> You can toggle between a public profile and a restricted profile at any time.

> If your profile is public, anyone will be able to see your contributions, including approved public reviews, approved photos, store ratings, and item ratings alongside with some information about you (your first name, last initial, profile picture, and local expert status). In the future, we may allow other users to connect with you on the DoorDash platform, and having a public profile will mean these users can also see your public activity–such as your approved photos and public reviews.

> A restricted profile will only display your first name, last initial, profile picture, and number of public contributions (but not the contents of any contribution). Even if you have a restricted profile, your public contributions will still display on the merchant’s store page.

I don’t understand the appeal of making your DoorDash profile public.
For DoorDash, it lets them activate the old PageRank algorithm to get a massive SEO boost, since they’ll be linking people’s reviews to the restaurants and dishes reviewed.

I can’t think of any benefit to customers, though.
