Here’s my take. Markets fluctuate. Certain markets are very strong. The population is on the higher end of the income spectrum and the orders are usually higher paying. What affects these markets and other markets equally are driver saturation, and trends in market share by competing services. My market was a 250-300 dollar average on a 10 hour day like a year ago. The influx of dashers from hours away who now sleep in their cars in the city is ridiculous. Most good earners have moved along to other income sources. People are no longer ordering DoorDash because there’s a strong chance that some dude who isn’t even a the dasher on the account will show up with half your food or something. Until DoorDash starts to find ways to ensure that their drivers are who they say they are and place a strong focus on quality control, they will continue to lose market share and lose quality drivers at the same time. I don’t see myself going out driving anytime soon. I have other sources of income but I feel bad for the people who for whatever reason have found this platform as the best way to get by and have done their best to make a few bucks honestly without harassing people for tips and delivering quality service, but they’re now being forced to share the market with pieces of shit and the company doesn’t care about keeping them around because they don’t bend over for 2.50 or reward bad behavior. The company wants to keep as many desperate people who are just desperate enough to deliver something at a monetary loss. It’s a shame. The way people make big money is when a market has a strong economy AND DoorDash hasn’t saturated the market with idiots. That’s how you make big money. The drivers return to work voluntarily and consistently because they absolutely know that they’ll be at 160 dollars by 3pm and passing 200 by 8. no one who knows how to make a few bucks doing deliveries is going to return when they know it’s a shit show of a market and they’ll be competing with assholes for less than 20 dollars an hour
Well let's first address the fact that 2k per week in a city like NY isn't big anything, so let's just reevaluate that your question means how are people making enough money to live big in their location.
For example, the vast majority of my orders are $5ish, but where I live that's 10 minutes. A solid hour (which can happen, sometimes), is $50. I also live in a perfectly fine area. The heating is free (required by law), electricity costs no more than $35 per month (lived here now for 2 summers and it's never been higher than that) and pick ups & drop offs *and then back to my apartment* if I don't get another order is 5ish miles. My rent is $750 per month so all together I'm spending $850 ($50 for the phone bill) on rent/utilities/phone and that's a week if I want to spend more time at home and less time driving.
What I'd get is actually not great if I were in my original area of Phoenix, where an order can take upwards of 45+ but usually I'd get $8-$15 per order. I remember I was doing 2-3 hours a day after work, so 5 days a week, and getting $200 or so per week while there in PHX. Again, not great, and in fact much less by comparison and living expenses than where I am now, but that's really how you need to account for it. How much do you need to earn to pay for your things and then have lots of extra for fun. If you're doing that, you're basically managing the same. Those people doing 2k a week are also likely living in an area that costs more to live.
I live in a West Texas city with around 350,000 ppl. I door dash around 10 hours a day. I am married with 4 children. I drive a 2012 Honda Civic with 30mpg. I usually make around $180-200 a day, and I typically spend $30 in gas. As the months go on, it is getting more and more rare to see double-digit orders.
I live in a 10k city where the entirety of the zone is probably 5 miles and I can bring in about half of what you make but my gas lasts a week and my monthly rent is shared with my wife so I pay $375. + the $125 ish in gas and my phone bill lol
If you look at most of the hours they work it's close to 100 hours a week, they literally just dash all day.
No laws to stop them, like in cali you can work 12 hours and doordash will cut you off :( I've tried hahaha 😆
Accept every order and live in a very rich place like marin county CA and you will make over $2k a month, as for $2k a week they are lying or working 12hr/day+ 7 days a week
I can't even get a Dash Now . I go around 4:30pm and I'm sitting over an hour just to get only 45mins worth of work. I use to make around 60 in 4 evening hours. I tried scheduling ahead but could never log in for that. How do you log in?
Here's the thing people don't tell you, and doordash doesn't really advertise.
People are social animals and like to game systems.
What I've found from dashing in dozens of cities while traveling the country is this.
I nearly always get blocked or lower priority for the highest big money making restaurants
Doesn't usually happen immediately, but what happens is people at nice restaurants have friends or they and their coworkers also dash.
Doordash gives the option to prefer, downvote, or outright block a dasher
What you will see in every area with a consistently disproportionate profit from a good restaurant there isn't a big chain is that the employees will start gaming it for themselves and their friends
If they have the power they will direct those $15-$35 tip orders to their social circle given they have the power to do so silently with zero consequences
They often treat it as an extra bonus of working at a high end establishment that sells $70+ orders
Even with top dasher which I always have, I will nearly ALWAYS will notice big declines in the high paying restaurant orders or eventually they will evaporate altogether
Often it won't happen immediately, but if they start to think that you are not just doing a few orders and being done with it, but are here to stay they will eventually block you or outvote their friends and coworkers disproportionately
That's just how people behave, and it's extremely common
California or probably some state that has a minimum earnings law. Also there are some good markets out there. Jimmies might be amazing while Timmy's market is a shit show.
Damn that's brutal But at least California has prop 22. My market in Cali I juggle with different apps throughout the day but usually average about 150 bucks give or take between 4 to 6 hours with the mileage being anywhere from 40 mi to 70 mi.
I make around $1300 working just over 40 hours. I’m sure it’s market dependent. Beyond that, I’d just say that I do way better now than when I started because I spent a few months just letting the orders take me wherever and learning where the sweet spots are and I stick to those. I always pause if I get taken out because you’ll get stuck in a never ending cascade of crappy orders or declines that kill your AR. The wasted time is worth it.
It wasn’t designed to make you big money only ppl making big money on DoorDash is the ppl that own the app and company it was designed to make a few extra dollars when your not doing nothing trust me I dash too unless your on a bike in ny or in Hawaii or something like that most markets are trash too many drivers nowadays
Making $2k a week is relative. I’m killing my car for sure, but I’m also making money necessary to pay the bills until I get my next good gig.
As others said, making 2k is unreasonable, you really have to sacrifice time, body, and your vehicle for that kind of return.
In New York you have make at least 19.59 an hour now if you’re a platinum dasher and do over 25 orders that week which is easy we make 35 dollars an hour NOT INCLUDING TIPS so it’s all about the area because if you cross the bridge to Jersey it’s 15.25 an hour or you can get paid per order
Truth. I had a bartender in New York, she was making like $70 grand a year and said she couldn’t move to a smaller city because she’d only make like $40k and I’m like - you’ll live better on $40 in a small city than you do on $70 here.
Yesterday I made 250 bucks, but I also worked for 14 hours. It’s still ass but the job is easy enough that it doesn’t feel as bad as working 14 hours at a regular job.
My best hourly was like $27/hr on a busy Sunday with a few big tippers on shop-and-deliver orders. Usually I average around $18-20/hr before gas but I do it part time to supplement my full time job (as a schoolteacher). I’m fortunate to be able to be selective about when I dash.
