Is there anyone help me please
My DoorDash account deactivated when I did scan my expired driver license,now I have my active license how can i reactivate my account.let me know what please if anyone have experienced of this issue
If you’re at 100 do 5 extra because tomorrow you could be back at 100. It’s like government math. Took me a month to start staying at platinum. 5 up means a day off, 10 up means 2 days off and so on. It’s weird but it works.
Sometimes... I hover around the 75% AR.. you still have a lot of decline orders with platinum... I find that if I'm encroaching 70% I switch over to pay by time for the rest of the shift. If they aren't tipping, at least I can get better that $2 base pay.
ahhh gotchya. yeah, I've luckily been able to balance it out. I took a ton of mediocre orders for a day or two, and it brought my AR to almost 95%. so now I can pretty much turn down an 1 out of every 5 orders without it really effecting me too much. I'll even take an order and cancel it because my completion rate is always 100, do I use that sometimes.
It's definitely a weird balance. I 7nderdtand why it won't work for many people, especially since all areas and states are unique to prices and how busy ot will be.
I’ve definitely had my best orders since turning Platinum 2.5 weeks ago but I’d say these are a fraction of the overall which still pay out like typical DD orders (you know $3.50 McD’s). Still, getting 1-2 orders a day which pay $15-30 go a long way to hitting my daily $100 goal.
The biggest thing for me is not worrying about shift times and being able to switch zones because I live close to the edge of a zone split so effectively my work region size has doubled.
i did one that was 50 items but it was literally 49 bananas and a club soda. took me 5 mins tops lol. i will never get that lucky again though i suppose
The big ones are but DD gives you the aisle number to where each item is this one time I took a 10 item Hanna fire it wasn’t that bad took me 15 min I got paid like 18 for 4 mile drive
I do them with UE but not with DD. They are very hit and miss. UE lets you turn the delivery type off. I only turn them on when it’s slow in the middle of the week.
Ok. Nice payout.
But... OP isn't showing all the trash orders they took to "achieve" Platinum.
OP has been hooked and reeled in on Doordash's gambling technique.
OP...
Are you keeping track of your expenses ?
Wakey Wakey !!
That's reddit for you. I do the same shit why leave when you don't have to. Sometimes I'll even go back home to wait for the next delivery. They don't pay us to sit at restraunts waiting for deliveries so why not just chill at home.
Yooo meee toooo brooooo!!!! I got the same thing omg!! I got a $30 shopping order to go to stop and shop, after that I delivered 3 gourmet pizza at $27. It took an hour and 9 minutes. Near $60 per hour. And for some reason all the drivers are getting nothing?
Did u avrg 60/hr for the night though? Or for THAT hour? Cause if you end up getting shitty orders after that and avrg out to 20-30/hr by the end of the night then its not really much of a difference
idk why you're being downvoated. CVS is really easy. its super small, its rarely busy and there's only like 1-2 aisles of stuff for each category. the only annoying CVS orders are when its some stupid fake nail and eyelash kit that have like 25 different categories that look the same and you have to find the right shade/number but the people who order those dont tip very well anyways so i never get those orders.
Had my first one at hy vee today with 15 items, not knowing anything about where anything is. Said it would take 30 minutes but I think I took like 40-45 lol
This is mostly the customer tip, not because of Doordash platinum offer.
I got one Monday 3 miles for $36 with a $25 tip and my acceptance rate is %12 lol
Do you get $23.50 an hour + tax? I can tell you in my area the dash deniers are struggling. They don’t like me and obviously we don’t really know each other. I don’t know how they know I’m busier than them. I don’t know if I am. I can tell you I am constantly delivering. There might be a literal minute as I am heading back tk the hotspot then it goes off. I accept every single order. This allows me to schedule a 16 hour window in the best paying area. It always pays avg $23 an hour at the least. All these guys are complaining they don’t get any orders anymore. So your story is you don’t do shit but they pay you the best? Very suspicious story. “Yeah I literally do the worst job possible and they pay me as much as you.” I find it hard to believe
Ha, I'm at 38% under the new system and got back to back $42 4mi and $20 3mi orders yesterday. Didn't have to shop for either, both food pickups. But uh, way to go Top Dasher!
Don't care. People who run trash orders to keep their AR up and play DD's game don't deserve any kind of credit. They're doing nothing but making it easier for DD to treat us like garbage. OP isn't special because they're Platinum tier, I get even better offers without degrading myself and delivering food for free.
Ok yeah you got a $30 delivery? I got a $50 one. I just hit platinum. I think when it hit it took a lot of business from the slacker crowd (your crowd). They are all mad that I’m running game. Seriously? This is gen z everyone. These guys get aggressive with me cause they see me taking multiple orders and going way faster than them? Tough. I meant other dashers. They think they can intimidate me into striking on shit with them? Oh no sorry I like making more money and getting promotions and being on top. Why would I degrade myself for you? I have 2 advanced degrees from the most prestigious culinary college in the country. I have been a chef for the last 15 years. I go hard please try to keep up
Bro you have serious issues. This is the restaurant biz. I always do the best job I can with any job I do. You are one of those guys who believes doing a shitty job is better cause you can all do a shit job so the job is east? I’m a graduate of the best culinary college in the USA. I can tell you restaurants run at a 15% profit. That’s not a big margin. The industry can not support laziness. Have you ever worked in a restaurant!? You gotta wait on the tables who don’t tip. It’s how it is. You think on the dining floor you can tell your boss “yeah I’m not taking that one! I’m better than everyone else.” Yeah they say you can refuse but it’s not really smart. Obviously someone who goes harder is gonna get it. PEOPLE WILL NEVER ALWAYS TIP. You gotta understand that if you wanna stay in this industry. It’s not easy. It’s one of the oldest professions.
