DashPass (Throughout summer): Recurring DashPass member perks and restaurant-funded deals from chains such as Wendy's and Chipotle. - Thanksgiving grocery push (November): Grocery and convenience partners run delivery-fee waivers and discounts for holiday cooking and last-minute supplies. - Black Friday and Cyber Monday (Late November): DashPass sign-up offers and retail-partner promotions align with the broader US holiday shopping window. - New Year ordering (Late December into January): Convenience and grocery deals cluster around New Year gatherings and the return to weekday routines. ## How does DoorDash compare with alternatives?

Returns: DoorDash does not run traditional returns; instead it issues a refund or DoorDash credit when an order arrives with missing, incorrect, or spoiled items. Report the issue through the app or help center within the stated window. Eligible grocery orders showing a Quality Guarantee banner qualify for a refund or credit on qualifying issues. Payments: DoorDash accepts major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, and DoorDash gift cards, plus SNAP/EBT for eligible grocery items at participating stores.
