Set up delivery zones

Control where guests can order delivery, with a separate area and delivery provider for each zone.

Requirements

  • Delivery turned on (Provide delivery at this location)

  • Permission to edit store settings (Admin or Manager by default)


Add a delivery zone

Your zones are on the Delivery page (Settings › Orders and delivery › Delivery) in your Owner Dashboard. Each zone covers one area.

  1. Click Add zone, then select Owner online ordering or Catering.

  2. Under Provider, select In-House, DoorDash, or Uber Eats.

  3. Under Area, select Radius or Zip Code.

  4. Enter the radius in miles, or enter the zip code.

  5. Click Save.

You can also set a fee and a minimum order amount for each zone. To change or delete a zone, click it in the list.


Radius zones

A radius zone covers addresses within a set driving distance of your restaurant. It uses the shortest driving route, not a straight line, so the area follows the roads and isn't a perfect circle.

This is why an address that looks inside the circle on a map can still show as outside your delivery area.

⚠️ DoorDash zones cannot be larger than 5 miles.

Choose the right radius size

A smaller radius gives you faster, more reliable deliveries. The farther a driver has to go, the more likely the order arrives late or the delivery fails.

In some dense US cities, we recommend a maximum radius. If your restaurant is in one of these cities, keep each zone at or below this radius:

City

Recommended maximum radius

Manhattan

2 miles

Philadelphia, Washington DC

2.5 miles

Brooklyn

3 miles

Queens, Bronx, Chicago, Boston

4 miles

This is a recommendation, not a limit.


Zip code zones

A zip code zone covers every address in one zip code. To deliver to more than one zip code, add a zone for each one.

ℹ️ Note: Zip code zones aren't available for restaurants in Canada.


Block delivery to an area

To stop delivery to part of your area, add a radius or zip code zone that covers it. Then set Delivery to Not Allowed.


Custom zones

If a radius or zip code doesn't fit your area, Owner support can build a custom zone with an exact shape. Contact Owner support with the area you want covered.