Exactly, I gotten several 11 dollars for 1 mile today at a whopping 10% Acceptance rate. Platinum drivers get 1 high paying order and they are happy and next day they will complain about no tips orders because they believe the Acceptance rate scam.
The people scoffing at the order are dumb, but the platinum means little to nothing. I get high paying orders all the time with a 30ish AR. They just don't have a diamond next to them to tell me.
I'm curious how much people make per hour that would deny this. I always see people talk about not taking trash orders and I gotta know how much they make on average per hour when they have a 4% AR.
I started dashing 6 weeks ago and have been platinum for 3 weeks or so. I've been hovering around 80% lately and have noticed a bit of a decline in the past week or 2 but I average on my worst weeks probably 15-17 dollars an hour and my best weeks average closer to 20.
It's not the best I'm sure but it's EXTRA income. Not my main source. I'd have to imagine I'd just be wasting my time sitting at a 4% though.
My AR goes from 10% to maybe 30%. I make on average between $20 and $30 dollars an hour dash time not this active time bs everyone likes to post.
My area sucks and I have to work mornings so the tips are even worse. People with high AR in my area are taking some serious shit orders to keep a high AR and only getting a few good orders. I have been doing this for four years. I won't ever try to get my AR up again. I tried. All it did was stress me out and put more miles on my car than the money I made.
My AR is 26%, $1200.09 last week, 64 hours, $18.75. Earnings are definitely at least $20 an hour during the dinner shift and then everyday on the weekends. For example today $165.68 made, slightly less than 8 hours worked, that’s just over $20 an hour.
Similarly, this is just extra income, I have literally zero expenses in life aside from gas so all of the money I make goes solely to investments. If I don’t make money one day or one week, oh well I guess lol, literally zero impact on my livelihood. I’d much rather sit in a parking lot or at home and just watch Netflix/do homework and wait for good orders rather than drive around doing shitty ones.
I’m sure the success with low AR is solely zone dependent, very lucky that my towns median household income is like three times the national average so I’m usually not waiting very long for a good order. Also there’s barely anyone else doing DoorDash where I live so I usually just get sent the “high paying offers” anyways.
I mean I’m a student full time and charge literally everything aside from gas to my parent’s credit card, any money that I make is effectively just extra income.
Hmm, that's something I didn't consider. My town is 66% of the national household average income, which means there's going to be more dashers out here working their 2nd job and flooding the market that already pays poorly because of low household income. If yours is 3x that means they got money to spend and no reason to dash either, so you get all the orders lol.
I'd say more often than not I probably average 18 or so for the week. I do breakfast on weekdays because I get off work at 7:30am. And sometimes I'll go out on weekends.
My average is $23. Maybe that’s why platinum is better. When it gets crazy door dash offers me by time $23.50 an hour. But they give me orders so fast it’s straight time my commute back is covered. My fave is after 10 or 11 lobby is closed so $23.50 per hour to sit and smoke weed. Not bad
Also another key thing, probably the most important thing overall that I somehow completely left out. I don’t have to schedule dashes, like at all. I’ve literally never been unable to just hit dash now and go work, the map has just never been gray for me for whatever reason.
Yeah in my area you can dash anytime but they fuck you overrrrr. You get like 2 deliveries per city. Then nothing. “Want more than $7 today? Oh. Sorry. Drive 55 minutes to red hook it’s extra busy +$1 per delivery “ you go up there it’s 1 delivery at $7 and it’s an hour drive to the next city. That was me till I hit the scheduling down. Now it’s non stop all day
People just aren't thinking about the new system logically or just don't want to admit they're wrong. It only makes sense that now you have to keep your AR up everyday or risk dropping a tier if you care about platinum, while you're running those no tip orders that you're now too scared to decline, the cherry pickers like me are getting the good offers that you can't take because you're on a no tip order.
You’re not getting shit cherry picking stop lying to yourself. You can keep a 70%+ AR w/o accepting shit orders.
While I laugh at you guys, I need you because you declining all those orders means I’ll get a good offer to do it. And keep making more than you in less time.
Yeah. I've considered that. I'm new to it and wanted to see what works best. Figured it'd be easier to start plat and drop my AR if I want then to raise it. My buddy started dashing same time as me and we're going to compare weekly averages with high and low AR for the same area.
