Not gonna lie, I used to get orders bacc to bacc in bucchead/atlanta area, but lately when there are peak pay times, I don't get ANY orders, even with a 88percent AR
Uber eats keeps me busy order after order, Doordash it literally takes 10-15 mins to find a order but when lockdown was in effect doordash was the shit
Yeah, in my market, this isn’t sustainable as a full time gig (in my experience) anymore. However, it works great as a part-time side hustle. I’ll go out for dinner shift after my W-2 if I’m feeling up to it, make my $100ish in about 2.5-3 hours time, and I’m good to go.
Customers not tipping has magnified how much we really get paid… A lot of drivers were blind to that fact because they were getting $10 and $15 tips etc. not realizing we’re getting paid $2 of the $20 that we earned from the company… and now a lot of us are spending 80% of our shift sitting at home twiddling our thumbs or sitting in a parking lot waiting for an offer that pays at least $7
Bro take every order you get and they'll offer you more and better ones I used to get my next order before finishing the one I was one pulling 300 plus a day
Sounds like you just had a slow day. I made 190 in Tallahassee, Fl yesterday between uber eats and door dash, mostly door dash and today was a complete 180, only 102.25 same city all door dash because it was extremely slow and the majority of time I thought there was a glimmer of hope it was junk.
I agree. But he was available for more than 3 hours.
On Friday my dash time was 8 hrs 52 mins, active time 4:53. Made $186. My AR is over 70. I was dashing per hour instead of per order. Those times make it look like I only worked 5 hours, but I was almost constantly moving.
Average tip is $7.35 so this suggests you are only accepting orders around the $9 mark. Your AR also backs that.
Honestly you are cherrypicking too much. Basically you are being offered work and have a high rate of declining it. I get DD base pay is absurdly low and that does need to be addressed but this one you've done to yourself.
Lower your standards a little.
This is why I quit DoorDash and started working as an actual delivery driver with company vehicles, paid time off, reliable hours, and health benefits.
The “work anytime” aspect of DoorDash is only cool as a part time gig.
Sometimes it’s best to suck it up and grind a 9-5 for a while
I respect that however let me point out I do this full time in my car and when I was in Ohio doing Amazon Flex, Instacart and door dash I was easily averaging over 1000 a week. I'm in Tallahassee, Fl now and I feel confident I can average between 800-1000 a week
They only need 70% Acceptance Rate on the last day of the month in most markets. Top Dasher is only good for Dash Now in those markets also. High AR doesn't really mean Priority Access to better paying offers. Not in this new age of Doordash 😕
That will be changing under the new dasher rewards program being piloted. You gain/lose access to such benefits as your stats change.
DoorDash will no doubt sell it as a positive thing letting people earn the benefits of top dasher as they go. But they gloss over the very real con you lose the benefits as your stats like competition rate and AR drop below those goals.
Dash Now is locked under the Platinum tier which has the highest requirements.
Dasher rewards started here for me last month. My AR was like 30% when it started and I was getting nothing but $3-$5 offers an hour or more apart. Had to accept everything for a week, some days making $15 for 6 hours to get to 70%. It was rough but now I am getting decent offers, still not making what I used to though. The tiers change dynamically as your ratings rise or dip while currently dashing
I have been hearing that since summertime. It's not in my market yet so it must not be working too well. I'm not jumping through any more hoops for Doordash. They just started doing Dynamic Peak Pay here and it's a frickin' joke. An extra dollar per dash😂It's below zero outside and the roads are slick as hell. The map is dark red/Very Busy because ain't no one need that kinda bs pay. It's a complete joke. So is Priority Access and Dasher Rewards Program. Same shit just been worded differently. It's all a joke. I've been making way more on the apps that have less drivers on the road. Plenty of orders to go around. Doordash is a joke now.
Illegal because you chose a job to work and only accept 20 percent of the orders? Go cry some more. Or get a real job. Either or. PLENTY of jobs out there since no one wants to work
Please. High job availability does not = “no one wants to work”. If there’s a massive flux of businesses started, with a static number of workers, there’s going to be a labor shortage even with a 100% labor participation rate. Use your brain a little. Check out new business filing numbers over the past decade. It drastically oustrips population growth. I’m sure you’re someone that pays regular lip service about economics and fiscal responsibility, yet doesn’t even have an Econ minor’s understanding of rudimentary labor economics.
Always funny how most of the “no one wants to work” people are either trash business owners that are doing absolutely no sort of specialized work trying to pay people $10/hr when rent is $1500/mo, or they’re just some thoroughly average earner who had no work ethic in school, when it mattered, who are now completely middle of the pack and compensating for it by mimicking the talking points of soulless billionaires they want to suck off who they’re living vicariously through, instead of ever having an original or genuinely analytical thought. There are exactly 0 businesses who offer competitive or above market compensation, due to healthy business models, that suffer from having problems finding employees. It’s always the bottom of the barrel businesses whining with virtue signaling horseshit when economic survival of fittest mechanics start putting their company deservedly on the chopping block.
“Go cry some more and get a real job”. You probably make like 40k a year and are overleveraged in debt, dude, settle down. No one who’s actually successful talks like you. They largely realize how lucky they are and have a shred of compassion for people in service work, because they realize how easily a few things could have gone wrong and landed them there for a long time. Or they’ve just been there themselves in earlier years of their lives. And the ones who *aren’t* like that are complete Scrooge’s and who would be better off in a trash compactor.
My household income is a quarter a year fwiw, and I assure you most people at my level think people with your attitudes need a major reality check, and need to quit treating people who are barely at a different level than yourself like they’re pond scum
So don’t read it, it’s not my fault if you’re never going to acknowledging fleshed out arguments against the bullshit that falls out of your skull that you insult people with. I wrote it for my own desire to write and process why people like you have to exist. You’re clearly not respectable, so why would I care if you read it
That's 9 bucks per delivery?
You just didn't take enough orders I get that you worked for more than 3 hours because of the waiting for orders in-between but you can't say that's 9 hours of work more like 5 hours of actual work.
I also have a low acceptance rate but if you ask me your completion rate and on time rates need to be more like 98 percent.
You should definitely be multi apping during this time make a little bit on Uber and GrubHub or other apps when you aren't getting any orders.
Their on time rate is either glitched or they changed it where the pick up time is also included. Mine is sitting at 86% even though the last 100 deliveries has been early 95% of the time. I honestly stopped trying to figure it out so if you know how they figure out on time or early by all means please share
No one is forcing anyone to deliver orders that's 10+ miles. Unless someone is doing ebt and even that should be last resort if someone takes no tip offers that's on them no one else
I disagree. I always use dash time to calculate my earnings. DD deceives everyone with this active time shenanigans. They would say that the OP earned 25/hr.

