⚡Which is a better side hustle in 2024, DoorDash or Uber Eats?: ua-cam.com/video/RwrW5MWcZlI/v-deo.htmlsi=aOOCE4Rv7SBXcN0K
probably area dependent. UberEats for me because DoorDash just doesn’t have as many orders where I am and is specific to hot spots
Uber eats here central Ohio. DD is bad even at 50% I gave up going to take some advice I saw in here and do uber drive.
Yep depending on your area you need to know your market if you would like to know more please let me know because I would like to start a channel as well
If I get one Uber Eats order in a day its a miracle. Doordash is consistent but the pay if very low in my area. I'm going back to a real job. It all depends on your area.
90% of the offers I receive aren't worth my time. I don't care that my AR is sub 10. I schedule every morning for a week later. I refuse to give away my time and money to take crap orders for doordash I multiapp and make more money that way
I'm sitting at 13% right now. What do you think is a fair hourly goal without Peak Pay versus with Peak Pay?
@YourDriverMike I'm currently at 7, I haven't seen peak pay in my market for weeks. I only dash part time while I do walmart sparks orders for a few hours after I get off my w2 job. I honestly don't do enough dashes to have an answer, I may sign up for 20-25 hours of dash each week, but the majority of the time I have dd paused as I'm doing walmarts. I do an average of 4-5 dashes a week, because I do it on the side of sparks, and I make sure the dashes I accept are worth my time, fuel and money
And the earn by time isn't an option worthwhile in my market, doordash pays $10.25 to $10.75 for EBT. That barely covers fuel at today's prices
This exactly how I do it. I'm floating at 8% today after being at 25 after last Friday night. Weekend Dashers showed up in droves, but UberEats was thriving and they aren't on that one!
@@YourDriverMikeim literally at prob 1% here in pgh. Its rediculous. Amazon flex if your smart and pick the right ones is the best way to go right now. Thanl god i got a regular job dealing at the casino now
No, everyone needs to quit and bankrupt DoorDash. The only way to make money of the livable wage type is to do videos about DoorDash because dashing is not profitable in 2024.
I learned that if i accept most orders constantly and I get to 94% acceptance rate, usually I do this in the mornings when there are quick coffee orders, then during pick hours I get 9 out of 10 diamond orders when I see other dashes waiting inside their cars.
I personally stopped doing DoorDash because of continual lowball offers and how (in my case) I lost more profit instead of gained in the end.
Me to its a last resort
So what's the main hustle now?
Fr, doordashes offers feel insultingly low.
Peak pay never happens on DD anymore in my area. The grocery delivery is terrible. Way too much work for the money you're compensated. I took a Costco type store delivery once because it looked like it was worth it. Come to find out it was a bunch of very heavy items that I ended up having to take up some stairs. Took forever at drop off. It wasn't worth it after all.
It's worth it for me. I'm a platinum driver and it's pretty rare that i don't make at least $250/day.
DD=nope. The pay is the lowest amongst all the delivery apps as of lately. DD has the most $2-3 garbage orders. It is time for us even as part time drivers to move on to regular corporate jobs. Not worth the stress or the car wear.
That's great us retired people can take over. We don't normally take low paying orders. Last few weeks here were hardly worth working. I think it might be the weather its warrm xmas and there is people out everywhere.
Everybody can’t work thoses jobs!
Great video thanks🎉
I've been doing this full time about 2 and half years now. I just do uber eats and doordash. Doordash and Uber have both changed for the better with shop and pays. Also I recently got on the catering program with doordash. I use to struggle with 20 an hour now last week i worked 50 hours average over 30 an hour. So it has definitely improved. You just have to work at it. Never going back to a w2 job. I love gig work.
I feel the same way with warehouses , def gig work changed my way of hustling n yes it varies on how much time u put into the app and subtracting fees for taxes m gas it still comes well above minimum wage ( Cali dasher )
How? I average $10 to $15 an hour on DD. I've talked to several other dasher in my area, they all have the same problem. We're all ready to give up.
I go for quantity over quality when I dash and average $1.5 per mile for all miles driven and $25 per hour for dash time not just active time
Customers who don't leave tips are Dbags. Don't order food delivery if you are too poor to leave a tip.