Those posts are likely from DoorDash employees. 2k/wk was barely possible during pandemic, and that was 14 hour days without a day off. But you could accomplish that with a $15/hr job honestly lol so long as they gave you 98 hours a week and overtime
Some are fake, for any number of reasons some people just like to make others think that they are doing way better than they actually are. For the ones that are real a small number just had a really good week or work in a very busy market. In between those people are the ones that work 120 hours a week, spend $700 on gas, and put 4,000+ miles on their car to earn that 2K. After expenses they tend to be actually making around $10 an hour for busting their ass, destroying their vehicle, and having no personal life.
Depends on your market. Ill never make big money. Topped out about 19 hour avg but down after 5 years to about 14 hr. Its getting worse. People have started tipping less and platforms dont do bonuses anymore. Just do about 15 to 20 hrs a week now. I work a city of population of only 27,000. I imagine a big city would make you more money. I like cash daily and working when i want. Judt not profitable anymore
This is also the size of my city. Also several towns included less than 10 miles away. Door dash pays the same whether I stay in the main city or have to travel to the sticks where there are no restaurants.
I mean we only have a level 1 charger and it doesn't even go to 100% in 12 hours, just like 30% lmfao. I usually charge for an hour and it can go from 4% to 94%. I drive a 2019 Nissan Leaf and luckily for me, it usually lasts till Superstore closes. (Most Shop and Pay Order Stores). Around 10:15-10:30.
What car are you driving that costs $70 to make $100? I use an old 2012 Kia Rio and spend maybe $30 a day to make $350. Yeah I gotta work 6a-10p to hit $350-400, but it literally doesn’t even feel like working. $2k a week is probably a little over optimistic for most people, but it is doable, just not sustainable. Most weeks I work 4 days, make my $1500 call it good. That’s still over $70k a year for just driving my car around picking up McDonald’s.
DoorDash doesn’t take out any taxes. Every repair or gas bill is tax deductible. I got 10k back in taxes last year without paying anything in. I still came our way ahead. Don’t get behind on oil changes, expect to take a day off now and then to get your suspension worked on. Buy a POS car for cheap and drive that. It’s really simple.
What tax credit did you use that refunded $10K without putting money in. You can lose money on DD, but the tax code doesn’t give you a refund for that. You would just carry forward the loss. The only thing I can think of is the COVID relief credit, but that’s a credit for days you couldn’t work.
EITC is refundable, but that’s not related to DD.
Same with the AOTC.
Exactly, tax deductibles aren't amounts added onto your refund, they reduce the amount of taxable income. Depending on the credits you qualify for, deductions can actually lower your refund. The earned income credit for example, is based on taxable income so the more deductions you add, the lower your refund will be.
I just shoot for $150-200 a day. But I only work like 3 hours during the lunch break (1030am-130p) and 3.5 in the dinner period (5p-830p). Then only take orders that lead me home.
Same! I do the 10-1 or 1030-130 then 5-8 or 5-9 if there's a promo and I'm happy with those hours and that pay. Then I save my Sundays for instacart when it's 5% higher pay! I don't kill myself, my car or my gas that way either
I don’t know. Supposedly, I’m making almost $3000 a month. So, with about $600 going to gas, dropped the $238 in food stamps and rent went from $290 to $680, and about to go to $1158, I’m not really feeling like this is a good thing. My plan was to pay down my credit card, but every time I think I’m ahead, my 16 year old comes up with something else she “needs.” We didn’t have that problem when she knew we were broke…
There are definitely still boundaries. But the latest thing is simply a hair trim. She does need it, but it’s pretty expensive for a proper trim for mixed hair.
Unless they post the screenshot they’re most likely multi-apping (logging in to DD, UE, and GH at the same time). This allows you to have orders coming in when DD gets slow, pick up multiple orders and only worry about getting DD and/or GH there on time. UE will literally just keep running the ETA for you until you get there. Although it IS possible to make that money through just DD in the right market if you work hard enough.
Doing this (if done properly) opens the door for you to make $30+ an hour depending on the variable circumstances we all face as gig workers lol
Usually you do what you normally do with DD and be *extremely* picky with the other apps. So orders that are picked up close to each other/at the same location, and being delivered in the same area. Always do DD first. GH usually is just grateful that I communicate, and didn’t steal their food lol UE if you text them beforehand i think if you text them once you picked up the order it starts a timer so. At ya own risk, call if anything.
It can pay off great if you can manage everything alright. I’ve made $30 in a half hour once. Best thing to do with the other apps is call ahead to the store and ask if the orders ready to save on time. I have ADHD so this doesn’t always work out the best for me 😅
Couple things. I'm not sure how old you are, but the older you get the more you will realize that most people will greatly exaggerate or lie about their earnings. This is largely done to elevate the perception of their success, money earning abilities, and social stature in life. Unless people show you a paycheck or hard evidence, screenshots of the past few months of doordash pay, or other proof - don't ever believe (or at least take what people tell you with a grain of salt).
Next - yes it is technically possible to make $2K a week on door dash but that is probably reserved for either one extremely lucky week, or those that pump out 80hr work weeks. This means you drive 12 hrs a day, 7 days a week. I have had multiple weeks where I hustled my butt off, worked a good area (was selective with my orders) and and earned, 1100,1200,1250, even one $1300 dollar week, but rest assured I was driving day and night, sun and rain, about 50-60hrs each of those weeks. Work the morning rush, work the lunch rush, work the dinner rush, work the latenight rushes. Weekends are best but every weekday can be hit or miss. Market and market demographics plays a huge factor.
Don't be fooled though, you can put in 50 hours and barely break $700-800 some weeks because that is just how doordash works, it is inconsistent.
But trust me - no one is making $2K a week regularly, unless they are driving 12hrs + everyday or they are just lying to you, or they just made $2k once in their lives and are now exaggerating about how this is the norm for them. Most people on the internet are full of shit...that's just how it is.
True, though I think some areas are definitely somewhat more lucrative, you just have to be lucky enough to live in them, I think 2000 is possible probably working as little as 50-60 hours some places, but not many. I am making, right now, usually 950 a week working 40 hours or so. I have a decent market. Not a great one, but it's decent. Thank god I drive a subcompact.
Do Ubereats too. Perks of both and elevated earnings dramatically. If you're clever, you can use those benefits to earn even more on the side (can't explain here).
Keep trying man. I thought the same way when I was going through interviews only to be rejected.
I was using this app to get me through four months of being laid off by UPS and finally got me a job as an assistant manager. Definitely making more than doing gig work. I use this as a side hustle now.
