Doordash | Doordash Tips | Doordash Driver | Door Dash | Bentley Koup
Biggest thing that helped me is focusing on where the delivery is. A $6 delivery to a House or Apartment Home where I can pull right up is infinitely better than a $9 delivery to an apartment building with a crazy digital gate, 9 floors, and a maze-like design - not to mention my ‘favorite’ people… “I don’t know the gate code, just follow somebody in.”
Or people with signs all over the gate about how they'll chute you if you go in, who text you confused about why you won't open the gate
Or they ghost u when u get there…..trying to get them to respond to a request for the gate code…….grrrrrrr!
Lol 😂
@@paulaa3559 I just leave it at the gate/door take my picture and roll. no instructions it says leave it at the door. Thats the door I had access to.
This. If I'm gonna have to search for your apartment or building or office. It better pay. Or I'm not touching it
Here are some dashing tips I've learned:
1. If you are in an area where the GPS or cellular reception is bad at the drop off location. Deliver the order and take a picture. When you leave and get back into reception the app will ask you what happened and you can mark the order as delivered and upload the photo. This happens to me around airports with AT&T service. Also, avoid picking up from dead zones if you can.
2. Do not sit at hotspots. Drive around them and you will get orders faster. The algorithm knows a driver in motion will get there faster than one parked.
3. If you are too far from your preferred area after a drop off, put your phone in airplane mode so the app will think you are out of reception. Drive back to your preferred zone and then take your phone out of airplane mode to resume dashing. This helps me a lot and I don't have to do this as often.(This will help new dashers until the app learns your preferences.)
4. Taking a low pay low mileage dash is better than taking a low pay high mileage dash. Shoot for $1 a mile as your baseline. If all dashers are doing this, then DD will have no choice but to offer more pay for delivery. For example, $4.00 for a 4 mile drop versus $6.50 for a 8 mile drop, I would take the $4.00 and be back on to the next drop faster.
5. Never use the app for directions. Always use Google maps, it works better. Also, if you have Android Auto, it will interface with your vehicle. I was given wrong directions 3 times by the Dasher app before I finally did this.
6. Always read the delivery instructions BEFORE leaving the pickup location. They may put extra info in the directions about utensils that the restaurant may have forgotten or that may not normally come with the food they ordered.
7. If they say they do not know the gate code and to follow someone in, DON'T leave the pickup location until you texted them to meet you outside of the gated area. If they decline to meet you outside, they will know where you will be. Knowing the gate code when pulling up makes your drop time faster. Your time is money and they should respect that. I've had customers text me back the gate code "miraculously" while driving to their location.
8. Take breaks between peak hours if you can afford to. This is a job, balance your life around it.
9. Drive the speed limit. The system will know how long it takes to drive and give you time. Your life is not worth the $$$.
10. Save gas by driving with slower accelerations from stops. Heavy foot equals more gas spent and more engine wear. I am on time or early for all of my deliveries.
The app punishes people who do the $1 per mile thing
@mikejones9906 nah. Top dasher DOES mean something. It doesn't mean you WONT get bad orders. Lmao you'd get no orders if there weren't good orders by your logic. Obviously they have to mix it up. You being top dasher means you're priority to good orders. Doesn't mean you will ONLY get good orders lol
Thank you 🙏🏽
I agree with everything you said..great information...
Thank you for the information.
I used to despise the smaller orders, now I realize that those are easy orders that are very few miles, usually under 5 miles, keeps me in the zone I want to stay in. Also, those orders are constant because ppl tend to reject those orders.
In my area I’ll work 6-8 hours taking back to back 6$-8$ orders and before I know it it’s up too 100$ lol it’s great
what do you consider small orders?
One thing though I've learned when you get those larger paying orders that you end up traveling outside your zone ...if it's a hot zone you can pause and either go back or dash along the way back
Yes but only if they are close not ..5$ for 10 miles
@@daniellesworld4491 100 dollars for 6-8 hours is low
The only time I’m ever not on time is when the restaurant fails to prepare the food in a timely manner. If DD really gave a damn about customer experience, they need to monitor some of these restaurants that are constantly calling drivers before they even start cooking.
