It's imperative that drivers be aware of waste time. Thank you for this video.
You’re welcome ☺️ The DoorDash Revolution
Thank you John, this is solid advice! It’s great to fit in a delivery from another app while waiting for a confirmed delayed order. Here in CA we get prop 22 (paid to wait) so I don’t need to unassign orders like I would before, just like you do. Time is money and we only have limited time. Russ 👍🏻😀
You’re welcome Russ, sounds like Prop 22 adds some protection for you.
Thanks for another great video John, especially the tip about waiting at restaurants. I'm very nice to the employees except when they blatantly ignore me (Mc Donald's, KFC 🤣🤣). I do not take any crap or accept "Shouldn't be too long" when asking about an order. Love me or hate me, let's just say that most of the employees know me then they see me coming and that's what you want.
There are a couple of McDonalds 🍟 in my marketplace that are really bad at ignoring their customers at the counter David. I will not accept any orders from them.
No tip no trip . If you take lower then 8$ your chances of getting a contract violation goes up . Scam customers saying they didn’t receive their food .
Hi 👋🏻 DirtyBronco… sounds pretty unfortunate. I’ve had one contract violation that I’ve spoken about in a few videos, wasn’t my fault and did not cause it and have done roughly 4,000 deliveries.
My minimum throughout has been $5 and $1.50 per mile. Not sure 🤔 how busy I would be if I kept a strict $8 minimum but can say assuredly that I would make less money in both the marketplaces I work if this were the rule.
Nice!
Thanks 🙏🏻 a bunch Robert… let’s shoot for next week
Good stuff but I’m thankful for prop 22 in California where if you wait you still make money thanks to the weekly adjustment
Hi 👋🏻 Dravin thanks for sharing. When working with multiple platforms and being on Prop 22 does this hinder your taking orders on more than one ☝🏼 platform at a time? Just curious 🧐
@@McFallRI Hello my friend, to prevent this both platforms not only keep you moving but also give you stack orders. The area I live is small so sometimes they give you stack orders totaling $16 for both orders including tip plus $22 and hour active time which is the time you accept the order to the time you push delivered ,so if you complete say 4 orders in one hour that’s $22 guaranteed plus tips. average tip is $4 per order that’s $16 on tips on top of the $22 an hour when busy. The problem with California, and I thin this is why we have prop 22, is the cost of living. For example gas is $6 a gallon some times more. Rent average is $2000 and food is pricey so evens out with other Santes because of the expenses we face.
Hi Dravin, that’s completely understandable and I cannot imagine paying that much in rent and gas. I see stories that CA is the state that is losing the most population and bet this is part of the reason why.
Hey John everyone keeps talking about dollars per mile (dollars per km) but I found this is difficult to calculate when you only have 30-40 seconds. I was accepting a lot of orders I shouldn't have and declining orders I should be accepting.
I recently worked out that my car uses 25c per km.
The other night I received a stack order $33 for 20km (40km back to my sweet spot) so less than $1 per km. After deducting the ten dollars for gas I knew this would leave me with $23 for one hours work total and it would bring me right back to my sweet spot ? I know that 40km is more depreciation on my car but it's also $23 for one hour which is probably $3-$5 more than I would have made staying where I was. A week ago I would have declined this order without even thinking about it ? Being able to quickly and accurately work out how much I'm spending on gas for each order, and applying a "dollars to time" ratio has opened up a whole lot of new orders and been a real game changer for me and I think everyone could benefit from trying this
Hey David… do you have one ☝🏼 sweet spot in your marketplace? My approach would be slightly different if I did like when I work in Auburn. Also, it costs you $10 to drive 40 km?
@@McFallRI My car is a Honda Accord, it's not ideal, heavy on gas but it's all I have for now.
My market is so frustrating it's hard to explain. I live on the coast near the water so my main sweet spot is more up and down than a big grid.
there are little inlets and rivers intersecting the roads and suburbs adding more KMs to your trips.
It's not like one big square or grid. I have one good sweet spot and I try and stay close to that but the problems I'm having is there are easy too many drivers in my big sweet spot so there aren't enough orders to go around, so I'm experimenting , trying to drive back and forth to other sweet spots to see how it goes but I'm just driving huge distances because of the inlets and rivers etc and the apps are trying to get us to drive further and further it seems. I'm just driving my car into the ground and filling up every 5 minutes. 😡 I'm trying different things the solution is I need a hybrid or electric vehicle to be honest. Ultimately they just don't pay is enough here and we don't get tips so without a good hybrid or electric vehicle it's not worth it here
Thanks for your details David… not sure 🤔 how big your market is but sounds like you could use a couple more sweet spots.
@@McFallRI I have a few but they are quite spread out which means more KMs on the car. They also don't have the volume of restaurants that my main sweet spot has. The delivery zones are really wired here once you get out on the edges it's every hard to get back into the middle again. The apps love trying to drag you further and further away 🤣 tonight was excellent as there was a Harry Styles concert on, pretty sure Uber lost thousands, the orders were crazy high paying. I wish every day was like this .
Haha . I think I'll stick to my original plan and decline orders that take me to too far out of my sweet spot ? I'll battle on and check in with you let you know how it's going . Keep up the context everyone's getting lots of value out of it . Thanks again
Sounds good 👍🏼 and you’re welcome
Can you really dump an order if the prep time to make it is longer than 7 minutes? What happens to that order? Does it go to another driver? Does the app dock you points/dollars or anything if you do that?
Yes… you can give any order you accept back to the platform. This counts against your completion rate and gets reassigned to a different driver.
@@McFallRI Okay. Thank you for a quick response. Very appreciated. 👍
You’re welcome ☺️ Angela
One ☝🏼 other important point Angela is that you must watch your completion rate because if you go below ⬇️ 80% you can face deactivation FYI
@@McFallRI Yeah, I was worried about that. I know Uber does this but I'm not sure if Doordash or other platforms do. I guess there will be some moments where I would have to take bad orders despite it not being the greatest pay to keep ratings up.
Thank you again. 🙂I've been binge watching your content to learn this as I plan on doing Uber/Doordash in a month or so. Great content so far, it has been immensely helpful. 🙏
How often do you unassign orders?
I unassigned 2 orders from GH this past weekend and was given a violation today (Monday)
I rarely give GrubHub orders back maybe 2% of them. Uber Eats is about the same. DoorDash might be 5% to 7% average.
Did the violation state it was because of your completion rate?
It said high number of reassignments
Ah… completion rating
👍
👊🏼