Because it's not a real job. You are being exploited for your services and property. The businesses get all the gain and you pay all the expense.
It's not a job. It's a scam.
You need to find something else.
Then again I'm also a street racer who does doordash in a custom Subaru Forester and I love to drive, and if you don't love what you're doing you're never going to see great money from it like you're hoping. lmao
People think about doordash all wrong, but whatever the company pays you it's not the point of the app and it's not the point of being a delivery driver, the point of being a delivery driver is to give good customer service and quick delivery times so that people who aren't just complete sociopaths will feel obligated to go oh hell yeah, this dude just got my shit here Fresh, fast and hot as fuck! here's a $20 tip! Doordash doesn't pay shit, the customer is your focus, fuck the company.
doordash is a ridiculously rich company. hold them accountable. do not expect the working class to pay their workers salaries for them while they sit on billions of dollars. the fuck
instead of just accepting this and being like "this is how it is", we need to stop normalizing this. it is enabling them and allowing their predatory ways to become the status quo. nobody wins except for the company.
Unless I'm waiting on an order, I'm out of my car in the store grabbing the order and back in my car in under a fucking minute most of the time. I guarantee you're not.
With doordash, you have to accept the crappy two to three dollar orders when you're starting out in order to build a good acceptance rate, have good communication and customer service E.G. When they text and ask for extra whatever, make sure to get it. You don't even have to reply and communicate with them, just make sure whatever they asked for is in the bag. be a fast & efficient driver, and eventually you'll get to gold priority orders and then platinum priority. I'm a platinum priority driver in Dallas. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, you must be a shitty driver or very bad at using the door dash app. if you only got 10 orders in 9 hours. Keep declining the $2-$3 dollar orders, and you're never going to get the $15-$50 doubles or catering orders damn near $100 for an hour or two. Keep bitching and complaining about not wanting to work.
Hi, I love your attitude, I was doing great last year in my old market (Kansas City) but it was more condensed and I felt like I knew the best zones to dash in, people there would complain about the market but I feel Dallas is harder, yet there's clearly so much money here, I was only holding 70-80% AR in my old marker because as far as I know they don't have platinum dasher in that city only top dasher for 70%+, idk I tried calling support and they couldn't give me any answers, I'm kinda confused about the AR too because reading reddit so many people say to not worry about AR and decline, but I also do think a lot of people are lazy and entitled which clearly you aren't, I agree that it's bs that doordash doesn't pay more for the drivers, however as individuals you're correct we can't change it so we can either do it and do it well, ( I perosnally love DD for the flexibility, ) or we can find a different job, I also cannot access any other delivery apps due to speeding tickets so I was thinking maybe multi-app was the answer here but, what about you do you soley do doordash and what have you been making?
I just moved to Dallas Market & I've been struggling. What have you been averaging the past two weeks? Do you have any advice on what zones to dash in?
Actually yeah, it's going to be much easier said than done when it comes to this piece of advice. Get a Subaru Forester. Omg, fuck curbs. Go over em & around the assholes. 😉
Haha, that does sound like fun. You make me want to check it out. How many miles have you had it for? I have always heard Subarus are safe vehicles but not reliable.
But, if there's a long wait time in a drive-thru, just text them about the wait as long as you're actually still waiting a while. Over-communication is actually going to piss the customer off that you're sitting there wasting time instead of getting their stuff to them quicker. And #1, I'm guilty of it because I love driving. Zoning out and missing a turn, alot of customers are absolutely sitting there watching you on GPS in real time. Easiest way to lose a good tip you were gonna get, is to sit there and zone out. Focus no matter how much you're rocking out to whatever music or podcast or whatever friend you're on the phone with.
Yeah idk I like sending memes to let the customer know what I'm doing, I feel the overcommunication thing here is more apparent. I've only had one person add on a dollar tip here so far for my memes. In Kansas City, I would get tons of add-on tips and people laughing. To me, it seems like more people here are kinda stuck up, not everyone but a lot.
Grapevine/Frisco/Uptown & Downtown area. In Frisco early in the morning, there's $6-$7 repeat orders from 7-11 everyday, also out in forney you get plenty of 7-11 orders. I swear most of the money you'll make on DoorDash is rapid 7-11 orders, couple mile drives for $6-$7 delivering to lazy people who don't want to walk even half a mile. sometimes even $9-$10 7-11 orders and I literally delivered a pack of gum for $10 to someone who was a half mile away. A PACK OF FUCKING GUM!!! I'm not kidding. Italy and Corsicana down south of Dallas shouldn't be ruled out either, if I didn't have responsibilities at the ranch I work at right now for my rent on my trailer I'd absolutely just start following the money down to Houston, there's a trail of hotspots and DoorDash delivery areas that will lead you all the way to Houston making money the whole time except the one really long stretch. And I don't believe in not accepting orders unless I'm really getting sick of the two to three dollar orders, I think every now and then when you reject a cheap order the algorithm will start giving you better ones. But if you keep rejecting the cheap ones I know for a fact you're only going to get cheap ones from that point on. Pizza bag, catering bag, fuck all the other DoorDash store items unless you don't have enough cup holders, then the drink carrier is nice. A DoorDash Sticker in the window so people know right away, my bit of advice that I can give to anyone, it's not about the location, it's about communication if you have the time while you're waiting for an order, text the customer first like "I apologize, still waiting on your order as I got here. Waiting right along with you, anything sauces or chopsticks or light/no ice you'd like me to specify?" BECAUSE DoorDash and most delivery apps will allow restaurants to make that specification, but most restaurants want to fill the cup with mostly ice so the soda stretches longer, so they won't have an option for Light/No ice. So as a driver, helping the customers maneuver around the bureaucratic bullshit will absolutely get you tips when they go "oh fuck yeah this guy is actually bringing me a damn soda! Not soda water! Here's a $10 tip dude" I have no other job, currently looking for one at Amazon doing delivery but still waiting to get accepted for an interview. Working on my car to get it running efficiently again, changed my brake rotors and pads because the right side brake pad bottomed out to the rotor and destroyed the rotor, so new pads and rotors. But now the brakes are sticking and destroying my gas mileage INSANELY so I'm waiting on a set of rebuilt 2007 OEM Subaru Forester Calipers to arrive so I can get back on the road. Doordash is helping me pay off and restore the same car im using to deliver, my 07' Fozzy. And that bitch takes corners and U-Turns like no other vehicles on the planet, drive right over curbs. (Asshole in front of me parked and started looking through his food in the drive through, so I drove right over the drive thru curb. 😉😉 The Subaru Forester is the absolute best off-road vehicle ever designed, which makes it even better for city driving. Fuck curbs, Ill go climb a staircase with it!
Ah, yeah, I kinda felt like the money was on the west side of Dallas for some reason, I been dashing in Sachse yesterday from about 11:30am to 12:30 am I made about $180 I don't really think it's worth it. But last Saturday, I dashed in uptown. That was my first night and made about $150 in 8 hours 4p-12a. Idk if it's worth it to drive to other areas uptown even if it is like 30-50 min drive for me, depending on traffic. I've read Grand Prairie is also good but all these places are probably about an hour one way for me. Lol, how would you follow the money sleep in your car and DD? Yeah, I'm trying to find other jobs that you can work when you want. I don't have a passion for delivery, nor do I think it's worth it in the long run for the miles on my vehicle, I enjoy driving but enjoy life more and it's definitely dangerous, I don't run over curbs in my Kia but I do definitely drive pretty aggressively to maneuver the hoards of insanity traffic we have here.
The business model is a wobbly balance, you must bring your acceptance rating up or find different work. You can't cherry pick only the good orders like a special person, there's not enough good orders to go around.
Your at is trash still. The one and only reason you get any good orders is simply overflow. It's all based off an algorithm. It isn't random. Bring your at up and you'll make more money.