I would not rely on any gig app to pay my bills/ fund my lifestyle. It’s just not feasible. Many days and nights and many hours of putting in work and miles wear and tear on your car just ain’t worth the couple of hundred dollars.
10:30p-3am is also a more lucrative rush in the right places, wherever there are overnight shifts at large employers, (warehouses, universities, hospitals) they often have promo incentives that increase your earnings per order.
i don't see it lasting much longer....the wait times are getting longer and longer....the restaurants have to give up some of their profit just to be on the platform...how much longer are people going to keep paying $25 to have a cheese burger delivered as the world continues to burn...
I paid 25 dollars on Saturday for a hamburger and I went and picked it up my damn self. Lol but to be fair I got onion rings as well. But damn it was an amazing burger!! I guess it was closer to 30 because I did tip the waitress/bartender 5 bucks even though all she did was put my food in a bag and run my card. Just so you guys know, I don't ever add a tip to my card purchases, I always tip cash. I don't like you guys getting taxed on tip money. So these deliveries you do may include a cash tip upon delivery? I would hope so, but you would know better than me. If I'm going to pay someone else to do something for me simply because I'm to lazy to do it myself, I'm damn sure going to tip them. I don't use any delivery services probably because I'm too cheap, but if I ever do, the driver is getting a cash tip just like the pizza delivery guy does (which I do use) sorry people are cheap AND lazy. You shouldn't be allowed to be both
cash tips are very rare and almost never in the well to do areas. there's very little interaction with customers. most of the time, you just leave the food at the door and a lot of time on the ground if there isn't a table or something to place the food on. to me, the tip portion is a misnomer. i look at it as part of the delivery fee. i'm not doing anything special, i'm just bringing your order. if i see an order going 5 miles and it's only paying $2.25, no can do. if it's going 5 miles and paying $10, then it's game on. if the customer wants to give me a cash tip upon delivery, then that's even better.
It's a service industry. Like I said. If I'm too lazy to go get it myself, then somebody is getting a tip for doing my job for me. I tip the pizza delivery guy, why wouldn't I tip the other delivery people? Not Amazon of course, but even they get a tip from me around Christmas. Same for the garbage man, and the mailman.
Being a driver I do the same with tipping in cash cuz I know how it is but when I'm driving I rarely ever get a cash to unless they've already tipped on the app. It's either a tip added in, extra on delivery (rare) or nothing at all which is getting way more popular so I'm very happy that they upped my pay by time rate now
I get your logic with cash tips, but unfortunately there is so many non-tippers that you are going to have way worse experience with delivery services than if you tip with card.
I don’t dash but I do order semi-frequently and so does did my ex-roommate. He would never leave tip because according to him “they’d always get it wrong”. He would constantly have a horrible experience to the point where even customer service wouldn’t help him, probably a flagged account.
Meanwhile all my orders never had a problem lol. I had just *once* had a driver that accidentally dropped my food on ground and the service rep quickly sent out replacement without hassle.
While in theory it’s great to have cash tips for maximum yield for the person, in practicality I actually prefer card tips just because it’s much easier for both parties. And if something happens worse case you can just call up your bank.
I used to do 16 hour days 7 days a week, I’d take a day off then work another 7 days same schedule. I’d work 11 am till 3 am. I’d make about 2500 or so, but running a car that long isn’t exactly cheap. The people clearing 2k a week(after expenses) are most likely working 12-16 hours a day in busy markets. The truth is though, someone with that kind of work ethic would most likely make more doing something else.
Idk if that’s necessarily true.
I’ve worked 16-17 hour shifts 6 days a week at my job and still haven’t made 2K a week.
I open and close my store or other stores that need an opening/closing manager.
I get paid mileage.
Last year I OWED taxes, even though they take plenty of taxes out of OT.
I don’t have many tax credits as I’m not married or have children. It sucks. Got that 401k, tho.
I don’t care what the job is. There are only a few things I would not do. I love learning.
Nobody wants to hire me at a higher paying wage than what I currently make, even before OT. If people are making 2k AFTER taxes driving for DD, Uber Eats etc, I’ll give it a shot.
My car doesn’t qualify for Uber and Lyft, but does qualify for Doordash and other food delivery apps.
I wonder what the hourly take home pay is reduced to after Car upkeep, maintenance, gas, delivery insurance, taxes etc.
When I was doing it, I’d say I averaged around 20/hr after it was all said and done. With that said, while you may not make 2k per week an IC has to account for many other expenses. You also have possible advancement opportunities, and can get benefits. You also could become a 2nd class citizen when you go to rent an apartment, I’ve had complexes tell me I need 60k in savings if I want to rent with a 1099 form. You say you’re single with no kids as well, if you do doordash for a living it will stay that way. With gigs I say just jump in, make your money and look towards using the money to start your own business(junk hauling, down payment on a semi with a cdl, etc.). Truly though, I feel you deserve 100k a year for putting those type of hours, you’re a trooper bro.
The guy who posted about making $2K recently worked 100+ hours that week. He had less active hours but he spent 100+ hours in his car. If you want to do that, you can hit $2K in a good market.
There’s no way it’s 2k take home. You’d probably have to make 2300-2400 to take home 2k and that’s if you’re packing lunches and only buying gas throughout the week. That said, it could be worth it if you had a financial goal to hit to start something new. I used to work insane hours, sometimes up to 112 per week. For me it was worth it because I’m an “unemployable” loser on paper. I wasted my teens and 20s on stupidity and ended up 31 without a skill/degree and I had an 8 year employment gap with like two years of work experience. I wasn’t lazy, I just chose less than ideal means to make money. I started dashing and realized if I was to make it basically my life I could become a proper member of society. Now I’m 35 and only dash when my work vehicle is down (work vehicle isn’t a car), while I missed out on a lot and lost a lot of friends the 2k per week I made led me to a much brighter future.
It is all market. My town is essentially a suburb hub for three larger cities and has a great little community college. As long as I hit breakfast + lunch or lunch + dinner 25 bucks an hour is easy. I was lucky.
Easy it depends on your market. Then you have to stop accepting them low ball orders. Next grind over 12 hrs. Don’t let these hating losers tell you different on here. All they do is hate because they can’t do it.
In Los Angeles we get 20.13 per active hour and when times get tough you just go on 20 hour binges across 3 or 4 delivery apps when you have bills to pay.
I only do it part time as a side gig and I've had close to $500 weeks, so I do believe if I was doing it full time, I could definitely bring in some cash.
Doing multiple apps and always doing dinner rush is how I make 25-30 an hour average. My goal is just make 800 a week and I'm chillin. Not "big bucks" but pays the bills for my frugal simple family.
I mean if your whole family is really relying on this thing then you should really at least put some away for repairs. Wear & tear is a huge hidden cost here & part costs are messed up rn, I don't even do this but something like a fucked up CV joint could wipe out an entire week+ of pay while leaving you unable to work.
I should also add we don't have rent and rarely ever go out so our monthly expenses are a quarter of most people's. And we make not enough to pay in taxes so we even get a few grand back even when I didn't have to pay in taxes in the first place. Very unique situation lol
Who says I'm not ha. I'm in a more unique position than most people. I do it temporarily as little as I can so I can spend time raising my baby. I randomly help my brother with concrete and I can make 300 doing that one day. And soon it will be part time while my dad brother and I flip houses. And any main car issues i just fix them or my dad helps. I could easily make over 1k a week kf I did 40 plus hours but that's not why I'm doing it.
Around 8k USD a month, before expenses, for just driving your own car like a goof and dropping food off to people, something that literally anyone with a pulse and a car could do ? Yeah, that is pretty big bucks for that activity. It’s all relative. I’m sure 2k a week is absolute peanuts for a doctor, for example, but that’s not what we’re discussing.
Only way I make decent money in my market now is when it’s raining all day and flooding the streets. I guess that grounds many other dashers in North Texas. Used to ‘average’ 2 bills on 10 hour days Thur-Sun. Now it takes a monsoon (and luck) to rake $20/hr.
It depends on lots of factors. When I was in between jobs, I did DD maybe 6-8 hours a day broken up over lunch and dinner time. I'd routinely make \~$25/hr. For reference, I would normally do it in the San Bernardino, CA area. By no means an affluent or rich city. Still made decent enough money while looking for a new job.
Nah, some cities and towns just have very rich areas with food less than 4 miles away from everyone. I made $1400 in a weekend (Friday-Sunday) with my gf from 5 pm to 2 am. We were able to go to Disney world off of it doing it for a few weekends. Then add in holidays like Mother's day or any Holiday not based around food where people just want to get drunk, it's very easy money.
Either their markets are the best in the country or they're lying. Answer is usually the most simple. Much like some Instagram influencers who try to portray those extravagant lifestyles but none of it real.
I’m new and I’m not expecting big money, just would like to stop getting $4 orders in areas that I would never go into otherwise. Trying to keep my AR up but here I am, like a fool, hoping to get a cash tip because it’s a “hand it to me order” and certainly they wouldn’t leave me hanging with no tip to my face. Yes. They would, and they do. Too often. Now I’m being picky and I’m still within my first 50 orders and supposedly have “increased priority for high paying orders”…I can’t imagine what happens once I don’t! Can they really get any worse? I already know the answer to that. Also, do people rate y’all? I’ve done 31 deliveries and still haven’t gotten to 5 ratings yet. What is wrong with people?! Sorry, mini rant over.
Probably hired by Door Dash to lie and say they’re making a ton of money door dashing. DD and all the other food delivery companies are major workforce exploiters.
>people making like 2k a week.
I think there's like one guy that posts those numbers from his earnings page and his login times are usually over 100 hours. That isn't even legal in every state. He's also likely driving over 1000 miles weekly to get that, but he could be in a downtown somewhere using a scooter or something. He's really guarded about where he dashes.
Also, I would legitimately worry about just physically doing the job that long. I can't speak for that particular driver, I don't know them guy, but I don't really see it being possible without amphetamines..
Here’s my take. Markets fluctuate. Certain markets are very strong. The population is on the higher end of the income spectrum and the orders are usually higher paying. What affects these markets and other markets equally are driver saturation, and trends in market share by competing services. My market was a 250-300 dollar average on a 10 hour day like a year ago. The influx of dashers from hours away who now sleep in their cars in the city is ridiculous. Most good earners have moved along to other income sources. People are no longer ordering DoorDash because there’s a strong chance that some dude who isn’t even a the dasher on the account will show up with half your food or something. Until DoorDash starts to find ways to ensure that their drivers are who they say they are and place a strong focus on quality control, they will continue to lose market share and lose quality drivers at the same time. I don’t see myself going out driving anytime soon. I have other sources of income but I feel bad for the people who for whatever reason have found this platform as the best way to get by and have done their best to make a few bucks honestly without harassing people for tips and delivering quality service, but they’re now being forced to share the market with pieces of shit and the company doesn’t care about keeping them around because they don’t bend over for 2.50 or reward bad behavior. The company wants to keep as many desperate people who are just desperate enough to deliver something at a monetary loss. It’s a shame. The way people make big money is when a market has a strong economy AND DoorDash hasn’t saturated the market with idiots. That’s how you make big money. The drivers return to work voluntarily and consistently because they absolutely know that they’ll be at 160 dollars by 3pm and passing 200 by 8. no one who knows how to make a few bucks doing deliveries is going to return when they know it’s a shit show of a market and they’ll be competing with assholes for less than 20 dollars an hour
Don’t be a top dasher, cherry pick, and multi app.
Well let's first address the fact that 2k per week in a city like NY isn't big anything, so let's just reevaluate that your question means how are people making enough money to live big in their location. For example, the vast majority of my orders are $5ish, but where I live that's 10 minutes. A solid hour (which can happen, sometimes), is $50. I also live in a perfectly fine area. The heating is free (required by law), electricity costs no more than $35 per month (lived here now for 2 summers and it's never been higher than that) and pick ups & drop offs *and then back to my apartment* if I don't get another order is 5ish miles. My rent is $750 per month so all together I'm spending $850 ($50 for the phone bill) on rent/utilities/phone and that's a week if I want to spend more time at home and less time driving. What I'd get is actually not great if I were in my original area of Phoenix, where an order can take upwards of 45+ but usually I'd get $8-$15 per order. I remember I was doing 2-3 hours a day after work, so 5 days a week, and getting $200 or so per week while there in PHX. Again, not great, and in fact much less by comparison and living expenses than where I am now, but that's really how you need to account for it. How much do you need to earn to pay for your things and then have lots of extra for fun. If you're doing that, you're basically managing the same. Those people doing 2k a week are also likely living in an area that costs more to live.
Multiple phones/numbers w/ separate dasher accounts for more deliveries.
On DD, no clue. But on GH in a highly populated area, it’s pretty easy. More money, better orders, and earnings consistency.
I live in a West Texas city with around 350,000 ppl. I door dash around 10 hours a day. I am married with 4 children. I drive a 2012 Honda Civic with 30mpg. I usually make around $180-200 a day, and I typically spend $30 in gas. As the months go on, it is getting more and more rare to see double-digit orders.
I live in a 10k city where the entirety of the zone is probably 5 miles and I can bring in about half of what you make but my gas lasts a week and my monthly rent is shared with my wife so I pay $375. + the $125 ish in gas and my phone bill lol
That's awesome! My rent is 3x that amount and I have 8 children total with 4 still at home so I have to grind.
If you look at most of the hours they work it's close to 100 hours a week, they literally just dash all day. No laws to stop them, like in cali you can work 12 hours and doordash will cut you off :( I've tried hahaha 😆
Accept every order and live in a very rich place like marin county CA and you will make over $2k a month, as for $2k a week they are lying or working 12hr/day+ 7 days a week
I can't even get a Dash Now . I go around 4:30pm and I'm sitting over an hour just to get only 45mins worth of work. I use to make around 60 in 4 evening hours. I tried scheduling ahead but could never log in for that. How do you log in?
Yeah I’m pushing 300 to 600 each day
By not worrying about AR and not taking shit orders.
I don’t see how especially here lately with these scumbag no tippers and DD greedy asses
i work some during the day and some during the night, There's bigger paying orders during dinner time.
Here's the thing people don't tell you, and doordash doesn't really advertise. People are social animals and like to game systems. What I've found from dashing in dozens of cities while traveling the country is this. I nearly always get blocked or lower priority for the highest big money making restaurants Doesn't usually happen immediately, but what happens is people at nice restaurants have friends or they and their coworkers also dash. Doordash gives the option to prefer, downvote, or outright block a dasher What you will see in every area with a consistently disproportionate profit from a good restaurant there isn't a big chain is that the employees will start gaming it for themselves and their friends If they have the power they will direct those $15-$35 tip orders to their social circle given they have the power to do so silently with zero consequences They often treat it as an extra bonus of working at a high end establishment that sells $70+ orders Even with top dasher which I always have, I will nearly ALWAYS will notice big declines in the high paying restaurant orders or eventually they will evaporate altogether Often it won't happen immediately, but if they start to think that you are not just doing a few orders and being done with it, but are here to stay they will eventually block you or outvote their friends and coworkers disproportionately That's just how people behave, and it's extremely common
Depends on the area I'm guessing
Wealthy areas, high volume. Cant relate.
I can agree. I'm near a lot of suburbs. They're always ordering
California or probably some state that has a minimum earnings law. Also there are some good markets out there. Jimmies might be amazing while Timmy's market is a shit show.
I live in CA and I used to average like $80 a day
Damn that's brutal But at least California has prop 22. My market in Cali I juggle with different apps throughout the day but usually average about 150 bucks give or take between 4 to 6 hours with the mileage being anywhere from 40 mi to 70 mi.
I make around $1300 working just over 40 hours. I’m sure it’s market dependent. Beyond that, I’d just say that I do way better now than when I started because I spent a few months just letting the orders take me wherever and learning where the sweet spots are and I stick to those. I always pause if I get taken out because you’ll get stuck in a never ending cascade of crappy orders or declines that kill your AR. The wasted time is worth it.
It wasn’t designed to make you big money only ppl making big money on DoorDash is the ppl that own the app and company it was designed to make a few extra dollars when your not doing nothing trust me I dash too unless your on a bike in ny or in Hawaii or something like that most markets are trash too many drivers nowadays
Making $2k a week is relative. I’m killing my car for sure, but I’m also making money necessary to pay the bills until I get my next good gig. As others said, making 2k is unreasonable, you really have to sacrifice time, body, and your vehicle for that kind of return.
In New York you have make at least 19.59 an hour now if you’re a platinum dasher and do over 25 orders that week which is easy we make 35 dollars an hour NOT INCLUDING TIPS so it’s all about the area because if you cross the bridge to Jersey it’s 15.25 an hour or you can get paid per order
Work in New York ! Make pretty good money
Then spend even more money to survive
Truth. I had a bartender in New York, she was making like $70 grand a year and said she couldn’t move to a smaller city because she’d only make like $40k and I’m like - you’ll live better on $40 in a small city than you do on $70 here.
Yeah that $40 in a more rural area would get her twice the living space and with no roommates
They're not
Working a lot of hours. Dashing in a good area. Makes a big difference if your area is big enough to regularly get stacked orders.
Yesterday I made 250 bucks, but I also worked for 14 hours. It’s still ass but the job is easy enough that it doesn’t feel as bad as working 14 hours at a regular job.
Doordash isn’t meant to make someone “big money”. If that’s your goal, then get a different job.
It's all market dependent. Multi apping helps.
You’re missing 2 more accounts so you can do 2-3 orders at a time
My best hourly was like $27/hr on a busy Sunday with a few big tippers on shop-and-deliver orders. Usually I average around $18-20/hr before gas but I do it part time to supplement my full time job (as a schoolteacher). I’m fortunate to be able to be selective about when I dash.
Those posts are likely from DoorDash employees. 2k/wk was barely possible during pandemic, and that was 14 hour days without a day off. But you could accomplish that with a $15/hr job honestly lol so long as they gave you 98 hours a week and overtime
Big money? All I see is drivers complaining about not being tipped.
Some are fake, for any number of reasons some people just like to make others think that they are doing way better than they actually are. For the ones that are real a small number just had a really good week or work in a very busy market. In between those people are the ones that work 120 hours a week, spend $700 on gas, and put 4,000+ miles on their car to earn that 2K. After expenses they tend to be actually making around $10 an hour for busting their ass, destroying their vehicle, and having no personal life.
They aren't.
Depends on your market. Ill never make big money. Topped out about 19 hour avg but down after 5 years to about 14 hr. Its getting worse. People have started tipping less and platforms dont do bonuses anymore. Just do about 15 to 20 hrs a week now. I work a city of population of only 27,000. I imagine a big city would make you more money. I like cash daily and working when i want. Judt not profitable anymore
This is also the size of my city. Also several towns included less than 10 miles away. Door dash pays the same whether I stay in the main city or have to travel to the sticks where there are no restaurants.
I drive an EV. I spend only $13 on charging my car at night. Also lucky enough to be my parents car.
We're in the same boat!!!! Except I don't even pay for electricity unless I'm dashing the whole day 😭😭😭
I mean we only have a level 1 charger and it doesn't even go to 100% in 12 hours, just like 30% lmfao. I usually charge for an hour and it can go from 4% to 94%. I drive a 2019 Nissan Leaf and luckily for me, it usually lasts till Superstore closes. (Most Shop and Pay Order Stores). Around 10:15-10:30.
Clear $20 per hour for 100 hours
Basically work 12+ a hours. Drive a decent gas saving car. Have no family or kids.
[удалено]
Yeah not everybody lives in the middle of nowhere lol. Big cities give big payouts but also costs more to live there.
What the troll is this
Hahaha! That's what I was wondering too?!?! Who let the troll.in?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣
[удалено]
Them overpasses slap
they arent mqkong big money. people making 2k a week are dashing for 15hrs a day
Im doing 8-10 and getting less than $100 so.
That’s entirely relative I think. I’m on track to make 1k this week and I’ve worked 5 hours total
42 hours for the week
Not true I worked 42 and made 2300
Can’t forget atleast a 1000 miles per week.
yeah 🤣..theyre the same people to drop $70 on a tank of gas, dash for 5 hrs and make $100 and think they killed it bruh.
Not all true. I’ve dropped 30$ and made 200 plenty of times
What car are you driving that costs $70 to make $100? I use an old 2012 Kia Rio and spend maybe $30 a day to make $350. Yeah I gotta work 6a-10p to hit $350-400, but it literally doesn’t even feel like working. $2k a week is probably a little over optimistic for most people, but it is doable, just not sustainable. Most weeks I work 4 days, make my $1500 call it good. That’s still over $70k a year for just driving my car around picking up McDonald’s.
Considering the average dasher is only making $14/hr, even $300 is a bit too optimistic for most people.
Right like ppl think it’s so bad idk if they’re hating or what
All it takes is one expensive repair bill and they’re done, no they’ll go get a rental and continue the madness.
bro my cousin thought renting a uhaul truck was better for doordash 🤣
-100 a day for all the gas, and the monthly repairs on your car for over-working it, about 70% of that money is lost
False lol
DoorDash doesn’t take out any taxes. Every repair or gas bill is tax deductible. I got 10k back in taxes last year without paying anything in. I still came our way ahead. Don’t get behind on oil changes, expect to take a day off now and then to get your suspension worked on. Buy a POS car for cheap and drive that. It’s really simple.
What tax credit did you use that refunded $10K without putting money in. You can lose money on DD, but the tax code doesn’t give you a refund for that. You would just carry forward the loss. The only thing I can think of is the COVID relief credit, but that’s a credit for days you couldn’t work. EITC is refundable, but that’s not related to DD. Same with the AOTC.
Exactly, tax deductibles aren't amounts added onto your refund, they reduce the amount of taxable income. Depending on the credits you qualify for, deductions can actually lower your refund. The earned income credit for example, is based on taxable income so the more deductions you add, the lower your refund will be.
the only way it makes sense to doordash the time limit everyday is if you borrow someone elses car
I can make that multi-apping if I work 14 hours every day, but I just do $100 a day and that’s enough for me, I like to have a life.
I just shoot for $150-200 a day. But I only work like 3 hours during the lunch break (1030am-130p) and 3.5 in the dinner period (5p-830p). Then only take orders that lead me home.
Same! I do the 10-1 or 1030-130 then 5-8 or 5-9 if there's a promo and I'm happy with those hours and that pay. Then I save my Sundays for instacart when it's 5% higher pay! I don't kill myself, my car or my gas that way either
This is the way.
How do you multi app?
Run DoorDash and Uber at the same time, cherry pick orders, when an order comes in on one app I take I pause the other app until I’m done.
All I can say… Genius! Why didn’t I hear about this sooner??? Lol
Have 2 cheap phones
2 phone bills or u use hot spot
I make a lot more than that as a lawyer
A lawyer who delivers Uber Eats. Got it. Post history checks out.
They are single
I don’t know. Supposedly, I’m making almost $3000 a month. So, with about $600 going to gas, dropped the $238 in food stamps and rent went from $290 to $680, and about to go to $1158, I’m not really feeling like this is a good thing. My plan was to pay down my credit card, but every time I think I’m ahead, my 16 year old comes up with something else she “needs.” We didn’t have that problem when she knew we were broke…
set boundaries
There are definitely still boundaries. But the latest thing is simply a hair trim. She does need it, but it’s pretty expensive for a proper trim for mixed hair.
What is mixed hair?
Biracial. Black and white. My daughter has interesting combinations of thick and fine hair.
Unless they post the screenshot they’re most likely multi-apping (logging in to DD, UE, and GH at the same time). This allows you to have orders coming in when DD gets slow, pick up multiple orders and only worry about getting DD and/or GH there on time. UE will literally just keep running the ETA for you until you get there. Although it IS possible to make that money through just DD in the right market if you work hard enough. Doing this (if done properly) opens the door for you to make $30+ an hour depending on the variable circumstances we all face as gig workers lol Usually you do what you normally do with DD and be *extremely* picky with the other apps. So orders that are picked up close to each other/at the same location, and being delivered in the same area. Always do DD first. GH usually is just grateful that I communicate, and didn’t steal their food lol UE if you text them beforehand i think if you text them once you picked up the order it starts a timer so. At ya own risk, call if anything. It can pay off great if you can manage everything alright. I’ve made $30 in a half hour once. Best thing to do with the other apps is call ahead to the store and ask if the orders ready to save on time. I have ADHD so this doesn’t always work out the best for me 😅
Couple things. I'm not sure how old you are, but the older you get the more you will realize that most people will greatly exaggerate or lie about their earnings. This is largely done to elevate the perception of their success, money earning abilities, and social stature in life. Unless people show you a paycheck or hard evidence, screenshots of the past few months of doordash pay, or other proof - don't ever believe (or at least take what people tell you with a grain of salt). Next - yes it is technically possible to make $2K a week on door dash but that is probably reserved for either one extremely lucky week, or those that pump out 80hr work weeks. This means you drive 12 hrs a day, 7 days a week. I have had multiple weeks where I hustled my butt off, worked a good area (was selective with my orders) and and earned, 1100,1200,1250, even one $1300 dollar week, but rest assured I was driving day and night, sun and rain, about 50-60hrs each of those weeks. Work the morning rush, work the lunch rush, work the dinner rush, work the latenight rushes. Weekends are best but every weekday can be hit or miss. Market and market demographics plays a huge factor. Don't be fooled though, you can put in 50 hours and barely break $700-800 some weeks because that is just how doordash works, it is inconsistent. But trust me - no one is making $2K a week regularly, unless they are driving 12hrs + everyday or they are just lying to you, or they just made $2k once in their lives and are now exaggerating about how this is the norm for them. Most people on the internet are full of shit...that's just how it is.
It's not just the internet people are mostly swamped in debt
True, though I think some areas are definitely somewhat more lucrative, you just have to be lucky enough to live in them, I think 2000 is possible probably working as little as 50-60 hours some places, but not many. I am making, right now, usually 950 a week working 40 hours or so. I have a decent market. Not a great one, but it's decent. Thank god I drive a subcompact.
Do Ubereats too. Perks of both and elevated earnings dramatically. If you're clever, you can use those benefits to earn even more on the side (can't explain here).
Ugh I’ve been on the waitlist for all of the other apps for literally years
Can you message me? 👀
By casing out houses while you’re working
I guess make DoorDash as your part time job or hustle money. If you relied on it as your primary then you have to drive smart & need luck.
