    Dashers this is great advice. DO NOT accept any order under $3.50 When these trash orders are declined enough times doordash will increase the amount just to get someone to take it. So if we all work together and decline them we can force the amount up to an acceptable amount.

    I read a lot of your experience in DD mainly because that's what I do. I do it because I love to serve people and also make tips. In my experience it's a fun an rewarding side gig. For the person who got 98 tip, that was a generous thing your customer did for you. I would be happy if customer at least leave a generous tip of $7-10 tip, but some customers don't have a car and the extra money to spend because they are on a fixed income, but they are worth serving too, and they are just as important as anyone else. I usually do good on a weekly income and I don't sweat the low tippers or the no tippers, because it usually is fair wages at the end of a week. God Bless you All and hope things get better for you.

    The IRS calculation for business mileage reimbursement for 2023 is $0.655/mile (total cost of ownership & operation). So for a 2.8 mile delivery the car alone costs $1.834. That means the driver earns only $1.666 for a 10-15 minute delivery. That does not include 'dead-heading' to this job and to the next job. Now banks are telling auto dealers they will *not* lend to uber, lyft, doordash, etc. drivers. That's because the cars they are getting back are two-year old cars with 80,000 miles plus on the ODO.

So, in this case you are getting penalized for rejecting low-ball orders.

Had it changed. But for WHATEVER reason.. they took FOREVER to get these orders to me. It was close to closing. And I was the only person there. I had already communicated with both customers. And the app asked me to basically decline the order. I didn’t want to bc I had already waisted so much time. But in turn I was very late. Luckily my second order was a dasher. And she completely understood and tipped me extra. I thought she would be mad.. anyway I digress. So I noticed that my rate went to 50% right after the orders. Bc it was late. Not due to myself.. so should I have done what the app asked? I can’t remember the verbiage. But it said something about not having a penalty. Or keep the order and be penalized? What is this? Can anyone explain? And what is the best way to do that? Like if u would of said I didn’t want to do the order anymore.. Wendy’s was already making the food and I already told the customers I was waiting for it?

    @@shawnaf that message from doordash is a new feature. If that message comes up, you could drop the order without any penalties but you won't be paid for the order. Usually, when you're in a situation where you're waiting a long time for the order but you still intend to take it, hit the link at the bottom of the order that says something about waiting for a long while. It'll bring up a checklist where you could check off why you've been waiting. From what I've been told, this will give an explanation to doordash as to why things are taking so long and should lessen the chance that your on time percentage goes down. I hope that helps.

    I am in Dallas. I always have both Door Dash and Uber Eats up and running. As soon as I accept an order I immediately go to the other app and pause (DD has a pause. UE you go offline). Acceptance rate needs to be 50% or better on DD to get higher paying orders. UE doesn't have an acceptance rate requirement. Also, there is a certain culture that regularly doesn't tip. You'll figure it out as you go but I am wary of these restaurants. McDonalds is ok during peak hours but horrible after hours when there are like 3 people working the shift. Only time I accept a $3-$3.50 order is at the end of my shift and it has to be on my way back home.

    The delivery apps are trying to combat cold food which is the biggest customer complaint. In order to do this they are sending drivers way early to restaurants even before the order has been started and before the restaurant has clicked "call for driver" on their iPad. Contrary to what you might think , they also now send the closest available driver to the restaurant. This combination means we are constantly waiting for food and it's only going to get worse to the point where it's no longer worth our time to do food delivery. The food delivery companies could not care less about the drivers or merchants, they only care about the customers

I have to schedule shifts because it rarely stays "busy" more than a few minutes. I average $20-$25 per hour. I do pay by time for the lunch shift and usually end up switching to pay by order about ¾ way through the dinner shift.

