This is basically what keeps happening to me. My AR is between 65%-70%. I get great offers to get me up to 70, and then I get absolute garbage to bring me back down to 65. Then that cycle just keeps repeating.
It might stop if you don’t decline all the trash and eventually get up to Platinum ;)
Same here. Started my first full shift at 74. Got complete trash and dropped down to 67 in 2 hours. I don’t even try to get back up.
easily overcome, accept all offers or more than you arent, simple!!!! Quit bean counting and do what ya signed up for instead of taking up a slot in the schedule, making DD flood the market with new drivers, who usually dont know what they are doing and pissing off the merchants causing innumerable social issues directed at the drivers which are a direct cause of delays in deliveries, cause an effect slow deliveries, pissed of customers pissed off merchants and their employees, which leads to pissed off drivers
It is algorithmic trap that DD is so talented at creating in this digital wild west.
Nice I'm stuck around 3%
As a Dasher for over a year now, I really do commend you for putting in the effort and agony to get gold. I'm going for silver this week. I need to know.
Thanks and more shifts coming soon including the next one which is Gold status ONLY
I recommend doing platinum.. much better
i started out same as everyone else, saw what was required and attained the goal top dasher ASAP, simple first month schedule and work as much as possible, ACCEPT EVERYTHING, the goal is (LTD's) lifetime deliveries, OBTAIN 200 ASAP, if you can do it in the first month of driving assuming you started at the first of the month (like i was fortunate enough to do) and bingo top dasher or top dasher platinum is obtained, now that 150 is required we will start to see who really is a top dasher or are really wannabe cherry pickers masquerading as TD's and the secret sauce dont ever let your AR drop, until you can afford too, which i have unassigned an order from McD's $7< order 17 cars in drivethru counting me three more coming in behind i bailed, three orders and 35 minutes $17 later, the drivethru was still backed up with at least a 20 min wait. It was worth the AR drop but only because i was at 100%AR, havent been below a 97% AR since i started
@@fmstark5078 I do 400 a month and always over 80% so they increase the rules it means less dashers when it’s slower and better for me.. I only do it part time after 5pm and never breakfast and lunch.. my area has like a dozen places that use DoorDash within a quarter of a mile.. Japanese and Chinese restaurants are the best for good tipping.
It can not be more blatant than that. We have always known that the AR system was a means to control dashers. You hit 70, and then the algorithm essentially realized it had you in check, like playing AI in a chess program.
And they can never penalize based on AR but with this program they can incentivize which conversely penalizes those that don't get the priority to high paying offers
It is the wild west of AI and tech app companies are leading the charge. No one is regulating them, so they do whatever they want. And you can be on the phone for 20 min with support to get my dollar they shorted me. They have all the cards.
I'm Gold and today 6 out of my 8 offers were high paying. I was happy. Lol
been gold for a week and i've seen maybe 2 high paying orders lol.
That's the kind of ratio I'm talking about!
@@fluttuers2820unfortunate. but could that be influenced by your particular market, too many top dashers, a bad week in the markets, local economy taking a dump, local bank failure.....maybe a scathing news article about delivery services, doesnt help when ya got social media types ""i made $300k DD"" makes most peeps feel well DD drivers are all doing so well i will give less or no tip, dont have the SGPProgram here yet still have TDRewardsProgram, i qualify as platinum since my first month, easy peasy and have 111(MD's) monthly deliveries and still a half a month left to make the platinum level for MAY except i only need 100 feel sorry for the dashers who are in the newer program for now eventually it will be here and instead of 10 days it will take 15 to qualify as a TDP top dasher platinum
Thanks Mike for the great videos that show the true face of the dasher rewards
Appreciate it, decent so far just need a bit more high paying offers
My brother, I am in Los Angeles California and I have been platinum level for 6 weeks and I have not received a catering order, unfortunate
It’s probably a comparison AI algorithm thing. Probably asks restaurants “would you like to update your menu online to match your printed menu in store?”
3 seconds is better than nothing! Well done. :)) 😂❤
Yes indeed. It used to happen to me REGULARLY in Nashua NH territory. I actually tracked it… 13 orders 8 pizza places I visited regularly and 5 higher end restaurants.
I'm in the platinum tier, some days it's really hard for me to stay in platinum tier, especially mondays and tuesdays. I rarely see those $13+ offers, I mean very rarely in my market in NY.