Exactly
💯💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Is it just me or does it seem like it's poorer people that order in general?
@@Icedanonyes Becuase they don’t have cars to drive. So they need to get food.
Bingo!
I don’t door dash, but I hate measly tippers in general!
Let's say you make 19 Dollars per Hour working for Doordash,......
Your putting your own Car on the line for them, your paying for your own Gasoline and car Maintenance at the end your making less that $15 per hour and the stress of not getting good orders, like the $4 or $5 orders you get to go drive 15 miles, and then if you don't take them Doordash can stop sending you orders if the feel like it, it's not worth the Stress they put you through , and all the miles your putting into your car that you won't recover, Just find a real Job, something that has Full benefits, 401k and Union
You have to make 24+ hr. It's your vehicle, gas money and maintenance. It's to much of a challenge for new drivers, and if they ruined their only transportation, it's going to make getting back and forth to a regular job even harder.
My AR is just above 50%. But that's only because they just reset my rate 2 weeks ago and I finally got smart enough to pause dd when I'm doing something else. 25-30% of the offers that come in are immediate middle finger at the screen then hit reject. Under . 50/mile are things I see multiple times a day when I do this in my days off. The other 20-25% are things I'll at least consider but either they take me away from where I want to be or I just don't feel like doing them.
I haven’t done a single gig delivery in months. It’s just changed so much over the years and it’s just not as good as it was pre pandemic/during the pandemic.
There is a change in gig work. I get a lot more grocery orders than food deliveries now
The shopping now is more pay but I normally only do a few items to shop for people :)
I have been doing this since 2019 and it has slowed down a bit but still not bad
“Dash Now” availability is low in Longmont, CO. Plus the schedule blocks are small the last couple of weeks
This month I’m top dasher and that really makes a difference in my opinion barely get any low offers
wtg
DoorDash is the worst. Wish they lose every penny
Best side hustle right now or are all app gigs not worth it?
With ya, they're the worst gig app, and their orders are insultingly low.
Used to be great when I first started 6-7 years ago - but has gotten really bad for the last few years . I rarely dash anymore - as I really can't afford to abuse my vehicle and make less than minimum wage doing it . I work in the Phoenix area - so there are plenty of orders - the only problem is Doordash doesn't pay but 2.50 and then no one tips either . It's stupidly ridiculous !!
I dash in the east bay and am a platinum dasher, sitting right at 70% (i thank my naivete when i first started dashing for this 😉).. since it gives me access to do catering orders, and I have priority for shop and delivers, I usually average between 25 and 30 an hour .. upwards of 35 an hour on some days 🤔 and I don't have much sitting around time most of the time. It all depends on the day, of course, but for the most part, it's worth it for me 🤷♀️
wtg you must be driving a lot?
Nice job, do you find maintaining the 70% AR causes you to have to accept a lot of low paying offers?
@@YourDriverMike No sir! I don't get sent very many low paying offers in general.. and I have a personal rule to not accept anything under 6.50 or with a tip to miles ratio under 2 to 1 - unless it's sending me home at the end of the night, lol
In my market, I saw order volume dropping recently, and quality orders became less and less frequent. I totally my weeks dash and was getting less than 14 an hr. That's not worth it for me when tacobell is hiring the night shift at 15, where in dd I am spending gas money, money on maintaining my car, and depreciation due to the miles
Well in Taco Bell you have a manager!!
I've been dashing since Nov 2022. To date, I've completed 3.5K deliveries. Over the past year, at least in my market (Missoula, MT), peak pay has all but disappeared. Moreover, the quantity and quality of offers have declined.
I multi-app, fortunately. I also won't accept trash offers. But it's becoming more difficult to earn more than $20/hour of "dash time" and $2/business-mile driven, which are non-negotiable metrics for me.
Thanks for sharing Robert, do you think higher earnings are much more exclusive and really pushed to those with priority access, or have high paying offers ($2/mile) disappeared entirely?
Mike! All these side gigs have been bad since Thanksgiving. Even my go to, Spark, has been bad
Same here in Central Ohio. I think it is the warm weather the stores are packed everyone's going out to eat with friends family. That's what I see here Im sure business is Good in Orlando the next few weeks, lol
I dash in the Youngstown OH area and last week for 38hrs I made $800 but they are very wired with the top dasher program. I was taken off of it and they said it was an accident I got it but all my numbers are good and I’ll get it next month.
