DoorDash Top Picks
Here are some suggested first ways to grow your business.
Attract New Customers
Get noticed by new customers and drive more orders with in-app ads and promotions. Ads (or Sponsored Listings) give you prime real estate in the DoorDash app, so you get noticed by new customers. Promotions let you offer discounts or free items to encourage customers to place orders, and Storefront promotions use similar incentives to get customers to place commission-free orders directly on your website. Licensing lets you add a revenue stream by selling an established, well-known brand out of your restaurant’s kitchen. Some of these features include:
Sponsored Listings: Targeted in-app advertising
Offers to new customers: Attract new customers with discounts to try your restaurant for the first time.
Storefront promotions: Offer your website customers a discount on their first order.
Licensing: Add a revenue stream by selling a well-known brand out of your restaurant’s kitchen.

Increase Order Volume & Size
Increase online restaurant sales as well as order volume and size (and, as a result, profits) with products like in-app promotions that provide customers with discounts or free items only when they reach a specific minimum order size. If you already offer alcohol in-store, add it to your DoorDash menu to help increase ticket sizes and reach customers looking to order both food and alcohol. You can do this with:
Alcohol sales: Add alcohol to your menu to help reach new customers and increase subtotals.
Discount for All Customers: Stores that run promotions see an average 5x return on every dollar spent.
Offer Free or Discounted Items: Drive sales by enticing customers to order more and spend more per order.
