Over $10,000 a month on Doordash-FULL STRATEGY; my last month of delivery

#entrepreneurship #gigwork #doordash
Like many people, I suffered financially during the pandemic, so I flew home to the US, and took up driving delivery last year. In my last month of Doordash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats, I earned a little over $12,000 in the entrepreneurship venture. This video shows how you can do the same-step by step. It was a lot of hard work, and I feel relieved to have the phase of my life behind me. I'm using the money I made in the last 5 months as seed money for our business, and to travel full time with my family. Currently in Tulum, Mexico.

    There is no shame in being a delivery driver. Delivery drivers are the backbone of this country's commerce. The only thing people should be ashamed of is, if they aren't giving a 100% of an honest days work in the job they are working. You need to re adjust your outlook.

Between my email subs and IG following, I have 25k people following me as a photographer and content marketer/creator. It’s how I’ve built my career, and I was reluctant to risk that image…has nothing to do with delivery drivers or their value, and my photography career DID suffer because of this video

    Just be careful, burnout is a real thing and can make you depressed. I think it was important for me to have an end date, or otherwise something to look forward to. $12k was my last month, but I’d have a hard time doing that month after month with nothing else to do. The previous months were $6k-10k, and I only worked for about 5 months straight in total.

    Memorize where the massive 6 floor apartments are on the map so you can reject/cancel them. Half the time on those is finding parking, trying to get a code from customer, waiting for an elevator only to find it requires a key card to use, going up the wrong side of the apartment, so you have to go all the way back down and find the right door. One time I got stuck in a parking garage because the elevator I used to get in had a keycode, but I forgot what floor I parked on so I got off on the wrong floor only to discover the elevator door on that floor was a key card instead of a code, so I was literally stuck on that floor shouting for help as I circled around looking for a staircase.

    I have learned to be more assertive with businesses. I have walked up to the counter at Mcdonald's and was immediately told by the manager to please wait because they were servicing drive-thru orders and someone would be with me in 5-10 minutes. I just loudly asked if they had my Doordash order ready and one of the girls working in the drive-thru handed it to me. I was the only person in Mcdonald's lobby and if I hadn't been saying anything I would have been standing there for 10 minutes while they already had the order ready. I get paid to drive not wait. Another time I showed up at Walmart and waited over 45 minutes for a $3 order. I went to the pickup door and went inside and asked them what the status of the Doordash order was for 4 items. They immediately started telling them that I couldn't be inside their pick-up area and I told them that I had been trying to call them for 45 minutes and that they wouldn't answer the phone. Walmart employees told me that they were too busy to answer the phone. I demanded to see a manager to find out why they were so slow and then someone quickly showed up with my order to get me to leave. As I was leaving a line of angry people had begun forming behind me because they had been waiting over 2 hours to get their orders. I have since decided to not take Walmart orders anymore because I am paid to drive and not to sit and wait. At Papa John's I was told that the wait was over 2 hours and the employee tried to get me to cancel the order. I told them that there is no way to cancel the order from the driver's end that all I could do is alert Doordash that the order wasn't ready and tell them why there was a delay and unassign the order.

    My unassertiveness had cost me time & money so I finally learned. Got tired of arriving to a restaurant just to find out 5-10 minutes later that the order was already picked up/stolen. Enough of those & you'll learn to speak up the moment you walk in those restaurants. One restaurant I picked up got the entire order wrong. THe name was correct but not a single item matched what was ordered. Customer would have been pissed had I not checked it before I drove off. Like you really have to check behind these employees. Also i havent taken one Walmart order. Idk seems like a headache. I barely like going for myself lol