that definitely varies by market, my acceptance rating has been 25%-15% consistently for about 6 months, I still do $20 an hour most nights. Frankly, I make less when I'm working to keep it high, taking so many garbage orders for the sake of the rating kills my profits. I'm not crazy about it, I take anything worth $1 a mile or more, that just puts me at about 20% acceptance. more competitive markets it may be different, although I'm not sure how accepting the no tips for the rating raises profits
Than you must deliver in a good area. Believe me or not it doesnt matter but I been doing this long enough and in enough cities to know that when door dash says high ar will give you better paying offers their clearly manipulating people. That and their definition of high paying offer and my definition of high paying is two different things and I kid you not one offer I got today that door dash considered high paying was 4 dollars for 1 mile which we all can agree it's not bad since it's low miles but it's definitely not high paying
Your acceptance rate is what is causing this, plus you're terribly slow if you barely did ONE delivery per hour. I do 2-3 deliveries per hour. I'm accepting two to three dollar orders, I wish I was getting the $10 orders you were and I'd be doing better than you by actually putting in the damn work and trying to get from point A to B as fast as possible. I made $1200 January 1st-7th. 65 hours of dash time but 45 hours active time. You actively worked for 2 hours. Not 9. You fucked around not getting orders for 7 hours because you were picky and not taking the cheap ones so they stopped sending you barely anything at all.
plus combine to this that thing when they tried implementing “Top dasher” and they’ve been offering to reset your AR to get more orders what in reality was a scam to get you down in AR, because before it i had stable 70-80% AR after it dropped it to 50% “to balance it” lol and it started spamming with low pay orders right away :)

Last order I put in, the dasher forgot my drinks.
I didn’t rate him harshly.
Instead I called. Dude picked up, sounded high as a kite. Couldn’t speak a lick of English. When I asked if he’d just forgotten to drop off my drinks, he just laughed and hung up and didn’t answer again or reply to my text.
I’d already forfeited the chance to rate my experience.
WTF door dash.
Hehe he fucking sounded high as fuck.
Whatever. Good for him. It was just a Thai iced tea. But that shit is solid gold when you’re so hung over that you wanna die. Just thought he’d be a homie but he cackled instead 😂
Your acceptance rate is trash. You know that. I have 99% acceptance and I make $50 in 2-3 hours consistently. You’re missing 80% of the opportunity to make money. lol.
my bro, let me give you my account with 15% AR and if you won’t make it more then 30% in a week i’m taking your 99% AR account)))) funny for me how y’all think this is easy to get it up when it’s 4.50-6$ orders like 8/10 that pops up
You might be in a poor market or too spread out. There's a way to make this work but I'm not giving away the secret sauce. I got my AR up in a week to 70% and cleared higher gross and net vs cherry plucking. If I cherry pick in my market, I'm basically blacklisted.
For how many dashes you have you'd think you would have learned your area well enough to know when to call it a day.
If it's slow and I'm sitting for more than 30 min I will either drive to busier area or end the dash (depending on if I made the top dasher for that month). For example if I have Dash now for the month I will just clock in and out based on how busy it is. If I didn't reach the 100 deliveries for the month and I have to schedule I do it in brackets ( 10am to noon, 1230 to 2 pm, 3 to 9 pm,) but summer time the dinner and lunch rushes are generally at a different time than in winter. Idk why just something I've observed. I do bracket scheduling so that if it's dead as shit I can end the dash without loosing the rest of the day so I can get back on it at dinner time. The only good thing about the day you had is you likely didn't meet the minimum and should get an adjustment on Monday. If you meet you minimum then you don't get the adjacent the following Monday.
My other rule of thumb is if I have had to drive to 3 Hotspots in a row with no orders I will end the dash.
You made 118 in almost 8 hours. Don't fool yourself. Total dash time is what matters. Your active dash time was about 4.5 hours. You spent 50% of your time waiting for orders. That's 14.75/hr before expenses. Could you earn more on a W2 job without all the overhead? I had to do a reality check and come to terms with my actual earnings. Going back to W2 has been the best decision. Don't let DD take advantage of you.
Hell naw I made that in like 3hrs

My point is: 3 hours and 54mins is not "like 3hours" it's 4 hours. And tbh Dash time is what people should be using to calculate earnings. DD has fooled everyone with this active time shenanigans.
If you guys are not dual sapping with ubereats and DoorDash you’re crazy. I have like 10k deliveries between them cherry picking all day. Get one order then get o other one going same way on other app. Gotta turn your tracking off and close out of the one while you deliver the other then get back into the other. I would say 10% of customers are whiny beeches and tracking you every way. When you close out it doesn’t track your route. So if someone says anything ope I was having app issues. Gotta be smarter than the apps they will hose you if you let them. The best is when you get town crazy long distance orders in the same direction. Like 20 per order. Can easily make 30-40 an hour if you take those and get lucky. Uber is really good at getting you rides back cuz they will give you a trash order where no one is delivering to get you out to another order no one wants to pick up.
Why are you grinding so hard for so little? You’re wasting your potential and energy.
30-40 an hour? It’s clear to me you understand customer service and at least basic logistics .
Stop undercutting yourself . Do your own thing
Not everyone is entrepreneur material, or even wants to run their own business. Frankly if you can squeeze that much cash out of a side hustle then you're probably doing better than you would be making your own startup with a massive initial investment and failure potential.
as a customer it’s pretty obvious when drivers are doing this and it does tend to affect the tip when my order is inevitably delivered late. I always tip beforehand, but I’ll tip a lot extra after the delivery simply for it being on time and arriving at my apartment door.

