If you think people get excited about food, try delivering with UPS and you’ll see people are always happy to get a package 📦. LOL!
Pro Tip:
Wearing DD, or any other platform's, t-shirt invites big problems. Many delivery drivers are covered by regular car insurance, instead of speciality insurance like rideshare. In an accident driver advertises to world, "hey, look at me. Delivery guy." If other party, witness, or police officer documents courier wearing that t-shirt, especially if an order is plainly visible, courier's insurance company will have major shit-fit. Courier will likely have committed insurance fraud, for driving as business without business or other specialized insurance, like rideshare. Regular policy holder's are usually limited to non-commercial driving ONLY. Violators will likely get their insurance dropped, and placed on insurance industry shit-list as high-risk liability, which means huge premium increase.
Forget the damn shirt.
Super Star ⭐️ great point I never thought of that angle. I hate the t shirts even more now!!!
I agree with Super Star - However one reason in favor of wearing the shirts is that it is nice when I walk into a restaurant and they know immediately who I am and why I'm there and I often get to skip the line and get my food sooner. Sometimes without the shirt it takes a long time to even be acknowledged.
I have news for you. The insurance company already knows...
how?
Change your insurance but that’s why I don’t do Uber.
Just picked up a $97 order from an office order through DoorDash yesterday and got a $20 cash tip in hand. Great 1st week through DoorDash at almost $510 so far, and the weekend just hit.
I am a DoorDash driver in San Diego and also do UberEats. I do not know how other markets are but here is SD. With DD I avg $8-$9 per delivery no matter if it is Jack in the Box or a taco shop. So I always accept those orders. If it is Out Back or Red Lobster it is $10-$12 per delivery. Uber pay is half or less per delivery. Best time for making money is between 3pm and 9pm. I also seem to find that the later the order... 9pm to 1am, the bigger the tip with DD. Not so with Uber. It can be a 1am Uber delivery and I will only make $3-$4. So I only do Uber as a time filler when DD is slow. Also, while I do schedule time slots with DD, when there are no slots available I can still work a full night shift because it does get busy and other drivers sign out early because they do not really want work late. Ie: last Saturday all the time slots were not available. But once 5pm came around the areas stayed red so I was able to just sign in and start working. I find that on weekends people tend to sign out early because they want to go to a social function of some sort. Since I mostly work at nights I park as close as possible. I will double park, park in red, loading zones, driveways. And I have never been ticketed. I never park in handicap of course. If I work downtown I made friends with all the security, doorman at the high rises. They let me park in the loading docks or right in front of the buildings. Also this time of year I do not accept any orders from any place located in a mall. No parking and a waste of time no matter how big the tip. I learned the hard way last year when I accepted orders from places in Horton Plaza, Mission Valley Mall and Fashion Valley Mall. Took me 30 min to find parking and 30 min to get out and another 15 to the drop off. Hope this helps. And if your in San Diego hit me up for some other tips.

Thank you for sharing
Xoch Naungayan Thank you for the information! I have been looking for advice for San Diego!
..remember too that since we’re independent contractors we can write off netflix, cell phone, gas, car insurance bills on our year end taxes😉 keep those receipts & keep track of your mileage!! (especially since we’re putting wear & tear on our vehicles from miles.
Why Netflix? lol
California District Court ruled that Rideshare companies cannot fire or punish contractors for low acceptance rates. the case was against to Uber Uber lost and the ruling made it cover all Rideshare companies.
Yeah, its great news! I always hated to have to maintain a 90% acceptance rate to qualify for a bonus
@@RideShareTips unfortunately that is not a punishment, they can deny you perks based on low acceptance rates. 90% must be a GrubHub thing I'm still on there waiting list so I don't know but 90% of never been to doordash saying that I do know. I use the decline button quite frequently.
Punishments are such things as timeouts or firings.
Haha 2nding the Not having to keep my car clean:) in a medical school /Physical Therapy program. I listen to school lectures while driving to p/u or drop off food:) maximize what I can do:)
I work Doordash and make $130.00 a day for 6 to 7 1/2 hrs a day
What region are you in?
Wow! That’s very good.
That’s not bad at all
Because there weren't too many dashers, that number will soon be no more.
But how much gas you spending and maintenance on your car and car depreciation. Your making probably nothing when you factor in these
you two are such a team! thanks
Wish my area tipped like that
I like these interviews guys
Thanks man great video!
