Solo I had never heard of that? Is it all over the Country like Door Dash, Uber etc etc? Anyway heading over to the App Store…Oh and I had an accident taking a $6 frigging CVS order…Took the directions down this REALLY dark long spooky lane, hit a huge pothole and threw me into a ditch of trees and bushes. How the heck I got out and drove 12 miles home is beyond me? Hole driver side front demolished 😩!!!!! This was over 3 weeks ago and the adjuster is just checking out this morning? So had no income at all…..Sucks as we get NOTHING from Door Dash it’s ridiculous? I only got the car not even 2 years ago and it was hit in July while parked outside my house???? Luckily woke up to a police report so it was covered THEN an Amazon truck driver backed right into the rental…Long story but I didn’t get insurance but mine covered it. Got it out of the Dealership and my whole Computer screen wasn’t working at ALL so still fighting that. My poor car is worth $10k now and paying $400 a month for 72 months…Aggghhhhh sorry for the essay…😳
Solo works fine for me but the scheduling doesn’t. Only ever shows Uber not Uber eats or door dash so can’t schedule in my area. Trying to cancel back to basic but having trouble
My issue is that I get SO many bad orders. Like an unbelievable amount. And it tanks my acceptance rate. Even when it was high the orders weren't any better. Doordash needs to step in and pay drivers better or require a minimum tip amount based on mileage.
Don’t do this anymore. Don’t accept cheap order… if people wanna pay that cheap. Then they should move their ass out of the sofa and get their food by themselves.
@@taw3777lazy If you can’t afford it, just get it yourself… if you haven’t worked at a restaurant or as a delivery person… you don’t understand… people do that for living and depends a lot on tips…
@@taw3777lazy it's not a problem to not be able to afford to tip, but you shouldn't use a service if you cannot afford to tip. Pretty straight forward.
I think the biggest misconception amongst customers is how the fees are distributed. Most probably assume drivers, like myself, receive the majority of the cost since we are the one doing all the legwork. Most definitely NOT true. DoorDash keeps 100% of the "service fee", which is just a percentage of the meal cost and retains 50% of the "delivery fee". Only a small fraction of the amount a customer is charged is given to the driver (you know, the one doing 99% of the work). The "tip" is a bid for our service. Most drivers are only asking for reasonable compensation because we don't receive it from the app alone. If a customer doesn't understand why their no tip order isn't getting delivered, they can get it themselves. Demanding that drivers should deliver with little to no pay is bullshit. EVERYthing costs money. This is capitalism.
Doordash wants employees without paying employee wages. The way they're treating drivers right now by allowing some to see good orders and others are excluded is illegal.
The cherry picking person is gonna actually make a profit and the one accepting everything will literally loose money. They could even just run out of money for gas while also using the so called “profits” as instant transfers. 80% or more orders aren’t worth the gas or time. The whole “higher paying orders” priority is bs. If people aren’t tipping they aren’t tipping and it doesn’t matter if you have priority. I have even still got orders that are higher pay but the milage still makes it not worth it. The thing is just hit and miss. Some days are good some are bad but it’s all because DD doesn’t pay enough base pay and enforce at least a min 1 or 2 dollar tip.
They try to stick me with 4.00 orders for 23 miles and stuff like that here all the time. That is why I have a 27% acceptance rate and I like it that way.
Biggest thing to is like he said “hidden tips”. Why? Why are they hiding it? I’ll tell you why…they take them sometimes and act like the customer tipped lower or zero ordered.
I applaud you for committing to this challenge and proving what I suspected. I do Uber Eats more than Doordash, but find it isn't worth it worrying about acceptance rates. I am picky with what I accept, often with acceptance rate in the teens to low 20s. I still end almost all shifts with at least $2/mile average, often closer to $3/mile. I would rather sit idle for a few minutes waiting for a good order, than accept weak orders. They do eventually come, even with low acceptance rate.
Exactly. All the orders he accepted were trash. Doordash wants people to work without benefits for less than minimum wage. They’re trying to con drivers with no guarantee of better orders.
For anyone who stumbles upon this...............All this proves is that door dash is trash. Dude made $700 over who knows how many days. Drove 525 miles......NOT COUNTING RETURN MILES.......these are just working miles. At 25mpg that is 21 gallons of gas at $3 = $60 fuel costs. Minimum $52 in vehicle wear/depreciation costs, dont know his car could be much higher. That means he cleared around $590 or $5.90 per order before taxes. My guess is if you added the non working miles and gas/wear costs when not on a delivery that this number is significantly lower. This is one of the saddest door dash videos i have ever seen. Though it was very informative and easy to follow.
