As a full time doordash driver, I make 1.5K per week and decline 1000+ orders. I don’t take anything less than $7 per trip. I decline everything which is either too far or too cheap. And exactly as you described in the video, I know all the restaurants which are slow. Unless it’s a juicy payout, I stay away from those too. Another thing I’d like to mention is keep your car in the low revs to save gas, preferably below 2000rpm all the time, and avoid aggressive acceleration. Also, don’t turn your car off for every order, preserve your starter motor.
What’s your ideal mileage range per order?
@@ShamelessPicker if you aren't making about $1.50-$2 per mile, reevaluate.
Wow! How many hrs do you average weekly?
Do you decline or let the time run out?
It seems like your acceptance rate goes down to much but no one should be penalized for rejecting terrible orders
I just committed to no fast food (chipotle, taco bell, chick fila) and regularly make $20+ per hour
It would be great if there was a way to filter out orders you don’t want, like to apartments, or specific restaurants, or over a certain mileage or under a certain order amount so that you don’t even get notified.
Youd have way more competition id that were possible
It’s kind of messed up we try to order food and can’t trust doordash accepting under 20 dollars orders.
Julio, you can Trust door dash, its a Legal business and they do background on the drivers 😒! Dont be Mad people dont want to accept less pay for Their travel, for food they're NOT even eating! Get up & get to the restaurant yourself if there's a problem with people wanting decent pay and Refuse less 😒!!
@@juliorobinson5386 Would you want to work for effectively $5 an hour? Low dollar items mean lower tips and when you add time and mileage, many small orders just are not worth taking.
@@kmoore4896 Agree!!! 👍🏻
10 minute wait is my cutoff. Had a KFC order a few weeks ago and was told 15 minutes for the chicken. Dropped that one so fast and 3 minutes later I got a stack for $20
Will this not hurt your rating enough to get deactivated?
I haven’t gone to a Chipotle yet because I’ve declined every order for being too low lol I’m starting to learn which restaurants people don’t like to tip at, there’s a local Sushi restaurant though where tips are always super high it’s awesome when I get those!!
People that order lots of sushi are generally higher educated and make more money. They appreciate your hard work getting it to them with no issues. Unless they are students with no money.
Chipotle orders are decent in my market. Usually $6-8 dollars per 3-5 miles
I’ve watched several of these DoorDash channels. And the quoted order pay is always much better than we ever see here south of Columbus. A 10.00 is super rare and usually involves a 10 mile drive. One way.
5 of 6 times they have the order ready at Chipotle where I live. Know your market. 15 minute wait. I did another order on my stacked then came back and picked up the waited on order.
I’ve watched a lot of your video. Very helpful and informative to someone like me. I’m new doing doordash only one month but I’m enjoying it because of your tips & tricks on how to effectively do dashing. Thank you much. I’m subscribed to your channel btw.
I usually do 545-830pm after that it’s over . I turn down most orders that say $8-10 & 8 miles . I’m looking for orders that say $7-10 and 3-4 miles . It’s about how many orders can I do since dinner time is only 2-2.5 hrs peak
Very well said, I'm the same I finish around 8:30PM
@@YourDriverMike that's what I do during lunch Saturdays in my market. Yeah some orders are only $6 bucks but when you're going 1 mile (Or less!) I can get 3 deliveries in the time it takes me to do one $9 order in a different part of the market. BTW, most orders are $7-8 at times. Add the occasional $1-2 Peak Pay and the *considerably* less miles...BONUS!
@@richardkimpel6142 thanks for the tip I’m gone note that today
@@Ktbcuts glad I could help. One more thing, I live near a small University so a lot of that is getting up, late morning hangover cures, and the munchies.
Good strategy. I'm new and have been sent out on 30 mile! round trips for a next to nothing tip during prime time! Live and learn.
My local Chipotle has amazing pickup. No employee interaction at all, orders always ready and set off on a shelf. However, there are certain restaurants I will not go to, even for 10 bucks for a mile. 30 minute drive through lines are never worth it.