The time it takes for a restaurant to complete an order is dependent on many variables. I work at a popular dine-in restaurant where the dine-in wait can reach hours. The food for dine-in and to-go come from the same place, so a busy dine-in area can increase the time it takes for to-go orders to be completed (this is especially true on holidays). I know Dashers want to be in and out when picking up orders, but sometimes that's just not possible. Sometimes Dashers will show up 5 minutes after the order was placed (even though we didn't click the "order ready" button) and give us attitude when they find out the order is still being made.
Got 3 contract violations because of this and only way to clear em is doing 100 more deliveries. All were from the same hospital that I had to go out of state to deliver to🤦♂️
What kills me is when they can stand there and hand out orders that were just placed but because your customer isn't standing in front of them it's not important
Yeah gdluck with that😂
You begin to learn which restaurants don't start the order until the driver arrives. Make a mental note and decline those. They will have a hard time getting drivers, especially on a Friday or Saturday night. Why would I wait an hour again? I won't gamble my time.
Im killing it in NYC. Making 1200-1300 a week now!
Dam how many hours you do? How many days?
Hey buddy, any suggestions? Uber just blocked my acc for no reason so switched to doordash, but I barely get any orders, and the shift is like fcckkn half or max 1-2 hours, how to get a full day shift? And barely get any orders! Any suggestions? Please help me out!
Go to a hot spot where there’s a LOT of restaurants and build your acceptance rate up to 50 to 70% and you’ll see a big BIG difference in your money in a few days!! GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS YOU!!😁🙏
I always try to take the very first offer that comes in, regardless of how bad it is, I call them "Charity runs" . I would say 99.9% of the time, the offers after the "Charity runs" are in my ball park and the money starts flowing. Good video, new subscriber here!
Charity Runs any% walkthrough (glitches used)
jk. "Charity runs" sounds funny af, I love it
True. Thats why door dash rewards the 70% and plus guys
I think the first run is trying to place you where most orders with the least drivers are in the next 15
While you’re running the charity order, the really good orders are coming in and given to other low rated dashers because no other high rank dashers are available.
I notice that too
25,000 career delivery guy here. It must be nice to work in an area where you can get 8 and 1/2 dollars three times every hour! He is 100% right though about breaking down every order and being as efficient as possible. Also, we need to train the customers that throwing down two or three dollars for a tip nowadays is just not going to get your food delivered in a timely fashion. Once they respect us as an industry, we will all succeed.
Customers will never learn. They don't know or care that we: 1. Don't get paid hourly. 2. Can only accept what we feel is worth it. 3. Have to waste gas to drive to the store in addition to driving to the customer's house. 4. Have to wait for the order. 5. We are expected to automatically know exactly where their apartment is. 6. Cannot read minds ("Why didn't you knock?" "It didn't say to knock." "One star!")
@@gearsofwar3xXx
I like to think of it as a process. True some people just don't care at all about others but I think most do and they just don't understand. We just can't keep accepting garbage orders though because we are desperate.
@@gearsofwar3xXx perfect comment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@justaguy105 I’m just curious, how do train your costumers to pay better tip? Because I can’t a way doing that
@@cristiansilva3392
This is something that we need to do as a collective. It cannot be done individually. If we continue to turn down the orders that are garbage and make these people wait and wait and wait, they will eventually get the idea that we deserve to be tipped just as waiters and waitresses do.
Another thing that gives me motivation is that I remind myself that this job is giving me the freedom that I want. I can work when I want, have the days off I want, go on vacation when I want, wear what I want. So even on those days I'm not making as much as I would like it's definitely worth it for the freedom! ( Coming from someone who worked retail way too long )
Exactly! and no bullsh*t from no one.
@@JR-90 Yes, and I mean, our boss is an app. 😄
Facts. I lost my good mill job last year. And just quit my paper mill job couple months ago to do this full time. Zero regrets.
I felt this
I love the convinence and freedom too
It's crazy how quick the algorithm kicks in. Yesterday was my second day ever, and I drive a less fuel efficient car. The app kept trying to send me way across the city, but I kept turning down every long drive, even though it left my first 30 minutes fruitless. After that however, I didn't get a single order over 2 miles all day.