I’m stuck around 20%, that’s how non profitable orders are. I do multi app but sadly DD is the busiest in my area. There are SO many new dashers saturating it too. Mike, you just have noticed this on the subreddit, all the “hey I’m a new dasher” posts. It’s harder than ever to make anything. I’m having to work every single day and it’s pretty depressing.
Its bad for everyone around here the pay per mile. DD is weird its like the first 2 months you work for them they pay well then after a few mo it is all low pay. They reset my rating here , it did not seem to help much. Idk what the tease is with them I use it as a last resort.
Exactly. When the promos are good in my area which is suburbs of Philly I see a ton of Jersey drivers. It’s bullshit they shouldn’t be allowed to dash in other areas out of state
North Cincinnati Dasher here. I'm a weekend evening driver. I get 50-70% crap orders. Example: $3.50 for 12 mile trip. I get several of those per Dash. A lot of No-tip offers. Averaging about 18.50/ hr but getting slaughtered on mileage.
Last couple weeks up here in Buckeye Lak about the same Im full / part time sunrise to sunset. the summer people left then is was ok for a while. With all this nice weather there is so many people out I decided to take a break. DD is not making money off me I can't take food for them for free.@@barfeedbob
Thanks for sharing, I have seen constant dashing ads on tiktok for instance. The thing is DD said they’re spending less on acquisition costs, I assume marketing to get new dashers falls under this but maybe they categorize it elsewhere. Plus a still very tight economy contributes to more people wanting/needing a side hustle
It was worth it up until the second week of November. Then all of a sudden, I started getting inundated with low pay $2-3 orders and spotty order requests despite my market being “busy”. DD recruited heavily in my market and it’s now saturated. I was a top dasher for a year and none of that mattered, my consistent earnings rate dropped dramatically in Nov. I switched to ride-share and now make more money. DD sucks.
Thank u for not doing dd any more. More orders for the rest of us
Its not great for me here either. I am going todo the same thing your doing in January. Do you find that people set a time to be picked up or do you just do random?
@@legendvalleyNo it’s random. You will get requests as they come in, like DD. I still do Grubhub as they pay good in my market. So I do Lyft, Uber/Uber Eats and Grubhub.
Golly, just golly!!! I'm trying to make a buck out here! DD doesn't pay well!!!
im a full time dasher, and in my market 20 an hr is the average. my acceptance rate fluctuates from 40 percent all the way up to 70 percent. In my market anyway, there is no difference that I can see in high paying order priority,,, ive also switched from a car to a scooter to maximize gas usage to adapt. the 25 to 30 an hour days are long gone im afraid
I just wanted to say Doordash doesn't say it's $2+ per mile anymore. It's like $1.75 now for it to show up as a High Pay Order
For those unattractive offers does the pay by time fill the gap for them?
In my area I only decline about 1 offer if I'm doing a long shift. Most of the time in my area I get good deliveries. Location is a big thing on DD, if you live in a town that's doing bad and no high paying companies you'll get bad offers. If your in a solid blue collar town you'll be making good money.
I do doordash and uber eats at the same time. Get 5 orders. Deliver them. Usually doordash first. Then pause it. I make more money that way.i may do one charity everyday that I work. If they are in the same apartment complex or close to each other.
In my area peak pay has almost been replaced with challenges. Deliver 5 in a row for extra an $8. I have completed the challenges multiple times and on average it washes out that one of the orders is like a $2 for 6 or 8 mile run. The orders get deliver you get at least a $1 per mile. BTW i am a top dasher with 80%AR. I also want to mention that the challenges helped ky AR too. I used to float at around 74%AR. I have got to do twice as a new TD Dick's Sporting Goods multi deliveries. Picked up 8 orders dropped them all off and got $46 for 38.2 miles. Those are no tip flat rate deliveries but easy deliveries and good timing cause only 1 pickup.
I did the math on a challenge in my area. 1.25 extra per order. I’d make more with peak pay and they know it. Peak pay hasn’t popped up in about 4 days now. Good thing I have a 9-5.
in south Houston i get like 8 or 9 offers per hour on a good day i regect maybe 7 of them. most are under 5$ or its something ridiculous like 11$ for a 20 plus mile run.