I got gold today. I was like wow after all these years. Thank you for some appreciation DoorDash 😂😂😂😂 I had the highest paying orders today and the miles were low
Platinum is a joke. I did 42 deliveries over the last 2 days at plat. 30% of my deliveries were still no tip orders. That still includes declining about 5 offers and unassigned 1.
yup and they try to push you off platinum everyday
Exactly. I pretty much quit all together. I was making about $25 to $30 hr as Top Dasher. Tier Program came in first week was good, then it went downhill. Bad to where I was making $15-$18 My friend who was sliver was getting better orders. Now I’m barely Silver. Too many other apps then to deal w this BS
Yep and this video makes you think everything is great,when its not hes got to be getting paid by doordash too make these videos.
Thanks for sharing, it very much feels like less control versus cherry picking or just other programs
do you really think that DD can control no tippers?? i have been to multi 100,000 homes three 4 cars all less than 5 yrs old, large order from pizza hut, wings 2 large pizzas & cinnabuns no tip, everytime the economy takes a hit (stock market wise) i see a drop in tips from the high flying younger crowd
I can confirm that sitting still waiting give you less offers. Soon as you leave/move orders start coming in. This really makes me mad, because I want to save on gas by hanging out in a hot zone but the algo doesn't let you.
I’ve been getting that extra dollar for menu photos for years. I love it’s.
I have been waiting for this. I need to know if it is worth it.
More shifts to come!
Consider camping a McDonalds in a buisness district M-F for breakfast to get that AR up. usually short deliveries and pretty quick.
Good luck. I hit platinum in the Seattle area every month. Just so I can get the - now. Feature, and I still get sent a lot of c*** orders 6 months ago and I've been doing this for years. I could still average 25 to 30 an hour in the Seattle area. Now I'm lucky if I can average 18 an hour but I gotta take those c*** orders just to keep the - now going. I'm on social security and I depend on this for living expense money every day. So even though it's horrible pay it allows me to make enough for groceries without working full time and being penalized
I have platinum as well and ya they make me take alot of crap to keep it .
Thanks for sharing, yes since it's the rolling basis they can send you basically anything and you have to accept to keep 50/70% AR. Huge negative and I'm sure a strategically planned feature of the program
@@YourDriverMikecould be away of earning your keep/weeding out the wannabe top dashers
My numbers are high and I still don’t get orders like those….. I’m set for this program to Hit Florida I’ll start at platinum🎉 but I don’t believe it will change anything for us down here 😢
I thinks its already in miami but not to rest of florida is strange
@@user-zd2gd1iv1l I am in FL as well, between ST. Aug and Daytona, its in Jax and few other FL markets, check out other dasher/food delivery streams, ive seen the list might include Ocala/ Orlando
i am at the top end of the numbers and i get lowball offers as well part of it is economy, part of it is social media entitled individuals who dont realize that they can be denied as well after awhile addresses will start to be banned so no matter how many friends or accounts are made service will eventually be denied one must not forget machines ie....AI has a memory!!! it can be directed as well that is why social media is so dangerous instant "McCarthyism".
I'm glad we still have the old system in Bremerton
No Dasher Rewards? Interesting, I feel like it's coming to a lot more markets though
@@YourDriverMike no dasher rewards. It's the same system as it was two years ago. Also the same in Port Angeles and Port Townsend areas that I dash in. As a part-time dasher I don't think the dasher rewards system will benefit me, so I hope it doesn't start here.
I know you will get it. Just have to take unloving orders to get there if that's the goal
Congrats.Hard part is keeping it.
With that rolling basis that's 100% the case
easy peasy, what did you sign up for?? drive and deliver, status maintained but drivers instead wanna dictate and that is not how the game works
I believe in Fla. The governor said DD or UE can not charge more. It has to be the price of the restaurant. So maybe they need to change pricing..
They probably are just going to raise the fees on delivery. They also have to have a direct contact to the restaurant for the customer instead of using dashers as the go behind. The bill states they can’t put a restaurant on their platforms without the owners consent nor change the menu prices.
Interesting, I do believe we have a discloser here in Pittsburgh that says prices may be lower at the restaurant
I've been waiting for you to hit gold and see what's the deelio
More shifts coming up!
@@YourDriverMike woot!
Your market must be amazing. You didn't get a single insulting order.
Pittsburgh's always been decent since 2015 in my experience. Just one driver/worker though, earnings are still down from 2020-2021 of course (different market at the time)
Yes I was asked to take a pic of the menu on the wall at Crumble Cookies. Heck ya! I’m standing there doing nothing anyways. I hope they do it more. 😂
Pretty easy, and it's like $1 peak pay I'll take it. Ideally combined with more peak pay and large tips
I've never seen that message about taking a picture of the menu. I did notice for the first time yesterday they would have a picture of a previous delivery at the person's residence
Yes I like those delivery confirmation pictures, it's helped me out before
2 weeks ago I grinded for 70+%. Last 2 weeks I've been super selective and am down to 43%. I made the same weekly money with 16 fewer deliveries with the lower percentage. BE SLECTIVE! (my market doesn't have catering)
We don’t have this tiered system yet in northwest Florida but I feel like it’s coming so I might try to get my 27% up to 50% this week lol
eventually ill get back there, how bad are the no tippers in your area almost got six months of dashing completed and i was going to do a break down on my deliveries which should be close to 1300 LTD's by the end of the month
Mike, what car do you drive and is it a hybrid?
i know i should mind my own business but in case this helps - its a volkswagon passat, he has discussed it before. hybrid but not an ev.
2015 Volkswagen Passat (gas)
In the last few weeks I have gotten 3 of those take menu pics.
I love them, and easy $1.00!!
Nice!
I’ve had that happen to me. The moment I hit gold, DD immediately sent me backwards orders that I declined and it dropped me back to silver status. Question: how many orders do you have to accept to raise your AR up 1% because it drops 1% every time you decline an order.
4:51 I saw that when I was in McDonald's in Columbiana, Ohio
I hate to tell you this but I see consistently better orders in KC with a 6% AR and we have had the tier system for a couple weeks.
Starting Wednesday in the central Valley, California. We now have to have an AR of 80% or above, 150 deliveries in the past month, customer raiting of 4.8, and completion rate of 97% to be a platinum dasher. Got the email last week.
congrats run with the dashers not the wanna be cherrypickers
@@fmstark5078 Congratulations are definitely not in order here. 😩 being a part-time Dasher I will never be platinum. It’s hard enough to get 100 orders a month now they want 150.
You like the games that DD plays when you are close to 70% ar in the tier program? They are manipulating the hell out of people so much harder now. Ought to be sued for this tactic. I am actually surprised it let you get up 7% on only ten deliveries. I am also convinced they will not update your 70 after you pass it for a couple of deliveries, you will look down after declining one and suddenly be at 72. still playing games.
Yep! I always get up to 68-69% and then they start hitting me with the BS orders.
Yep, I'll never play their games and I make pretty decent money overall. This week, I averaged $28.32/hr. Last week, $27.87. I'll just keep what I'm doing, thanks, and let the YT content creators do their thing.
It's on a rolling basis so I'm sure I have tons of declines from when I cherry picked and was starting at 27% which explains the fast increase. I agree it feels like a lot less control bc they know you need 50/70%. I like the disclosure of letting you know how declines affect AR but I would also like more clarity and to perhaps see my accepts/declines from the last 100.
Have you ever scheduled a delivery with a promo, only to have it pulled when it's you scheduled time?
That happened to me the other day, I was PISSED
In my area if you’re not Platinum you can’t even get on most of the day.. it pays to keep at 70%
At gold level, are you guys able to dash now or advance scheduling?
Because i talked to costumer service they said there is a issue that happening right in the dash app in California drivers,, i am like Gold level AR is 98 costumer rating is 4.90, but still unable to dash now or advance scheduling
lol I can't even fathom doing DoorDash deliveries, or even using them as a customer. Haven't done a Dash in well over a year as the pay is beyond horrible
SO I am at a week of Silver, they just are not giving me orders that are worth getting gold. I have seen a slight uptick in earnings with Silver but not enough that has made me want to justify getting to gold. Maybe After a few more weeks I'll be tempted to try but so far I am hovering at around 60% acceptance.
Is it possible to Jump straight to Gold? I’m about to hit my 50th delivery and my AR is over 70%, rating is 5.0, CR is 100%. So I wondering if I’d be able to skip over Silver and go straight to Gold. I guess I’ll find out today.
The phone call edit 😂😂😂
in my area, 9 outta 10 times them asking you take pictures of the menu is them preparing to put that resturant on cash on deliver status without the places concent. it happens alot in my town cause most the places dont wanna work with doordash. we got a pizza place that isnt a doordash partner and they got livid if you show up and say you're there for a doordash pickup because they will be like "we're not on doordash" and then when you show them they are, they get hostile af.
I get it, someone said they might not be on DoorDash but the staff didn't react at all when I said "so and so for DoorDash"
I have gotten the menu buck 3 times in Fort Worth
I know in the past Postmates and others did not have consent from the restaurant to operate, so maybe that's what the photos are for. If the restaurant isn't partnering with them, it gives them an accurate menu
I see what you're saying but when I told the worker "so and so for DoorDash" I feel like he would've been like, "I don't know why they keep sending you here we don't work with them" or "we don't partner with DoorDash" etc. Business as usual there
Have to get 80 percent AR to get gold in NY. 200 deliveries for platinum
Thanks for the heads up, I saw a few things on 80%, if you have the email could you forward it to me? info@yourdrivermike.com
sometimes i feel the algorithm knows when you barely reach it so it throws bad orders right away to test you on how bad you want gold lol
I figure it’s to update prices on DoorDash end
Menu pics are to make you less aggro that you’re waiting for your order. We’d make more if they weren’t sending us to orders way before they were ready
aggro?
@@nala3038 aggravated. While we wait we’re losing time/money. They just off the $1 so that it passes time and we think we’re being rewarded
BINGO! It's on DD, but they make the delivery driver a waiter then delivery driver....... paid to deliver not to wait.
@@nala3038 Aggravated or aggressive...... you pick.
How do you get customers to leave ratings? Most of the people i deliver to dont even bother lol
If it's a local place, i will never take a menu picture... it's so that Doordash can raise their prices...stores have to pay doordash 25% per order
Door Dorks just running as a gig,,,why would I care about my level,,, all respect to you Mike doing this because I wouldn’t!!💯
Drive safe fam✌️😁👍
I prefer cherry picking but I'm testing it out, earnings to Silver were awful, starting to pick up now a bit
@@YourDriverMike I have a had time trusting DoorDorks, and Amazon FuksU flex, after the 2016 FCC lawsuit where they stole driver’s tips. Once a thief always a thief….Bozo bezo is king💯. Wish you best tho bro✌️😁
if i do a delivery and its the wrong address i'm calling to get paid to drive the difference. if doordash doesn't pay i get the food for free and my money. i drove extra once and i lost money and they lied that they didn't get it. had to send in the dashcam to prove i did deliver it. ever since then if the address is wrong not my problem. if i have to deliver somewhere else doordash or the customer is paying i did my job.
I tried that menu picture thing the other day at a Papa Johns and no matter which way I took the picture, it denied it and would not count it. So I stood there for a solid 3 minutes trying to take a proper menu picture for nothing lmao
Take pictures on your phone and message support during the delivery to ensure it's added
Doordash has been asking fora pic of the menu for the last 2 weeks in my market.
Doordash = Flawless victory
I ve declining low ball orders and now.sitting at 43%... tired od.doing rip off.deliveries..6-9 miles $4.25-6.00... not.gonna do them any more.
I hear you that was basically my experience getting to Silver just lots of low dollar offers
I just click on the navigation is wrong and then deliver to the correct address
I was at 70%yesterday but got no orders😢
They can’t make me do shopping orders .. I have a certain order area then pause after delivery to get back to my area.. I don’t do 15.00 deliveries for 13 miles. I’ve gotten the extra dollar many times for extra dollar in mass.. you’re waiting anyways.
theyve asked me 5 diff times to take a pic of the menu but last time i did it i was at hardees and they wouldnt accept my picture cus it was hard to get a good one of the menu board so i tried to back out and they still paid me for it so theyll prob never ask me to do it again
Someone else said their's glitched too so I'm wondering if that is what it was
What advice can you give me to get my ar up again i am at 10% it’s impossible to go up and i try to reset it and they tell me they cant 😫
The only way to increase acceptance rating is by accepting orders or if you have a reset you can use. If they're telling you you can't use it it may be past the reset deadline
I just completed my first 50 orders and got gold dasher status with 85 % AR and 100% completion rate. So far the results have not been good in my zones. Lots of 1:1 ratio dollars per mile orders and the frequency of orders feels like it has gone down as well. Pretty disappointed. It feels like they try to hook you in with an initial 50 delivery boost and then take it away..
I'd be self-conscious, taking a picture of the menu while in the restaurant. This is probably why I don't do any of the secret shopping apps.