Followed your strategy about starting the day just under my minimum distance was 4.5 miles pay was 6.75 order count was 6 large party boxes of pizza naturally I would 7.50$ or better cause that’s my minimum for that many miles but I took it and when I finished the order the customer had tipped me 35$!!! 🎉so your strategy definitely works brother 🔥
yeah bigger orders sometimes have good tips because people tip based on how much food they are ordering (sometimes) or a percentage
taking a couple crappy orders to get the orders flowing at the start is always a good way to go.
Pretty solid tips given in this video. I do a similar thing as you mentioned if I'm being too picky, I just relax and take a lower paying offer that will only take me 8-10 minutes tops. Many times after I throw DD a bone, on the way to the restaurant they'll add a stack offer that's even higher than the original.
For that reason I've changed my strategy somewhat. I used to hunt only bangers, now it's all about pick up and drop off locations, as well as time. People think too much about $ to miles, I'm thinking $ to minutes.
Okay but, doesn't 1 mile = 1 minute? 🤔
I do $ / minute minimums. Getting the job done faster helps when a particular job goes a bit over so it averages out. Time is the most important factor imo.
@@Kris-fl7fq Maybe if you're comparing highway speed without traffic, sure. In my zone not all miles are created equal anyways. A 3 mile drive could take 15 minutes during peak hours, another location 8 miles could take 9 minutes.
@@aaronhughson285 I agree. I think the same way about things averaging out over an entire week, month, etc. Just need as many swings at it as possible, we can replace our cars but we can't replace our time!
@@Kris-fl7fq no! Routes can take longer depending on amount of traffic, speed zones, highways etc. I can get 12 miles in 9 minutes in one area and getting 6 miles can take 15 minutes in another area.
Bentley, you have THE best channel on UA-cam for gig drivers. I know you focus on Door Dash but your tips can most definitely be applied to other apps. THANK YOU!
My acceptance rating is only 8-9% but I had a 58 dollar order of 4 stops in close proximity, then a 25 dollar order for 2 stops right after.
I feel like DD should never allow a tip option lower than $5 anyway....if you have the money to buy all that food...pay up, gas ain't cheap.
Base pay should be higher instead.
The fact ppl can tip 0 dollars is Ludacris
@@tastefullys fuck base pay (at least in California) base pay is a scam, prop 22 guarantees you get paid a certain amount per time and mile, so even if my base pay was 5 dollars an order instead of 3 i wouldn't earn a dime more because it would just cut into my prop 22 guarantee and my bonus would be smaller at the end of the week :/
Or get a job where your company pays you and not regular customers
Base pay should be higher and they also shouldn't allow no tipping. It should be like at a restaurant where you see the recommended tip options at the bottom of the receipt like 15%, 18%, or 20%. They should also show you the dd pay and tip amount in the offer not the total combined. More transparentcy please. They tax us like we're independent or self employed but pay us and penalize us like we work for them. Get rid of the penalties too unless we actually did something wrong.
Thank you so so much!! Your theory makes sense. I have taken those low ball orders telling myself “okay, just this time” and then a bunch of good ones came in afterward. This has happened several times. You ROCK!!
When you said low ball orders like $2.50-$4 for 3-5 miles right not $2.50-$4 for 10-15 miles 😅
Bentley is a genius when it comes to Dashing. I've been able to quit a career I hated and follow my dream to become a photographer. I wouldn't have been able to do it without the great insight from this channel...thank you, Bentley!!! Almost 5k deliveries and a 4.89 rating. My acceptance rate hovers between 15-20%. Never take anything under a $1 a mile!!!!!!!!
A lot the time my app won't show me the amount of the order until after I complete it. And the other half it does. I've been complaining about it for a long to time.
I have that same problem sometimes I feel like the app need to be a lot faster. I think it lags a bit
I take nothing under $2 per mile
Question. When you say reduce by 10%, what about the distance. What I’m experiencing is when I first sign in to dash, I’m hit with a barrage of long distance, low paying offers, less than $1 per mile what’s your advice on these to boost my ranking. I don’t want to go more than 6 miles, sometimes less if it takes me to a neighborhood I’m not comfortable or familiar with. Love your videos ❤️❤️
As soon as I started declining orders that are too small and too far, I stopped getting good orders and bigger orders. I get tiny orders now. And it's my first Sunday dashing and it's horrible. Not busy and I'm not getting orders and especially not good orders anymore.