Same. The amount of times a get a stacked order of it also allows me to take smaller orders that I wouldn’t take from other places
Same here😄🍉🥬🥝🍓
Well said, most Chipotles it's like that as they have those pick up shelves. It allows everyone to focus on what they need to get done. But those certain locations like that one restaurant you noticed just aren't on their game
@@YourDriverMike It's a real bummer too, for both the restaurants and the dashers. One of my local McDonald's for example. Prime location in town, I always get order after order from there and always decline because their only option for dashers is to go through the drive through which is always slammed. I've seen multiple dashers waiting for orders in a close parking lot and no one will go there.
In my market most Chipotle's are quite good. There is one that seems to never be on time though...
I typically go for the lunch and dinner rush for door dash
Thanks for these tips. I felt like I was on an episode of punkd yesterday. I Kept getting 3 and 4 dollar delivery requests . I took them because it was really slow. But after this vid.. I may need to change my delivery area and decline more orders.
Thanks for watching Roquella!
Me too! I dash at night always. Today I dashed from 12-4:30 made 110.00 I’m ok with that
I’m new to the gig economy and your videos have been super helpful! Thanks, Mike!
I have only been dashing for a month or so, & already there is 1 local Chinese takeout I won't go to & 3 Chipotle locations I won't go to. I learned pretty quickly they're just not in a hurry. Thankfully my customers were VERY understanding as I communicated with them, but eventually I'll find a customer who doesn't want to hear it 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for these videos, they're very reassuring as I get nervous turning down so many orders but I really don't want to waste my time 😅
I just finished my fourth door dash shift. I learned a whole lot in 4 days, but your video was great and very helpful! Up here in Capital Region NY, the chain restaurants are pretty good about having your order ready, and I would say, especially Chipotle. The worst chain restaurant here is Friendly s and The local restaurants are hit and miss
I was taking some BS runs to faraway places for no tip. I won’t do that any longer. Great channel, I will watch all of the other ones
I watch all ur videos n am subscribed. Thanks for all ur info!!!! 😉
I appreciate that Nicole thank you!
Great video!
Best door dash time is definitely dinner time on Saturday or Sunday From 330pm-7pm
I decline orders also that put me in the ghetto. Especially as a female, I also occasionally unassigne based on safety issues.
Same here
Here in Florida it’s hard with the miles but things are manageable! Great vid
Lol first week I went down to 19% acceptance. This past week seems like every order is good for me. After a month my acceptance is 49%
Good points
2:51 🤣🤣🤣 definitely gotta get lucky with chipotle. Either already on the rack or gotta wait 15 min easy
Truth
Your so right about the wait times. I've taken a $3 delivery because it was like only 2 blocks around and that particular location of that McDonalds was so busy for orders that all the deliveries were just around 2 blocks away. Oriental Restaurants are my favorites because it's already just a pickup and go. Funny how I want to just do at least 4 hours but, it's like an addiction that everytime I get an order I couldn't resist buy take it and then,I end up 10-12 hours shift non stop. The evening shifts for me is more higher pays throughout the mornings. Only problem at night is that I can't see physical home address numbers on the buildings which causes me to stress trying to locate the actual building. Thanks again,Mike.
Glad to help Rosaline thanks for watching 👊🏻🏦
I'm glad I'm not the only one who declines orders due to a history of long waits for pickups, orders that are higher paying. In my area, Honolulu, there are no Chipotle restaurants but California Pizza Kitchen is bad like that. I gave up on them after multiple times of waiting 30 minutes, them sealing the tamper-proof sealing the bag so I couldn't check it, then the customer telling me they're missing an item.
Thank you.
I just finished my first day as a door dasher, and it had some roughy parts.
Orders for Walmart grocery trips are pretty common in this area, and I finished my day going from out local super centers town a long winding road in the rural part of town. And Walmart pays us almost most nothing, so without a good tip, it won’t be worth it. I made more money delivering small orders of Chinese food to much more close by homes.
I will definitely pay closer intention to the dashes for now on.