    @austinallen5243 it really just depends on your area. I'm in an area that rarely gets a peak pay. So I'm not missing out on that. And I'm also in an area where the majority of the restaurants are along a busy road with a lot of stop lights. At $12/hour (might be different in your area) that's $1 every 5 minutes from the time you accept the order until you complete it. So even a short delivery that normally pays $2.25 from doordash, usually ends up $3 or a little more. Plus at busy times, like lunch, it helps with wait times at restaurants. Just my experiences. May be different for you.

    Small town DoorDash user here, I live within 2 miles MAX of everything & I always wondered if DD payed you guys anything at all on top of our tips. It’s interesting to see the comments knowing that your area makes a huge difference. One thing I like about Uber eats is if the food comes to my house tampered with or if the driver is a complete dunce I can change the tip. Also the pro to that is I can give extra if the service is extra in anyway. If I ever see a DD driver stuck at let’s say chilis for more then 5 - 10 minutes I text them letting them know it’s okay on my end but that I understand there time is money an we usually talk trash about the restaurant & that seems to alleviate some of the stress. Those orders I tip well on knowing that it puts the driver out of commission for a bit. So far in my town all the drivers have been great & because I know that some people like me don’t like dealing with people face to face I just tell them to leave it at the door so they can just go without some awkward hand off 🤣 thanks for uploading this video to give both sides some insight to DDing

    That is incorrect. GH dispatched offers immediately to drivers with no buffer. They always did this until March of 2022 when they improved their dispatch system with help from Amazon. DD and UE have similar dispatch system and they both work the same. There is a small buffer on each order before it is sent out, but not that much. The reason for this is drivers decline offers and driver desirability pay increases with time to increase the base pay on an offer. It is just random luck when you get the offer in comparison to when the order is ready. Since DD has so many active drivers it is hard to get offers so people are accepting low ball offers for various reasons. DD drivers aren't kicking around bad offers like we used to in the past with fewer drivers which is why you see less DD offers in the past 6 months. If you do get a DD offer chances are you are the first or second driver to see it. The offers on DD get snatched up very quickly these days. This is due to the glut of drivers active on the platform.

Last week I waited for more than five minutes at a restaurant 13 times, 12 of those were for doordash. My split was approximately 60% Uber Eats, 30% Doordash, 10% GrubHub. Full disclosure, I've only been doing GrubHub a couple weeks, so I don't have enough data on it to be significant. I've done over 500 doordash and a little over 200 Uber Eats, so the sample size on those is big enough for me to trust my own opinions. Whatever combination of variables that exist in my market, the result is I often wait at restaurants on doordash orders, while the other platforms I just walk in and pick up the bag.

    Tips should be placed by the person who orders when they order and the total expected amount should be shown to you. That would save people's times and force people who place orders to raise their bids if nobody picks their order. Drivers should also be able to set a minimum in their apps, so the system could warn customers if there's no driver around willing to accept the proposed tip. Can't believe they don't have something like that in the system already. Same with Uber. You try to get a short trip, the app defines the amount, you see there's a driver or two nearby, they never pick your ride because it's not enough profit for them. Meanwhile they stay there without working for a very long time and you're unable to raise the amount you want to pay so they find it fair to come to you. I had to walk with luggage 3 or 4 in the morning for about 4 Km, including roads without sidewalks, because I couldn't just add a bonus. Meanwhile I could see a couple of cars in the Uber map. 😬 Happy to know they're not punishing people for not taking orders if it's not worth their time.

But you ask deliverers if they'd like to be paid directly in the future and you're the one that sounds like a creep instead of them recognizing you want to cut the middle man while spending less while also letting them keep more. Same with Uber. Most drivers just want you to use the app instead of offering you a discounted deal for cash on the side (so they can also avoid tax). Uber is great for consumers in poor countries (at least in Brazil) but here in Europe it's VERY expensive for users, not profitable enough for drivers, difficult to find any driver available when you actually need one (when there's no buses going around, for example, because it's 3 AM). When I can, I just drive myself or take the bus. You can't get an Uber 3 AM even if you are willing to tip 10 euros where I live, on top of surcharge and regular cost. Specially if it's a short ride from your house to the train station. I had to drag my luggage a couple of times for a few Km on the street because of it. No taxis either.

