Change your store location in the DoorDash app or website in under a minute

To change which store location DoorDash shows you, open the app or website and tap the address bar at the top of the screen. Type in a new address or select from your saved locations. DoorDash will then display restaurants and stores available at that new location. The change takes effect immediately — you do not need to restart the app or confirm anything beyond entering the address.

This feature is useful if you work in one neighborhood but live in another, travel frequently, or want to see what restaurants are near a friend's house before you visit. The address you enter does not have to match your account address or payment method — DoorDash only uses it to show you nearby merchants.

Key Takeaways

  • Tap the address bar at the top of the DoorDash app or website and enter a new location to see restaurants and stores in that area.
  • You can save multiple addresses in your account and switch between them without changing your payment or account information.
  • Changing your location does not affect your account settings, saved payment methods, or delivery address — it only changes what restaurants appear on your screen.
  • If you do not see the address bar at the top, make sure you are on the home screen and not inside a restaurant or order details page.

Using the address bar on the DoorDash app

Open DoorDash and look at the very top of the screen. You will see a bar that shows your current address or "Deliver to [address]". Tap anywhere on that bar. A search field will open where you can type a new street address, neighborhood name, or zip code.

As you type, DoorDash shows matching addresses below the search field. Tap the one you want. The app will refresh and show restaurants and stores that deliver to that location. If you want to go back to your original address, tap the address bar again and select it from your recent locations or type it in again.

Saving multiple addresses for faster switching

DoorDash lets you save up to five addresses in your account. To add a saved address, tap the address bar and search for a location. After you select it, a heart icon appears next to the address. Tap the heart to save it. The next time you want to switch to that location, tap the address bar and the saved address will appear at the top of the list.

You can name your saved addresses to make them easier to find — for example, "Work", "Home", or "Mom's House". To edit the name, go to your account settings, select "Saved Places", and tap the address you want to rename. This is especially helpful if you order from multiple locations regularly.

What happens to your order when you change location

If you change your location while browsing restaurants, your cart will empty. DoorDash does this because restaurants in one area cannot deliver to a different area. If you have items in your cart and you switch locations, you will need to add items from restaurants in the new location before you can place an order.

Your delivery address for checkout is separate from your browsing location. When you go to pay, you can enter any address you want — it does not have to match the location you were browsing. This means you can look at restaurants near your office but have food delivered to your home.

Troubleshooting when the address bar does not appear

If you do not see the address bar at the top of your screen, you are likely on a page other than the home screen. Tap the home icon at the bottom of the app to return to the main screen. The address bar should appear at the top.

On the DoorDash website, the address bar is in the same location at the top of the page. If it is not visible, refresh the page or clear your browser cache. If you are still having trouble, log out and log back in to your account.

Changing location on the DoorDash website

The process on the website is identical to the app. At the top of the page, you will see a field that says "Deliver to" followed by an address. Click on that field and type a new address. Select the address from the dropdown list that appears. The page will reload and show restaurants available at that location.

You can save addresses on the website the same way you do in the app. After you select an address, a heart icon appears. Click it to save the address to your account. Saved addresses sync across the app and website, so an address you save on your phone will appear when you use DoorDash on your computer.

Why DoorDash shows different restaurants at different locations

Each restaurant on DoorDash has a delivery zone — the area where they will deliver orders. A restaurant in downtown might deliver to a three-mile radius, while a restaurant in the suburbs might deliver to a larger area. When you change your location, DoorDash shows only restaurants whose delivery zones include that address.

This is why you might see completely different restaurants when you switch from your home address to your work address, even if they are only a few miles apart. Some restaurants simply do not deliver that far, and some neighborhoods have their own local restaurants that do not serve other areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing my location affect my payment method or account information?

No. Changing your browsing location only changes what restaurants appear on your screen. Your payment method, account address, phone number, and all other account information stay the same. When you place an order, you can enter any delivery address you want during checkout.

Can I change my location on DoorDash while I have an active order?

You can change your browsing location, but it will not affect an order that is already being prepared or delivered. The driver will still deliver to the address you entered when you placed the order. Changing your location only affects which restaurants you see when browsing.

What if I enter an address where DoorDash does not deliver?

DoorDash will show you a message saying no restaurants are available in that area. This usually means no merchants on the platform have delivery zones that cover that address. You can try entering a nearby address or check back later, as restaurant coverage changes over time.

Do I have to use my saved address, or can I enter a different one each time?

You can do either. You can tap the address bar and type a completely new address every time you order, or you can save addresses and select them from your list. There is no requirement to use saved addresses — they are just a convenience feature.