    Great questions. I rarely take the order and pay orders, but sometimes they are irresistibly large. In those cases, I will often call the restaurant ahead of time. I call in the order, if they answer, I ask how long it’s going to take, place the order, and then will usually go accept another order from another app, depending on the time they give me. Sometimes I’ll get lucky, and the restaurant will be on my route to another restaurant. I’ll drop in, place the order, and then go take the other order while it’s being prepared. Sometimes, it doesn’t work out and I’ll have to cancel an order, but I can usually make it work as long as I’m following my other rules (ie never accepting shitty orders to begin with an avoiding traffic). I would not take them if it didn’t increase my $/hour, and so I rarely take them. Some people in my area have been successful with late nights, but in my experience, orders are more scarce, and my money is (at best) as good as during the day, so if I want to work more hours, I do better in the mornings-I usually won’t work before 8am or after 10pm. Sometimes, I will accept a drive thru order if I’m right next to the restaurant, and can see how long it is. Rarely, otherwise-even really big ones often get so big because people keep canceling orders, so you’ll get there thankful for a $20 order and realize it’s going to take an hour + to even get through

    Ok the 4 orders per hour sounds impossible unless the order is ready, every time, the traffic is never bad, you find each customer location without incident and of course the order is about 2 miles. I think in over 2000 deliveries I've had 4 deliveries in an hour happen five times. Generally I would make 25 max in those hour blocks. I can think about hourly, I just set a daily goal and try to hit it. The business is just to hit or miss minute to minute to forecast much.

When they say that i say to them "ok ill wait 2mins then or 5mins." I do it just to see their reaction. There are lots of places ive blacklisted and i wont take orders from unless its really really slow. Because your video was so good ill give you a tip that wasn't in your video. You might already have figured this out but ill drop it anyways. For some apps like Doordash where the map is divided up into zones ive found it helpful especially on slower days to sit in an area that intersects 2 or 3 zones so that you can access a zone that becomes available faster

    The only time I take orders from different apps is if I am 2-4 minutes away from dropping off my first order. Then I am okay with doing that. Especially if the next order I am getting is a solid one. But I agree multi-apping orders at the same time doesn't seem ethical. Also I agree with your 1st point. REJECT ALL THE CRAP if you can. It really is about knowing your market and the time of day though. I probably will take those $5-$6 Dunkin orders on a SAT morning as long as they go by the $1/mile rule. But those same orders going 10 miles can fuck right off. I find it ironic how people shit on us delivery drivers when it's not just picking up food and dropping it off. I mean yeah that is the job. But to maximize your money you need to plan and know what your costs are going to be in terms of burning gas.

    Really good question. My answer is pretty me-specific though. My wife is Swedish (and not American). We normally live in London, but I brought her and my daughters to the US. We stayed with my parents, we traveled a bit along the east coast, but my wife is only allowed to stay in the US for 90 days..so I sent her and my daughters off to Mexico at the end of it. When you have a family thousands of miles away, life outside of work becomes kinda meaningless. So, it was easy for me to just keep my head straight. I had my ticket to Mexico, and everything outside of delivery seemed kinda pointless. It is a quite depressing reality, I'm not going to lie. It was very hard and emotional at times. Because of that, I think having an end date or an end goal is really important. Having little things to look forward to is also important. It might not be the answer you were looking for, but I hope that helps

    Hmmm the idea of not sitting in a parking lot & instead driving around is interesting. Knowing the boundaries of the mini-zone is key... But I am unsure how to figure that out. I've just been parking, and then walking back and forth in a 100yd area, and it doesn't work that great as far as getting a ton of orders. Would you suggest driving back and forth in a .5 mile area? Or how do you figure out where this zone within a zone has it's boundaries so that you can go in and out of it repeatedly?