I have a 6-slot drink carrier to keep the coffee warm (or cold, depending on the coffee drink), but they just _have_ to put it in a Starbucks bag for... reasons.

    good points ... but one thing i didn't hear you mention is the Acceptance Rate the Doordash app keeps reminding drivers every single time the app is started ... yes, we can skip / decline orders we don't want to take for any reason ... but that also lowers the our acceptance rate, which affects our overall performance according to Doordash standards ... however, i have also noticed that Doordash informs us of our AR as well as Customer Satisfaction 2 times when the app starts, once in the beginning and once when the early prompts stop showing up ... and the numbers given in the two prompts related to AR and CS differ greatly! in my example, on the 1st one i get %75 AR and 4.5 CS while on the 2nd one i get %95 AR and 4.7x CS ... which makes me laugh and interpret it as something wrong with the app's algorithm and so on ... but i also think maybe there's a good reason the app works that way!? dunno really ...

    yeah they keep saying "you dont get punished" and are independent contractors... probably not true. I worked for instacart ( just in store ) but so much stuff is crap about them... they lure people in like " oh make your own schedule'" .. no . youre working under management... they expect availability 6 days a week so you can be scheduled so its like any stupid job with a floating schedule and they do schedule random and split up any chance of a weekend. I live in a weird rural / suburban area but right next to the main drag and we have two towns like that within a mile or two of each other... when i look up my zip code to see available participants its like BK / MD ... Dunkin donuts etc. i guess it would be where theyre going because we technically have some boonies around here so i dont know. but thats a bunch of bullshit if they do have a secret system. oh well. I just want to be able to "dash now" and maybe pick up 10 bucks or like 100 bucks in a week i guess for now im just desperate.

    Another thing in the PEAK PAY PAY MODEL IT STATES PEAK PAY OFFERED IS IN ADDITION TO ORIGINAL OFFER WHEN ACCEPTING DELIVERY! Many times they insert PPay into the original offer and label it "peak pay " which is contrary to the defined Peak Pay model! Drivers beware !! Those extra bucks represent lots of money that ADDS UP!! It is very confusing especially when you think you got proper peak pay when you really didn't!

    That's a great point you made with double app dashing. I was going to give it a go, but would hate to have one of my busier apps get shut down for a few dollars. The what if I thought of, is say your double app dashing, and your 2nd app is sending you pick up orders that does not aligned with the first order and now your force to constantly decline. Now I believe in DD contract states, too much decline can get your app deactivate.

    A good thing to do if you are multi apping and you get two orders is don't confirm the pickup until you get both orders. I have done it numerous times even with long waits. I have even done Instacart shops (usually only a couple quick items), and wait to confirm the pickup until I have finished the shop. Doordash can't complain too much I have gotten stacked orders of a restaurant and a shop, like Walgreens, and they want you to pickup the food first. You just have to be smart and know your area and the places that they are sending you to. We are all about making money and maximizing the most we can get with our times.

    The biggest issue I have noticed this week is a serious decline in orders. The Federal Reserve has been trying to slow the economy to reduce inflation and I think people are getting the message to cut down on spending. On Uber Eats in Atlanta area it’s a dramatic drop. However, 90-95% of the previous level of orders weren’t worth taking anyway. I was desperate enough to take a $2.00 order from Chick Filet a half mile. Chick Filet can be fast, especially during non peak hours. I believe the weekend will still be good.

    I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I make an average of $10-15 per hour. Most deliveries I get are $6.50 for about 4-5 miles. BUT for being in Las Vegas, I NEVER get orders back to back even though it’s a 24 hr city. I’ve never seen a challenge, I don’t have the pay by order option, most order aren’t more than $8. RARELY get $10+ orders. Idk man. It’s crazy.

    It’s probably because you’re in Vegas and the market is so oversaturated especially with traffic and everything else
