Hi I would love some advice for scheduling a dash in different state. I’m visiting my family but I want to schedule for the following week for when I get home. My area always fills up quickly and you have to schedule or you won’t be able to dash. Also since I’ve been out of town, I won’t qualify for top dasher because obviously I haven’t done 100 orders for the month. Any idea what I can do…???

I just started dashing a few days ago and I accept all orders. I’ve worked north of Pittsburgh in Monaca and was making about $30/hr. I’ve seen 2 runs for $20+ most my runs are minimum $7 my $20+ orders had customer tips of $13 and $16 with base of $5 and peak of $3 and $4 base pay.

Here's one for ya. I took a dash for a customer that ordered food, deserts, and a shake from a franchise burger place. They had to substitute the desert due to stocking issues, which the customer was fine with. The shake machine was down as well, so I informed the customer which was fine with it. I felt lead to bless the customer with the same flavor of shake from the restaurant's competitor without telling the customer. At drop-off (no-contact), I sent a pic of her order with the shake in front. At completion, I received a $15 tip. I sent a txt to her explaining the shake, then bumped the tip to $30. Customer service is key to the business!

My biggest order over the 2 weeks was $65 for a 2 stack order about 8 miles total. But I’ve been getting a lot of $25 under 1 mile. I don’t cherry pick my orders as much as I do my area. I’ve found 2 spots that really work for me for about 2 hours a day. I found a nice zone hopping spot that keeps sending me back and forth with high paying orders. I found a really good breakfast spot that’s good for 4 hours on certain mornings. And biggest thing I’ve done is make friends with the merchants. you want to get in and out of restaurants fast, make sure you show gratitude to the people in control of your time.

I've noticed that in my area sparingly, but generally speaking, those times have fewer orders. The zone even turns gray for me bc now there are a lot of Dashers.

I get pretty decent tips almost regularly. I think just one time I didn't get a tip but I've been doing this for over a year and that was the only time. Last weekend I got a $20 tip which was very nice! I then got the same person and again $15. Also on two occasions I got a bonus $20 in person with two different people all because they really liked the communication I give. The one was like , I never ever had someone do what you did with keeping me updated and communicating. I am also in Pittsburgh and I love dashing in the GT/ ML area. Once you know all the roads. I feel that really helps with the navigation and faster delivery. My rating is at 4.98, 100 percent completion rate, 97 percent early and my acceptance is a bit lower at 49... I still get those stupid orders and doing this a year now I know when it's just an absolute no lol I really enjoy your videos and so agree with you! Communication and going that extra mile for your customer really makes a difference.

Hi Mike Thanks for your videos on providing tips for the gig hustle.

Thank you so much for your videos. I just started dashing on 2/20 and have gone four days in a row. Monday through Thursday. I’m improving every day and these tips really help. I live in a small town and there isn’t peak pay that I’ve noticed.

So in my area, Doordash doesn't offer peek pay during their dinner rush when I'm most commonly driving. They have peek pay usually from 1130pm to like 230am or something like that. The problem is that really, there's just not that many orders during that time. Or maybe there's just too many Dashers on the road. So when I'm Dashing from 4pm-12am, I'm usually just getting base pay and tips. And honestly the people using Doordash in my area 9.5/10 they just don't tip well, or at all! Uber on the other hand, they tip really really well, BUT there just isn't enough demand to pay the bills for me, so I have to rely on Doordash for the quantity of work. I still manage to make about 20/ hour most nights between 5 and 20, but I often find myself accepting orders I don't want just to get paid!

Same here, my zone is so saturated with drivers now that you can’t get on the schedule if you aren’t scheduling at least 5 days in advance. The map will say it’s not busy enough to dash ALL DAY besides 12-2, 5-8 and nights are hit and miss. But when you go online there’s tons of orders available, which means there’s a lot of drivers online even for the amount of orders we get here. Meaning there’s almost never any peak pay because there’s almost always more than enough drivers online. There is no real way to “get bigger orders” on DoorDash besides getting in the large order / catering program. Really surprised he missed the only legitimate piece of advice on how to get bigger/higher paying orders. If you’re not in those programs you can’t get any orders where the total is over $100, which are the ones that usually have really good tips. Once I got in that program I started getting around 1-2 $20+ tips every day, there’s almost always a business ordering food for their employees around 11am. I delivered a $1000+ catering order around Christmas and got over a $100 tip

Really doordash is only worth taking for orders just a few miles unless the order size is extremely large($50+ subtotal). Doordash doesn’t pay any different for a 1 mile order vs a long distance order. Not only are you doing a longer distance order for the same base pay, but you are spending more time driving back to your zone and gas expenses as well.