I work part time in retail n need some extra money. Should I get into DoorDash as a food delivery driver?
Of the 3 gig apps I do (Spark, DD and UE) DD is in the middle. Spark 1st and UE last. DD stays pretty average but on better days it is really good. Spark is either really good or really bad. UE is trash even when you may get an offer, it’s not worth it.
I can't even join these other gig apps thats how saturated my area is, i was put on a waiting list on all the apps.
Places like New York City just passed the minimum wage for delivery drivers to 18 dollars an hour Westchester New York 15.00 an hour plus tips set a possibility is still there
I think in my area everyone is already out shopping or eating. Some people said xmas would be busy. Its been warm weather and there is not much on door dash last 2 weeks. I picked next week for vacation and I am pretty happy about it. Cars going in Body shop.
I started to avoid Saturday nights for that reason. Friday people get home and don’t want to go back out. Saturday people tend to go out and have a later lunch/early dinner. Sunday more often than not have been the best day of the 3 but you have to get out a bit early since people order earlier and many places close earlier.
I feel same way about Sunday its always been well for me ! I don't drive in the dark so this is my off season. I avoid traffic its hard to make money when there is traffic. I think this place is like 60,000 people.. I do best early am to happy hour.
@@BCWoodworks1
A Lot of older drivers work am shift sunrises to sunset. Retired Here it seems like you hardly ever run in to a driver using the same app.@@BCWoodworks1
i started in july this year, ar been over 90% until 2nd week of nov, now i am at 73% crappy ordersin the last 4 weeks
I'm making $1000+ a week with no bonus pay so I'm loving it.
Do you live in a city or largely populated area?
You are the only gig channel I can watch. Most every gigtuber just cries about how all these apps are garbage and blah blah blah. It gets annoying after a while.
85-90% of orders aren't worth the gas and/or wear and tear on my car. I haven't been over 25% AR in the past nine months. Peak Pay only shows up once every six weeks or so and they've had to run a $200 referral program since August/September which has led to a steady stream of new dashers to take the orders I decline. The lowest order I'll take is $4 for under 1 mile, which means I don't do Add-Ons since they dropped that rate to base pay in most situations.
I refuse to refer people because bonus pay I’ve never received yet I know for fact my friend took my referral. And the referral my friend took was actually a 600 for them and a 900 for me and neither of us got paid . So NEVER again will I do it plus it only FLOODS the market with dashers
@@denagardner8319 Agreed, definitely not worth the amount of work I'm going to lose overall, but I constantly overhear new Dashers talking about their referral. They really should read the fine print on that: it's not just a signing bonus, you've got to do a certain number of dashes in a certain amount of time to get that extra money. As an independent contractor it isn't wise to recruit your competition, lol
When I started the person who referred my got 2,000 dollars and offered me 700.00 dollars to do the required deliveries and Doordash also gave me 250.00 dollars - so I made out pretty well . The highest I saw referral bonus was 1,800 dollars - but lately it's only a 20 dollar deal .
I only do DD if I have a day a goal when $4-$6 would help push me over. I refuse to take a hit to my wallet, wear/tear on my car, and my time to hopefully get to 50% I got one the other day for $6 for 22 miles😂😊
OMG That sucks@@denagardner8319
I am sitting at 14% AR and dont feel bad at all - it needs to actually make sense for it to be picked up.
who the hell is picking up these 3$ for 6 mile orders???
Too many people it seems, which is crazy!@@bmetzy
I reject about 75% because the pay is not worth it vs miles.
I had a doordash order today and customer gave me a bad rating for no reason and I handled her coffee correctly, I DID NOT spill it, it was the correct kind of coffee. she had a bad attitude at me I felt so disrespected and almost sabotages.
🙏
@Vinferr8919 thanks, she was the one who probably spilled it and took all her negativity energy out me. She was definitely going through something
I’ve said it before - I’ve been doing DD for 3 months and I’m not really a fan. I’m in a smallish market in the Pacific Northwest. I like GH & UE so much better! I decline probably 80% of DD orders 🤔
I will accept 3-5 no tip orders per shift, but that is not my biggest complaint.
Yesterday I accepted a stack order with a $20+ payout from a local pizza shop and a Mexican restaurant in another town 15 miles away.
I pick up the pizza and drive to the restaurant. Big Surprise, the restaurant doesn't exist. I notified support and drove 20 miles back to deliver the pizza for a total tip of $8.
Let me know if any other drivers have had this experience.
More than half my orders are low and there far away.
If I am a new DoorDasher in Florida 2024. Is there a certain amount of trips I can do to get a bonus??
It's funny DD changed saying they would have the quests every night at dinner... and cut down on the hourly bonus... for quests.
They vanished within in a week
@Yourdrivermike can you talk about tax ,how to file it with DoorDash . And how to keep record on mileage for tax reduction
Hi guys! I’m a morning person. How is the breakfast business? Anyone out there like Dashing 6-9am? Love ur channel…I have learned so much so far! Thank you
I do sunrise to sunset here can you believe there is 7 or 8 McDonalds in a town of 60,000. There is lot of older people with homes paid off here and good pension. 1 walmart here pays me well on ubereats to pick up there and we have 5 or 7 popular breakfast stops.This town is full of food for order am. I just found out you can buy a Whopper in the morning last week. haha I don't drive in the dark people here won't leave a friggin light on very often.
I declined 7 red cards yesterday, I called support and told them I can't take red cards and i don't think i will stop seeing them...
I never signed mine up actually just found it.
i never used it @@JasonBourne-lt6oo
Report your red card as lost or expired. Problem solved! Do you want to order a new red card? No!! No, I do not! 😂
Also, recently after my car repair breakdown with the driveshaft, I started renting a Prius for $260 per week which I can easily pay for in one days worth of full-time driving. Which is also getting me 49 miles per gallon compared to my personal vehicle that gets 21 miles per gallon so it literally does pay for itself. But again DoorDash is only one component of all the gig apps. I’m running all day every single day to make them compete for my time.
Which company do you use to rent the Prius? You’re saving like $5 per mile while is crazy.. that does pay for itself !
@@HaikesXO Avis and dollar
No gig company is making you compete. Everytime you get on them they win no matter what you do.
@@dannytennial5311 what I’m saying is I make them compete for my time
where do you work?
The only problem with pausing is in my area there's a count down and once you hit the bottom you lose your shift.
Set 2 alarm clocks on your phone, one at 25, one at 55. Turn these alarms on and make sure to unpause your dash and immediately repause. I keep my dash 3-4 hours a day doing this while I'm busy doing Walmart Sparks shop and delivers
Just adjust the hour for the alarms to be equal to whichever hour your doing it in and adjust each time you do it. Ie 4:25, 4:55 PM. After ya do the first one change alarm to 5:25 pm. Doordash give you 35 minutes each pause, this gives you a couple of minutes to do this once alarm goes off
@@rickyd172 I wish it were that easy. What it does is if you pause for 10 minutes it starts up again with what time there is left after the 10 minutes so there is only one 35 minute "pause" for the day and every time you hit it the clock winds down.
It may depend on how many hours you've scheduled yourself but I don't work more than 5.
@justdodo5317 I usually schedule my self in 3 hour increments in case I miss one that I'll still get another that day. I've been doing it this way for 4 months, never had it not work. But if it's not doing it for you, unpause after 30 min, decline the first order it sends you and pause again. It'll drop your AR by one, but AR doesn't matter enough to make me care
Do you have any experience with Amazon Flex?
I dash in Denver area. I haven't seen peak or bonus pay in about 6 months except for 1 day. My AR is about 15 to 20 percent because the rest aren't worth it at all. I stopped doing UE and GH because barely anything came through those so wasn't worth it
That is so weird I have a friend in the same town I am in like 60,000 people 8 McDonalds with in 9 miles , Loz. he says he gets not many order's but I do pretty good here. I was just thinking about that today why I could do good here but he does not. We use the same 3 apps. I do ok no huge complaints but he goes out and gets nothing. Tonight 12/16 my uber was freeking out. I only drive sunrise to sunset so I am already in the low pay times. Idk why that happens it is so weird.