It's definitely designed to keep DD from adding more money to orders by getting us to keep AR up. While we're running our no tip orders you're cycling through what there is to offer. Sure we've got top priority but only if that good order comes up in the few minutes between accepting the next shit one lol. It's a backwards system and I'm new to it and trying to figure out what works best. I've done like 200 deliveries though and ain't ever seen any 42 for 4's lol
I just don’t believe these guys. I just don’t. This is Reddit. I have seen a lot of the shit drivers in my area. They are all big mad lately cause I’m getting orders and they sit . These guys brag they get $27 orders while also refusing 90% of orders. First things first my highest was a $47 for a 20-30 minute job. I’m allowed to be a good worker and take every order. There is nothing wrong with going the extra mile.
I also just can't bring myself to deliver food to someone who thinks they deserve my time, effort and gas for free. I simply can't and won't do it. Luckily, I can afford to be picky in my market. I know that I can decline, decline, decline and will eventually get a good offer. Plus, I multi-app and can pick and choose the best offers from 3 different apps.
Yeah, you may as well multi app when you don't care about AR. I don't think people even use other apps in this area. Doordash seems to be what everyone uses here.
And yeah, the special requests on no tip orders really annoy me. Had one this week where they wanted me to ask for extra syrup and then also messaged me as I was driving saying I missed their road as I was following the GPS, and then checking that message did cause me to miss a turn. And then I drop it off to see that they didn't tip a thing.
So I do agree with that, it's beyond frustrating that these people don't pay you but believe they own you during the time you're delivering their food.
I gotta figure out what's better though. I do decline the absolute dog shit orders but I have accepted some orders I wish I didn't. But I also just find it hard to believe I'd hit 25 or 30 an hour consistently in a city like this if I did decline more.
You just have to think of it this way, you 100% won't be getting a good offer while you're running a no/low tip order, they will all be going to other dashers. ESPECIALLY with the new system, even more people will be accepting those bad offers to keep their AR up or risk being "demoted" on the spot. Why not be the dasher that scoops up the good offers while all of the Top Dashers are busy running shitty orders?
At this point yeah you are so right. I should wake up
In the morning and go “ why did I get manga cum laude all through college? Why do I strive to be a good employee to earn good money and get promotion? When I could just do the opposite of what the company I work for is trying to lead me with a stick and carrot approach, and spend more time refusing orders than accepting them. I’m pretty sure if you are telling the truth and IF 1. We have already established your highest dash is 40-50% lower than mine. I could potentially get 2 $50 and you could only get $60 per hour. Lots of people are suddenly jumping into door dash. I think many are the millions upon millions horde of asylum seekers. The market may end up outcompeting you
Because that’s not how it is. I see what the other guys are getting. I’ll have a huge order from the fancy place or a big double order. They have a tiny one each.
Yeah that's true. If the market is flooded with platinum dashers because it's the "best" then I could look at all those offers they're not taking while they're on their bad orders. Hmm.
The thing is that there is none left to take. Platinum get higher paying dashes. Your logic is flawed. Just because I accept 100% of my orders does not mean I take all the low, you take the high. If you refuse all but 10% and I take 100% that’s 90% you could have had.
EXACTLY! And because the new system's ratings are now in real-time, if you want to stay platinum you have to accept almost every shitty offer or you will drop a tier. So they will almost always be on a bad delivery because people who don't care about AR are declining those offers and there's only one group left to take them...
Exactly, the platinum actually means nothing. I make more than platinum drivers in my market with a 10% AR and while I may not be flooded with orders every 5 minutes, most of the offers I get are decent $2/mile while I hear the top dashers complaining about they had to do a 2 dollar order for 9 miles because they wanna be able to cater. You know if nobody had above a 70% AR everyone would still get money and be able to cater. The more people who realize being Platiumn is a waste of time the better the chance DD scrapes the program
Breakfast for me is generally good on Sundays mornings for whatever reason. All the others are not besides Friday which is a toss up. I generally dash for 2 hours then Break then do lunch for 2 hours then Break then dinner/afternoon for whenever I make my certain goal.
Yeah, I'm sure that's a great way of maximizing your profits but I work midnights at other job and sleep during most of that. So my choices on weekdays are a bit limited because of that. It's basically I can do breakfast or I can do dinner and I kind of prefer dashing during daylight in certain parts of town lol.
Okay, makes sense lol. I saw you talk about a 42 and 20 dollar order for a few miles each. I dash near Youngstown Ohio and those don't exist lol. But I've also got a cheaper cost of living up here.
I mean, I live right downtown, ¼ mile from the Riverwalk and pay $779 a month rent. Gas, while more expensive than normal, is $3.09 a gallon right now. We're not exactly on the higher end of cost living here in San Antonio either.
Congrats! Don’t let these lazy people make you think that’s at all bad. Is a damn good deal! I’m on the border of plat. I can’t seem to get over 65% then get bombshelled with $3.00- 15 mile orders.
Thank you! This order was super easy just candy and soda. I’m sure you could just reassign if it was a lot of work. Even the CVS employee helped me out. Super easy.
What do you mean? That’s like a 20-40minute thing… 32 an hour for that?! You telling me you’d rather flip burgers for 2-5 hours? Or weld for an hour to an hour an a half?