I had about 3 other drivers waiting at the time, just placed it on a table and took the pictures pretty quickly
I really wish we went back to the old system. I personally hate the tier system and that's coming from someone who's in Platinum Status
My last comment. It was worth it to have to attain status and have that status for an entire month. Then you only had hell week at the last of the month to keep it. Now with the rolling AR, that changes with every order, it is NOT worth it. But cheering you on to platinum, just in case. I would love to be wrong.
100% a real consideration and a big difference
you are
@@fmstark5078 we will see ;)
8:55 so platinum orders are like this but less than 5 miles … it’s highway robbery
I took a picture of the menu - DD rejected it. BUT, I still got the bonus! Very strange...
Maybe a network error something glitched out when loading
Its worth it for Doordash thats for sure
With all these features let's not forget quarter after quarter DD reports LESS dasher costs (which includes pay). I think that's very telling
Probably updating
Just for the record, I used to work with clients in the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and when I had Israeli clients, Saturday night meetings were common, since they work Sundays and it’s a 10.5h time change 😊
These orders are iffy and only marginally profitable. How much did you have to pay in gas to get to platinum? How much time?
Hi Brenda, check out the end of any ridealong video to see the earnings including mileage and tax deduction. Thanks!
@@YourDriverMike Thanks, I will. I
1:02 it gets better
FYI Mike, there's someone in here impersonating you in the comments (same name except with a ~ or something between the @ and the name)
So no
Dude I'm at like 90% everything literally everything, and nothing is changing😅😅😅😅 it's all lowball orders until I'm kicked back out of the cool kids club😅😅😅
So the only difference between Platinum and Gold is a higher customer rating (4.7 vs. 4.5). Why didn't 70% get you to Platinum?
You also have to have done 100 deliveries in last rolling 30 days
I hate shopping for them
DoorDash only caters to the dashers that have 95% or better
sir you forgot to say "NICE" smh
Im tired of people like this who make it look like it works like this! How much is doordash paying you!
Did you watch the whole video? It doesn't end well.
Worth it? No. I understand the whole having something to make content for on UA-cam, but It's not worth it worrying about your acceptance rate. All that extra car wear and tear from taking the trash orders just to get your AR up is abusive BS, not to mention the mental stress. Maintaining a specific high AR is extremely flawed because it DOES NOT work in all markets, and even areas within a market, because the base pay is too low/abusive and the majority of customers suck at tipping. And 4 gatekeeping levels, just to get to the better orders? What is this, a video game? Why does there need to be FOUR? All the different criteria now that you need to maintain a level just makes it even harder to stay at any level. And one of them is ratings, the whole ratings thing has always been BS, because you're putting your livelihood in the hands of the vocal minority customers who will complain at the slightest thing, are uneducated about the dashing process, or will rate you low on purpose because if they are miserable and unkind enough to not tip you then what do you think the same people will do when you give them the power to rate someone? It's just all around BS by DoorDash and this is just an abusive scheme to pit metrics and customer ratings against the driver so that DoorDash doesn't have to actually put out a fair base pay/work environment, it's just easier to randomly cull out drivers for whatever reason they deem fit (since you signed your rights away when you accepted the terms of service) based off an automated and unfair metrics/rating system.
Such a long rant..... but what you said is priceless and very astute. Bravo! You get it BIG TIME.
it's all a dishonest grift. Channels like this make "outrageous" content to get clicks and views but are doing a lot of damage to other people trying to make a living. They could care less. The point is to get the views... and sell their crap. DoorDash earnings are meaningless to these UA-cam channels. It would be much more entertaining to make a channel being the worst DoorDash driver ever.... eating customers food, driving over their orders before delivering, etc.
U should of paused when u hit gold so u wouldn't get that trash
Blasphemy
SCREW DOOR DASH IT IS THE ARM PIT OF ALL JOBS THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR ITS ILLEGAL ACTS LIKE KNOWINGLY WORKING MINORS KNOWINGLY ALLOWING WORKERS TO SHARE THERE ACCOUNT ECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCREWING THERE WORKERS ON A REGULAR BASIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO, paying for your cherry picking!! lost your status congrats 👏and then bad mouth/bites the hand that feeds it, THE FACT THAT IT IS IMMEDIATE IS A GREAT IMPLEMENTATION, CONSEQUENCES FOR ACTIONS OR LACK THEREOF