But supposedly the Walmart spark app pays more
I'm not doing Chipotle during peak times, kills me to wait for these orders when faster restaurants can keep it moving along just fine.
My chipotle SUCKS at online orders ! they have us wait outside even if its raining
Know your area well enough to know which areas to avoid especially at night. Avoid fast food places unless the circumstances break in your favor like he said.
All the wendy's in my area are absolutely trash. They never start the order until you arrive.
I stopped going to fast foods. No negative results from doing so
had an order at Wendys for the first time tonight and the same happened to me.
I’d call or txt the customer right there infront of all of those trashy staffs and say to the customer “I’m so sorry to bother but I have to let you know that Wendy’s has not started preparing your order until I arrived so I’d order from some other place other than this one. They don’t treat their customers right. I’ll lyk when I pick up the order and when I should be arriving.” And see what the Wendy’s employees reactions are like.
@@jilianlutsky7343 fast food places are usually understaffed and slammed. Don’t act entitled Jillian
Wendy’s is so slow
I’ll do dinner orders up until 7pm. I live on the order side of the state( Philly area) and as I’m sure you know, Pennsylvania has a lot of deers. So I try to be done when it starts getting dark.
i tried to areas in mentor oh and westlake both chipottle are horable wait times i declined all of them bc yes time is money and they take up to an hour
*DoorDash likes to screw over customers that tip by stacking their order with non tippers. So your food ends up cold because someone else didn’t tip*
I decline allot. Must think of pay and car❤️
Very true, something we can never forget about and a very important asset
Pay snd car 😂.
Thank you 😊
Glad to help Rhonda
Chipotle had a promotion the other weekend and im pretty sure thats why the store was literally packed in my city too.
Chipotle doordashing in Lancaster PA is horrible. Always a loooong wait.
I live in Phoenix where the population density is low so getting a 3:1 dollar to mile ratio is pretty much impossible. I generally aim for better than 1:1, but don't even hold out for 2:1. I can still earn $30/h during weekend dinner rushes if the peak pay is high enough
I just started not long ago. I have delivered over 50 orders so far, 100% completion rating until an order at a stupid bakery. When I got there, there was only 1 lady working. I could see the whole kitchen because it's an open kitchen just behind the counter. She was chopping vegetable. She said she just got the order and there were a few orders ahead. I had to cancel the order and my Completion rating dropped 2%. Jesus, if you only had 1 person working, just close for the day.
Funny enough, I found this video for something COMPLETELY un-related, but I had a Chipotle nightmare last night. Of course it was the last order of the night for me. Wait time was over 30 minutes, AND delivery was in a massive apartment complex that took me over 20 minutes to find the right building, even while on the phone with the customer trying to help me out. Didn't help that the customer was horrible with directions. Had no idea where I was even with driver tracking on his app and kept saying "Go that way." without any N/S/E/W direction.
Chipotles in Raleigh/Durham NC are almost never worth taking. Always waiting like 10 minutes, couple times I've had 30 minute waits with a dozen or more dashers standing around waiting with me. I typically skip out on them all together now because of how many times I've been burned with a stacked order waiting 10+m for the Chipotle order. It's a shame because the dpm is also typically decent.
Thanks Mike
Glad to help Corey 👊🏻
Hi Mike love your videos bro thanks man but I have one question please is declineing to much order is blocking my ubereat account or no? Please reply me
Another way to deal with long waits at non-Walmart merchants is what I call double-shifting.
Yes it depends on management😁. Our 1 Wendy’s is a nightmare but 2 miles away is another one that is sweeet
Well said
Wendy's is always slow its never ready when I get there. I decline most of their orders unless its slow with requests.
chiplotle is super fast in santa rosa, california. idecline all day tho. 26% acceptance. i do alot of breakfast\lunch. peak pay means nothing in california and dinner wait times are too long.
The Pittsburgh area Chipotle 's suck. I have one in my Hometown of Washington PA that is awesome but the 1 in Peter's township and most of the others are horrible. And don't even get me started on Moe's
I'm new to dashing. For example, at the 1:31 mark, it shows 15 mins and 3.1 miles. Is that 15 mins and 3.1 miles from restaurant to delivery location?
i had a chipotle order last night. i walk in and its slammed. i see 3 other gig app drivers waiting. i wait almost 30 minutes and end up canceling. i learned my lesson big time!