This was very helpful gentlemen! I just started dashing as it launched 2 weeks ago in Purdue town. Then I got set up for GrubHub and I'm able to work when I can to bring in extra cash for me and my family to start tackling our debt. It's a really great gig and no matter how silly the apps can be or the companies of said apps, it's a really smart idea for this culture and generation!
Thanks! Never getting doordash
Appreciate the video guys
Short blocks, sometimes the gps doesn't work well with google maps, it's harder at night cause you can see shit not to mention a lot of small orders they do not reimburse you every time you go through a toll road sometimes you need to call the customer for details that are not listed in the app and they don't answer, no real incentives. It's been slow af not to mention support has been found to be incompetent during issues but thats only happened a few time.
awesome Intel greatly appreciated
You got it Julio!
Great video! 👍🏼
Thanks for the insights. :)
Great vid. Thanks.
Door dash has changed how they pay now! I signed up on the 15th and made $106 in 6 hours.
LifeOfDee
They pay 1 dollar per order where I'm at (L. A)
not true at all. you are looking at extra pay per order
barrytrotterisweird ... who is lying ? Which person
Black don't crack : LifeOfDee is lying
a dollar an hour? yea maybe in 1950
Hey Kon! My Name is Bacari and I also live in Los Angeles. I plan on starting a series about lyft and Uber sometime next week and I just wanted to say that you and Ezra are 2 of the few Lyft/Uber drivers that inspired. I hope we can Collaborate one day!
Finally someone else has the idea. I have two open at once. I get back to back orders non stop
I just uploaded my first home food delivery video on Outback TOGO! I was surprised!!
Great video! Couple of questions though.
I’m signing up for DoorDash and Grubhub. You recommend using both at the same time to maximize orders.
1.If you have to schedule your hours for both companies should I choose the same time frame for each company?
2. What if let’s say I’m using both apps and I get an order for grubhub and I accept. While on that order for grub hub I happen to receive another order from DoorDash. Do I just decline the offer? And won’t that hurt my rating or acceptance percentage if I do?
Thank you
St Louis area Door Dash is by far the best driver app. Although I haven't been able to get into Grub Hub yet.
The longest distance I have done delivering food to a customer was 14 miles. I did choose to do so, just by accident and careless, otherwise I wouldn't want to go above 10 miles.
I think Door Dash has changed how they do things. I just started and the pop up just shows you what payment you’ll get. In the fine print you can find the total food order cost that the customer paid but it’s not the main pop up notification that you see first.
Thank you
I've heard not accepting every over could reflect badly on you (from other dashers) because you get an acceptance rate which can somehow play into furture orders and promotional stuff you get. At least to my understanding. I'm going to be doing it in a major metropolitan area on the east coast that has some fancier areas like LA so there is potential for the system you're using. I'm just confused on whether you can choose where you dash if you take up a shift. Do you have to choose the location ahead of time (like the red areas on the map), or is it a free-for-all? Thanks
yay, my two favorite youtube drivers :D Thanks to Erza i sign up for door dash :P
Also, they need to limit number of users when it comes to stuff like wag too. That would make it a lot better since there are a bunch of walkers and not as many customers.
Great video guys, I don't see the miles in my app could I have a different app or are most people using the beta version there is a option to join the beta. I can see the amount I am getting but it does not show miles to restaurant.
But, if you decline certain orders like with GrubHub because they are lower-paying, then you get docked for not accepting and then your tier changes and then you will get less requests.
I may have missed this but are you more likely to have success in say a business/office area or a residential?
I live in DFW. I could stay in a suburb where there are a lot of restaurants or would it be better to be downtown
You're right. What's the incentive for the driver if they've already been tipped.
Great video!
Where the hell are y’all at to be getting orders that big, biggest I seen here in Dallas is $9
Why can't we can't apply to be driving for GH in Calif?
How do I know if I am going to get a new driver bonus ? I think I signed up using a random phone number I found online saying that I could get up to $750. I don't know how many rides I need to do or how much I will get exactly. Support won't answer.
what's the return time on the email that you receive back from GrubHub when you signed up with GrubHub because I signed up two days ago and I still haven't received an email from them but I received a text message that I'm supposed to meet them today at a location for an orientation that advised me to check the email for the details which again I never received!?!