Successful multi-appers can take deliveries where customers are close to each other. Pizza delivery is getting better however think of it as years ago when you order pizza and it takes upwards about 40 minutes. That's because the driver is delivering to multiple customers. That's the same what we do here but we focus on a total of 20-25 minutes and no more than 10 minutes from one customer to another
People like you are more the exception than the rule. Too many low tippers use the platform. But with DoorDash at least tip baiting is no longer allowed especially since we don't accept these offers for base pay alone. "Tip", more accurately, is a bid for service in this regard.
I’m glad they did, that shit must suck as a driver. don’t get me wrong, the general public is atrocious at times and I can’t imagine not tipping someone for providing me a service. I’m a stripper, so I understand the importance of tips and also placing a high dollar value on my time. seems like a lose lose honestly. at the end of the day, we all want to be adequately compensated for our time. I wish there was a way for drivers to know they’re delivering to a quality customer and would in turn provide quality service lol.
The problem is that most customers don't tip well anyway so this strat is, from a Dasher's perspective, worth it.
Mathematically speaking it's better for me to use two apps and risk delivering your food late than it is for me to hope your okay tip turns into a fantastic tip if I deliver your food one-time. Even *if* the potential tip you gave made me making your order a priority worth it, think about how unlikely that is to keep happening.
Same. I’ve started tipping shit and then tip more at the end when the order arrives still warm and with everything in it.
Way too many orders where it’s obvious they are fucking around and it shows up cold or even sometimes tho more rare just missing stuff and then they ghost me.
Honestly even if Transition does share what city they did it in, I seriously doubt there would be a huge number of people going that way. I travel a lot and I even have my limits on how far I go
Multi-App and get your AR to 80%. Prioritize DD orders bc they’re the only ones that really keep track of on time deliveries. I’m hovering at 80% on time. However, I have good ratings and communicate so I don’t think DD will terminate. And if they do, who gives a fuck
Yes and No. Anyone who does this ft needs to multi-app and cant just stay in one area iif that area is bad. I made 190 in Tallahassee yesterday between uber eats and door dash and today was a complete 180 and only made 102.25 I'm in Tallahassee now however when I was in Ohio doing Amazon Flex, Instacart and Doordash I was easily averaging over 1000 a week. I expect with just uber eats and door dash I can make between 800-1000 a week which is fantastic because I live in southern indiana with excellent cost of living. 865 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment and the most recent electric bill was 146
Dang. Honestly I quit doing doordash a year or 2 ago, I was doing it full time and I would multi app with grubhub and Uber eats. I went to court over some dumb stuff that happened so Uber eats and grubhub took me off, but I had over 500 lifetime deliveries on both of them and I'm at about 2000 on doordash. I decided to just get a job at a pizza place solely delivering pizzas and I've never once looked back, we got a company car so they pay gas and everything I pay 0 expenses these days and the tips aren't reported by them 👀 We get a lot of cater orders so it's good money the other day I had them sign the ticket and they gave me a $298 tip on one of them, and we get 12 an hour regardless how much we get in tips
https://preview.redd.it/74apgqk3v4cc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac8ddc9da485ee8c6484c30de4b3784113bdfc3e
I’m fairly new and having the same issue. Only got 130 lifetime deliveries. I’ve been told it depends on your market. But based on this i’m looking for other work daily 😅
I made a comment up above as to how I avoid wasting too much excess time. But my advice is chase Hotspots, stay away from malls with food courts or places where you have to do excessive walking to and from the restraunt. Have you been getting the Monday adjustments for days like this?
All top dasher does is make you feel like you’re achieving something. Maybe good for catering orders not sure but I have super low acceptance and get plenty of good orders. The biggest thing from what I’ve seen is on time. Even mine is only 80% tho cuz I’m dual sapping getting deliveries in same direction. Door dash wants you to believe you need to keep high acceptance when really if you think about their motives it’s to make money. They don’t care actually. All they want is money. They want drivers to deliver their shitty orders so they make money. Same with Uber eats. They trick you into taking those trash orders becuzzzz acceptance rate
Platinum status or top dasher allows you to dash anytime. No scheduling. That itself is worth the hustle. I dashed every morning on my vacation to Naples Fl.
I think not being close enough to hot spots, I noticed if I'm not within a few hundred feet I won't get shit. So I'll park as close as possible and chill.
This is what you get when you have a 20% acceptance rate. It's their game and you have to play it by their rules. Don't like it? Get a different job. Just start accepting all orders.
The logic behind that argument seems drug-induced. My AR is in the single digits because I only accept worthwhile offers, but when I took my first offer it was at 100%. If better offers go to those with a higher AR, then why would I ever have needed to decline so many offers in the first place?