Think about it this way. We’ve all started as a “top dasher”. We’ve all started with a 100% acceptance rate, because we were all maxed out with those stats in the beginning. We’ve all still fallen with acceptance rates because no matter how many bad orders you take to get your rate up, DD will still send you bad offers half the time. Hidden tips. Why? Because they’re trying to mess with your head. Maybe you should take this bad order. Who knows? Could be a big tip at the end. I’ll let you know right now, 9/10 times, there’s no big tip after delivery. This experiment is flawed anyway. These runs do not factor in things like: day of the week, time of day, holidays, weather, game days(televised sports), etc. and so forth. There’s a bunch of different variables, however, I can tell you what isn’t one. Your DD acceptance rate. DD wants that food delivered regardless of your AR. Whoever is the closest and the most reliable will get the order.
You're right with 90% of orders totaling nearly the same as the initial offer. Any large tips received will be far outweighed by the high number of low/no tips you will end up with in anticipation of an order paying well.
Idk but i got top dasher this month and i didn't even try to get it. I finished 38% acceptance rate last month. I hardly doordashed last month because the app was glitchy all the time. I wouldn't receive notifications to orders only notifications that an order was sent to but i missed it. Im still facing the same problem but I have to manually fresh the app ever second to make sure i dont have order missing. I dd last and made and made more money faster then i had before. So weird that i really got top dasher. Do any of yall have to the glitching problem on Iphones or is it just samsung?
IMO the benefit of Top Dasher is it allows you to accept order that you’d normally turn down because they take you out if your current dashing zone to another zone that it’s unlikely you’ll get a dash on your drive back to the busy area in that zone. With top dasher you can accept that order ie. $15.00 for 11 miles take 30 mi to pick up and drop off, it’s the 15 min drive back and wait for another order worth taking that kills that. With top dasher you can accept it end dash after you deliver it and immediately start dashing in that zone it brought you to and accept similar orders in that zone back to your original.. it’s is pretty beneficial to not having dead time waiting to schedule dash time or for the area to be busy and open to everyone. Also instant access to Peak Pay Zones, no waiting or scheduling
You did what I wanted to do to see if DoorDash would pay higher. Now know it’s a lie. My acceptance rate is between 20-35 because I only accept calls which pay double or triple the mileage and if it’s between 1-3 miles & it better be $7 minimum. In 5 hours (Friday-Sunday) I can make $100-160 but it’s really about location & I use about 5-6 gallons of gas. I rarely do stacked calls unless it’s a high paying delivery for two , I believe DoorDash takes cut from the actual price on stacked calls. Nice Job on explaining each call you received.
Yep that’s exactly what I thought, just DoorDash wants you to build your acceptance rate so the bad orders are not stuck. Like other comment I read they need to start having a minimum tip per mile driven, cuz man… $2 tip for 6 miles? That’s crazy. And people wonder why their order arrives cold 😂😭
I once had a $2-3 dollar tip for driving 10 miles. But I'm still a fairly new driver so kind of accept even the crap orders. I've only been dashing for about two and half months.
Every door dasher should just stop delivering for a whole week to see if those ceo appreciate the hard work that it takes to deliver food and other merchandise considering the high prices of gas and everything else who knows maybe they’ll pay more when they start to see there business go to shit 😡
What people Don’t get is something like 17 dollars for 13 miles is terrible. They are telling you 13 miles one way not the drive back into the delivery zone. The real milage for that order would be 26 miles in reality for 17. Absolutely not worth the drive. And that’s even if the order was actually ready.
@@dcpride233 has nothing to do with it. There are delivery zones and you will only even get another order if you are near those zones and if they happen to have an order.
May be worth considering: the dash app isn't just going off of your acceptance rate, it is using a complex algorithm. Things like rating, speed, location are going to be factored in, as well as what jobs you take normally. Taking all offers may have messed with your algorithm. I think if you strategically take jobs now that your acceptance rate is high, it will likely spit out more jobs you would likely take.
I only work two dinner shifts a week and my acceptance rate is not bad, because I only when its busy and dinner shift pay better . I won’t dash towards certain areas because of poor cell service day. AT&T .The algorithm has slowly picked up on it, and barely sends me orders heading in that direction..
Yeah I noticed most times customers always tell me I'm their express order. Witch I didn't know some of us could be express drivers. I do speed alot and I always get their food to them way before the time. We should get paid a lil extra for me and express driver. That's some they tell the customer and not the driver
3 variables i think play into your experiment that I think you overlooked. Day of the week. What day of the week was day one etc. I wonder what days of the week your 50-75 window was in, for example. As well, a more intentional and comprehensive analysis of time of day. As well as how much time did it take...the 100 deliveries? was it in 7 days or 13 or 21...and were you driving 3 to 4 hours a day or were you driving 6 to 8 hours a day. Interesting video. Just wish I had more data!
I made the effort last month to go from 23% to over 70% and it def helped me get some good orders. But when I got over 70 I feel like DD decided to take advantage of me and tried to make me their bitch and sent me crappy orders. My sweet spot is right where you said it would be... 55-72% Thanks for this content, it complemented my own split testing efforts and tells me I'm on the right track.