Can you make a video about high customer rating on Doordash? I feel like I'm doing everything I can but it's not going up fast enough. I'm at 4.64 right now.
BECAUSE DOOR DASH THEMSELVES IS REGULATING YOUR ACCOUNT TO KEEP YOU AT A DISADVANTAGE SO THEY CAN JUSTIFY NOT PAYING YOU OUT HIRER!
I’m 18. I have my drivers license and a car with insurance and everything. I haven’t had my license for a year and I have 2 tickets I haven’t paid not related to driving. Do I still qualify to be a doordasher?
Hi. Is there an option on the apps' GPS to choose satellite or map view? THX
Earnings depend on area, I deliver in Nashville, TN, not actually in heart of downtown as it's crazy doing deliveries there as you spent more times looking for parking than actually delivering. For my rating #1 Uber Eats as they pay the best rates for milage, #2 is GrubHub, but using it time to time, as it always tries to send me 10 miles for orders pickup. So UE and GB are the most honest, they pay your delivery fee + all your tips. #3 DoorDash - defenetly gives more orders that GH, but DD steals your delivery fee if you get tips, it makes me crazy, it's not about the money, it's about my feeling being ripped off. And always tries to send me 15-20 miles away for 8-9 dollars, they are crazy. There is also BiteSquad - greatest liars, they also don't pay delivery fee if you get some tips, just stay away from them.
Uber Eats undoubtedly is the best among all, I calculate good earnings as 1 dollar per mile, no matter it was unpaid pick-up miles or paid delivery miles. I just check odometer at start and the at finish, currently only Uber Eats can cover 1 dollar for every mile in overall including tips, average earning per trip is around 10 dollars, and I think it's not bad at all )))
Good video
Great tips guys. Quick question about Doordash....
Do you think there’s any benefit to being ‘Scheduled’ vs ‘Dash Now’ as far as priority goes? Or is it just whoever is closest to the restaurant?
Jordan Molotsky They say that Scheduled gets priority. I’m newer to DD though so I can’t speak from experience.
@@desertrose0601 If you're in a decently busy area, priority doesn't really enter into things. I only ever Dash Now, and I still get a steady supply of orders coming in. Swipe to confirm delivery as I'm walking away, swipe to accept orders as I'm getting back into my car. ;)
It's whoever's closet. This is typically a good thing, but it can backfire if there aren't many drivers out. I've been on the edge of my selected area before and gotten sucked into the next area over because I was the "closest available driver". Luckily you can "pause" your dash, head back to your desired area, then "resume" your dash. ;)
Door dash is not busy on Friday nights is grub hub much busier typically
Same in Canada one order on Friday.
I had a post mate order i had to order and pay for food wait time is 7 cents per min waited 29 mins during dinner rush total paid was just over 6 bucks. Was not worth it
Hello people! Is required a social security number to do DD or GH? Wich documents I need to do delivery? Tkanks
Yes, You need driving license with more than a year driving expo, car registration and valid insurance
Can you deliver doordash in different states like postmates?
I signed up for Door Dash said they b in my area little rock sept 19th. Im looking forward to start. Im with instacart now nd just signed up wit uber nd ubereats gern my car inspected but if door dash offers great exoerienc nd bettr income i will do this full time plus plus😊 everybody happy when they have a choice what they eat.thanks for video
callie1on1 i just Started about a month ago with instacart, hate it and doordash which is ok just not that busy in my area. Signed up for uber eats today and got approved tonight.
Amazon flex restaurant delivery pay highest..end of story
I thought Amazon flex was only package delivery..?
You guys get the GrubHub tip, right? Also, if you're pressing a button to get your food, tip 20%. Who is tipping less? Blech. I tip based on my experience with an established restaurant. However, you guys have good points. I'll need to get some cash. You know what *sux* ? Being unable to go get food, reliant upon other ppl to bring you good food.
Hey con do u always deliver right to there door? If it's a large hotel or apartment I try to get them to meet me in the lobby or close by. But I always get flack from especially the females. What do u think con.
Most times, itll say in the app if they want it brought to the door or not. In the cases where its an apartment building and I cant find parking. I just call them and say, "hey this is your food delivery. I cant find parking, would you mind meeting me outside?" No one has ever said no to that.