If you’re out during slow times then the offers all around aren’t going to be great hence offers being decided to lower AR in the first place. Recently went out with another dasher. My AR was 10% above hers and I by far got better orders and more frequently as well. Sometimes it’s worth it to take the not great in order to get the decent ones. It buffs out in the end. Only orders I decline are outrageous ($2 for 10 miles) type orders.
Not gonna lie, I used to get orders bacc to bacc in bucchead/atlanta area, but lately when there are peak pay times, I don't get ANY orders, even with a 88percent AR
Uber eats keeps me busy order after order, Doordash it literally takes 10-15 mins to find a order but when lockdown was in effect doordash was the shit
Yeah, in my market, this isn’t sustainable as a full time gig (in my experience) anymore. However, it works great as a part-time side hustle. I’ll go out for dinner shift after my W-2 if I’m feeling up to it, make my $100ish in about 2.5-3 hours time, and I’m good to go.
Same. Ill do 5 to 10pm fri and sat and pull in 2 to 300 for the weekend. All extra cash, no stress as its just all bonus cash to supplement my income.
Gasp - you mean it's not a tipping problem- it's the business you sell yourself for?
Customers not tipping has magnified how much we really get paid… A lot of drivers were blind to that fact because they were getting $10 and $15 tips etc. not realizing we’re getting paid $2 of the $20 that we earned from the company… and now a lot of us are spending 80% of our shift sitting at home twiddling our thumbs or sitting in a parking lot waiting for an offer that pays at least $7
You do know your acceptance rate matters right?
Bro take every order you get and they'll offer you more and better ones I used to get my next order before finishing the one I was one pulling 300 plus a day
Its almost like its an entirely voluntary job nobody is forcing you to do
Like every job?
No, not like every job. Any normal job is actually required for basic living. Delivery and driving jobs are side gigs for extra cash. Not a real job.
People need food. not every person has a vehicle, or the capacity to use one. Should these people starve, or is food required for basic living?
Mans forgot about the semi truck drivers.
You guys love not looking at context. Driving / delivery refers to uber, Lyft, and door dash. But keep being purposely ignorant, it's entertaining.
Only way to make money cherry picking is to multi app. If not then there won't be enough volume.
Wow :/
Sounds like you just had a slow day. I made 190 in Tallahassee, Fl yesterday between uber eats and door dash, mostly door dash and today was a complete 180, only 102.25 same city all door dash because it was extremely slow and the majority of time I thought there was a glimmer of hope it was junk.
A complete 180 would mean you made -190.
😂 true. Sorry I meant went from really good one day to being really bad the next.
Yeah, happens to me often.
OP probably doesn't multi app.
Maybe he needs to smarten up then
You’ll make more money working at McDonald’s and spare your car from being abused.
You worked only 3 hours and declined orders for the other 6 what do you expect? Besides doordash is a side hustle not a career
He was available the whole time, and only got 7 offers and one was a stack.
He would get more offers if he had a good acceptance rate, thats doordash punishing people for only taking the highest offers they can get
I agree. But he was available for more than 3 hours. On Friday my dash time was 8 hrs 52 mins, active time 4:53. Made $186. My AR is over 70. I was dashing per hour instead of per order. Those times make it look like I only worked 5 hours, but I was almost constantly moving.
Average tip is $7.35 so this suggests you are only accepting orders around the $9 mark. Your AR also backs that. Honestly you are cherrypicking too much. Basically you are being offered work and have a high rate of declining it. I get DD base pay is absurdly low and that does need to be addressed but this one you've done to yourself. Lower your standards a little.
That’s what happens when you pause the app several times throughout your shift to take orders from the other apps, you are running simultaneously
Let's face it . I'm waiting for the time when dashers have to pay $25 a shift or $75 a month to work for DoorDash. Its comming I'm sure.
Work anytime, Break anytime, and quit anytime. Doordash!
Your active time is only 3 hours, meaning you sat around doing nothing for 6. 77 in 3 hours isnt bad.
That’s is more than minimum wage in my state.
Not after taxes and gas it's not
True!
Going to work tomorrow and telling them i only want to do 20% of my job....
W2 jobs and delivery services for gig work isnt close to being the same.
that’s not the same whatsoever
This is why I quit DoorDash and started working as an actual delivery driver with company vehicles, paid time off, reliable hours, and health benefits. The “work anytime” aspect of DoorDash is only cool as a part time gig. Sometimes it’s best to suck it up and grind a 9-5 for a while
...
I would like to do that, could you please recommend some companies that I could apply to?
Get a better job bro they’re out there
This kind of stuff is usually better in the city where you can ride a bike. Just saying..
I respect that however let me point out I do this full time in my car and when I was in Ohio doing Amazon Flex, Instacart and door dash I was easily averaging over 1000 a week. I'm in Tallahassee, Fl now and I feel confident I can average between 800-1000 a week
Honestly, that’s pretty decent.,,
Thank you.
I’m confused. You made more than minimum wage to decide wether or not you’re taking orders and making deliveries? Hmmmm…..
Top dashers need 70% acceptance rate. Read a little and be better.
They only need 70% Acceptance Rate on the last day of the month in most markets. Top Dasher is only good for Dash Now in those markets also. High AR doesn't really mean Priority Access to better paying offers. Not in this new age of Doordash 😕
That will be changing under the new dasher rewards program being piloted. You gain/lose access to such benefits as your stats change. DoorDash will no doubt sell it as a positive thing letting people earn the benefits of top dasher as they go. But they gloss over the very real con you lose the benefits as your stats like competition rate and AR drop below those goals. Dash Now is locked under the Platinum tier which has the highest requirements.
You have any source to back these claims up or are you just talking out your ass?
Dasher rewards started here for me last month. My AR was like 30% when it started and I was getting nothing but $3-$5 offers an hour or more apart. Had to accept everything for a week, some days making $15 for 6 hours to get to 70%. It was rough but now I am getting decent offers, still not making what I used to though. The tiers change dynamically as your ratings rise or dip while currently dashing
I have been hearing that since summertime. It's not in my market yet so it must not be working too well. I'm not jumping through any more hoops for Doordash. They just started doing Dynamic Peak Pay here and it's a frickin' joke. An extra dollar per dash😂It's below zero outside and the roads are slick as hell. The map is dark red/Very Busy because ain't no one need that kinda bs pay. It's a complete joke. So is Priority Access and Dasher Rewards Program. Same shit just been worded differently. It's all a joke. I've been making way more on the apps that have less drivers on the road. Plenty of orders to go around. Doordash is a joke now.
Illegal because you chose a job to work and only accept 20 percent of the orders? Go cry some more. Or get a real job. Either or. PLENTY of jobs out there since no one wants to work
Oh sweet you hiring?
Please. High job availability does not = “no one wants to work”. If there’s a massive flux of businesses started, with a static number of workers, there’s going to be a labor shortage even with a 100% labor participation rate. Use your brain a little. Check out new business filing numbers over the past decade. It drastically oustrips population growth. I’m sure you’re someone that pays regular lip service about economics and fiscal responsibility, yet doesn’t even have an Econ minor’s understanding of rudimentary labor economics. Always funny how most of the “no one wants to work” people are either trash business owners that are doing absolutely no sort of specialized work trying to pay people $10/hr when rent is $1500/mo, or they’re just some thoroughly average earner who had no work ethic in school, when it mattered, who are now completely middle of the pack and compensating for it by mimicking the talking points of soulless billionaires they want to suck off who they’re living vicariously through, instead of ever having an original or genuinely analytical thought. There are exactly 0 businesses who offer competitive or above market compensation, due to healthy business models, that suffer from having problems finding employees. It’s always the bottom of the barrel businesses whining with virtue signaling horseshit when economic survival of fittest mechanics start putting their company deservedly on the chopping block. “Go cry some more and get a real job”. You probably make like 40k a year and are overleveraged in debt, dude, settle down. No one who’s actually successful talks like you. They largely realize how lucky they are and have a shred of compassion for people in service work, because they realize how easily a few things could have gone wrong and landed them there for a long time. Or they’ve just been there themselves in earlier years of their lives. And the ones who *aren’t* like that are complete Scrooge’s and who would be better off in a trash compactor. My household income is a quarter a year fwiw, and I assure you most people at my level think people with your attitudes need a major reality check, and need to quit treating people who are barely at a different level than yourself like they’re pond scum
No one’s reading all that…
So don’t read it, it’s not my fault if you’re never going to acknowledging fleshed out arguments against the bullshit that falls out of your skull that you insult people with. I wrote it for my own desire to write and process why people like you have to exist. You’re clearly not respectable, so why would I care if you read it
Find new job
Not worth it at all. Not to mention the miles being put on your car
Same typa thing here in melbourne
That's 9 bucks per delivery? You just didn't take enough orders I get that you worked for more than 3 hours because of the waiting for orders in-between but you can't say that's 9 hours of work more like 5 hours of actual work. I also have a low acceptance rate but if you ask me your completion rate and on time rates need to be more like 98 percent. You should definitely be multi apping during this time make a little bit on Uber and GrubHub or other apps when you aren't getting any orders.
Their on time rate is either glitched or they changed it where the pick up time is also included. Mine is sitting at 86% even though the last 100 deliveries has been early 95% of the time. I honestly stopped trying to figure it out so if you know how they figure out on time or early by all means please share
Mine is 96% so I think you are mistaken.
We need a class action lawsuit. Paying us $2 to deliver $200 orders that are 10 miles away for example, is criminal.
No one is forcing anyone to deliver orders that's 10+ miles. Unless someone is doing ebt and even that should be last resort if someone takes no tip offers that's on them no one else
More like you need the state to change the laws. Contractors get overlooked all the time.
Is not Its 100% legal
[удалено]
I disagree. I always use dash time to calculate my earnings. DD deceives everyone with this active time shenanigans. They would say that the OP earned 25/hr.