Liked and subscribed! I'm a new dasher and I really appreciate what you've said. I have noticed in just the few days I've worked that they are constantly testing you with long trips with low pay, etc. Thanks for doing this blog. Dan
I’m about to start door dashing and this video you made breathed life and muscle into a few idea’s I’ve considered using from my experience driving taxicabs decades ago. Thank you for the jewel
Wow, this was some gold. It makes sense. In recent months I’ve wondered why I’ve gotten less orders and with lower pay. I can now see that I’ve been too picky with offers and then I kinda take my time delivering them which are likely the two biggest factors influencing the quality and quantity of orders I’ve been receiving. Thank you for this info Bentley, no one comes close to your quality of DD content.
Lol why would you take your time delivering someones food?
multi apping...or just stupid.
@@TheFreshPeddler chill. It ain’t that serious.
@@ItsmeBish584 if you work in California prop 22 guarantees you get paid a minimum hourly rate while active on an order. So if I take my time I get paid 1-3 dollars more per order, but then i get less tips (unless it's slow in which case milking the rides and taking your time is better than sitting around and making 0/hour)
@@ShongoStick. Same thing happened in Germany when they made tips be automatically added to the total by law. Quality of service immediately went straight down the toilet.
Thank you affirming what I've come to learn over the last 6 months, it's going poorly but I'm excited for football season to rev things back up
I do construction during the day, so I really needed a job that was physically not as challenging. Door Dash, so far, so good. It's not for everyone though. It's works for me. I love your videos. This is my first video of yours I've watched. My wife & I both subscribed & love your videos.
I quit framing that I was doing for 8 years to deliver full time. way better
@@thedude3189 how much do you make after gas and taxes
Yea ppl don't understand working hard labor catches up with you. After serving 8 years my body just can't handle it and I been surrounded by shitty support so ppl yelling at me to find a job but I can't handle physical work like that anymore. Doordash has helped me so much this past year. It works for me and sometimes the wife and kids ride along😎
Facts long time dasher here
Over 3 years
The advice you gave on resetting the algorithm is completely correct
I can hardly believe how many people don't tip. I live in Nevada that should be a higher tip area but no. When I reject the order I end up sitting there for ten to twenty minutes just to get another two dollar order. It's frustrating
Yep. It is.
It's not the area it's the person
Why would you think that about Nevada? Nevada, Las Vegas area in particular, is where people go to downsize. Especially those from neighboring CA.
There's a lot of cheap bastards out there, scum. But many times it's the way DD has things laid out when placing an order. Many people assume the fees are going to us somehow since they are so high a tip is not needed. They aren't aware we only get 2.50 or whatever and nothing more.
@@Cambaudio well they need to somehow be aware of it. I don't know what the fees are that DD charges them
5 year full timer here and this is the best video ive seen for new or even vet drivers. I already do a majority of what you spoke about but some of it is new and things I will try. Way to go
How much do you average yearly?
I do DoorDash now but I used to apply these same principals to UE and you talkin all facts. Great info for the folks.
your direct message and communication skills are REALLY good. You present your statement and strategy very well.
Great video. I was watching it because I wanted to see what "new" things people were posing. You did a really great job at describing the things that help get better orders. I noticed when I accidently took a low paying order, the next few were decent, sometimes extremely large payouts. I experimented and agree with your findings. I appreciate what you are sharing with the community. All the best!
@iatealready Haters are going to hate. Lol.
This is all actually really good advice. I make on average between 1100 and 1600 a week. Obviously 1600 being a really good week. But he is right about everything. Sometimes you need to take smaller orders to make sure you can move forward. And for the system to feed you a large order
How many hours per day do you drive?
Do y’all live in a big city or something? In my area, the common easy deliveries are often around $2-3 and the $8-10 ones will have an ton of items and a 7 mile trip. I can find good deliveries, but I’d have to sit in my car for 15-20 minutes, and I just can’t justify that. Peak hours are typically like 3-5AM in the country outside of my city, and the distances are absurd. My first day I cleared about $25/hr and since then I’m lucky if I see $12/hr. Ratings are all good too.
@@AverageIntelligenceProductions i work a 12 hour shift in a area where every home is a million plus and to rent a studio is around 2k and i barely make 150 -200
@@shane5385 Same here. It's funny how the people who live in those affluent homes, tend to be incredibly cheap. Like a 5-10 tip on an order, is going to break their bank. But the customers want you to drive at lightning speed, to deliver their food. I don't think so. Lol 😂.
I noticed in the hood people are cheap as hell and don’t tip. So I go just 5 miles out the hood and 80% of orders I got are now with tips. I go from 2-3 dollar orders which I never take to 7 minimum to go 1.2 miles crazy. So I just don’t dash in the hood straight suburbs and affluent areas for me. It might not work for everyone but it does for me. And my market is always super busy orders are back to back.
I am so glad I found this page. I have watched three of ur videos so far and am learning a lot
Dude! You Rock! You’re helping me so much getting started with dashing. I love your Sense of humor as well. Keep bringing content if possible. Thank you. 🙏🏼
My boy THIS is real advice. Fact based supported by data with good theoretical influence. I am Completely impressed with this content, every Dasher who wants to make money needs to watch this. Stop complaining and start being analytical and listen to my man here cuz he knows what’s up !
Bentley, I cannot appreciate you enough man. From what I've learned over time to also listening to your tips in combination I have increased my weekly payout to the figures you speak of and your strategies have been a big help, thank you for everything you do :)
I would of already quit without his advice
That's awesome
What areas/state do you dash in?
Downriver area outside Detroit Michigan
@@firelordkushroll who Bentley? What company?
Literally debunked everything I originally thought I can’t help but be open minded because what you are saying completely make sense and I have even notice something’s myself. This was pure gold. Great video !
I am not sure why I have not seen this until today, but it is spot-on! Everything you mention seems to be true from my experience! I typically have opted taking a couple of dashes almost every dash that are a little lower, or the mile-to-$$ ratio is not what I love. But then it seems like I get better offers after! And my AR is up at 86 now. Thanks Bentley! 🎉
I came over here thinking I was going to hear all the same things every other UA-cam puts out there. I put all my numbers on a spreadsheet to make sure I am getting what payed properly and this guy is legit. Everything he said checks out. Really good advice here.
I consistently hit 2k a week using a bot by gigshield. Technology is amazing. Idc if it's cheating, I'm going to keep stacking up lol. Did the same withInstacart lol
What does the bot do
@jeremymiller1650 who gives a fuck respect the hustle grandpa
Great video! I just started being a Dasher last week - primarily as a part timer for now. My goal is to try to earn $100 / day on the average. The closest I've done is $85 in 5 hrs. I've noticed in my market that there are a lot of people that won't tip which means that the payout is between $3.25 & $4.25. So I said to myself - no more! The lowest I'll take is $6.50 for a single order and $12 for stacked orders. I know that if I did the same work during peak time I would hit the $100 mark. Thanks for your help and keep up the great work!
But if you don't take the order don't it go against your acceptance rate
@@youngchirp12 Yes it does, but you don't get penalized for that. The numbers to look out for are the Average Custer Rating, Completion Rate & On Time or Early. They can't fire you for not accepting orders.
This was the first video I've watched about a month after he made it. It was before I even started DDing. I'm not a mathematician or mathemagician but the algorithm is there and his advice WORKS! This genius has broken it down in plain English (and a little Spanish apparently) so (almost) anyone can follow... The first 2 weeks of me doing this, I went from accepting every single order and being frustrated at the length of time it took me to drive and make hardly any of what I was expecting or wanting in money, and almost gave up until I remembered this video. This advice worked so well that I'm now making not only what I need to make this work for me but more... I'm very impressed. Thank you!
You da bomb! I’m just about to start and you’re pumping me up! I’m excited!🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thank you! Always looking for ways to maximize on my time. Yesterday, I worked a lunch rush during an extended lunch break from my day job. This is not my norm. I was stunned to see how well I did after 2 hours.
Also, worked a Monday night- again, not my usual and it was quite successful! Changing it up. Thank you for doing what you do-
I find it extremely helpful!
This explanation is thorough and basically read directly from information available from various sources. The algorithm definitely can be choosy when its slow or there are a ton of drivers working (which happens frequently) but when it's very busy the time urgency dictates it switches to a basic logistical efficiency model. The program doesn't have the luxury at that point to pick and choose. Its next man up at that level. So if your market is flooded with drivers, definitely the higher acceptance rate can influence your offer selection. Is it worth raising it up? For every driver who says yes, there are 5 who say no. Thats not scientific data. Thats what I read on social media. Personally I don't think I'd let an algorithm that changes 1000 times a second dictate my decisions. I stick to my plan.
Couldn't agree more and very well written. Also, kudos to Bentley for a spot on and timely explanation of the algorithm
I would say think out of the box, be extra nice and hurry ya rear up to the orders. What's out the box? Working hours most others Dashers are not. Wearing cool clothings and or holiday themed uniforms, things others are not doing that leaves impressions for high ratings. Have friends and family order in your area and test whether you can get their order to increase your rating as it's a 100% good order.
Exactly man, that way of thinking is exactly what DD wants - if 10% of the 1000s of people who watch this think “I need to take some lower orders and be less picky so I get better orders” then that’s more lower paying orders that DD gets delivered.
There is SO MUCH that I need to and am learning as a FT dasher and most of it is from the lips and wise minds of ppl like yourself. Coming from a mindset of "just show up to work and leave on time" to this gig is a SERIOUS change in thinking and acting. Thank you for every pearl of wisdom you drop. Now if I could just get some useful advice on tax in Australia I'll remove the one think that haunts me daily! Thank you good sir for your time, wisdom and effort.
I'm just starting Doordash today. Your video's are very informative and helpful. Thanks much for sharing your knowledge! 🙂
Time is a bigger enemy than payout. Great video Bentley.
Stopped dashing last April and ended up starting again at the end of December. I had a 39% acceptance rate and took every order they gave me to get it back up to 100%. I started to make 50 an hour after getting diamond orders. Until I started to decline too many low paying orders, they really do seem to punish you for it. Went down to 20 an hour. after taking a few more bad orders in a row, I'm back up to 30 an hour. Worked 5 hours today on and off, thinking it was going terrible and made 150 taking orders I wouldn't consider on a normal day.
Yes, I was told take nothing under $1 for every mile. It sure seems I got punished severely for not taking so many low pay high mile orders they offered .. and they offer a LOT of them .. ugh!
I got a lot of those low pay orders $4 for 15 miles!!! Crazy!!! I was able to dash whenever when my ranking was high now I need to schedule and dashing openings in my area is usually never 😢
I just started dashing between my work shifts it’s been 2 days I’ve done 28 orders the first day I made about. $14/hr I decided I will accept all orders as I don’t need the money for bills my main job nets me 6 figures anyways I dashed in a different area on day 2 and made about $30/hr I still accept everything but now I don’t see any orders below $6 and my highest is $21 took about 30 min to complete. I’m gonna keep accepting everything I’m a truck driver by day so I’m used to delivering stuff already.
Again-very good points. Making a U turn & waiting in traffic 10 minutes to catch that fast food order is nuts. Going to try this new system!
This is the most informative door dash video Ive seen, thank you so much for the info!
BBBRRROOOOOO this is fucking unbelievable. I don’t know HOW you are allowed to funnel this information but it’s mind-blowing and so helpful at the same time I legit wanna cry at the service you provide. Wish you had a Patreon or something
As a new Dasher, this was a great video loaded with a lot of information. Thank you.
I got lucky being able to DoorDash in such a great area that I live in. College town, vacation town, lots of awesome restaurants within a small square area. If I put in 12 hour days, 7 days a week, I could bring home $2,100/week no problem. It’s hard leaving that money out there but burnout is something I’m desperately trying to avoid
What city!??
12 hours 7 days a week but do 32 days on 10 days off. You end up with a work hard play hard lifestyle that ends up great for those of us who deal with burnout easily. You get a few weeks to put in your all and a beautiful little relaxation time. Sure beats the standard 2 days off a week you can barely do anything with. You basically alternate between hard work and vacations.
21 days on 10 days off pardon me
Dashing in South L.A….I feel you Fam, this shit get addicting. In fact it is Sunday the 26th and there is +2 bucks in my immediate area(You think I’m not going???) I also Multiapp using Uber Eats. Trying to have a decent 4 hrs tonight.