Acceptance rate only matters when it comes to the tiered system. My acceptance rate is 97% and my orders are not increasing in pay. I’m not getting more offers either. Last Friday I only received 6 orders in 8 hours, while a fellow dasher consistently got orders all day with an acceptance rate of 85%.
I just did a Friday night shift on Uber Eats. It was pretty fun. I started at 9pm, finished at 2am and I could have kept going. The strip club kept ordering and TIPPING! Love when people understand TIPS!

The one said 16 miles. Likely nothing where you dropped off out of your zone. Thats about 10-15$ in gas, wear and tear etc. So what is your time worth? Sounds like you paid out of your pocket to deliver that.
Your only considering the delivery mileage to the customer not back to the restaurants. Double the mileage you came up with and thats what your actually driving.
DoorDash is the worst company I’ve ever worked for so far. On top of not getting good orders they are withholding pay. Changing pay schedules and seem to be operating in a very shady way. I’m not impressed with them atm.
We need a certain amount of top dashers around to take the really low or bad orders. If we lose them then dd will have a problem to solve : getting the low pay orders delivered. Dont assume that if no one takes them then theyll be forced to pay us fairly. What's likely to happen is dd will try and find other ways to get us to take them . We dont want that. What we have now works fine . My AR i think is 30 percent.
What? lol. When you were at between 50% to 70% acceptance rate, you getting really good orders in that 25 order block that you did could have just EASILY been a coincidence. You would have to this experiment many times, minimum like 3 times to even come close to getting a good idea if your theory is correct. Also now you have to do an experiment of another 100 orders when you're at a 100% acceptance rate.
100 in a row doesn't work because the weekends are always better then the week days so you should jeep the 100 percent for one week and compare for a Full week that you normally do so we could really see
The ONLY benefit I've found with having Top Dasher status is being able to dash whenever I want. That's it. I feel like I've made the best overall money at around 75-80% acceptance rate. I refuse to bring people food that refuse to tip.
You know I can’t really get above .83 per mile BUT I am considering ALL miles. From start to finish because that’s the real story. Is everyone considering their dead miles as well in the gas mileage????
DD no longer claims priority for better orders with Top Dasher. Earnings are a combination of market, culture, time of day, day of week, day in month, proximity to restaurant, number of active dashers… in other words it’s random from a drivers perspective. Acceptance rate 0%-100% doesn’t matter. DD WANTS ALL ORDERS DELIVERED AND DOESN’T CARE IF THE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS MAKE MONEY OR LOSE MONEY DOING IT.
What do you mean, they just recently made updates claiming that if you have a high acceptance rate you become a top dasher and you get more priority for the better orders. I'm not disagreeing with you on the other things you said where they don't care if you make good money or not. But they did make the claims.
@@robmen1402 Well, those "high Value" orders were mostly crap. For example they would offer a 2.5 mile trip for 5.00 and call that "high Value" PPPFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! They also never did reset my acceptance rate.
Hold up, just FYI after getting my acceptance rate up I’ve been getting these catering orders with mad hidden tips. $25-100 tips @ 80-90% acceptance rate. Just saying
Dude you gotta realize once you get your acceptance rate 85+% you can just start cherry picking the better ones and declining the low $/mi and small orders and it is the best way where I’m at. Easy to keep it above 70% and there’s maybe one morning every other month I gotta accept everything to get my ratings up.
Btw way if just go work at pizza hut you get $15/hr also small delivery area, also, $10 is an average tip as a pizza driver fyi. Thats why assholes dash it. Avoid $5 fee and the $10 tip. My advice to people as if they cannot afford fast food they need to buy tuna and peanut butter and keep it in there cabins at home
Cause he's a scammer, he will wait out till everyone forgets just like the comment section is doing now. Before 90 % were charity drive comments, now people forgot and are thanking him for his door dash tips.
I would of liked to see your active time / dash time and how many miles you drove through out multiplied by $ on gas. Just to break it down as to how much you made hourly. I bet your car hates you. Cheers
As usual is gig companies, think the drivers are stupid!! Acceptance rate doesn’t matter at all as long as there is a warm body to deliver the food, and the gig company gets the money from the fees!!
There’s too many $2.75 orders for like 56 miles to do every order like if it’s not five or better I don’t go and I I want to try to do this one day to see if it really works because even when I was priority it says 375 for like 8 miles I’m like how does that work if it’s priority and you’re giving me the low $3.75 for 8 miles who’s winning not me I’m doing that which Y’all think
I feel like Door Dash will initially give the crappy dashes to drivers with high AR's because they know that they'll take the delivery. And give the better dashes to driver who have lower AR's and if any are left over then they will send them to drivers with high AR's. I was over 90% AR for a while and didnt get my first "big" delivery until I started rejecting dashes.
I don’t think there are many high paying orders out there. And if doordash doesn’t kick in some money to make up for bad tippers there will continue to be very few. People are not tipping correctly to make it worth our while and, I don’t think doordash is giving people any guidance as to what is a proper tip for their order. I also don’t think customers know how many miles they are from the restaurant they are ordering from.
EXACTLY you hit the nail on the head right there. I am sick and tired of orders coming through for $2.50-$3.00 for one or 2 items and 15 miles away??? SERIOUSLY WTF 😳??? And I do think Door Dash should explain to people that we are not charity or volunteers this is a job just like them!! Think we are f*ck** slaves??? Pisses me off…
Also I started doordashing when it first came out and minimum base pay was 6 dollars so it isn't just the customer it's doordash too,they lowered base pay a couple years ago seems like no one's knows that
I see a flaw in your method though, a couple days you only did 4 hours, bascally if small orders were the norm, you stop, and try again next day for better average tips? I think to fully realize everything you would have to commit to 8 hour days for 5 days,, or 20 orders per day no matter what,,,
$17 for 13 miles crazy, than you have to drive back? I don't drive more than 4 miles. Did 3 orders one miles a piece today for each over $6. So $18 for about 3 miles while you did $17 for 13 miles. Like I said crazy. Lol
Doordash is Capaholics I cherry pick to where my AR is down below 10% and Friday and today the only orders I accepted were quality orders better paying orders than the majority in this video
@@RickyMoss You're right, DD is liars. But, friday is a great day for DD the whole weekend is and the weekends are the busiest, so the chances of anyone getting good orders on those days are really high no matter what your acceptance rate is.
My markets different but I've always had a high acceptance rating. So I've already doordash knows I not taking crazy orders. In my market is based upon not going to certain places versus as the orders because we'll get the good orders
I believe stats are based upon 100 orders… So if you took 101 straight orders .. How is your AR only 95%. Other night I took 5 orders and declined one but I lost 2 AR points. DoorDash app is so screwy it seems
IMHO, these test are flawed from jump street, I think over say a month or 2 the money and orders would even out as most markets do what they do. I would be interested in your actual adhing time and active time. I saw a video where a dude was making 1300 a week dash time was right around 40 hours but active time was almost 100. I have no desire to be out 14 hours a day and only 6 count making money.
were you getting pay by the order plus tips or by the hours plus tips? i'm new to doordash did 14 order, in 8 hours to only get pay 88.60 in 8 hours! is this like a beginner thing? i took on any order as you did and started to see the pay getting higher after 11:30pm i ended the 12:30am last night...
Bruh delivered 100 orders making Doortrash about $3500-4000 and he's doing the heavy lifting using his vehicle and gas. His cut will probably be around $700-800 going to him. Then, he has to give uncle Sam his cut. Leaving him ...💩💸😁
The solo app is not very good in Tampa Bay area. It comes out to be what you'd make anyways and your supposed to accept nearly everything to get paid the difference.
I'm not even halfway thru the vid and I'm wondering what days of the week are you working? If your first 50 orders are mid-week and the next 50 orders ae on the weekend it'll skew the result.
Is the solo app a sponsor? I’m pretty sure you have to make it clear if it is and it is not clear at all. It seems like a simple tip to help people out but that could lead people to download an app that they wouldn’t of had they known it was a tip you were paid to give. If it’s not a sponsor, it would help to say that as well.
So the solo app overrides needing to apply and be hired ? Or does it only attach to jobs you already have ? Like I am a door dasher what is stopping me from grabbing an Amazon delivery? Please explain lol
I was at 37% because I didn’t want to take those 2.00 and 3.00 orders, but a friend of mine told me you have to take the crappy orders and once you get your acceptance rate up you’ll see better orders. I did and now up to 60% and I went out last night and did pretty well.I am seeing a few better orders. I also believe time of day plays a huge role. I struggle at night with addresses but i know they incentives late at night so you can make more
What he said false. It doesn’t matter if you have priority on the higher orders if there aren’t higher paying orders that are close. If people aren’t tipping they just aren’t. What DD needs to do is up base pay or force a minimum tip.
@alpha6games751 I think you may be correct. You get based on what they're getting... his dollar per order really wasn't that much different between when he started his trial, and when he ended it.
How come none of these drivers bother to figure in the tax deductions self employed people get? I have been self employed for years doing various gigs and the tax deductions alone are literal cash cows. My husband makes a six figure income and at tax time my self employment ensures we get refunded 100% of the taxes he paid during the year plus since my vehicle is used for my business my expenses are also deductible. If you people aren’t keeping up with the stuff that’s deductible you are leaving a fortune on the table for Uncle Sam and that’s just dumb.

Seriously. Try GameDay in an SEC College town.
You're right with 90% of orders totaling nearly the same as the initial offer. Any large tips received will be far outweighed by the high number of low/no tips you will end up with in anticipation of an order paying well.