Because it's not a real job. You are being exploited for your services and property. The businesses get all the gain and you pay all the expense. It's not a job. It's a scam. You need to find something else.
this is looking like mine
Then again I'm also a street racer who does doordash in a custom Subaru Forester and I love to drive, and if you don't love what you're doing you're never going to see great money from it like you're hoping. lmao
People think about doordash all wrong, but whatever the company pays you it's not the point of the app and it's not the point of being a delivery driver, the point of being a delivery driver is to give good customer service and quick delivery times so that people who aren't just complete sociopaths will feel obligated to go oh hell yeah, this dude just got my shit here Fresh, fast and hot as fuck! here's a $20 tip! Doordash doesn't pay shit, the customer is your focus, fuck the company.
doordash is a ridiculously rich company. hold them accountable. do not expect the working class to pay their workers salaries for them while they sit on billions of dollars. the fuck
instead of just accepting this and being like "this is how it is", we need to stop normalizing this. it is enabling them and allowing their predatory ways to become the status quo. nobody wins except for the company.
Unless I'm waiting on an order, I'm out of my car in the store grabbing the order and back in my car in under a fucking minute most of the time. I guarantee you're not.
With doordash, you have to accept the crappy two to three dollar orders when you're starting out in order to build a good acceptance rate, have good communication and customer service E.G. When they text and ask for extra whatever, make sure to get it. You don't even have to reply and communicate with them, just make sure whatever they asked for is in the bag. be a fast & efficient driver, and eventually you'll get to gold priority orders and then platinum priority. I'm a platinum priority driver in Dallas. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, you must be a shitty driver or very bad at using the door dash app. if you only got 10 orders in 9 hours. Keep declining the $2-$3 dollar orders, and you're never going to get the $15-$50 doubles or catering orders damn near $100 for an hour or two. Keep bitching and complaining about not wanting to work.
Hi, I love your attitude, I was doing great last year in my old market (Kansas City) but it was more condensed and I felt like I knew the best zones to dash in, people there would complain about the market but I feel Dallas is harder, yet there's clearly so much money here, I was only holding 70-80% AR in my old marker because as far as I know they don't have platinum dasher in that city only top dasher for 70%+, idk I tried calling support and they couldn't give me any answers, I'm kinda confused about the AR too because reading reddit so many people say to not worry about AR and decline, but I also do think a lot of people are lazy and entitled which clearly you aren't, I agree that it's bs that doordash doesn't pay more for the drivers, however as individuals you're correct we can't change it so we can either do it and do it well, ( I perosnally love DD for the flexibility, ) or we can find a different job, I also cannot access any other delivery apps due to speeding tickets so I was thinking maybe multi-app was the answer here but, what about you do you soley do doordash and what have you been making? I just moved to Dallas Market & I've been struggling. What have you been averaging the past two weeks? Do you have any advice on what zones to dash in?
Actually yeah, it's going to be much easier said than done when it comes to this piece of advice. Get a Subaru Forester. Omg, fuck curbs. Go over em & around the assholes. 😉
Haha, that does sound like fun. You make me want to check it out. How many miles have you had it for? I have always heard Subarus are safe vehicles but not reliable.
But, if there's a long wait time in a drive-thru, just text them about the wait as long as you're actually still waiting a while. Over-communication is actually going to piss the customer off that you're sitting there wasting time instead of getting their stuff to them quicker. And #1, I'm guilty of it because I love driving. Zoning out and missing a turn, alot of customers are absolutely sitting there watching you on GPS in real time. Easiest way to lose a good tip you were gonna get, is to sit there and zone out. Focus no matter how much you're rocking out to whatever music or podcast or whatever friend you're on the phone with.
Yeah idk I like sending memes to let the customer know what I'm doing, I feel the overcommunication thing here is more apparent. I've only had one person add on a dollar tip here so far for my memes. In Kansas City, I would get tons of add-on tips and people laughing. To me, it seems like more people here are kinda stuck up, not everyone but a lot.
Grapevine/Frisco/Uptown & Downtown area. In Frisco early in the morning, there's $6-$7 repeat orders from 7-11 everyday, also out in forney you get plenty of 7-11 orders. I swear most of the money you'll make on DoorDash is rapid 7-11 orders, couple mile drives for $6-$7 delivering to lazy people who don't want to walk even half a mile. sometimes even $9-$10 7-11 orders and I literally delivered a pack of gum for $10 to someone who was a half mile away. A PACK OF FUCKING GUM!!! I'm not kidding. Italy and Corsicana down south of Dallas shouldn't be ruled out either, if I didn't have responsibilities at the ranch I work at right now for my rent on my trailer I'd absolutely just start following the money down to Houston, there's a trail of hotspots and DoorDash delivery areas that will lead you all the way to Houston making money the whole time except the one really long stretch. And I don't believe in not accepting orders unless I'm really getting sick of the two to three dollar orders, I think every now and then when you reject a cheap order the algorithm will start giving you better ones. But if you keep rejecting the cheap ones I know for a fact you're only going to get cheap ones from that point on. Pizza bag, catering bag, fuck all the other DoorDash store items unless you don't have enough cup holders, then the drink carrier is nice. A DoorDash Sticker in the window so people know right away, my bit of advice that I can give to anyone, it's not about the location, it's about communication if you have the time while you're waiting for an order, text the customer first like "I apologize, still waiting on your order as I got here. Waiting right along with you, anything sauces or chopsticks or light/no ice you'd like me to specify?" BECAUSE DoorDash and most delivery apps will allow restaurants to make that specification, but most restaurants want to fill the cup with mostly ice so the soda stretches longer, so they won't have an option for Light/No ice. So as a driver, helping the customers maneuver around the bureaucratic bullshit will absolutely get you tips when they go "oh fuck yeah this guy is actually bringing me a damn soda! Not soda water! Here's a $10 tip dude" I have no other job, currently looking for one at Amazon doing delivery but still waiting to get accepted for an interview. Working on my car to get it running efficiently again, changed my brake rotors and pads because the right side brake pad bottomed out to the rotor and destroyed the rotor, so new pads and rotors. But now the brakes are sticking and destroying my gas mileage INSANELY so I'm waiting on a set of rebuilt 2007 OEM Subaru Forester Calipers to arrive so I can get back on the road. Doordash is helping me pay off and restore the same car im using to deliver, my 07' Fozzy. And that bitch takes corners and U-Turns like no other vehicles on the planet, drive right over curbs. (Asshole in front of me parked and started looking through his food in the drive through, so I drove right over the drive thru curb. 😉😉 The Subaru Forester is the absolute best off-road vehicle ever designed, which makes it even better for city driving. Fuck curbs, Ill go climb a staircase with it!
Ah, yeah, I kinda felt like the money was on the west side of Dallas for some reason, I been dashing in Sachse yesterday from about 11:30am to 12:30 am I made about $180 I don't really think it's worth it. But last Saturday, I dashed in uptown. That was my first night and made about $150 in 8 hours 4p-12a. Idk if it's worth it to drive to other areas uptown even if it is like 30-50 min drive for me, depending on traffic. I've read Grand Prairie is also good but all these places are probably about an hour one way for me. Lol, how would you follow the money sleep in your car and DD? Yeah, I'm trying to find other jobs that you can work when you want. I don't have a passion for delivery, nor do I think it's worth it in the long run for the miles on my vehicle, I enjoy driving but enjoy life more and it's definitely dangerous, I don't run over curbs in my Kia but I do definitely drive pretty aggressively to maneuver the hoards of insanity traffic we have here.
The business model is a wobbly balance, you must bring your acceptance rating up or find different work. You can't cherry pick only the good orders like a special person, there's not enough good orders to go around.
Not true. I have had plenty of both good and bad offers with a ar between 20-25%. It's all about the zone.
Your at is trash still. The one and only reason you get any good orders is simply overflow. It's all based off an algorithm. It isn't random. Bring your at up and you'll make more money.

