What is DashPass for Employees?

DashPass for Employees is an organization-sponsored perk that allows eligible participants to subscribe and enjoy the full benefits of a DashPass subscription. A DashPass for Employees plan remains valid until the organization's contractual end date, or until otherwise specified by the organization. 

DashPass is a subscription service that offers unlimited deliveries from thousands of eligible restaurants with a $0 delivery fee on orders over $12.

DashPass is currently available in the United States and Canada with some areas excluded. See full terms here.

Activation Troubleshooting (For Employees)

Once an admin has added an employee to the Portal, the employee will be sent an email with a link to join and activate their employee benefits.  In the email, the employee will need to select ‘Join’ in order to activate their benefits.

If an employee did not receive an email to activate their benefits, please have the employee follow the steps below:

  1. Create a DoorDash account using your work email address and join your team at www.doordash.com/teams/join.

  2. Once signed in, a message will appear confirming that you would like to join your company’s Portal and activate your benefits.

  3. Select ‘Join’ to activate your benefits

Once benefits are activated by the employee, they are immediately available.

Note: You’ll need a valid credit card attached to your account. Make sure that this has been attached to your account prior to signing up for DashPass. If you do not have a valid payment method, click on the menu button at the top left of the page. Scroll down to the ‘Payment’ section and input a valid credit card.

FAQ

Q: What email address do I need to use?

A: Your DashPass for Employees subscription is only valid based on what your organization communicates/instructs you to use. That may be a corporate email address or a personal email address. If you’re uncertain, please check with your team’s admin about which email to register with.

If you already have an existing DoorDash account, please create a new account using this email address, as you will not be able to transfer your eligibility in any way.

 Q:  I got charged for my DashPass for Employees subscription. What should I do?

A: If you’ve been charged for your DashPass for Employees subscription, do not attempt to cancel the DashPass subscription yourself. Please reach out to your DoorDash representative or email us at [email protected] so we can work with your organization’s Account Manager.

You can expect a refund for the charged amount and an auto-enrollment into your organization’s DashPass for Employees plan. 

Q: Why isn’t my DashPass subscription applying to my order?

A: If you don’t see your DashPass subscription applying to your order, please double-check the following:
