maddogkilla1 It’s only pocket change if you treat DD as pocket change. I’ve seen screenshots of people in my multiple DD groups making $400, $500, upwards up to $1,600 PER week, which blowed my mind! The people who are making a couple hundreds with it are taking it serious. The people who are making let’s say $50 a week, $100 a week either aren’t taking it serious or don’t have enough time to put more time in it. I’ve learned this running multiple different businesses, you get out what you put in & there is no other way around it.

But to me, the time it takes to make that much at a lemonade stand is much more valuable spent elsewhere. Now replace lemonade stand with Door Dash.

With regard to kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIWVz8igkdmZobg.html , the info provided in this video isn't correct regarding having passengers. There is NOTHING stating this within Doordash TOS or their Agreements, so I have no idea WHERE he is getting his info. And if there is, please provide a link directly where it states this. Doordash does, however, state the following: help.doordash.com/dashers/s/ica-us?language=en_US IV. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES: Number 2. DOORDASH shall not have the right to, and shall not, control the manner or the method of accomplishing Contracted Services to be performed by CONTRACTOR. The parties acknowledge and agree that those provisions of the Agreement reserving ultimate authority in DOORDASH have been inserted solely for the safety of consumers and other CONTRACTORS using the DOORDASH platform or to achieve compliance with federal, state, or local laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof. HOWEVER, you definitely need to check your local and state laws regarding children in automotive vehicles. There are many restrictions, and with most states, leaving a child unattended in a car within a certain amount of feet you're away from the vehicle can be illegal. You cannot just park your car in the driveway, leave your kid in the car, lock the doors, and assume you can quickly run up to the house as freely as you think to drop off the food. And depending on the state, many parents are unknowingly breaking these laws. Doordash can easily deactivate you based on these laws while receiving a complaint with regard to this.

This! I let my two teenagers come along to help with orders and give them a cut of the money. For us it's play money and not a full time gig so i don't sweat splitting it with them. They enjoy the time they spend with me as we talk about all things nerd during the drive and it's nice to have a helping hand to hold orders so they don't tip over etc. On one order we did there was another dasher in the same restaurant we were picking up at, she had a HUGE order in two extremely large bags. A catering order with probably about 40 items in it and she hauled that shit by herself. If i ever get an order that huge I'd definitely want an extra pair of hands to make sure that got delivered safely.

Bravo. A good employee is 100 times more profitable than 1 customer is. Businesses have been so focused on the customer that they forget that the employees make their business run smoothly. A big part of this is the stress and metrics that owners place upon managers. Managers get so stressed out that they treat the employees like crap in fear of them losing their management position. Also the idea that all employees are replaceable is correct, but the cost of training and time to find an adequate replacement will cost that business thousands of Dollars. Yes without customers a business doesn't exist, but without employees most businesses won't exist either. Bad employees are a loss to a business however and do need to be fired ASAP. Bad employees make customers stop going to that business and cause a business to loss revenue. A perfect example of this is fast food restaurants. Why so many people don't go to fast food is because of the piss poor attitude that many workers have. These bad employees have no unique skill sets, but they feel that they should be making $25 per hour just because. You don't get paid based upon the work that you do, you get paid based on how profitable your production is. I will laugh when in 10 years most fast food restaurants will have robots preparing all food orders. Then those bad employees will make $0 per hour.

Great advice. Thanks!

Thanks very informative. I had no idea that you had to pay quarterly takes or had to track mileage.

Thank you. Only chg now is that you have to drive to a red area to even start. At least where i live.

First and most important mistake. You need to open a separate bank account for your door dash, grub hub, Lyft work. Rule number one. Never mix business money with personal money. Have all your Gig income go into the separate bank account. At the end of the year you can total up your income from each of the gig opportunities that you have used during the year. Pay for your gas and expenses for your vehicle out of the business bank account. Pay your car insurance, car payment, car wash and any other expense out of the business account. Speak with a tax preparer. The mileage deduction is not the only deduction that you're allowed to take. Treat this like a business. Remember you are your own best employee.

I appreciate the video,I'm always open to improvement

as a private contractor, how can doordash deactivate you for having someone else in your car when doing doordash or are hiring them to help you?

I asked support about having a passenger and they said I could have one as long as it didnt effect my delivery

Doordash can TOTALLY be a full time job! Especially NOW during the pandemic!! I consistently and daily make $150 (give or take a little) per day, in eight hours OR LESS. I never work more than 8 hours per day, and make more than I could at any retail job.

8:26 DD doesn't ask for your insurance. Only drivers licence. Also a great suggestion for delivery/pickup in a downtown zone is utilizeing a moped. A lot of time in a downtown zone it is small enough to navigate on city streets to get to the customer and then easy to park grab and go.

Speaking of tips...our tips are taxed when they are paid to us through the company, correct? I have vague memories of being able to tip at the door and the reason I did so was to keep this money out of the taxed income of the delivery person. I wish everyone who has delivery service would consider the implications of tipping on the app.

I'm not sure about that, but I do think a few customers have realized that the delivery driver gets more money if they tip at the door instead of in-app! (Example: one of my deliveries DD paid me $9 and the customer gave me $7 cash. $16 total! Easiest and best delivery yet)

@courtneyanderson2888

Any tip you receive is taxable...but if they give you cash there is no record of that tip. If they give it through the app there is a record. People who say you aren't taxed on cash tips are incorrect. You should be putting this amount on your tax forms. Many people wont put the cash tips into their gross income on their tax forms and then won't be taxed on it. Which is technically tax fraud. The IRS taxes everything. If you find $100 you are supposed to put that in your tax forms as income and be taxed on it. Its just how it is.

Thanks for the tips. I just watched a video of a guy who does a test to see how much he'd made 9-5pm door dashing. No disrespect to him but he drove a big jeep suv and also it makes no sense to try and do food deliveries the same schedule as an office job. It's apples and oranges of a schedule. Basically if im going to do door dash I try for either lunch time 11:30-1:30 or dinner 6:30-10pm I haven't been able to run multiple apps only because I 'm having trouble with postmates and caviar. Door dash was the only app that seemed to work without too many issues but I will try running multiple apps. I do it on a bike so my expenses are almost zero. I'll only need to replace the batteries in my lights more frequently now but as a side hustle or part time job it's not too bad. Being on a bike I haven't kept track of my miles. I only plan on doing this about 10-15 hrs. a week. Cheers!

Strategy is key for success in Doordash. I personally see drivers caring too much about their acceptance as you pointed out. Part of being an independent contractor is doing what works best for you in a given situation based on the outlines that you're given. With that being the case, you have to look at how doing something effects your bottom line.

@Gignation

Great points. Dashers need to make the best decisions for their business as an independent contractor, hopefully apps will continue to let them do so

Last Sunday I did doordash for 3 hours and made 50$ usd, one customer gave me 5usd tip in cash, when I was going to my way home I stop at the gas station and put those 5 in gas then I have a little more gas than when I started dashing meaning I didn't even use 5 usd in gas in the time I was dashing, i highly recommend a 4CL car if you are going to do doordash

Dont worry you're not the only one, I started dashing not knowing about taxes stuff I'm barely finding out!

doordadh does not check your insurance in onboarding, in fact even Uber Eats (without also being on Uber) no longer requires proof of ins (for on boarding). The DD and UE requirement is basically: you have to have been insured upon any claim (whether you or 3rd party)

I only dash when the offer extra pay so mostly just weekends and pull in on average 250 from just sat and sunday.

If you are a top dasher you can log into any delivery area whenever you want.

My husband dashes with me at night , I drive he goes in the restaurant and to customers house so I don't Have to keep turning on and off the car but currently I have a sprained ankle so he helps me a lot no body cares restaurants and customers said it's really cute that he helps me out...

Truth on the vehicle wear & tear...it got me last year. I also noticed (hopefully these are new drivers) drivers not using insulated bags....if nothing else the customer could tip you less when you bring them cold food. Shows you care about them and their safety.

Which one makes the most?

you mention scheduling. I am gonna have to schedule in another town about 50 miles away just to meet top dasher criteria so I can work around my schedules at my other jobs because there are no time slots available. But once I have the ability to dash when I want i can maintain the requirements

Base pay seems to be based upon the store. I had a customer order from a local chain restaurant just the other day, one store was walking distance to her house and the other about 5 miles away. The closer store charged a dollar more than the further one so she of course ordered from the further store. No, we can't see the tip amount until the order is delivered but what may not be evident to the customer is that they can change the tip amount for 24 hours after delivery, (I learned that from a Door Dash CSR). For me, I take all orders, big or small. What did that do for me? Made me a top dasher so I can dash in a grey zone, get priority orders over someone with lower ratings and I could be sitting next to him in the same parking lot. So yes, ratings do mean something. DD can also give a high rated dasher a monthly challenge like I just got; 450 orders between Jan 5 and Jan 31 for an additional $200. My highest week is $725+ for less than 30 hours. This week I am at $715 with 28 hours and still have tomorrow. Just a side hustle? I could make good money if I put in full time hours and so can you.

Thanks Jonathan for all of the useful information. You commented not accepting orders with long distances, yet I'm not sure how you identify it will be a long distance until you have accpeted the order. I have only been dashing for a few days, so I'm still very new to the platform. But in my experience so far, I am not able to see where the order is going up until I accept the order. Will you enlighten me as to how you are verifying order distance prior to accepting the order?

@@Gignation The next time I Dash, I will study the screen a little bit harder, but I am indeed thinking that my screen is different than what you have. At least from what I've seen so far. It essentially gives you an order (you can see restaurant, but it doesn't say where, just says Taco Bell, Wendy's, etc...)and it gives you the option to accept or not. Once you have accepted, you then can see where the restaurant is and what not. Yeah, it DEFINITELY does NOT show distances in miles. One order had me driving 12 miles...had I seen that, I definitely would not have accepted.