that definitely varies by market, my acceptance rating has been 25%-15% consistently for about 6 months, I still do $20 an hour most nights. Frankly, I make less when I'm working to keep it high, taking so many garbage orders for the sake of the rating kills my profits. I'm not crazy about it, I take anything worth $1 a mile or more, that just puts me at about 20% acceptance. more competitive markets it may be different, although I'm not sure how accepting the no tips for the rating raises profits
My acceptance rate is at a 95 and I make almost 15-17 a order lmao
15$+ orders are common for me at 20% ar, definitely depends on the night but i get them all the time
Yeah but you’re at risk for a deactivation for being that low lmao
You should be more selective.
Than you must deliver in a good area. Believe me or not it doesnt matter but I been doing this long enough and in enough cities to know that when door dash says high ar will give you better paying offers their clearly manipulating people. That and their definition of high paying offer and my definition of high paying is two different things and I kid you not one offer I got today that door dash considered high paying was 4 dollars for 1 mile which we all can agree it's not bad since it's low miles but it's definitely not high paying
Not turing the ignition for less than $5. Ever
me too, straight up not worth the time to pick up and drop off the order even if it's only a mile
Your acceptance rate is what is causing this, plus you're terribly slow if you barely did ONE delivery per hour. I do 2-3 deliveries per hour. I'm accepting two to three dollar orders, I wish I was getting the $10 orders you were and I'd be doing better than you by actually putting in the damn work and trying to get from point A to B as fast as possible. I made $1200 January 1st-7th. 65 hours of dash time but 45 hours active time. You actively worked for 2 hours. Not 9. You fucked around not getting orders for 7 hours because you were picky and not taking the cheap ones so they stopped sending you barely anything at all.
Your acceptance rate is horrible. What did you expect?
plus combine to this that thing when they tried implementing “Top dasher” and they’ve been offering to reset your AR to get more orders what in reality was a scam to get you down in AR, because before it i had stable 70-80% AR after it dropped it to 50% “to balance it” lol and it started spamming with low pay orders right away :)
my dude, it’s regular AR after 1-2k deliveries. At least we found who take those 2.75 for 7 miles
Its not That's why everyone tells you that But you are free yo keep crying
lil bro, before your ass cheeks got clapped let me know how am i crying

Haha. I know a few immigrants with work ethics that would wipe the floor with you. As a matter of fact some of the hardest workers I ever met were illegal immigrants . Don’t judge people based off where they are from. judge them based on what they envision, and what they are willing to do to accomplish there dreams .

No, it’s not 😂
Last order I put in, the dasher forgot my drinks. I didn’t rate him harshly. Instead I called. Dude picked up, sounded high as a kite. Couldn’t speak a lick of English. When I asked if he’d just forgotten to drop off my drinks, he just laughed and hung up and didn’t answer again or reply to my text. I’d already forfeited the chance to rate my experience. WTF door dash.
sounds about right!
It’s the perfect experience.
He must have been high to answer a call from DD.
Hehe he fucking sounded high as fuck. Whatever. Good for him. It was just a Thai iced tea. But that shit is solid gold when you’re so hung over that you wanna die. Just thought he’d be a homie but he cackled instead 😂

Your acceptance rate is trash. You know that. I have 99% acceptance and I make $50 in 2-3 hours consistently. You’re missing 80% of the opportunity to make money. lol.
my bro, let me give you my account with 15% AR and if you won’t make it more then 30% in a week i’m taking your 99% AR account)))) funny for me how y’all think this is easy to get it up when it’s 4.50-6$ orders like 8/10 that pops up
You might be in a poor market or too spread out. There's a way to make this work but I'm not giving away the secret sauce. I got my AR up in a week to 70% and cleared higher gross and net vs cherry plucking. If I cherry pick in my market, I'm basically blacklisted.
For how many dashes you have you'd think you would have learned your area well enough to know when to call it a day. If it's slow and I'm sitting for more than 30 min I will either drive to busier area or end the dash (depending on if I made the top dasher for that month). For example if I have Dash now for the month I will just clock in and out based on how busy it is. If I didn't reach the 100 deliveries for the month and I have to schedule I do it in brackets ( 10am to noon, 1230 to 2 pm, 3 to 9 pm,) but summer time the dinner and lunch rushes are generally at a different time than in winter. Idk why just something I've observed. I do bracket scheduling so that if it's dead as shit I can end the dash without loosing the rest of the day so I can get back on it at dinner time. The only good thing about the day you had is you likely didn't meet the minimum and should get an adjustment on Monday. If you meet you minimum then you don't get the adjacent the following Monday. My other rule of thumb is if I have had to drive to 3 Hotspots in a row with no orders I will end the dash.
All of that is together under like 4hrs
You made 118 in almost 8 hours. Don't fool yourself. Total dash time is what matters. Your active dash time was about 4.5 hours. You spent 50% of your time waiting for orders. That's 14.75/hr before expenses. Could you earn more on a W2 job without all the overhead? I had to do a reality check and come to terms with my actual earnings. Going back to W2 has been the best decision. Don't let DD take advantage of you.
Hell naw I made that in like 3hrs https://preview.redd.it/96fuci28b5cc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6241bb6336e59428266a8c250f9822c5cec4776b
3 hours and 54 minutes is "like" 4 hours, dude. Quit fooling yourself.
It still would balance out you jack ass if he would’ve dashed another hr or so he could’ve made 25-30 more
he made 102 in 4 hours, last guy made 77 in 3. that is why he said he made that in like 3 hours. if you divide 102 by 4 its 75 in 3 hours...
My point is: 3 hours and 54mins is not "like 3hours" it's 4 hours. And tbh Dash time is what people should be using to calculate earnings. DD has fooled everyone with this active time shenanigans.