I've experienced almost that very same thing before, I just think Chipotle is one of those go-to delivery spots for customers
@@YourDriverMike hey Mike, I wanna thank you for all the info you provide on your channel. It's helped me average 27 bucks an hour the last two nights on UE. I've been canceling orders left and right and picking the highest miles to dollar ration per your advice. So thank you!
I wanted to point something out that can negatively effect Completion Rate on DoorDash and how to handle it.
This last weekend, I received deliveries from a local McDonald's. Both times I went to the store, they did not have the delivery code at the store. In six months I had unassigned one delivery. This day I unassigned two orders! After contacting Driver Support, I was told if this happened again to contact Driver Support, have them delete the order, and receive "half pay" for the orders. Apparent this particular McDonald's was having a tablet/hardware issue.
Just want to help drivers if they experience this issue in the future.
So something like that outside of your control should be an unassignment via DD instead of a driver cancellation. Thanks Richard!
@@YourDriverMike that is what the rep said. Hopefully my CR going down will help someone else so it doesn't!
Just experienced that last night and had to cancel and lose 8 dollar tip😒 after waiting 16 mins for them to tell me they didn't have it😐
@@Scantronacon the struggle is real! I hear ya and that sucks!
I work in Pittsburgh too. Downtown parking by the point is atrocious.
Every chipotle I’ve been to has either already had the food ready or I only had to wait 5 minutes or less. Maybe I’ve gotten lucky.
There’s one Chipotle here that takes so long and the orders are never ready. I gave them another try the other day and ended up being there for almost an hour with another DoorDash driver. Normally I would have unassigned it but I had been in contact with the customer throughout the whole incident. I’m definitely learning which places are not worth it at all
That may be a record for wait times, did the customer at least give you a good tip of all that waiting?
@@YourDriverMike I believe the original tip amount she left was either $3 or $4...nothing additional (from her) after drop off. I did;however, reach out to DoorDash customer support throughout the ordeal and after the second conversation with them they gave me an additional $5 to compensate me for my wait. So total, including that additional $5, was a total of $13 for an hour of my time. I believe the other Dasher that was there waited 45 minutes. I advised him to contact support as well. The order was less that 2 miles which is why I accepted it and it ended up costing me too much time. That was the last straw for that restaurant lol...love your channel btw (sorry for the long reply lol)
What would you if you get an order that's breeds dollar to mile ratio but It takes you out of hot zone?
If you start your shift earlier, the less wait time you had; dinner time at McDonald or sushi place or panago pizza had the biggest wait time.
Here in Philly I won't go to a wendys if they were paying me $30. Just awful. The inside isn't open (literally only restaurant to still be closed inside) so you have to wait in drive thru. Usually that line is out to the street. When they give you the food it's handed to you like you just ordered it. Horrible packaging to be doing deliveries
Wait time for me is 7 minutes. After that I'm losing money.
I dash in the Southwest Metro area of MN in the Twin Cities. I hate to decline orders after I click them. But I have had times where because of the Dasher App I am not given all the information I need to make a proper decision. So, for example I am at my peak area and I get a ping to go to Mcdonalds. No problem I accept it to find out it is not one of the MCD's near my location but the MCD across the river and 15 minutes away. I think a smart person would decline it. I worry about being deactivated so I take it and end up killing 45 minutes of earning time. Is there a better way to see where you are going and where you will end up?
Just got one of those.
In my area Chipotle is busy but they are on their game, they are usually ready but if not 5 min is top wait. Been using your tips Mike since June ‘22 and am hitting $650+ on a six day work week. I am now exploring early deliveries for Uber and DD to maximize and fine tune monthly income. BTW, just after Labor Day Uber nose dived on me DD saved my bacon. Then a week or so later the stock market tanked and both orgs dropped. Now Uber and DD are back, last I saw average days of $120+ in earnings. I see some who say they make $1000 or more per week. I’m not sure that’s possible in my market but if I threw in Sunday’s I could see hitting $800+ per week. But, I wouldn’t have a life. Keep em coming.
He right, chipotle is a no for him. Chipotle in Oregon is a absolute yes for every dasher, you gotta take orders to see how restaurants are
Thanks for watching!
Yeah Chipotle is usually slow in my area
There are certain resturaunts I don't even bother taking. Out here it is Popeyes, and Pappa Johns pizza. They don't make the food until you get there and then expect you to wait along with 15 other people. No thanks.
I've had longer waits from Popeyes, PJs is decent.
Lol, yeah BK and McDonald's both wait til you arrive before they even start the order in my area, and McDonald's in particular will not address their counter customers however they will not help DD in the drive through
True when I do McDonald's I notice that as well, Matt avoids McD's in addition to Chipotle. McD's are usually pretty low paying as well.
chipotle is touch and go. If it's a busy time at lunch, chipolte tends to be slow. but during dinner, chipolte is okay and our local pizza places are slow.
Nice job understanding your market
Hi Mike I tried to decline as many as I can but I only work a four hour shift 12 noon to 430 I don’t like driving after dark so I get a lot of $6 I take some of them and some of them I decline if I declined all of them I had eventually be finished with my shift so I guess on a short shift I’ll take a six dollar call just so I can make some money
Im super new to the platform. I averaged $39 bucks an hour last week. This week was $26. I was down on my last $9 bucks for fuel one night and I made $46 bucks on my first 4 orders (55 miles of driving) Easy way to fill back up if you have a dashdirect pay. Key to making more money is by having a vehicle that gets EXCELLENT gas mileage. My nissan Versa is a great little delivery car,or better yet get yourself a Honda if you don't already have one. You won't regret it. My new goal is $50-$75 per day as a part time gig and for the weekends Im pushing for $100 bucks a day which is a piece of cake in my region.
1 of the Chipotles by me is always always10-20+ minutes behind because they do not bring the pick up orders out and put them on the shelves as they are ready they hold like 10-20 orders at a time in the back and than bring them out in bulk because they claim people have been stealing the orders if they do not do it this absurd way. The location is now on my blacklist along with any fast food place with drive through pick up only. The wait time is just not worth it unless it is $15+ per order imo.
Same as you, last time I waited 45 minutes for a Chipotle order During evening rush hour. The worth thing is they don’t tell me how long I have to wait when I ask them. That why I’m not accept any Chipotle order during rush hours again.
That's a good call, always ask and if they can't even get you an estimate I would wait that one time but really consider ignoring next time
I only wait 5 minutes and then cancel if not ready.
@@aprils6971 Nice, because I’m thinking what if the order is ready right after I canceled. Then that means I actually waited an order for someone else. That why I kept waiting and waiting, and fall into the trap😂.
I started dashing like a week ago first day was amazing 10 dollar offers suddenly the next day I got comfortable to accept a 3.50 offer to be nice and deliver it. I ended up in some difficult apartments and I got my tire popped by a nail on the road & no tip just what DD pays. Trust me when I say this don’t accept cheap offers even if they are near it’s not worth it. Go for 8+ offers on a slow day 7 if you are next to the restaurant & location is close by.
Same happened to me today everything 5 and under then I was on a raggedy Ann road🤣 I was so pissed I said never again ... I got no tip drove 11miles for $4 like a fool this is my second day
@@tiffanysgottimetoday4589 hahaha if you want tips message me I got the hang of it lol
That happened to me too before I knew to decline orders. I accepted a $3 order no tip or anything just DD base pay and it was 14 miles away and it was an entire hour for the delivery just for $3. I was so irritated and I learned my lesson to start paying attention to how many miles I’m driving for the pay... yesterday too I got stuck waiting at chick fil a for 40 mins... after 15 mins I should’ve cancelled and moved on. It was also a no tip order so I spent an hour or so for another $3 order smh.