DD driver, def reject 1/2 to 2/3rds of the offers as they're just not worth driving your car to do. I'm guessing there's enough new drivers that take alot of these (before quitting) and it keeps the offer prices down (costs lower for DD). Have noticed that virtually all the other gig apps aren't accepting new drivers (beyond Uber Eats which is worse than DD in hourly here) in this area - and the reviews on all of them are talking about payouts being terrible...much worse than a year ago...if the economy gets worse, the gig companies will drive driver pay as low as possible...this just won't be worth it (we're already pretty close to this) for any of them beyond Uber / Lyft ride sharing...
I do stuff in a high income suburb of Chicago, I can generally do close to $20/hr lunch and dinner on normal days via DD, but it can easily fall to $16 or so occasionally. Don't try to keep your acceptance rate above 50%, its a trap by the company to do runs at loss for you / cheap for them. (have had DD respawn the same denied offers over and over on me just ratcheting that acceptance rate down)
Yeap my AR is 2 percent lol
I'm at 83% AR and I decline MAYBE 1 out of 8 orders. But they're not terrible offers usually. Most of the ones I decline are like $11 for 10 miles, which still isn't upside down, but just WAY far out of the zone. Otherwise, I would say... 85% of my orders are high paying orders.
You must be in an awesome zone...here in the Chicago suburbs it's the exact opposite, 75% of the offers are underwater or just even (1Dollar per mile) orders.
@@Sasparillafizz I consistently do $25+ per hour every day I go out. I've started documenting all of my orders so people can see I'm not just saying things lol.
@@DasherStu I believe you there are some awesome zones (Hawaii comes to mind), but getting those are like winning the lottery in all this, with most being like the zone I work in (which is better than most zones outside big cities) or worse. So def enjoy it.
@@Sasparillafizz I appreciate it! I Doordash in Nebraska and there are 3 huge zones all connecting to each other. The biggest thing is it's easy to maneuver around since roads and buildings are more spread out (I dash only around the suburbs of the city, but not downtown). I've been at it almost a year now, and there was only a small drop a month or so during the summer where I averaged like $22 an hour. Otherwise, it's been all uphill. Roughly I work 13 hours active (15ish total) and I make around $400 give or take a few every week. My strategy is different than anyone I see though. Lastly, every time I dash, I instantly get sent another order after completing one over 95% of the time. I never have to wait for orders to come in. Happy Dashing and good luck!
I’ve pretty much given up on doordash and make most of my money through Uber eats
There are certain days that are busier than others so I try and only deliver those days
I freaking just drove 3 hours in high traffic areas with multiple orders and huge distances (10 mi between) and made a whopping $23!! Min wage is $16 per hour in WA. I think I spent more on gas than I earned!!!
So you decline offers or just let them time out?
I only seem to get bonus pay at like 4 am (no thanks).
Was told to stay away from DD. I do Uber Eats but it’s starting to slip. It’s making me multi app. I’m thinking of giving it a try.
The one good thing DD has is the offer price is the price you'll get paid normally (not with an expected tip like in Eats cause those expected tips aren't always there and then you're stuck).
@@Sasparillafizz Thank you for that.
@@steppingtotheam281 Your welcome…and of course UE might be better in your market, but in mine it’s worse (after the occasional tipping is factored into their offer prices).
@@steppingtotheam281 true it is a possibility, but im 5000+ orders on ubereats and im pretty sure most people do not know how to do this. I've had it happen maybe two times.
I think it’s weird that they don’t have a minimum cost to accept orders. Like 10 dollars minimum isn’t crazy to require.
They deactivated me for no reason. I take it seriously and they said due to fraud. I had a feeling something like this would happen. Because I always get orders when I show up they said another dasher picked it up and I always call door dash. Other day I called customer and door dash because CVS didn't have the 2 items the customer orders and they always didn't have any substitute items. So maybe from that. Pretty mess up tho. I'm a top dasher and they just out of no where deactivated me
Well now NYC gets 0.50 cents per active minute same with Uber eats but sadly you can only tip after the order was delivered
That sucks
As an UberEats driver with well over 13,000 deliveries, I've seen my acceptance rate cut in half since 2022. I have to wonder who's accepting $2 8 mile orders. Really time to multi app.
Many drivers accept $2 orders because they are afraid A/R will drop if they decline....DD knows this and will take advantage...Sad but true.