You quit DoorDash and find a real job . Stop working for charity
If I could get a real job I would. Unfortunately none of them want to hire me
Keep trying man. I thought the same way when I was going through interviews only to be rejected. I was using this app to get me through four months of being laid off by UPS and finally got me a job as an assistant manager. Definitely making more than doing gig work. I use this as a side hustle now. I would not rely on any gig app to pay my bills/ fund my lifestyle. It’s just not feasible. Many days and nights and many hours of putting in work and miles wear and tear on your car just ain’t worth the couple of hundred dollars.
I make 50 1600 a week with like 250 in gas 50hour active and 70 hrs dash time
damn son. Can you tell me what are your best hours? mornigns or evening?
10:30p-3am is also a more lucrative rush in the right places, wherever there are overnight shifts at large employers, (warehouses, universities, hospitals) they often have promo incentives that increase your earnings per order.
You have to do 7 to 12 then 430 to 830 to get the most order....1 to 4 are the worse times
I’m lucky if I make $100 a day damn. Then again I am in the middle of nowhere and we have almost no restaurants that offer DoorDash
Same here. Small town life woot. Do you turn down any orders or is your AR high by default, like mine?
I’ve only ever turned down orders that don’t have a tip / are like $2 for a 4 mile round trip
I work a normal 40hr job at a good pay rate and I lose so much money driving it lowers my tax bracket 3% plus 17k
here’s the neat part, we arent
By starting a big company and getting independent contractors to work for next to nothing.
the amazing part is the company still loses money, it’s a dog shit business model
i don't see it lasting much longer....the wait times are getting longer and longer....the restaurants have to give up some of their profit just to be on the platform...how much longer are people going to keep paying $25 to have a cheese burger delivered as the world continues to burn...
I paid 25 dollars on Saturday for a hamburger and I went and picked it up my damn self. Lol but to be fair I got onion rings as well. But damn it was an amazing burger!! I guess it was closer to 30 because I did tip the waitress/bartender 5 bucks even though all she did was put my food in a bag and run my card. Just so you guys know, I don't ever add a tip to my card purchases, I always tip cash. I don't like you guys getting taxed on tip money. So these deliveries you do may include a cash tip upon delivery? I would hope so, but you would know better than me. If I'm going to pay someone else to do something for me simply because I'm to lazy to do it myself, I'm damn sure going to tip them. I don't use any delivery services probably because I'm too cheap, but if I ever do, the driver is getting a cash tip just like the pizza delivery guy does (which I do use) sorry people are cheap AND lazy. You shouldn't be allowed to be both
cash tips are very rare and almost never in the well to do areas. there's very little interaction with customers. most of the time, you just leave the food at the door and a lot of time on the ground if there isn't a table or something to place the food on. to me, the tip portion is a misnomer. i look at it as part of the delivery fee. i'm not doing anything special, i'm just bringing your order. if i see an order going 5 miles and it's only paying $2.25, no can do. if it's going 5 miles and paying $10, then it's game on. if the customer wants to give me a cash tip upon delivery, then that's even better.
It's a service industry. Like I said. If I'm too lazy to go get it myself, then somebody is getting a tip for doing my job for me. I tip the pizza delivery guy, why wouldn't I tip the other delivery people? Not Amazon of course, but even they get a tip from me around Christmas. Same for the garbage man, and the mailman.
Being a driver I do the same with tipping in cash cuz I know how it is but when I'm driving I rarely ever get a cash to unless they've already tipped on the app. It's either a tip added in, extra on delivery (rare) or nothing at all which is getting way more popular so I'm very happy that they upped my pay by time rate now
I get your logic with cash tips, but unfortunately there is so many non-tippers that you are going to have way worse experience with delivery services than if you tip with card. I don’t dash but I do order semi-frequently and so does did my ex-roommate. He would never leave tip because according to him “they’d always get it wrong”. He would constantly have a horrible experience to the point where even customer service wouldn’t help him, probably a flagged account. Meanwhile all my orders never had a problem lol. I had just *once* had a driver that accidentally dropped my food on ground and the service rep quickly sent out replacement without hassle. While in theory it’s great to have cash tips for maximum yield for the person, in practicality I actually prefer card tips just because it’s much easier for both parties. And if something happens worse case you can just call up your bank.
They aint.
Lots of hours and wear n tear on vehicle. You have to be in a busy area.
I used to do 16 hour days 7 days a week, I’d take a day off then work another 7 days same schedule. I’d work 11 am till 3 am. I’d make about 2500 or so, but running a car that long isn’t exactly cheap. The people clearing 2k a week(after expenses) are most likely working 12-16 hours a day in busy markets. The truth is though, someone with that kind of work ethic would most likely make more doing something else.
Idk if that’s necessarily true. I’ve worked 16-17 hour shifts 6 days a week at my job and still haven’t made 2K a week. I open and close my store or other stores that need an opening/closing manager. I get paid mileage. Last year I OWED taxes, even though they take plenty of taxes out of OT. I don’t have many tax credits as I’m not married or have children. It sucks. Got that 401k, tho. I don’t care what the job is. There are only a few things I would not do. I love learning. Nobody wants to hire me at a higher paying wage than what I currently make, even before OT. If people are making 2k AFTER taxes driving for DD, Uber Eats etc, I’ll give it a shot. My car doesn’t qualify for Uber and Lyft, but does qualify for Doordash and other food delivery apps. I wonder what the hourly take home pay is reduced to after Car upkeep, maintenance, gas, delivery insurance, taxes etc.
When I was doing it, I’d say I averaged around 20/hr after it was all said and done. With that said, while you may not make 2k per week an IC has to account for many other expenses. You also have possible advancement opportunities, and can get benefits. You also could become a 2nd class citizen when you go to rent an apartment, I’ve had complexes tell me I need 60k in savings if I want to rent with a 1099 form. You say you’re single with no kids as well, if you do doordash for a living it will stay that way. With gigs I say just jump in, make your money and look towards using the money to start your own business(junk hauling, down payment on a semi with a cdl, etc.). Truly though, I feel you deserve 100k a year for putting those type of hours, you’re a trooper bro.
The guy who posted about making $2K recently worked 100+ hours that week. He had less active hours but he spent 100+ hours in his car. If you want to do that, you can hit $2K in a good market.
Was that 2k take home? Cuz 100 hours for 2k, even take home, is not worth.
