Your Key to More Deliveries & Exclusive Perks

At dlivrd, we believe in rewarding gig drivers who go above and beyond. That’s why we’ve created Emerald Status — a live status designed to spotlight your consistency, reliability, and hustle.

Whether you're just getting started or already crushing it, your Emerald Status helps unlock:

Earlier access to order offers

Access to the all-new Emerald Elite tiers

Exclusive swag and faster support

Let’s break down how it works and how to level up.

FAQs

What’s Emerald Status?

It’s a live metric based on:

On-time pickups & deliveries

Offer response rate

A clean record (no complaints!)

Higher Emerald Status = more order offers!

Drivers with 25+ orders and a Status of 85+ get priority access in order offers — and the higher your status, the higher your priority.

Check the “My Stats” section in your dlivrd app. You’ll see Recent and Lifetime stats—only Recent counts toward offers.

Your last 30 orders. Whatever date range your last 30 orders cover is used for all metrics. 

 

Please note your Emerald Status includes rounding. For example, a 94.4 will be displayed as 94 but a 94.5 will be displayed as 95.

 

Please remember that “recent” can impact your response rate. As the date range shifts, the orders included shifts, meaning that sometimes your response rate can go down, simply because old responses fall off.

Every day! This means you’ll always have up-to-date performance info to guide your next moves.

  • Be on time to pickups – this is #1!
  • Swipe delivery complete right away after setup, with a photo. Don’t wait until you get to your car!
  • Respond to all offers—even if you decline.

On-Time Pickup:
Arrive early or exactly on time.
If you accept an offer last-minute (within 1 hour), late arrival won’t count against you.

On-Time Delivery:
Swipe “complete” no more than 15 min early or 5 min late.

Response Rate:
% of offers you respond to.
Rejecting is fine—just don’t let them expire.

What if the restaurant is delayed?

If you arrived on time and the restaurant was delayed by 15 minutes or more, it won’t count against you.

What about large orders?

Big deliveries usually come with extra time built in — in fact, dlivrd sees better on-time rates for these kinds of orders.

Some other tips:

  • You are welcome to enter the delivery early if you believe that you need extra time for the setup. Just do not complete the order early.
  • If you have a large set up, take the picture and swipe complete as soon as the setup is mostly complete. Get it in as soon as possible!
  • No last-minute bails – Canceling under 4 hours or not showing up hurts your score.

  • No complaints – Keep customers and partners happy.

  • Good delivery photos – Clear, well-taken photos make a difference.

Bail vs. Release:

  • Release: Dropped in the app, 4+ hrs before — no penalty
  • Bail: Less than 4 hrs or no-show — impacts status

We understand that delays can happen for reasons outside your control—such as customer availability or unexpected traffic. However, the delivery will still be marked as late, and support agents are not able to override that status.

Please know that the same on-time standards applied to drivers are also applied to dlivrd by our clients. We’re in this together, and we’re equally committed to improving and resolving the causes of delays.

To help avoid future late deliveries:

  • You can enter the delivery early if you expect a complex setup—just make sure the delivery is not completed more than 15 minutes early.
  • Take the delivery photo and swipe “complete” as soon as possible. If your setup is nearly done, it’s okay to take the photo before adding final touches.

While it is unfortunate that situations like this can occur – all drivers are equally vulnerable. 

Your Emerald Status includes your last 30 orders. Whatever date range your last 30 orders cover is used for all metrics. 

Please also remember that “recent” can impact your response rate. As the date range shifts, the orders included shifts, meaning that sometimes your response rate can go down, simply because old responses fall off.

The following are excluded from your status calculation:

  • Re-Deliveries (fixing a previous order)
  • Pickup Attempts (removed due to delays or cancellations)

Please note that although the orders above do not count toward your Emerald Status, they are still included in your last 30 deliveries. This means that if your last order was a re-delivery, then 29 orders will be used within your Emerald Status – not 30.

Beginning July 1, Emerald Elite will move to a new multi-tier status system that rewards top-performing drivers with exclusive perks.