I think there just into having a high AR for some reason. I know one thing there driving there brains out. I am tired at 600 wk.I would rather do 400. So I assume they fill in so to speak for the people that will not take them?
I took a screenshot of a few the other day. $4.11 for 14.2 mi., 33 min was one of the worst I got
One day last week I was getting them like crazy had to shut app off. The next day they were all good. Weird

My wife just signed up for it. We're going to do it tomorrow
I just started back after a brief hiatus and these orders and schedule times are a joke now. It may be due to the combination of oversaturation in dashers in my area and more people leaving their houses
@@xbeatboxbearx people in my area don't tip at all. It's bull. I had all my payments get held for review the other night all because the first order took forever and it wasn't even my fault
Seems apps are spying on each other, when I accept an offer on one the others start blasting me when one is dead they all are dead
I reject about 13 percent of orders why? To many items type of store and weight
started doordash with 79 ar ,18 deliveries declined 5 and now my ar is 74 this happens alot but BS
As lomg as doordash has hourly I don’t care how bad is I am taking one order an hour I don’t care 17 dollar for 5 miles I am sleeping for 40 min and get paid god bless doordash lol
Before u do dash u have to pay 15 % end of the year
Yes if our government mandate $20 plus tip an hour. Like nyc earnings $30 an hour the rest state is not worth it
What if the costumer opens the door and takes the food before you can take a picture? Or opens the door as your walking up?
I make them wait until I take the picture...I always take the picture
@@RD-ce6bb ok, good to know. I will too.
@@RD-ce6bb can't you just click on the "handed order directly to customer" button?
Clicking on "handed order" doesn't prove anything so no I would rather take a picture@@tomanderson9774
You fantastic you never say hi to Australia?
I decline a lot of orders. Uber is the worse with $2 offers. My Uber acceptance rate is 12% my DoorDash acceptance rate is 26%
I don’t decline any orders I just let my time run out so I don’t get my stats lowered
2:30 Mike: There is no pefect app..... Please hold my beer! 😅
88% AR 100% completion rate 5.0 customer rating. Full disclosure i have a full time W2 job but dash every day. All these complaints u all have are earn by offer. Earn by time ur base pay is more. U make more and still get tips. DD is moving toward more earn by time. So u all sit there and complain about not making money and im gonna make my 400 a week
No complaints here i get it out the mud
People are ordering less here even during peak time im waiting 30 minutes between orders.
The app is horrible at glitching and freezing on me! Maybe it's just my phone, but the other delivery apps I use do just fine.
Same here, and I get a new phone each year. All other delivery apps work fine, just the doordash app.
At least 70% are trash offers. The only way to make those offers feasible is Earn by Time. Really, it’s just to get that AR up, to be in good position for a shift that you go Earn by Offer
This completely depends on market. Doordasf offers $10.25 here for EBT. You won't pay for your fuel, wear and tear on your vehicle. Your pretty much donating your time and money just to help doordash out, not to make you an income. Money does not equal profit by default, EBT means you may be working for $1 or 2 an hour after expenses.
@@rickyd172 ouch. 10.25 p/h is rough…yes, if it’s 10.25, or anything you don’t consider worth the waiting time at the slow restaurants, don’t do EBT
How can you compete when you got people running on other people's accounts taking absolute crap orders... I got to help translate a lot of times when people's having problems with the red card.. trust me in the Tulsa market lot of new to the United States pl doing DoorDash and spark.
Yes it is worth it but only part time
I’m wondering what everyone else makes on dd
Imagine driving to the store and then another 20 mins to a customer to get 2.50
50%+ are worthless orders in my area.
You can't even buy a big Mac meal doing three deliveries.
Maybe 15% are worth it in my market
Yea, I'd unfortunately have to say that I think it's a WRAP 🥺. TOTALLY not worth it anymore 👎. That post -pandemic run that I was on has come to a screeching halt 😬. Time to find new work, it was profitable, and fun while it lasted though. Id say about 30% of the orders are worth it, if I even get a decent amount for the day. My acceptance rate decreased dramatically in the last 3 months , and there seems to be no signs it will increase in the near future 😳. Definitely fell on hard times 😔
It looks like doordash is over 😢😢in 2024 i made 50 dollars in 8 hours
70% of the orders i get i too far or don't pay enough