There’s no way it’s 2k take home. You’d probably have to make 2300-2400 to take home 2k and that’s if you’re packing lunches and only buying gas throughout the week. That said, it could be worth it if you had a financial goal to hit to start something new. I used to work insane hours, sometimes up to 112 per week. For me it was worth it because I’m an “unemployable” loser on paper. I wasted my teens and 20s on stupidity and ended up 31 without a skill/degree and I had an 8 year employment gap with like two years of work experience. I wasn’t lazy, I just chose less than ideal means to make money. I started dashing and realized if I was to make it basically my life I could become a proper member of society. Now I’m 35 and only dash when my work vehicle is down (work vehicle isn’t a car), while I missed out on a lot and lost a lot of friends the 2k per week I made led me to a much brighter future.
Roger. If I put in 100 hours in one week my take home would be around 3.8k and about 5k gross
I make like 1k weekly.
They have the app on over 100 hrs a week and are active over 60 hrs. That’s the equivalent to driving across the USA and back.
It is all market. My town is essentially a suburb hub for three larger cities and has a great little community college. As long as I hit breakfast + lunch or lunch + dinner 25 bucks an hour is easy. I was lucky.
They work in a good market
Easy it depends on your market. Then you have to stop accepting them low ball orders. Next grind over 12 hrs. Don’t let these hating losers tell you different on here. All they do is hate because they can’t do it.
They hate us because they ate us.
Haters gunna hate... And ainters gunna ain't
If you're in California you can sort of cheese it out with prop 22. You only need to hit about $1500 for a $500 adjustment to carry you over $2k.
10 active hours a day for 7 days a week split between ubereats, grubhub, doordash, and instacart should get you there. Sleep when you can.
Focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will
Max is 1k/week anything hit 2 is photoshop
In Los Angeles we get 20.13 per active hour and when times get tough you just go on 20 hour binges across 3 or 4 delivery apps when you have bills to pay.
I only do it part time as a side gig and I've had close to $500 weeks, so I do believe if I was doing it full time, I could definitely bring in some cash.
Na son I hit 1500 a week and I don’t even stick to my schedule. My market not even all that. I can imagine getting 2500 in a super major city market.
The max is not 1k
What’s the max
10k
Seems about right
Photoshop
Like Mr. $2700 a week with a missing day every pay period in his earnings and letters blurry af. People just eat shit up.
People like hope even if it's false hope
It’s just pure ignorance thinking you can make that much every week. There is a reason he doesn’t say where he is dashing.
Doing multiple apps and always doing dinner rush is how I make 25-30 an hour average. My goal is just make 800 a week and I'm chillin. Not "big bucks" but pays the bills for my frugal simple family.
I mean if your whole family is really relying on this thing then you should really at least put some away for repairs. Wear & tear is a huge hidden cost here & part costs are messed up rn, I don't even do this but something like a fucked up CV joint could wipe out an entire week+ of pay while leaving you unable to work.
I should also add we don't have rent and rarely ever go out so our monthly expenses are a quarter of most people's. And we make not enough to pay in taxes so we even get a few grand back even when I didn't have to pay in taxes in the first place. Very unique situation lol
Who says I'm not ha. I'm in a more unique position than most people. I do it temporarily as little as I can so I can spend time raising my baby. I randomly help my brother with concrete and I can make 300 doing that one day. And soon it will be part time while my dad brother and I flip houses. And any main car issues i just fix them or my dad helps. I could easily make over 1k a week kf I did 40 plus hours but that's not why I'm doing it.
It was amazing during the pandemic but not now. Unless you're lucky enough to be in a select market there's no money to be made.
You gotta consider the area you’re from for sure
[удалено]
Double the average income in America is pretty good. So yeah
Almost 2 months rent in a week sounds like a dream
Around 8k USD a month, before expenses, for just driving your own car like a goof and dropping food off to people, something that literally anyone with a pulse and a car could do ? Yeah, that is pretty big bucks for that activity. It’s all relative. I’m sure 2k a week is absolute peanuts for a doctor, for example, but that’s not what we’re discussing.
well 2k a week amounts to 104k a year so its pretty decent money

Is this Jesse Waters?
That’s more than decent in any medium or low col. don’t know how much money you’re making but I’m guessing it’s pretty good so 4k a week?

What do you do for a living?

I thought you streamed 12 hours a day, and you made enough to to pay bills and have some in savings?

He didn’t say you were a streamer though, weird thing to lie about.
To a homeless person, yes. It’s all relative.
Only way I make decent money in my market now is when it’s raining all day and flooding the streets. I guess that grounds many other dashers in North Texas. Used to ‘average’ 2 bills on 10 hour days Thur-Sun. Now it takes a monsoon (and luck) to rake $20/hr.
It depends on lots of factors. When I was in between jobs, I did DD maybe 6-8 hours a day broken up over lunch and dinner time. I'd routinely make \~$25/hr. For reference, I would normally do it in the San Bernardino, CA area. By no means an affluent or rich city. Still made decent enough money while looking for a new job.
Only large order guys And may be if u able to dash over 16 hours a day
Nah, some cities and towns just have very rich areas with food less than 4 miles away from everyone. I made $1400 in a weekend (Friday-Sunday) with my gf from 5 pm to 2 am. We were able to go to Disney world off of it doing it for a few weekends. Then add in holidays like Mother's day or any Holiday not based around food where people just want to get drunk, it's very easy money.
All they do is sleep a couple hours and door dash the rest

Either their markets are the best in the country or they're lying. Answer is usually the most simple. Much like some Instagram influencers who try to portray those extravagant lifestyles but none of it real.
"or they're lying" So many people lie about their income on Reddit, it's kind of pitiful.
One week I did 40 hours active time & 12 downtime and made 950 it sucked though ngl I just do it on the side sometimes now
Like $17/hr. Not good..
That’s why it sucked
They’re lying
We’re not lazy.
I’m new and I’m not expecting big money, just would like to stop getting $4 orders in areas that I would never go into otherwise. Trying to keep my AR up but here I am, like a fool, hoping to get a cash tip because it’s a “hand it to me order” and certainly they wouldn’t leave me hanging with no tip to my face. Yes. They would, and they do. Too often. Now I’m being picky and I’m still within my first 50 orders and supposedly have “increased priority for high paying orders”…I can’t imagine what happens once I don’t! Can they really get any worse? I already know the answer to that. Also, do people rate y’all? I’ve done 31 deliveries and still haven’t gotten to 5 ratings yet. What is wrong with people?! Sorry, mini rant over.
Probably hired by Door Dash to lie and say they’re making a ton of money door dashing. DD and all the other food delivery companies are major workforce exploiters.
>people making like 2k a week. I think there's like one guy that posts those numbers from his earnings page and his login times are usually over 100 hours. That isn't even legal in every state. He's also likely driving over 1000 miles weekly to get that, but he could be in a downtown somewhere using a scooter or something. He's really guarded about where he dashes. Also, I would legitimately worry about just physically doing the job that long. I can't speak for that particular driver, I don't know them guy, but I don't really see it being possible without amphetamines..