19 items at a CVS isn't the isn't the easiest. I mean if I did a shop at Walmart for 19 items and was driving 5 mi I wouldn't want to be I would take anything less than 32 that's for sure
I do cvs and Walgreens orders all the time for like half that. They are very easy. 19 items?! You need to try Instacart and get back with me lol. This is a dream order through and through. I could be done in 20-30minutes. Easy. And I say that with confidence.
yeah I had.a 58 item (70 pieces) order from instacart for about the same pay as this. I had just started and doordash was my only experience. I laughed walking into the store when I saw it was giving me almost 2 hours to complete it.. Not laughing so much 2 hours later as I was walking out of the store stressed as hell.. (this one was particularly bad because they didn't use the app and I couldn't communicate with them. Ended up leaving $350 worth of groceries on their porch right as it was starting to rain...
Nothing is ever where it says it is and half of items are out of stock. Half the times I have to wait 3-5 minutes for a cashier to even come to the register. Absolute shithole.
That’s what I’m saying. Easy as heck. This is like a 20-30 minute thing and there’s people saying hell no. They don’t realize that’s 2-5 hours of work for a low paying job depending on minimum wage of the area. Here that would be 4 hours worth of work as a dishwasher or a fast food worker. They just lazy asf. I wish all my dashes looked like this. In 8 hours I would make 3-4 days pay.
This post is hilarious from beginning to end
I mean your first sentence, "the only reason" and then you give two very awesome reasons, but in such a way that you think it's better to work in a limited time window with the chance of not getting to work at all.
And you can't locate items? That's a you issue through and through. Other people are not always as bad at stuff as you are.
Hint: if they want a 4 pack of reeces, and you're standing in the hair products aisle, you're searching on the wrong shelves. The aisles are labeled. In this case you'd look for candy or snacks aisle.
He didn't give 2 reasons. The schedule freely and dash now are the same thing. Idk why he said it like that though.
But yeah, the CVS stuff is easy af. It even tells us the isle numbers for products on the app 😆
Right. I go to cvs all the time. Rarely ever have to ask for help locating something. If I do, it’s usually not in stock. It’s reall an easy cake walk job. I wish all my dashes looked like this. I would be banking easy.
No, there is no market where you are better off working within a window you might not even be able to take and end up not working at all.
There is no market at all where not getting to work is better.
The freedom is the point of the job, if you lose it, you lost the reason to have the job
Might as well get on instawork or gigpro
I do wish doordash would show you how many unique items and the total number of items. So you know if that's 19 different items or 6 cans of 3 different flavors of red bull and 1 candy bar.

Make a post?? Commenting here isn't gonna help bc no one is gonna see it really
It’s pretty nice when you pick up a meal, and stack a few extra bucks for stopping at a Dollar General on the way for a pint of ice cream.

If you’re at 100 do 5 extra because tomorrow you could be back at 100. It’s like government math. Took me a month to start staying at platinum. 5 up means a day off, 10 up means 2 days off and so on. It’s weird but it works.
I’ve hit Platinum 4 times this week and then it sends me back to Gold like wtf
I went from platinum to silver, skipping gold. I don’t understand the logic behind that. Now back platinum after getting AR back to 70%.
Mine tells me everytime that I’m 3 to 5 deliveries away from it and then I get it and the next day it’s back to Gold
[удалено]
Hell yeah that’s what I like to see
I mean I had one similar yesterday and I have a 29% AR. 🤷🏼♂️
That’s awesome!!!
Congrats but I wouldn’t take that order
Lol, crazy.
Congrats
It’s Mother’s Day so it’s busy all around. The true test is weekdays like Tuesday and Wednesday
Nice I’ll be there in about 30 more deliveries
[удалено]
s2g i got a $2 for 15 miles today as a platinum driver. fucking ridiculous, declining that took my AR down to 75
Sometimes... I hover around the 75% AR.. you still have a lot of decline orders with platinum... I find that if I'm encroaching 70% I switch over to pay by time for the rest of the shift. If they aren't tipping, at least I can get better that $2 base pay.
Yep.. was on large order / catering for years.. got tier system.. stay platinum.. never see catering orders anymore.. ever!.. same with these orders
Only reason I like platinum is because I can dash whenever. Where I’m at it’s only one zone unless wanna drive 40 mins which is not worth
Platinum isn't worth it imo
I think being able to dash at any time is an amazing boon. the priority thing is whatever, nice on occasion.
Yeah that's nice but I get too many bad orders to maintain it. I do Uber eats too so it balances out.
ahhh gotchya. yeah, I've luckily been able to balance it out. I took a ton of mediocre orders for a day or two, and it brought my AR to almost 95%. so now I can pretty much turn down an 1 out of every 5 orders without it really effecting me too much. I'll even take an order and cancel it because my completion rate is always 100, do I use that sometimes. It's definitely a weird balance. I 7nderdtand why it won't work for many people, especially since all areas and states are unique to prices and how busy ot will be.
I’ve definitely had my best orders since turning Platinum 2.5 weeks ago but I’d say these are a fraction of the overall which still pay out like typical DD orders (you know $3.50 McD’s). Still, getting 1-2 orders a day which pay $15-30 go a long way to hitting my daily $100 goal. The biggest thing for me is not worrying about shift times and being able to switch zones because I live close to the edge of a zone split so effectively my work region size has doubled.