This lead me to rejecting “all” of my orders. Door dash sent me a message saying they weren’t going to send me anymore orders since I rejected every order which in turn, this also made my acceptance rate really low. Waiting for that order that was more than $1.00 per mile just never came. Anyways they gave me another chance. I now have a high acceptance rate but still no orders more than $1.00 a mile.

I have drove to Memphis, Germantown Bartlett Nashville and all surrounding areas just to find better paying deliveries but still have not found any over 1 dollar a mile. I work 12 -16 hrs a day and after buying gas , a pack of cigarettes and buying my little boy something to eat from Taco Bell 3 times a day I might end up with 20 bucks if I'm lucky. Some days the only way I can feed my kids is by working door dash. I wish someone would tell me where they actually pay 2 or 3 dollars a mile so I can go there and work. We actually have worked a full day, slept in the car, started working the next morning and I still cannot make enough money for it to average up to 1 dollar a mile b

Where I live, I stay within a zone, not necessarily near a "hotspot" but near the two restaurants that get enough orders for me to make a small bag. I do practice the dollars to mile ration, and I do try to only dash if I'm going to the area for something else as well. My avg is $9, 3 miles. I decline the $3.25, 12 mile orders ALL day!

Don't know how you keep up with all these apps and make videos, keep it up

Imo the strategy for these spaced out zones with long drives is to multi-app, if possible for your area, and try to get your orders heading in the same direction. It is just as efficient to have two pick ups in place A and two drop offs in place B as it is to have one drop off and one pick up at each location. When I'm heading back to the restaurants from out of zone, I'm trying to get good orders on both apps that go in the same direction. I also usually identify which direction out of zone is best for me. For example my current location it is best to pick up orders going west, because it increases my likelihood of being able to get another on the other app also going west.

I don’t want this four dollar one because it’s too far.

That will fluctuate all the time depending on how many orders you actually accept and decline. But completion rate only shows the rate at which you complete orders, meaning from when you accept an order to dropping it off at the destination and marking it complete in the app. That's why you're not seeing your completion rate change because you're most likely finishing all orders you accept anyways. And it's stated in the policy that AR will not get you deactivated if it drops too low. But the CR will.

My rule of thumb is if the dollars are double the miles to drive, it's a fair delivery.

I too have been dashing for just over a month. Where I live there are quire a few areas that match your 'spider web' description pretty accurately. At first I was accepting orders that were averaging out $1/mile, and somehow keeping my income at or slightly above $20/hr, but now I'm seeking at least $2/mile. I like that you got $14 tips for driving out to the edge of the spider web, I have managed three tips of $10 now but most are in the $2-4 range.

Most common orders I get is 8-12$ with the highest being 20-23

Peak pay is rare in my area 2 is max but typically 1 and only for graveyard shift so like 1am to 5am time-frame

I am sure many have figured this out but i hadnt and had not seen it but i ended up with 2 pizza bags. Mc donalds bags and other large bags don't fit in regular dasher bags. But stand the pizza bag up on its side, open flap at the top and the big bags slide right in.

In my city we hardly ever see peak pay unless it gets busy and they are short of dashers. Then it's usually only $1. And I have never seen a challenge bonus. I never even knew they existed!

Average Order in my area is 3-7 miles for $7-$12. Best I’ve ever had was 4.8 miles for $17.50.

One of the issues I've run into is my town (250k people) is oversaturated with dashers. You have to schedule to even dash, and the schedule is always 100% full. The only way I can dash in my hometown is by being a "top dasher" so I have to keep my acceptance rating above 80% to even qualify for that. So, unfortunately, declining doesn't really seem to be an option for me unless I want to spend a crap ton on fuel to go to the next big city (an hour away)

You still can get top dasher and have a percentage below 80%. I go from 50-60% acceptance rate & I'm a top dasher.

@@darkrashan I'm guessing bc the criteria for everything else is high it might have to do with the shop & delivery orders. If you complete 7 then you have access to dash anytime.

@@KateKosmo I did see that. Thank you. I got an email about the whole completing seven thing so that is something I'm definitely going to be looking at

For awhile I was getting $12 orders for a mile with zero tip and then it stopped. Might have been a fluke or system malfunction but it was nice while it lasted.

I dashed earlier today mostly all low paying orders. But when I went out later on in the evening 14 Wal Mart order from the house. Then again I live not far from 7 restaurants wal mart and a grocery store

I’m brand new so I’ve been taking 1.40 -1.60 per mile to get my acceptance rate up there. Only been seeing $1 bonus here but it’s rural.

we recently started and we had some already had $10 orders in certain areas without the red card!! it all depends on the customers because most of the orders are from as low as $3 and NO tips to be dropped off at 10 miles out😞

Average 8-10$ for 3-4 mile ratio. Best is 20-25$ for 10 or 11 miles in Oceanside, CA, for me at the moment. My marketplace, unfortunately, is dense with traffic, so time to complete larger orders won't get you your sweet 25 plus dollars an hour.

North area from Tampa, I do ok.. I get between $6.50 to $12.00 order's sometimes. I only do this like 3 hours during lunch and dinner time. Long as I make $50 a day.. then my goal is set. all I really need. Gives me the ability to either stay at 60K a year or push myself to 72k a year. Being Retired Army is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! 😀😀😀😀😀

I'm in R.I. My average high order is around $13, but my highest was $43. It was four deliveries in one order.

Hi. Question: how to deal with incoming orders while you're taking care of your orders. I have so many missed ones cause I'm driving.

What should you do when the customer says they are giving a cash tip, which would be the only way it would be worth it to you to accept the order? Do you drive all that way and hope they give you a cash tip? Or not take the chance and decline?

Just completed my first DD orders today! Does anyone have any advice on whether to Earn per order, or Earn by time?

I have just started but I have seen as high as $14 on average good ones are 7-10 depending on the miles. noticed a lot of the higher paying ones were I am come with a lot of miles too.

I don’t get to see bonus or peak pay on any regular basis. Don’t have the hourly guarantee. I avg 30 dollars per hour and about 120 in a four hour shift. I won’t do an order less than 6 dollars and mainly wait for 8 dollars and higher. I try to stay around 5 miles or less per trip. I have 3400 deliveries with door dash and 10000 since 2014 with other gig market companies. I find that if I sit in a specific zone and it shows at least busy on the map ( Seattle area ) I can hit 500 dollars working 16 hours . My goal is 20 per hour, I seem to get the same restaurants and drop offs.

I was offered $200 challenge for 15 orders in a week, as a newbie, I'm sure. Talk about fast $$!

In Reynoldsburg oh the average orders I get most of the time is 16-18 but I frequently get orders 25+ if your in Columbus Ohio try coming to Reynoldsburg specifically 256 by the noodles & company Yw in advance

This was a good one for me, it helps me build a better model of how the pay works and how to get the best average based on the variables you mentioned that are somewhat unique to doordash. Like I said before I deliver pizzas from a fixed store and a fixed delivery area which is much different. But yeah I think this makes a real good picture for me man thanks a lot my brother ✊

hey mike is there a big diference between top dasher and diamond dasher

If you're constantly rejecting, that takes your acceptance rate down.. doesn't that impact the quality or number of orders you are offered if acceptance rate is low?

In my experience, not really. I've only been doing it for a few weeks but my acceptance rate is just 37% right now yet the app always says I'm prioritized for higher paying orders anyway. From everything I've read/watched Acceptance Rate is more of a scare tactic than anything. Focus on completing the orders you take and get those 5* ratings - DON'T take crap orders that aren't worth it to you.

My typical peak pay in stl (Maryland heaights) is 2 bucks. I’ve seen as high as 5 when there is snow

The most peak pay I've seen is 3.00 once it was the late night and early mornings.. usually its late nights for peak pay.

thanks for the sales pitch

Is there a way to know where the delivery is goi going beforehand.

Blessings Mike

In my area if I waited for 2$ per mile pay I'd never get a delivery. I've tried cherry picking high pay orders and it comes out the same as accepting almost every order. I think there are too many dashers taking low pay orders

So I’m new to food delivery and I saw an opportunity in the Uber opportunity tab app saying a bonus of 1.50 on the top of the base pay. I live an hour away is it worth driving to that location.

In Gastonia nc the average I’ve seen is $1…..and it’s mostly after 1130 pm… highest I’ve seen so far is $2 but I’ve only been doing it about a month tho

Door Dash customers rarely if ever increase the tip that they originally set when they originally ordered.

13:11 in the transporation industry , the correct nomenclature is "deadheading".

It doesn't happen very often but $10 tippers are so cool. I typically wait in my car until they open their door just to thank them.