Just go up, not a big deal (get out of the car, stretch your legs). By the time you get back down to your car, you should have another order coming in. ;)
ok the part where yall discuss not accepting orders. i some times find if i dont take the low payout orders. doordash seems to not send me many orders after that. so when i do accept them i can get many orders sometimes multiple and one time.
They give orders to people who want them. When you decline often you show that you don't want them. Hunting elephants is great, but don't ignore the rabbits. ;)
Any app is better than uber eats.
Your Personal Driver uber eats feels like such a scam and they dont care
Uber, in general, is a giant scam. It is a giant Ponzi scheme and will never reach profitability and may end in Travis in jail. But, at least on Uber Eats you don't have to go to the door. However, you also don't have a tip option.
I've learned this the hard way
Uber Eats does have a tip option, and the customer has up to 30 days to add the tip to your account... In Texas, drivers are required to go to the door, although some customers are considerate enough to meet you at curb.
I’ve never had an issue with the Uber app. They don’t pay as well, but the app is good. It never crashes, whereas the Door Dash app crashes several times a day. 😂
7:00 i thought he fist bumps his costumers for a second
The biggest problem I would have with GH, DD, UE would be turning the car on and off
Tim C Why?
If I’m parking in front of a house I just leave it on. It only takes 30 seconds to drop it off.
Dude you’re the only person that has said this out of all the videos I’ve seen and I wonder why more people don’t mention it. It’s also something that bothers me
Yeah, wear and tear on the car reduces how much you actually make in the long term.
I would agree with you Jack. do you do any food delivery jobs?
Signed up for Grub hub in phoenix. About a month ago still no eord
Hello can you get deactivated for low ontime rating?
What's your thoughts on Amazon flex as well?
I haven't tried it, but I hear good things about it. Sounds like a fairly easy job. You don't have to deal with people and restaurants.
Delivery services need the option to rate the merchant.
One time I came to this restaurant to pick up the order to deliver to a customer, but when I got there, the waitress told me that I was the 3rd person to pick up the same order for the same customer, hunm ??? Why and how did it happen like that I don't understand. But the end , I still have to deliver the food to the customer.
I just started 2 weeks ago and haven't get more than $11 order seems to me something is not right can you give me an idea?
Following
They don't let you take multiple orders for along the route
in my market, I dont even see the tips. they dont cover the minimum delivery amount usually
In LA people may tip $15-$20 for a delivery but not in the burbs of Philadelphia.
Theres cheap people all over the world haha. I'm from Philadelphia!
Bruce springteen hometown he will tip you $ 100
Is there a service that you do for non-food deliveries like clothes and shoes?
No sir, I do not
Thanks - just starting with DD and this video cleared up a lot for me about order acceptance. One question - Is there much difference in pay between DD and Grub Hub?
Janet Thompson In Phoenix GH just delivers to the entire area,DD breaks it up and you pick the area you want, that’s why I like DD better
This is my second day and today I made 134 and it was only 7 hrs...
Grubhub is awesome!!
Guys, I am so lost. Ive been doing Doordash for 2 weeks 50 hours total and made ove $500 bucks in 59 deliveries. I never ever got anywhere close to a $79 delivery!!! The range is between $5 to $14 tops!!!
When they say $79 they mean order total $
Grover Williams I’ve orders as high as $200, my best payout was for one delivery was $50
$79 was the price the customer paid for the food
I see this was 3yra ago. Now we call it DoorTraah in LA ! $3.0£ orders ans crap lol
How do you prevent overbooking when it comes to multiple apps
Thabie Melvin you just have to quickly log out of the other apps once you accept a trip. Sometimes, two requests might come in at the same time. Pick the one that best suits you and let the other request time out, then log out
use 2 diff phonez
If you don’t deliver a small order and he doesn’t deliver and them and so on. Who’s going to deliver.. this is a year old video, are you guys still driving..
So 95$ for 6.5 hours of work before tax, gas, insurance and maintenance? Thats about 10$/h...
What are your thoughts on Shyp and Instacart?
I don't have any experience with either of those
This is the collaboration the world was waiting for
What's the benefit of getting a higher rating? Do you get paid more?
Penelope416 No but if you get consistently low ratings you can be deactivated from the app.
You can increase your chances of getting catering orders and have more room to play with your acceptance or other ratings (like these guys).
$47.00 order guys! I took it and got screwed. A big fat ZERO as the tip!!! Is this Normal to see with Doordash???