@@money4385 how do you toggle between the 2 apps? I try to do that with DD and grub hub? I know it works, I tried it, but it also gets me in a fine fix with one of them😱
Getting so frustrated. Ever since I canceled an order one day for IHOP taking entirely too long...I have been receiving crappy orders and refusing them. $6.50 for 11.4 miles for example. I hope the Bentley explains this. 🙏🏾
Yep DD will get pissed at you indefinitely if you un-assign certain orders. I wish someone would address this also. I knew I wasnt crazy 🤔
You have to just let the thirty seconds pass , never decline an order ! Nine times outa ten it will send you another one
@@hazelztarot9762 thank you 🌻
I decline LOT of orders everyday and still get better orders.
I Hop is the WORST.
I just started yesterday as a side gig. Learned a lot, but this would have been helpful to know beforehand. Thanks for sharing. Subscribing! Hope to see more great content like this.
I like this guy. DD and Driver Mike are my go to for youtube videos for a new Dasher like myself. Ty for the content
I figured a lot of this stuff out a while ago.. I always dash until about 3 then I pick my son up at school.. I started to notice that they would send me orders heading towards my son's school at 2:45ish...And he is absolutely right about taking a lower order to get better orders.. that always works
Yes it really does👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Facts ... when I was mainly GH, they always did it and I live a bit away so it was awesome. The other night, DD took me home via 2 separate orders which was freaking awesome. I legit drove maybe 1 mile total out of my way for them (I live easily 7 miles out). Loved it.
Uber does this to me it starts sending me rides towards home when it starts getting late knowing I’m ready to head back lol
All good advice . I live in a small city with a lot of rural area, so sometimes there is many miles of driving for no reimbursement for the extra drive time or long miles, this is my biggest complaint.
I also live in a small city and I do not dash here. I travel to the more productive area and dash which is 15 and 30 minutes away depending on what is necessary to reach goal
He said in a previous Video try and different area outside your comfort zone give it a try
I’ve decided that you are the best Door Dash channel. Thank you and you’re welcome 😂👍
For being a video about DoorDash you made it hella funny 👍🏼 thank you quality stuff
I always had a feeling the algorithm punished me when I've been having a low performance day or did something wrong
You aren't off point with that! It's a slave master! That gigantic computer with billions of calculations per second is a non feeling, non emotional, heartless monster meant to keep Doordashers in check! It's real! You must outsmart it!
All apps I have driven do. The local one I drive for is the worst because it still has real people steering the orders. The customers tip well but once your put on timeout, it's really up to the people on the other end. You can sometimes run the app all day and don't get anything.
I’m glad these videos exist. It’s like having a union rep for being on the road cause Lord knows it’s hard trying to hustle out here.
🤯 I’m new as new can be, having dashed 2 days and done 20 overall deliveries. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel via an email from doordash. Thank you!
Yesterday was my first day doordashing, i also quite my restaurant job!!!(15 year culinary veteran) lol i love dashing!
You know what's nuts, I dropped my minimum today from 7 to 6 before I saw this video and I made more in a few hours than I have been making in a whole day.
It's definitely true, I slightly lowered my minimum and I have been doing better than I was before, and raised my acceptance rate.
Thanks for your tips going full time again love this work and want to learn how I can do even better
I knew it!! It does stop after u make so much. I ain’t making much at all bc of it OMG. Thank u so much for the tips. Love ya!!
Luv your informative and money making tips with Doordash!💰💰💰
Goated video! Hopefully this still applies here in 2023! I am a new doordasher and it all seems to make sense so far! I'll be keeping these tips in mind! It was similar while on ubereats so i agree 😊
Hello. I like your videos. Interesting tips.
I suggest you to also talk about the maps that Doordash allows you to use and how the Doordash map makes you take a longer route.
This my second time watching your video,have learned some new strategics.
Thank you .
Great video bro thanks for everything you did to make this. 🙏
My time rating is at 95% which I find odd because I am super efficient. My only hold ups are waiting on some orders that go past the stated pick up times, which is the restaurants fault. I always put the reasons why I'm waiting too. I zoom zoom the orders to the customers as fast as I legally can. I feel like my percentage should be higher.
