The potential earnings range displayed is an estimate. DoorDash makes no guarantees as to the sales your business may earn by using our platform.To estimate potential incremental sales on the DoorDash platform, we review past sales data from a subset of businesses in your area using DoorDash. We extrapolate that data to provide an estimated range of annual average earnings on the platform. We choose similar store listings based on the information you share about your business, including business address and the type of business (e.g. restaurant, convenience, flowers, etc.). This includes stores that run promotions on DoorDash. If you do not input a business address, we select similar stores based on the location indicated by your IP address. Based on data availability, we may adjust the size of the area for which you are seeing earnings estimates. For any given earnings estimate result, the general geographic location of the stores that were used as inputs for that particular estimate is shown.Your actual sales on the platform may be impacted by a range of factors including local customer demand, pricing, and store availability.

Hypothesis: If we increase the emphasis of ‘delivery’ on the Hero component by changing 1) the background color to white and bold ‘alcohol delivery’ and 2) the featured image to showcase a DD hotbag, then we expect to see an increase in conversions by reducing the time for a Mx user to understand what value DoorDash can offer.

Problem: With a decline in conversion rate on dasher.doordash.com over the last 60 days, we’d like to see if testing new hero module copy increases conversion.