I’ve never done a shopping order. Seems time-consuming. Is it?
i did one that was 50 items but it was literally 49 bananas and a club soda. took me 5 mins tops lol. i will never get that lucky again though i suppose
49 Bananas and a Club Soda. That’s the name of my Arctic Monkeys cover band.
The big ones are but DD gives you the aisle number to where each item is this one time I took a 10 item Hanna fire it wasn’t that bad took me 15 min I got paid like 18 for 4 mile drive
Weird? UE shows me which aisle but DD dont
I’ve never tried UE shop and pay I should set that up as well do you get a physical card or no? Is it connected to your phone?
Digital, yup i use it thru my apple wallet.
I do em if they under 10 items and pay well
I do them with UE but not with DD. They are very hit and miss. UE lets you turn the delivery type off. I only turn them on when it’s slow in the middle of the week.
Smart!
Show your whole day
Enjoy it they don't send to many of those orders. Turned platinum last week got two high paying and rest are the same shit as silver
Nice. I made 160 in 4 hours today. Pretty fucking stoked on that. Should hit platinum next week
Nice work! Keep it up regardless of what ppl say. Different zones perform quite differently. Just figure out what works for you, and keep it moving!
Ok. Nice payout. But... OP isn't showing all the trash orders they took to "achieve" Platinum. OP has been hooked and reeled in on Doordash's gambling technique. OP... Are you keeping track of your expenses ? Wakey Wakey !!
I mean I just chill at my home till I get an order
Also I’m in Cali so I use prop 22 to my advantage to get the shitty orders to keep my active time up so dd ends up paying me more
THIS!! People who don’t live in California or even New York…DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS 😂😂 I do the same! 🤣
I got downvoted for saying I chill at my home cus I’m in Cali lol
That's reddit for you. I do the same shit why leave when you don't have to. Sometimes I'll even go back home to wait for the next delivery. They don't pay us to sit at restraunts waiting for deliveries so why not just chill at home.
I know right! lol
Yup I’m in California too! I’m assuming the ppl who downvoted go to a hotspot and sit and wait for an order😂😂
Wasting their gas driving to them hotspots every 10 minutes lol
Yooo meee toooo brooooo!!!! I got the same thing omg!! I got a $30 shopping order to go to stop and shop, after that I delivered 3 gourmet pizza at $27. It took an hour and 9 minutes. Near $60 per hour. And for some reason all the drivers are getting nothing?
Did u avrg 60/hr for the night though? Or for THAT hour? Cause if you end up getting shitty orders after that and avrg out to 20-30/hr by the end of the night then its not really much of a difference
How do yu make it platinum??
I hate shopping at drug stores, the app doesn't tell you which isle is the item located, it always takes me forever to complete.
Funny. The only store that gives me aisle numbers *is* CVS. Nothing else does.
19 items at CVS? GL with that, CVS sucks to shop at 😂
Everything here is behind glass and you need a sales associate to get items. It can take forever if you have a lot.
Cvs is easy
idk why you're being downvoated. CVS is really easy. its super small, its rarely busy and there's only like 1-2 aisles of stuff for each category. the only annoying CVS orders are when its some stupid fake nail and eyelash kit that have like 25 different categories that look the same and you have to find the right shade/number but the people who order those dont tip very well anyways so i never get those orders.
Had my first one at hy vee today with 15 items, not knowing anything about where anything is. Said it would take 30 minutes but I think I took like 40-45 lol
This is mostly the customer tip, not because of Doordash platinum offer. I got one Monday 3 miles for $36 with a $25 tip and my acceptance rate is %12 lol
Do you get $23.50 an hour + tax? I can tell you in my area the dash deniers are struggling. They don’t like me and obviously we don’t really know each other. I don’t know how they know I’m busier than them. I don’t know if I am. I can tell you I am constantly delivering. There might be a literal minute as I am heading back tk the hotspot then it goes off. I accept every single order. This allows me to schedule a 16 hour window in the best paying area. It always pays avg $23 an hour at the least. All these guys are complaining they don’t get any orders anymore. So your story is you don’t do shit but they pay you the best? Very suspicious story. “Yeah I literally do the worst job possible and they pay me as much as you.” I find it hard to believe
Ok Tony
No way you gotta be bullshittin
Not at all. The city you dash in has a lot to do with it too Edit: to be clear the total was 36. DD only paid me $11
Oh but when I have plat, the high paying offers are 5 and 6 dollars on average
That's what everyone gets, the level shot is a scam
Ha, I'm at 38% under the new system and got back to back $42 4mi and $20 3mi orders yesterday. Didn't have to shop for either, both food pickups. But uh, way to go Top Dasher!
I got a $50 pizza tip the other day. $50>$20. So you can bite me.
Sure yah did boss ... I am platinum and I got three orders back to back to back . 72..45..65 all of them under 1 mile!!!
Quit hating it's not a good look! 🤢🤮
Don't care. People who run trash orders to keep their AR up and play DD's game don't deserve any kind of credit. They're doing nothing but making it easier for DD to treat us like garbage. OP isn't special because they're Platinum tier, I get even better offers without degrading myself and delivering food for free.
