Acceptance rate for Deliveroo riders
Learn what your Deliveroo acceptance rate means for your rider account and how the app tracks your order choices.
Last checked 17/10/2026.
What acceptance rate means
Your acceptance rate is simply the share of orders you take compared to the total number sent to your screen while you are logged in. If Deliveroo pings you ten jobs and you accept seven of them, your rate sits at seventy percent.
Deliveroo shows this metric so you can see how often you accept work. Unlike some apps, rejecting jobs does not instantly block you from logging in, but ignoring too many offers can slow down how many orders you get sent.