Seems that way.
The fact that we don’t know if top dasher pays better tells me that even if top dasher is better it’s not enough to make it worth it
Idk but i got top dasher this month and i didn't even try to get it. I finished 38% acceptance rate last month. I hardly doordashed last month because the app was glitchy all the time. I wouldn't receive notifications to orders only notifications that an order was sent to but i missed it. Im still facing the same problem but I have to manually fresh the app ever second to make sure i dont have order missing. I dd last and made and made more money faster then i had before. So weird that i really got top dasher.
Do any of yall have to the glitching problem on Iphones or is it just samsung?
IMO the benefit of Top Dasher is it allows you to accept order that you’d normally turn down because they take you out if your current dashing zone to another zone that it’s unlikely you’ll get a dash on your drive back to the busy area in that zone. With top dasher you can accept that order ie. $15.00 for 11 miles take 30 mi to pick up and drop off, it’s the 15 min drive back and wait for another order worth taking that kills that. With top dasher you can accept it end dash after you deliver it and immediately start dashing in that zone it brought you to and accept similar orders in that zone back to your original.. it’s is pretty beneficial to not having dead time waiting to schedule dash time or for the area to be busy and open to everyone. Also instant access to Peak Pay Zones, no waiting or scheduling
Meh, i just miss them campaigns. Complete 25 orders for guaranteed 200 or 250.
You did what I wanted to do to see if DoorDash would pay higher. Now know it’s a lie.
My acceptance rate is between 20-35 because I only accept calls which pay double or triple the mileage and if it’s between 1-3 miles & it better be $7 minimum.
In 5 hours (Friday-Sunday)
I can make $100-160 but it’s really about location & I use about 5-6 gallons of gas.
I rarely do stacked calls unless it’s a high paying delivery for two , I believe DoorDash takes cut from the actual price on stacked calls.
Nice Job on explaining each call you received.
Yep that’s exactly what I thought, just DoorDash wants you to build your acceptance rate so the bad orders are not stuck. Like other comment I read they need to start having a minimum tip per mile driven, cuz man… $2 tip for 6 miles? That’s crazy. And people wonder why their order arrives cold 😂😭
I once had a $2-3 dollar tip for driving 10 miles. But I'm still a fairly new driver so kind of accept even the crap orders. I've only been dashing for about two and half months.
You should've done 25 orders at 100% acceptance rate!
Every door dasher should just stop delivering for a whole week to see if those ceo appreciate the hard work that it takes to deliver food and other merchandise considering the high prices of gas and everything else who knows maybe they’ll pay more when they start to see there business go to shit 😡
You gonna pay everyone bills?
What like Door Dashers go on strike? Lol 😂 and right who’s going to pay our bills??
How about get a normal job. Stop being lazy pos
hushh brokieee😂😂
Bro I’m a dasher and driving is so difficult, so much hard work. And yeah like 25 a hour is awful. People man 🤦♂️
What people
Don’t get is something like 17 dollars for 13 miles is terrible. They are telling you 13 miles one way not the drive back into the delivery zone. The real milage for that order would be 26 miles in reality for 17. Absolutely not worth the drive. And that’s even if the order was actually ready.
Exactly. Also, what would you say is a good order/milage ratio?
But if your a top dasher there isn't any need to drive back just continue working in the zone it took you to
@@dcpride233 has nothing to do with it. There are delivery zones and you will only even get another order if you are near those zones and if they happen to have an order.
I usually get orders in the new zone. And many times I get an order taking me back.
Sometimes I get orders popping me in and out of the zones all night long why don't they just make it one big zone?
May be worth considering: the dash app isn't just going off of your acceptance rate, it is using a complex algorithm. Things like rating, speed, location are going to be factored in, as well as what jobs you take normally. Taking all offers may have messed with your algorithm.
I think if you strategically take jobs now that your acceptance rate is high, it will likely spit out more jobs you would likely take.
I only work two dinner shifts a week and my acceptance rate is not bad, because I only when its busy and dinner shift pay better . I won’t dash towards certain areas because of poor cell service day. AT&T .The algorithm has slowly picked up on it, and barely sends me orders heading in that direction..
Yeah I noticed most times customers always tell me I'm their express order. Witch I didn't know some of us could be express drivers. I do speed alot and I always get their food to them way before the time. We should get paid a lil extra for me and express driver. That's some they tell the customer and not the driver
Man that’s crap rates. $80 for 3 hours after including fuel and wear and tear costs means you’re losing money but you don’t realize it.
3 variables i think play into your experiment that I think you overlooked. Day of the week. What day of the week was day one etc. I wonder what days of the week your 50-75 window was in, for example. As well, a more intentional and comprehensive analysis of time of day. As well as how much time did it take...the 100 deliveries? was it in 7 days or 13 or 21...and were you driving 3 to 4 hours a day or were you driving 6 to 8 hours a day. Interesting video. Just wish I had more data!
I made the effort last month to go from 23% to over 70% and it def helped me get some good orders. But when I got over 70 I feel like DD decided to take advantage of me and tried to make me their bitch and sent me crappy orders.
My sweet spot is right where you said it would be... 55-72%
Thanks for this content, it complemented my own split testing efforts and tells me I'm on the right track.
Idk but i got top dasher this month and i didn't even to get it. I finished 38% acceptance rate last month. I hardly doordashed last month because the app was glitchy all the time.

Im still facing the same problem but I have to manually fresh the app ever second to make sure i dont have order missing.
Do any of yall have to the glitching problem on Iphones or is it just samsung?
Acceptance rate only matters when it comes to the tiered system. My acceptance rate is 97% and my orders are not increasing in pay. I’m not getting more offers either. Last Friday I only received 6 orders in 8 hours, while a fellow dasher consistently got orders all day with an acceptance rate of 85%.
I just did a Friday night shift on Uber Eats. It was pretty fun. I started at 9pm, finished at 2am and I could have kept going. The strip club kept ordering and TIPPING! Love when people understand TIPS!
No tip, watch the food flip!

@@letzgo905 Are you a bot? I keep seeing you post this same comment several times.
@@letzgo905 you’re a bot
The one said 16 miles. Likely nothing where you dropped off out of your zone. Thats about 10-15$ in gas, wear and tear etc. So what is your time worth? Sounds like you paid out of your pocket to deliver that.
When dealing with DD, It's your common sense versus an A.I. system.
If the order isnt paying well it doesnt matter what your acceptance rate is , simple!! But good to keep it above 50%
50% of the offers I receive pay .50 cents or less per mile. I do not think Top Dasher is in my future.
If I accepted every order oh my I would make terrible money
Yeh that's stupid and he's wasting high ass gas prices I only take $7.50 and up and drive no further then 7 miles unless It it pay very well
Your only considering the delivery mileage to the customer not back to the restaurants. Double the mileage you came up with and thats what your actually driving.
DoorDash is the worst company I’ve ever worked for so far. On top of not getting good orders they are withholding pay. Changing pay schedules and seem to be operating in a very shady way. I’m not impressed with them atm.
We need a certain amount of top dashers around to take the really low or bad orders. If we lose them then dd will have a problem to solve : getting the low pay orders delivered. Dont assume that if no one takes them then theyll be forced to pay us fairly. What's likely to happen is dd will try and find other ways to get us to take them . We dont want that. What we have now works fine . My AR i think is 30 percent.
Thank you!!! That's how you do a vlog video! Bro keep filming 👍
So my area gas is hovering around $5.89 a gallon! So my miles has to be much lower and they have to tip !
What? lol. When you were at between 50% to 70% acceptance rate, you getting really good orders in that 25 order block that you did could have just EASILY been a coincidence. You would have to this experiment many times, minimum like 3 times to even come close to getting a good idea if your theory is correct. Also now you have to do an experiment of another 100 orders when you're at a 100% acceptance rate.
this is the one comment that is factually accurate.
Exactly, doordash is so random that it would be really hard to prove anything. Every day is different.
My tips and hourly rate are worse a then when I started...
100 in a row doesn't work because the weekends are always better then the week days so you should jeep the 100 percent for one week and compare for a Full week that you normally do so we could really see
good point
The ONLY benefit I've found with having Top Dasher status is being able to dash whenever I want. That's it. I feel like I've made the best overall money at around 75-80% acceptance rate. I refuse to bring people food that refuse to tip.
Yeah me too, I feel like I'm missing when the schedule hits is at 3pm for you too?
You know I can’t really get above .83 per mile BUT I am considering ALL miles. From start to finish because that’s the real story. Is everyone considering their dead miles as well in the gas mileage????
17 minutes! im so excited.. taking every order are my favorite of your videos or the challenges
I feel like doordash is paying you, they are trash
DD no longer claims priority for better orders with Top Dasher. Earnings are a combination of market, culture, time of day, day of week, day in month, proximity to restaurant, number of active dashers… in other words it’s random from a drivers perspective. Acceptance rate 0%-100% doesn’t matter. DD WANTS ALL ORDERS DELIVERED AND DOESN’T CARE IF THE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS MAKE MONEY OR LOSE MONEY DOING IT.
What do you mean, they just recently made updates claiming that if you have a high acceptance rate you become a top dasher and you get more priority for the better orders. I'm not disagreeing with you on the other things you said where they don't care if you make good money or not. But they did make the claims.
in other words LUCK or lack of.
@@robmen1402 Well, those "high Value" orders were mostly crap. For example they would offer a 2.5 mile trip for 5.00 and call that "high Value" PPPFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
They also never did reset my acceptance rate.
@@billpii6314 Well, technically you're getting $2 per mile for that order, which is great. But, it's a very small order, lol.
Hold up, just FYI after getting my acceptance rate up I’ve been getting these catering orders with mad hidden tips. $25-100 tips @ 80-90% acceptance rate. Just saying
When you got the rate up you got such shit orders! $5 for 5 miles? Thanks for doing the work.
Dude you gotta realize once you get your acceptance rate 85+% you can just start cherry picking the better ones and declining the low $/mi and small orders and it is the best way where I’m at. Easy to keep it above 70% and there’s maybe one morning every other month I gotta accept everything to get my ratings up.
great answer
Btw way if just go work at pizza hut you get $15/hr also small delivery area, also, $10 is an average tip as a pizza driver fyi. Thats why assholes dash it. Avoid $5 fee and the $10 tip. My advice to people as if they cannot afford fast food they need to buy tuna and peanut butter and keep it in there cabins at home
Why don’t you do what your viewers want and acknowledge the charity drive stuff?
Cause he's a scammer, he will wait out till everyone forgets just like the comment section is doing now. Before 90 % were charity drive comments, now people forgot and are thanking him for his door dash tips.
No one cares
He fucking won he’s gained 200 new subs since what a sick man you are Blake.
Wait what did he do? I'm new here. Thanks.
@@aHavenForTheLost read this as fast as possible he likes to delete my comment
OMG these numbers seem like high school money these apps after pandemic sucks balls,,, kid money, wasting car miles and wear and tear
Is it really worth it because of I'm sure lot of miles for crappy orders
Sushi places tend to have higher pay
I would of liked to see your active time / dash time and how many miles you drove through out multiplied by $ on gas. Just to break it down as to how much you made hourly. I bet your car hates you. Cheers
What about all the gas spent and the time returning to your starting point each time?
Nice video
How do I not get just grocery orders
So AR is basically meaningless. the sample size is probably too small to show any real trend.
As usual is gig companies, think the drivers are stupid!! Acceptance rate doesn’t matter at all as long as there is a warm body to deliver the food, and the gig company gets the money from the fees!!
I’m sure this is affected by the day of the week and the time of the day.
Me too, I’m 100% sure. The high pay order program could be $4 and they’ll give it to you with a little baby diamond next to it lol.
I agree,,day of the week does matter
There’s too many $2.75 orders for like 56 miles to do every order like if it’s not five or better I don’t go and I I want to try to do this one day to see if it really works because even when I was priority it says 375 for like 8 miles I’m like how does that work if it’s priority and you’re giving me the low $3.75 for 8 miles who’s winning not me I’m doing that which Y’all think
I feel like Door Dash will initially give the crappy dashes to drivers with high AR's because they know that they'll take the delivery. And give the better dashes to driver who have lower AR's and if any are left over then they will send them to drivers with high AR's. I was over 90% AR for a while and didnt get my first "big" delivery until I started rejecting dashes.
Not worth it. I DoorDash from home. I just decline till a good one comes in. I’m sticking with that
But what happens when you live in a smaller town?
I don’t think there are many high paying orders out there. And if doordash doesn’t kick in some money to make up for bad tippers there will continue to be very few.
People are not tipping correctly to make it worth our while and, I don’t think doordash is giving people any guidance as to what is a proper tip for their order.
I also don’t think customers know how many miles they are from the restaurant they are ordering from.
EXACTLY you hit the nail on the head right there. I am sick and tired of orders coming through for $2.50-$3.00 for one or 2 items and 15 miles away??? SERIOUSLY WTF 😳??? And I do think Door Dash should explain to people that we are not charity or volunteers this is a job just like them!! Think we are f*ck** slaves??? Pisses me off…
Also I started doordashing when it first came out and minimum base pay was 6 dollars so it isn't just the customer it's doordash too,they lowered base pay a couple years ago seems like no one's knows that
@@StickyFingerss was it $6 base pay for ALL orders, no matter how big or small? Thanks
@@Allsorts-w2n yes it was 6 dollars minimum
For a true test shouldn't you have started at a 0 AR?
You guys and gals need to say where you are from. Seems to be a big difference in what state or area you’re in
After 100 orders i got worse offers and had to set boundaries with the decline button down to 85ish
I do about $30/hr instacart usually less than a few miles.
Why does you aspected all the DoorDash order
Please be careful 🙏 roads are treacherous love your content
Why doordash change don't show the items?
I had one day where I was getting banger orders..only 1 decline all day. The next day out totally different situation. AR is mid 70s
I see a flaw in your method though, a couple days you only did 4 hours, bascally if small orders were the norm, you stop, and try again next day for better average tips? I think to fully realize everything you would have to commit to 8 hour days for 5 days,, or 20 orders per day no matter what,,,
Was going to do this but $6.75 for 11 miles no and UberEats pays way more.