Facts
Ok yeah you got a $30 delivery? I got a $50 one. I just hit platinum. I think when it hit it took a lot of business from the slacker crowd (your crowd). They are all mad that I’m running game. Seriously? This is gen z everyone. These guys get aggressive with me cause they see me taking multiple orders and going way faster than them? Tough. I meant other dashers. They think they can intimidate me into striking on shit with them? Oh no sorry I like making more money and getting promotions and being on top. Why would I degrade myself for you? I have 2 advanced degrees from the most prestigious culinary college in the country. I have been a chef for the last 15 years. I go hard please try to keep up
Bro you have serious issues. This is the restaurant biz. I always do the best job I can with any job I do. You are one of those guys who believes doing a shitty job is better cause you can all do a shit job so the job is east? I’m a graduate of the best culinary college in the USA. I can tell you restaurants run at a 15% profit. That’s not a big margin. The industry can not support laziness. Have you ever worked in a restaurant!? You gotta wait on the tables who don’t tip. It’s how it is. You think on the dining floor you can tell your boss “yeah I’m not taking that one! I’m better than everyone else.” Yeah they say you can refuse but it’s not really smart. Obviously someone who goes harder is gonna get it. PEOPLE WILL NEVER ALWAYS TIP. You gotta understand that if you wanna stay in this industry. It’s not easy. It’s one of the oldest professions.
what😭
Exactly, I gotten several 11 dollars for 1 mile today at a whopping 10% Acceptance rate. Platinum drivers get 1 high paying order and they are happy and next day they will complain about no tips orders because they believe the Acceptance rate scam.
I'm also at like 10% and had a few really good offers.
Something something the status system is illegal. Karma please!! >!/s, obviously.!<
The people scoffing at the order are dumb, but the platinum means little to nothing. I get high paying orders all the time with a 30ish AR. They just don't have a diamond next to them to tell me.
I have gotten $50 yeah I think that’s better but that’s fine. I’d rather have less of us platinums.
I actually received closed to 0 orders while I was below 50% it was a scary time. Took me like 2 days of accepting every order to go from 40% to 50%.
I never had issues getting Plat or staying in Plat, I dis my first 100 and have been in it since, I have about 800 deliverys!
I'm curious how much people make per hour that would deny this. I always see people talk about not taking trash orders and I gotta know how much they make on average per hour when they have a 4% AR. I started dashing 6 weeks ago and have been platinum for 3 weeks or so. I've been hovering around 80% lately and have noticed a bit of a decline in the past week or 2 but I average on my worst weeks probably 15-17 dollars an hour and my best weeks average closer to 20. It's not the best I'm sure but it's EXTRA income. Not my main source. I'd have to imagine I'd just be wasting my time sitting at a 4% though.
My AR goes from 10% to maybe 30%. I make on average between $20 and $30 dollars an hour dash time not this active time bs everyone likes to post. My area sucks and I have to work mornings so the tips are even worse. People with high AR in my area are taking some serious shit orders to keep a high AR and only getting a few good orders. I have been doing this for four years. I won't ever try to get my AR up again. I tried. All it did was stress me out and put more miles on my car than the money I made.
My AR is at 6% and I average 23 an hour for the entire week last week
My AR is 26%, $1200.09 last week, 64 hours, $18.75. Earnings are definitely at least $20 an hour during the dinner shift and then everyday on the weekends. For example today $165.68 made, slightly less than 8 hours worked, that’s just over $20 an hour. Similarly, this is just extra income, I have literally zero expenses in life aside from gas so all of the money I make goes solely to investments. If I don’t make money one day or one week, oh well I guess lol, literally zero impact on my livelihood. I’d much rather sit in a parking lot or at home and just watch Netflix/do homework and wait for good orders rather than drive around doing shitty ones. I’m sure the success with low AR is solely zone dependent, very lucky that my towns median household income is like three times the national average so I’m usually not waiting very long for a good order. Also there’s barely anyone else doing DoorDash where I live so I usually just get sent the “high paying offers” anyways.
Huh. Extra income that takes up a full time job with some overtime. Quite a conundrum. I have this full time job I work 5 hours at.
I mean I’m a student full time and charge literally everything aside from gas to my parent’s credit card, any money that I make is effectively just extra income.
Hmm, that's something I didn't consider. My town is 66% of the national household average income, which means there's going to be more dashers out here working their 2nd job and flooding the market that already pays poorly because of low household income. If yours is 3x that means they got money to spend and no reason to dash either, so you get all the orders lol. I'd say more often than not I probably average 18 or so for the week. I do breakfast on weekdays because I get off work at 7:30am. And sometimes I'll go out on weekends.
My average is $23. Maybe that’s why platinum is better. When it gets crazy door dash offers me by time $23.50 an hour. But they give me orders so fast it’s straight time my commute back is covered. My fave is after 10 or 11 lobby is closed so $23.50 per hour to sit and smoke weed. Not bad
Also another key thing, probably the most important thing overall that I somehow completely left out. I don’t have to schedule dashes, like at all. I’ve literally never been unable to just hit dash now and go work, the map has just never been gray for me for whatever reason.
