Free DoorDash Photoshoots for Merchants
DoorDash offers eligible merchants a free professional photoshoot to help showcase popular menu items in the DoorDash app. To qualify, you must be a new merchant or be on a specific pricing plan, such as the Premier plan. DoorDash covers the photographer and image placement on your menu. You're responsible for the cost of the food prepared during the shoot.
How Do I Set Item-Level Prep Times?

How Do I Use the Item Description Generator to Update Menu Items?
You can use the item description generator in the Merchant Portal to automatically create or rewrite menu item descriptions using AI. The tool uses details like item names, photos, and modifiers, and lets you review, edit, or regenerate descriptions before saving them.