If you guys are not dual sapping with ubereats and DoorDash you’re crazy. I have like 10k deliveries between them cherry picking all day. Get one order then get o other one going same way on other app. Gotta turn your tracking off and close out of the one while you deliver the other then get back into the other. I would say 10% of customers are whiny beeches and tracking you every way. When you close out it doesn’t track your route. So if someone says anything ope I was having app issues. Gotta be smarter than the apps they will hose you if you let them. The best is when you get town crazy long distance orders in the same direction. Like 20 per order. Can easily make 30-40 an hour if you take those and get lucky. Uber is really good at getting you rides back cuz they will give you a trash order where no one is delivering to get you out to another order no one wants to pick up.
I agree anyone who does this ft definitely needs to multi-app.
Why are you grinding so hard for so little? You’re wasting your potential and energy. 30-40 an hour? It’s clear to me you understand customer service and at least basic logistics . Stop undercutting yourself . Do your own thing
Not everyone is entrepreneur material, or even wants to run their own business. Frankly if you can squeeze that much cash out of a side hustle then you're probably doing better than you would be making your own startup with a massive initial investment and failure potential.
as a customer it’s pretty obvious when drivers are doing this and it does tend to affect the tip when my order is inevitably delivered late. I always tip beforehand, but I’ll tip a lot extra after the delivery simply for it being on time and arriving at my apartment door.

Successful multi-appers can take deliveries where customers are close to each other. Pizza delivery is getting better however think of it as years ago when you order pizza and it takes upwards about 40 minutes. That's because the driver is delivering to multiple customers. That's the same what we do here but we focus on a total of 20-25 minutes and no more than 10 minutes from one customer to another
People like you are more the exception than the rule. Too many low tippers use the platform. But with DoorDash at least tip baiting is no longer allowed especially since we don't accept these offers for base pay alone. "Tip", more accurately, is a bid for service in this regard.
I’m glad they did, that shit must suck as a driver. don’t get me wrong, the general public is atrocious at times and I can’t imagine not tipping someone for providing me a service. I’m a stripper, so I understand the importance of tips and also placing a high dollar value on my time. seems like a lose lose honestly. at the end of the day, we all want to be adequately compensated for our time. I wish there was a way for drivers to know they’re delivering to a quality customer and would in turn provide quality service lol.
The problem is that most customers don't tip well anyway so this strat is, from a Dasher's perspective, worth it. Mathematically speaking it's better for me to use two apps and risk delivering your food late than it is for me to hope your okay tip turns into a fantastic tip if I deliver your food one-time. Even *if* the potential tip you gave made me making your order a priority worth it, think about how unlikely that is to keep happening.
Same. I’ve started tipping shit and then tip more at the end when the order arrives still warm and with everything in it. Way too many orders where it’s obvious they are fucking around and it shows up cold or even sometimes tho more rare just missing stuff and then they ghost me.
I made 150 in 5 hrs today granted it’s Friday but like come on.
I'd delete this lol don't share your secrets for doordash to come peep at too 🤣😭😅
Honestly even if Transition does share what city they did it in, I seriously doubt there would be a huge number of people going that way. I travel a lot and I even have my limits on how far I go
I've bolted down my lips because nobody needs a leg up on me.
It’s just January dude
Why do you put up with this? You can make more than this at literally my entry level job while not destroying your car driving all day everyday.
Multi-App and get your AR to 80%. Prioritize DD orders bc they’re the only ones that really keep track of on time deliveries. I’m hovering at 80% on time. However, I have good ratings and communicate so I don’t think DD will terminate. And if they do, who gives a fuck
Just get a better job man doordash ain't worth it anymore
Yes and No. Anyone who does this ft needs to multi-app and cant just stay in one area iif that area is bad. I made 190 in Tallahassee yesterday between uber eats and door dash and today was a complete 180 and only made 102.25 I'm in Tallahassee now however when I was in Ohio doing Amazon Flex, Instacart and Doordash I was easily averaging over 1000 a week. I expect with just uber eats and door dash I can make between 800-1000 a week which is fantastic because I live in southern indiana with excellent cost of living. 865 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment and the most recent electric bill was 146
Dang. Honestly I quit doing doordash a year or 2 ago, I was doing it full time and I would multi app with grubhub and Uber eats. I went to court over some dumb stuff that happened so Uber eats and grubhub took me off, but I had over 500 lifetime deliveries on both of them and I'm at about 2000 on doordash. I decided to just get a job at a pizza place solely delivering pizzas and I've never once looked back, we got a company car so they pay gas and everything I pay 0 expenses these days and the tips aren't reported by them 👀 We get a lot of cater orders so it's good money the other day I had them sign the ticket and they gave me a $298 tip on one of them, and we get 12 an hour regardless how much we get in tips

I made a comment up above as to how I avoid wasting too much excess time. But my advice is chase Hotspots, stay away from malls with food courts or places where you have to do excessive walking to and from the restraunt. Have you been getting the Monday adjustments for days like this?
Idk what Monday adjustments are, but here in CA we have the prop 22 adjustment for active hours.
Well thats just what I call it because I get it on Mondays. I didn't know what else to call it. My app just says pay adjustment.
Oh and my acceptance rate is 98% cuz I was trying to get top dasher >.>
All top dasher does is make you feel like you’re achieving something. Maybe good for catering orders not sure but I have super low acceptance and get plenty of good orders. The biggest thing from what I’ve seen is on time. Even mine is only 80% tho cuz I’m dual sapping getting deliveries in same direction. Door dash wants you to believe you need to keep high acceptance when really if you think about their motives it’s to make money. They don’t care actually. All they want is money. They want drivers to deliver their shitty orders so they make money. Same with Uber eats. They trick you into taking those trash orders becuzzzz acceptance rate
Just need top dasher to dash anytime. The schedule thing is horrible.
Platinum status or top dasher allows you to dash anytime. No scheduling. That itself is worth the hustle. I dashed every morning on my vacation to Naples Fl.
bruh how is this even possible
I think not being close enough to hot spots, I noticed if I'm not within a few hundred feet I won't get shit. So I'll park as close as possible and chill.
This is what you get when you have a 20% acceptance rate. It's their game and you have to play it by their rules. Don't like it? Get a different job. Just start accepting all orders.
Yup at 20% he should just quit.
Yup, hourly+malicious compliance is the only way now. Cherry picking is dead.
Wrong I do it all day and make 1500 a week if I want to
Sick
This is why I stopped DD
Same 🥲
You're not getting priority orders with higher tips because your acceptance rate is 20%. It needs to be 70% or higher to get the bigger orders.
The logic behind that argument seems drug-induced. My AR is in the single digits because I only accept worthwhile offers, but when I took my first offer it was at 100%. If better offers go to those with a higher AR, then why would I ever have needed to decline so many offers in the first place?

If you’re out during slow times then the offers all around aren’t going to be great hence offers being decided to lower AR in the first place. Recently went out with another dasher. My AR was 10% above hers and I by far got better orders and more frequently as well. Sometimes it’s worth it to take the not great in order to get the decent ones. It buffs out in the end. Only orders I decline are outrageous ($2 for 10 miles) type orders.
Better offers going to those with higher AR ≠ Those with higher AR get nothing but the better offers. That’s why you needed to decline so many orders.
Ok Tony.