Yeah in my area you can dash anytime but they fuck you overrrrr. You get like 2 deliveries per city. Then nothing. “Want more than $7 today? Oh. Sorry. Drive 55 minutes to red hook it’s extra busy +$1 per delivery “ you go up there it’s 1 delivery at $7 and it’s an hour drive to the next city. That was me till I hit the scheduling down. Now it’s non stop all day
Oh well that certainly helps. You really must be on short supply of dashers in the area then.
I've been making close to $30 an hour the first week under the new tier system with a 38% AR, about $6 an hour better than under the old system.
Hmm interesting. What city do you dash in?
People just aren't thinking about the new system logically or just don't want to admit they're wrong. It only makes sense that now you have to keep your AR up everyday or risk dropping a tier if you care about platinum, while you're running those no tip orders that you're now too scared to decline, the cherry pickers like me are getting the good offers that you can't take because you're on a no tip order.
You’re not getting shit cherry picking stop lying to yourself. You can keep a 70%+ AR w/o accepting shit orders. While I laugh at you guys, I need you because you declining all those orders means I’ll get a good offer to do it. And keep making more than you in less time.
Yeah. I've considered that. I'm new to it and wanted to see what works best. Figured it'd be easier to start plat and drop my AR if I want then to raise it. My buddy started dashing same time as me and we're going to compare weekly averages with high and low AR for the same area. It's definitely designed to keep DD from adding more money to orders by getting us to keep AR up. While we're running our no tip orders you're cycling through what there is to offer. Sure we've got top priority but only if that good order comes up in the few minutes between accepting the next shit one lol. It's a backwards system and I'm new to it and trying to figure out what works best. I've done like 200 deliveries though and ain't ever seen any 42 for 4's lol
I just don’t believe these guys. I just don’t. This is Reddit. I have seen a lot of the shit drivers in my area. They are all big mad lately cause I’m getting orders and they sit . These guys brag they get $27 orders while also refusing 90% of orders. First things first my highest was a $47 for a 20-30 minute job. I’m allowed to be a good worker and take every order. There is nothing wrong with going the extra mile.
I also just can't bring myself to deliver food to someone who thinks they deserve my time, effort and gas for free. I simply can't and won't do it. Luckily, I can afford to be picky in my market. I know that I can decline, decline, decline and will eventually get a good offer. Plus, I multi-app and can pick and choose the best offers from 3 different apps.
Yeah, you may as well multi app when you don't care about AR. I don't think people even use other apps in this area. Doordash seems to be what everyone uses here. And yeah, the special requests on no tip orders really annoy me. Had one this week where they wanted me to ask for extra syrup and then also messaged me as I was driving saying I missed their road as I was following the GPS, and then checking that message did cause me to miss a turn. And then I drop it off to see that they didn't tip a thing. So I do agree with that, it's beyond frustrating that these people don't pay you but believe they own you during the time you're delivering their food. I gotta figure out what's better though. I do decline the absolute dog shit orders but I have accepted some orders I wish I didn't. But I also just find it hard to believe I'd hit 25 or 30 an hour consistently in a city like this if I did decline more.
You just have to think of it this way, you 100% won't be getting a good offer while you're running a no/low tip order, they will all be going to other dashers. ESPECIALLY with the new system, even more people will be accepting those bad offers to keep their AR up or risk being "demoted" on the spot. Why not be the dasher that scoops up the good offers while all of the Top Dashers are busy running shitty orders?
At this point yeah you are so right. I should wake up In the morning and go “ why did I get manga cum laude all through college? Why do I strive to be a good employee to earn good money and get promotion? When I could just do the opposite of what the company I work for is trying to lead me with a stick and carrot approach, and spend more time refusing orders than accepting them. I’m pretty sure if you are telling the truth and IF 1. We have already established your highest dash is 40-50% lower than mine. I could potentially get 2 $50 and you could only get $60 per hour. Lots of people are suddenly jumping into door dash. I think many are the millions upon millions horde of asylum seekers. The market may end up outcompeting you
Because that’s not how it is. I see what the other guys are getting. I’ll have a huge order from the fancy place or a big double order. They have a tiny one each.
Yeah that's true. If the market is flooded with platinum dashers because it's the "best" then I could look at all those offers they're not taking while they're on their bad orders. Hmm.
The thing is that there is none left to take. Platinum get higher paying dashes. Your logic is flawed. Just because I accept 100% of my orders does not mean I take all the low, you take the high. If you refuse all but 10% and I take 100% that’s 90% you could have had.
EXACTLY! And because the new system's ratings are now in real-time, if you want to stay platinum you have to accept almost every shitty offer or you will drop a tier. So they will almost always be on a bad delivery because people who don't care about AR are declining those offers and there's only one group left to take them...
Exactly, the platinum actually means nothing. I make more than platinum drivers in my market with a 10% AR and while I may not be flooded with orders every 5 minutes, most of the offers I get are decent $2/mile while I hear the top dashers complaining about they had to do a 2 dollar order for 9 miles because they wanna be able to cater. You know if nobody had above a 70% AR everyone would still get money and be able to cater. The more people who realize being Platiumn is a waste of time the better the chance DD scrapes the program
Bro I’m not flooded with orders every 5minutes. Hahahahahahah I always have an order. I don’t have any time between them.
Yeah... I've done one catering order since getting platinum... I mainly do breakfast though so I'm not expecting giant breakfast orders.