I’m having a difficult time estimating the mileage , I received an $9.25 order that was 5 mins to the merchant but 26 mins to drop off , I was highly upset
Yes, I didn't even know it told you how far the customer is until you accepted it! Need to get my skills up... now that I think of it, I still don't know where it tells you or how to get that information especially when your driving
happens to me too its bs
@@eelectricsnake5797 do you know now how?
On Ubereats is it better to decline the order if you don't want it or just let it time out and go to another driver? Someone said it hurts you if you keep declining orders.
Big boy is usually the restaurant in my area that is either slow or never has the order in. It wastes my time, time and time again.
Guy what will the total payout be for this order (5:55) because I see it says 2 orders? is total 10 or 20?? 5:55
Hi. Please advise me as regards to family members intercepting, or putting in their own orders about where and how to drop off the customer's order. I received a thumb down because a young lady's father went and got her from the house to receive her order, when she requested I leave her burgers on top of the car in the driveway, in the rain, lol.
Another one that could have gotten me a thumb down was when a husband told me to knock on the door for his wife to get her order. But she had requested I leave it at the door. Ty.
Lol I call support for anything! I make sure they make a report so that I have it in real time writing.
I have problems at big box stores wait times are very long !!
There's an Indian restaurant near me that takes 30 minutes to make every order. My new strategy is to accept it and then keep my other app open and accept a different order while I wait. So I get an Indian restaurant order on doordash, I accept and then accept another order on UberEATS. I do the Uber order, then go to the Indian restaurant. Works pretty nicely.
Thank you so much for your videos. It’s helped me so much as a new dasher. Started this week and completed about 30 orders. My rating is at 0 my acceptance rate at 40% but my completion rate at 100% and 100% on time. I understand that the customers have not rated me. Can I get deactivated bc of how low the rating and acceptance rate is. Thank you
Really appreciate those kind words David. You cannot be deactivated for having a low acceptance rating. You can be deactivated for having too low of a driver rating (4.6 threshold) but you haven't completed enough deliveries yet. DoorDash generally needs to see at least 100 lifetime deliveries so you're fine.
I had a stacked order where the first pickup said it would be 15 minutes before the pickup was ready. So I went to the 2nd pickup and came back, and still there was 3 minutes to go... but at least I saved some time by doing it out of the order suggested by the app.
Accept both, then cancel crappy one.
To get the tax deducción how do you do? How do you prove your miles driven?
There’s a Burger King in the area where I drive that has a closed lobby, so driver thru only…fail on time! Slow. Slow. Slow.
I just completed an hour and 15 minutes of my first dash deliveries today. Decided I needed to google to learn some tips. Landed on your videos. I completed 3 orders, with only ONE of them tipping. They were all grocery orders. One was a second story apartment and NO TIP... frustrating. I have been a customer of all the delivery apps and I can't imagine not tipping the driver.
I feel ya! I’ve been working about 2 months, a couple nights ago, very slow!!! I accept a $4 order and immediately get a stack, headed to same place. Then 1 final order, I made $10.25 for 1.5 hours! No tips from the 3. I don’t understand it… I live in Vegas! This is a tipping, service industry town!!! WTF are people thinking! I went from Valet at Caesars, Union job, making Bank, to this! I had a disc replacement surgery, and couldn’t work for a long while. We’d get mad, if we weren’t averaging $25-30 hour in tips, plus your hourly pay, and paid lunch breaks. I realize this sounds conceited, Please don’t think that!!! Just saying, all these casino jobs, half are Union, and benefits are awesome, and we struggle to make ends meat! I enjoy this job, simply because you control your shifts and make okay money, sometimes. But I can’t see this as a long term job. Just Venting. Hope it gets better for you too!! Just keep Hustling!
Great advice
My shift has been 6:00pm-2:00am. Lately the low hanging fruit has been towards the end of the shift.
I feel like there's great opportunities after 9PM in some markets 👊🏻🏦
What’s the ideal dollar per mile ratio?