  • @callmelil

    @callmelil

    2 жыл бұрын

    I believe, generally speaking, 100yds is too small an area to make a noticeable difference most of the time, but it will depend on the restaurant, market, proximity to other restaurants, etc..you can imagine it like this: Every order puts an imaginary border around a restaurant. Exactly where that border is will depend on the market, dropoff location, current road conditions, traffic, etc..and it's not a perfect circle. It will be based on the road. But you, as a dasher within that border, will make the same amount as any other dasher within that border for the same order (So you have the same chances as anyone else within the border to receive said order). Let's just say it's 1/2 a mile for a particular order. Someone right next to the restaurant would have the same chance of getting offered the order as someone right on the edge of that border...1/2 a mile away. The person who is right next to the restaurant is NOT within the border for any other orders/restaurants, but the person who is on the edge of that border, happens to fall inside the border for 3 other orders from other restaurants. ie, the second person has a greater chance of being offered _an order_ (because it can come from 4 restaurants instead of 1). Now, the first person can still get orders from those other restaurants, but not before closer people have rejected them. The reason I suggest driving around is because that border moves around. It depends on what the TOTAL distance is for the order-entirely on how much Doordash would have to pay based on their own model. What I used to do is drive back and forth along the main road-never turning into a parking lot or doing anything that would "cost" time if I got an order going somewhere else. The best spot is roughly a 2 mile stretch in my market, and it would shift throughout the day (breakfast is busy in the south, dinner in the north). To answer your question, it's hard to say, because it's market dependent, but hopefully the explanation of what DD has written about their algorithm can help you figure out your own market.

I stuck with one and do my best to keep Doordash on the screen. The other two will pretty much always show me the notifications-flipping betwen apps is probably easier than handling multiple phones

If you think your issues can be solved by using two phones, then by all means, get a second phone. Just note that it will present its own challenges. I was mainly referring to having two screens distracting you, and having to handle both while driving. If two apps on the same phone are notifying you of new deliveries, it’s easy to switch back and forth, but if two phones are notifying you, switching back and forth is more complicated. The problems 2 phones present are not insurmountable though, and maybe the upsides outweigh the downsides for you PS: I also tried Lyft, and it SUCKS compared to delivery.

    Depends on distance. They give priority to those in the parking lot over those ten miles away, but they don’t differentiate anyone within a range that allows the payment to be the same.

    IHOP is franchised so owners/management may vary their policies, but as a general rule, their business model requires “chronic understaffing”. Meaning, they understaff on purpose. Those staff members don’t usually prioritize mobile orders (they don’t get anything for it). Again, general rule resulting from corporate policy..there are certainly exceptions, depending on specific owners and individual staff members

Certainly annoying but better than losing good paying orders for really shitty ones.

    Restaurants do sometimes have waits. I’ll let you in on something I didn’t mention in the video: I am usually about 5 min late to the restaurant. I accept my next order before my current one is finished (running 3 apps), and I will finish that one up before moving in to the next one. It cuts down on wait time a lot more than you might think, and it’s not so late that anyone really notices Also, keep track of which restaurants make you wait. Even keep notes and compile statistics. Figure out which ones are ultimately losing you money and axe them

As someone pointed out in the comments, and I saw myself, Uber keeps track of all "online" miles in your year end statement, so I suppose you could also use that for simplicity's sake. Taxes aren't that complex, you just insert 3 1099's instead of 1. Miles are the same, it's not like you count them 3 separate times. I also add in my food expenses, etc..but that doesn't really change by multi-apping

    2 жыл бұрын

    None have "penalties" for accepting fewer orders, but Doordash and Grubhub both have "preferential statuses" for people with high acceptance rates. The real benefits of these statuses come in the form of preferential scheduling. Doordash has something called "top dasher". You need a 70% acceptance rate, among other criteria, and it allows you to go on and offline without a schedule. Grubhub has different levels called premier and pro. I'm not sure of the exact criteria, but they each have different required acceptance rates and different benefits. Whether or not the benefits are worth accepting crappy orders is up to you and might depend on your market. I'd be inclined to think it's only worth it if you're NOT multiapping. Like, if you ONLY have Doordash, you may not have the luxury/backup of Grubhub and Uber Eats. I can't imagine a scenario where you're multiapping and it's worth keeping these statuses. To give an example, when I first started out, I was only on Doordash. I averaged around $20-21/hour, and I was a top dasher. I gave up the top dasher status at the same time I joined GH and UE, and my average earnings nearly doubled.