How much do they pay in your market? They pay $2-3 :p
$17 for 13 miles crazy, than you have to drive back? I don't drive more than 4 miles. Did 3 orders one miles a piece today for each over $6. So $18 for about 3 miles while you did $17 for 13 miles. Like I said crazy. Lol
Dooor dashing is capping ! I’ve already tested this and it doesn’t matter if you have 100% or 60% you’ll get the same orders
Doordash is Capaholics I cherry pick to where my AR is down below 10% and Friday and today the only orders I accepted were quality orders better paying orders than the majority in this video
Certain areas will force you to cherry pic.
@@RickyMoss You're right, DD is liars. But, friday is a great day for DD the whole weekend is and the weekends are the busiest, so the chances of anyone getting good orders on those days are really high no matter what your acceptance rate is.
They have been capping since I started and if you get behind the next day or two they catch u up uber eats caps also
My markets different but I've always had a high acceptance rating. So I've already doordash knows I not taking crazy orders. In my market is based upon not going to certain places versus as the orders because we'll get the good orders
I believe stats are based upon 100 orders… So if you took 101 straight orders .. How is your AR only 95%. Other night I took 5 orders and declined one but I lost 2 AR points. DoorDash app is so screwy it seems
IMHO, these test are flawed from jump street, I think over say a month or 2 the money and orders would even out as most markets do what they do. I would be interested in your actual adhing time and active time. I saw a video where a dude was making 1300 a week dash time was right around 40 hours but active time was almost 100. I have no desire to be out 14 hours a day and only 6 count making money.
This guy is working for free!
were you getting pay by the order plus tips or by the hours plus tips? i'm new to doordash did 14 order, in 8 hours to only get pay 88.60 in 8 hours! is this like a beginner thing? i took on any order as you did and started to see the pay getting higher after 11:30pm i ended the 12:30am last night...
Bruh delivered 100 orders making Doortrash about $3500-4000 and he's doing the heavy lifting using his vehicle and gas. His cut will probably be around $700-800 going to him. Then, he has to give uncle Sam his cut. Leaving him ...💩💸😁
He just made another payment for Tony Xu's Lambo...🤣
The solo app is not very good in Tampa Bay area. It comes out to be what you'd make anyways and your supposed to accept nearly everything to get paid the difference.
Frankly, I don't understand why these Doordashers make these videos when UberEats pays more.
Yea and Instacart is blowing up in my area. But I don't feel like shopping.
Great stats to consider.... no fluff. just the facts.
Utah market is crazy 🤩🤩 it's not Cali or Florida but it's really good!
I'm not even halfway thru the vid and I'm wondering what days of the week are you working? If your first 50 orders are mid-week and the next 50 orders ae on the weekend it'll skew the result.
still don't have any metric for the quality of orders coming in. Needs to be a consideration.
Is the solo app a sponsor? I’m pretty sure you have to make it clear if it is and it is not clear at all. It seems like a simple tip to help people out but that could lead people to download an app that they wouldn’t of had they known it was a tip you were paid to give. If it’s not a sponsor, it would help to say that as well.
What the hell is the point of hidden tips
Your bad day totals are my best day totals! 😂😭
Are you in GA. That freddys looks awfully familiar
So the solo app overrides needing to apply and be hired ? Or does it only attach to jobs you already have ?

I was at 37% because I didn’t want to take those 2.00 and 3.00 orders, but a friend of mine told me you have to take the crappy orders and once you get your acceptance rate up you’ll see better orders. I did and now up to 60% and I went out last night and did pretty well.I am seeing a few better orders. I also believe time of day plays a huge role. I struggle at night with addresses but i know they incentives late at night so you can make more
What he said false. It doesn’t matter if you have priority on the higher orders if there aren’t higher paying orders that are close. If people aren’t tipping they just aren’t. What DD needs to do is up base pay or force a minimum tip.
@alpha6games751 I think you may be correct. You get based on what they're getting... his dollar per order really wasn't that much different between when he started his trial, and when he ended it.
Is the SOLO app different for the Everlance app? Newbie here doing research. Thank you
Yeah it’s different. I prefer solo tbh
I made 22.77$ working 2 hours 2 dollar orders the next day my lowest order was 4.50 just the way it is
It'd be utter suicide to do that in Bradenton FL. Some very high mile doubles for like $6 to $8.
can you help me about door dash tax please?
At $1.18 per mile after expenses you are working for free
Taking eveey order means way too many miles an 70 dollars deceeases with expenses
Great content man
How come none of these drivers bother to figure in the tax deductions self employed people get? I have been self employed for years doing various gigs and the tax deductions alone are literal cash cows. My husband makes a six figure income and at tax time my self employment ensures we get refunded 100% of the taxes he paid during the year plus since my vehicle is used for my business my expenses are also deductible. If you people aren’t keeping up with the stuff that’s deductible you are leaving a fortune on the table for Uncle Sam and that’s just dumb.