How do you know you did not get a tip you don't see the tip amount for a individual order. At least I don't see it.
OaksTrails Hirst
Here is a tip for you next time suck it up lol 😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😊😄😉
Im joking hahaha..
Door dash took it
SideHustle 247 You can see the tip if you only have one delivery
Door Dash customers usually do tip but they’re not required to.
Only reason I want to wear DD gear is to be easily identifiable.
Door dash still your tips
Tips are included in the "guaranteed payment" shown on every order.
Hey so i have postmates rn and thinking about doing grubhub .. i was just wondering if i can have 2 apps open at the same time?
Absolutely, you can. I do it all the time. Just be sure to log out of the other app after you accept a request so that you dont double book yourself.
The most I’ve ever driven is 6 miles.
Have u tryout amazon flex yet?
Nope. Have you? If so, what are your thoughts?
@@RideShareTips I have not because it's not in my area but herd it's pretty good. Have u ever tried driving a taxi cab before? Just curious I've never done it but am considering it.
I don't think the customer cares what your wearing as long as you look clean and look like you showered w/in the past day.
What's your thoughts about Deliv app?
lol just lol
You would think that's 100% true, about no one being unhappy when you bring them food...but I'm an UE driver and I can barely eek out a quick "thankya" from most of these 0-personality, no-smiles mouth-breathers. Let alone tips. But, I just smile, address them by name and hand them the food and I SAY thank you--which is odd considering I'M bringing THEM the food, not the other way around.
You say "Thank you" because they, as a group, are the only way you get paid.
Robin beals that's why i quit uber eat
Then Quit!
I have a habit of saying "thank you" after I hand them their food as well. It's a polite thing to do.
charge the restaurant 20%.. restaurants put prices 25%more .who pay more?? figure it out AMERICA
Does anyone wear the shirts or hats? Cause it could be an inconvenience if your in a hurry and need to change shirts
Gary White You dont have to. I never did in the past and never had any issues
I typically wear a bright read DoorDash baseball hat and their dark gray DoorDash zip-up hoodie as my unofficial "uniform". The hat helps a lot at new restaurants; if I look lost a staffer will call out "hey DoorDash, over here", lol. It also clearly identifies me to the customer, along with the red DoorDash bag. No one wants some plain-clothed rando with a plastic bag wandering up to their door. ;)
In your opinion is this a safe gig for a female?
Yup! Way safer than Uber
Start working in parts of town you're familiar and comfortable with, working only daylight hours if you prefer. Once you get into the swing of things (won't take long) you can start to slowly expand your comfort zone. Always take your official delivery bag with you (esp. the bright red DD one) and make yourself visible (don't hide in the crowd); sort of "I'm a DoorDasher, don't mess with me." ;)
Tip your servers please!
Who else iwas waiting for him to crank out the Stu or Peter Griffin voice ?
On time:55 customer rating:4.91 don’t make sense.
Anyone have any good ideas / strategy for being able to always get signed on for a shift? (for Doordash) The scheduling portion of the app gives me like 30 minutes to 1&1/2 hour shifts at the most in my area. I used to be able to call "customer support" and they would clock me in, but starting last week they put the kibosh on that! Damn. I was working 10-12 hours a day!, but now....bupkis.
Anyone have any slick ideas on this?
ArDubya if you wait until midnight, and refresh the app, the newest schedule come out for the next day available and all the good shifts. Right now they have a summer scheduling so if your like me and don't qualify for that most of the time, waiting till midnight allows you to see the new day and the new shifts. Try it!
Well I gotta tell ya, that's the best information I've had. The gal at the Woodland Hills office told me to check at 6:00am, I was wondering why the available times available were always 1:00am to 1:30am. She was full of beans.
How can I be picky with what orders I accept and still keep my acceptance rate up? * I just started and have only done one dash so far.
You cant have both unfortanatley. . Its either you choose to have a perfect acceptance rate, or you choose to be picky with your orders.
If you choose to be picky with your orders, you're going to want to keep your other ratings up, esp. customer rating. This guy can get away with it because of that 4.8 customer rating.
The guy in red is so handsome oh my😍
Sarah Ahmed
And you?
I hope you don't have a man at the moment of that comment.
Cause that would really suck for him. Anyway just my 2 cents.. 😔