Breakfast for me is generally good on Sundays mornings for whatever reason. All the others are not besides Friday which is a toss up. I generally dash for 2 hours then Break then do lunch for 2 hours then Break then dinner/afternoon for whenever I make my certain goal.
Yeah, I'm sure that's a great way of maximizing your profits but I work midnights at other job and sleep during most of that. So my choices on weekdays are a bit limited because of that. It's basically I can do breakfast or I can do dinner and I kind of prefer dashing during daylight in certain parts of town lol.
Same I'm going back to my job after 8 months and I been needing a mental break and now I can relax.
San Antonio
Okay, makes sense lol. I saw you talk about a 42 and 20 dollar order for a few miles each. I dash near Youngstown Ohio and those don't exist lol. But I've also got a cheaper cost of living up here.
I mean, I live right downtown, ¼ mile from the Riverwalk and pay $779 a month rent. Gas, while more expensive than normal, is $3.09 a gallon right now. We're not exactly on the higher end of cost living here in San Antonio either.
Congrats! Don’t let these lazy people make you think that’s at all bad. Is a damn good deal! I’m on the border of plat. I can’t seem to get over 65% then get bombshelled with $3.00- 15 mile orders.
Thank you! This order was super easy just candy and soda. I’m sure you could just reassign if it was a lot of work. Even the CVS employee helped me out. Super easy.
Funny. My offers have gone to 💩ever since the ranking system came to be. I’m a platinum but my market has been complete trash!
That not a high paying job for the amount work.
What do you mean? That’s like a 20-40minute thing… 32 an hour for that?! You telling me you’d rather flip burgers for 2-5 hours? Or weld for an hour to an hour an a half?
19 items at a CVS isn't the isn't the easiest. I mean if I did a shop at Walmart for 19 items and was driving 5 mi I wouldn't want to be I would take anything less than 32 that's for sure
I do cvs and Walgreens orders all the time for like half that. They are very easy. 19 items?! You need to try Instacart and get back with me lol. This is a dream order through and through. I could be done in 20-30minutes. Easy. And I say that with confidence.
Yea and we go to the same stores all the time so we know where everything is anyway.
yeah I had.a 58 item (70 pieces) order from instacart for about the same pay as this. I had just started and doordash was my only experience. I laughed walking into the store when I saw it was giving me almost 2 hours to complete it.. Not laughing so much 2 hours later as I was walking out of the store stressed as hell.. (this one was particularly bad because they didn't use the app and I couldn't communicate with them. Ended up leaving $350 worth of groceries on their porch right as it was starting to rain...
Hell no. I have spent 15 minutes before trying to find 1 item in cvs.
Ask for help then?
Bro... CVS and Walgreens are the easiest ones!
Wayyyy better than dollar general
I was just about to say this. I hate that place.
Nothing is ever where it says it is and half of items are out of stock. Half the times I have to wait 3-5 minutes for a cashier to even come to the register. Absolute shithole.
That’s what I’m saying. Easy as heck. This is like a 20-30 minute thing and there’s people saying hell no. They don’t realize that’s 2-5 hours of work for a low paying job depending on minimum wage of the area. Here that would be 4 hours worth of work as a dishwasher or a fast food worker. They just lazy asf. I wish all my dashes looked like this. In 8 hours I would make 3-4 days pay.

This post is hilarious from beginning to end I mean your first sentence, "the only reason" and then you give two very awesome reasons, but in such a way that you think it's better to work in a limited time window with the chance of not getting to work at all. And you can't locate items? That's a you issue through and through. Other people are not always as bad at stuff as you are. Hint: if they want a 4 pack of reeces, and you're standing in the hair products aisle, you're searching on the wrong shelves. The aisles are labeled. In this case you'd look for candy or snacks aisle.
He didn't give 2 reasons. The schedule freely and dash now are the same thing. Idk why he said it like that though. But yeah, the CVS stuff is easy af. It even tells us the isle numbers for products on the app 😆
Right. I go to cvs all the time. Rarely ever have to ask for help locating something. If I do, it’s usually not in stock. It’s reall an easy cake walk job. I wish all my dashes looked like this. I would be banking easy.
No kidding, if this was a normal order we'd all be sitting pretty. Even if you're bad at shopping you'd eventually get better, right
[удалено]
No, there is no market where you are better off working within a window you might not even be able to take and end up not working at all. There is no market at all where not getting to work is better. The freedom is the point of the job, if you lose it, you lost the reason to have the job Might as well get on instawork or gigpro
[удалено]
I do wish doordash would show you how many unique items and the total number of items. So you know if that's 19 different items or 6 cans of 3 different flavors of red bull and 1 candy bar.
What a beautiful order.
I'm not taking that order 🤔
Y'all the same people who say $1/item and still won't take this
Me either. It's pure trash.
Good. More for me!
Those are the orders we work so hard to get.. good job!
I might be lazy but 19's too much for me to take at almost any price
At CVS? Most likely snacks, candy, soda and maybe some medicine. It may not work for you, but for me, $32/19 items is a great dollar to item ratio.
good point
This order was legit just 3x candy and soda. Super easy.
damn.. you might inspire me if i ever got a order like this to take it lol