Favorite Restaurants:
Chipotle- always ready waiting
McDonald’s- ONLY with lobby open OR fast/ empty drive thru
Inefficient Restaurants:
Taco Bell TACO bell TACO BELL
There's a couple Chipotle's in my area and one of them is absolutely horrible 10 + minute waiting times.
Thanks for watching Zachary 👊🏻
I have wanted to unassign an order but their isn't anywhere to unassign in the app. ???
Chipotle near where I live is awful on Weekend nights.20 min or more wait . Also a restaurant called Mr. Jalapeno is at least 15 minutes wait every time . I will not go there anymore .. Wendy's is awful also . At least 10-15 minutes in the drive thru .
I've seen long waits from Wendy's as well, good market research
If anybody can help! How bad declining orders will affect the "Acceptance Rate"? and is having a low rate of "Acceptance Rate" affects the type of orders we get?
Hi Rami, there is no penalty for declining orders on DoorDash
What I hate about my town is all the food is in town then the houses are far for some good pay then I have to come came into town to get orders 😫
Me too I wish I lived in the city. I have to drive out to bumble for every order
I never cancell. I respect the person who is ordering food. They want to eat. If I except a order no matter what I’m finishing it.
@Stephen Colorado I agree
I very rarely cancel, completion rate always around 98%-99% but there are times where I will need to cancel for some reason. A 20 minute wait is just too long most times, the customer will still get their order on time but it'll be from another driver
Your not making no money waiting and the customer isn't paying you to wait. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't work for free so why should you.
Off topic but I wanted to find a couple of the guys that I view on UA-cam that doordash and help out with it. There is a new screen, a security check, that comes up before getting into the doordash app. I do everything I'm supposed to do, I even called doordash support, and even emailed to this new security screen. Everything goes blank when I finish and I can't get into the app to start working
Hi Chris, I've never seen a security screen before being able to go online with DoorDash. Feel free to email or tweet me screenshots
@@YourDriverMike thanks for getting back mike, everything got taken care of today. There is a security situation to go through now at least out here in Kentucky. I don't believe it's a scam of any sort, let us know if you see anything about it please.
Again I'm sure it's not a Kentucky thing, let us viewers know if hits you. Thank you
Starting to really see the bit about restaurants that waist your time. Had a 20 minute wait on a stacked order at the first pickup yesterday. Question is how many chances to you give a place before they get put on your auto deny list? Saw one for them again today that was very tempting to give them another chance with due to dollar to mile.
I’ve given them 2-3 chances depending on pay and distance for that order
Chipotle and Wendy's are horrible in my area bc of wait time.
For Door dash example my start zone is in Los Angeles down town will I get orders from other order zones like Uber eats? Do I have to return to the zone I start to get more orders??
If you've scheduled a shift on DoorDash it's best to remain in that zone for orders. If you get pulled outside of that zone you may continue to get orders but to ensure the highest chance of getting orders you want to remain in your scheduled zone.
@@YourDriverMike thanks for replying.
I hate KFC dinner orders on Friday and Saturday nights here in MN. Our KFC only has drive thru pick up and cars can be backed up all the way into the street. And you never know how busy they are until you get there. Plus I seem to always get stacked orders from the app for this run. and they are always from two different restaurants. So I have one in the car and I am waiting for KFC. I contact my customers to let them know whats up. But again, I am worried about deactivation so I so I don't drop it. Also delivers from this KFC are never close to KFC. I end up way far away from any hot spots and waste earning time driving back to my area. But the payout looks good on paper.
I dash in a town with 8,000 people or 10,000 if I'm at home or at college.
You cant have the priviledge of declining bad orders on small cities, i deliver in brownsville Texas and because i listened to all the youtubers saying it does not matter acceptance rate now i cannot dash any time, only like after 12 am in the night like wtf, its too dangerous to do that here, oh and thats only on sat and sunday, rest of the week i Just see the schedule button which wont show me any dates in my City but in other ones which i would have to drive like 3 hours...
Im trying to open a New account
Taco Bell is slow as hell. DECINE
Oh my goodness super slow. Don’t forget Wendy’s and some McDonald’s