Interesting.. Thanks for the insight i appreciate the knowledge you and other experienced drivers share.. I been doing door dash since its been a thing here in new Mexico 4 years ago so you can call me a vet. Lol but i barely reached first priority for high paying orders ... Ive always made like around the same amount everyday but recently ive been making it much quicker and with a lot less gas so the grind its paying off. Tryna be that guy they go to when they open up the catering in my area.. Im curious what city / state you work in ?
I personally have found that taking some lower paid orders occasionally has seemed to have helped me overall. Tha ks for all this advice.
I feel like this is all true, based on my experience. I’ve also noticed that Doordash seems to pay attention to the reason I give for declining. It tests me and then finally agrees and gives me what I want.
You're training DD's algorithmic system on how to treat you! That monster will try you time & again! The more than sophisticated that machine gets the more it'll try you. Speaking from experience during my short time at DD. Unfortunately it's the sign of things to come.
DD don't care what you put as a decline reason. They just want to make it harder to decline an order cause they know you're driving.
I feel it "becomes aware" when you take that one order you decided to slightly compromise on by sending you more like it afterwards. Once I do that for the reasons I do I decline the other ones and literally say out loud, "I'm not playing this game!" 😤😆
Yup!
Decline bc distance is too far, sends another order even further away. I'm like bruh, stop.
Honestly, the biggest change I have seen is when I dropped below 50%. When I was 50% or higher I got on average twice the mileage for tip payout. So for $8 I would be traveling no more than four miles. Once I drop below that I never got those offers. The algorithm is built to make you take really crappy orders otherwise it will punish you tremendously and it will keep you under that 50%. I've even checked this. I can take three orders in a row yet I will only go up 1%. I turned down one maybe two crap orders and I drop 1%. Doordash is honestly worse than I've ever seen. I'm thinking about going to a different app. I've even noticed a lot of people from competing apps 10 to show up and just take off with the food no wait time.
This has been VERY informative! I’m determined to learn all I can to meet my goal(s). Thank you.❤
I just subscribed, thanks for all the nuggets of info. I just started with DoorDash. My first month 👍😎
There is a big difference for city drivers than for those that live in South and have to worrie about the miles put on car
One of the issues I've run into is my town (250k people) is oversaturated with dashers. You have to schedule to even dash, and the schedule is always 100% full. The only way I can dash in my hometown is by being a "top dasher" so I have to keep my acceptance rating above 80% to even qualify for that. So, unfortunately, declining doesn't really seem to be an option for me unless I want to spend a crap ton on fuel to go to the next big city (an hour away)
I have the exact same problem.
I i have the exact same problem too!!
Accept all orders during slow times to keep your percentage up so you can be choosier during peak times when it can make the biggest difference? 🤔
YOURS is BEST advice ever!! Thank-you!!
I'm very grateful that youtube put this in my recommended. I just started dashing this week. It's a side gig, but I do need this. I'm in a smaller town.
I watched a video that said to take all the orders in the beginning. So far I have 8 orders that I ran with no tip.
I have a feeling that I need to stop accepting those.
I'm not a dasher. I came here to learn more about how this new industry works. To learn for the sake of learning.
Nothing wrong with that, we learn something new everyday...😊
I hate it when they send me an order and I don't like that restaurant because they're super rude to dashers so I choose "I avoid this restaurant" only to get the same restaurant 3 more times after declining. Or when I have an order that's like $6 for 10 miles so I choose "Order is too small" only to get an even smaller order like $5.25 for 10 miles. This is so irritating especially because I'm a top dasher.
I have a couple like that. Total Wine is one of my pickups that's like that. Usually good money but they don't like helping find the correct items, and the app doesn't offer the Aisle info anymore.
pause your app for 5 min so so bozo can pick that order up
I'm a top dasher in my area and I don't do anything under $1 a mile. I'll consider the time if its rush hour.
what you choose when declining doesn't matter, that's just for DD's info, but I just hit whatever is the first option, i don't even look, i'm trying to decline asap
Your humor is amazing thanks for the tip about to try them now
Subscribed and thank you for your time and information. New dasher looking to decrease my time on the road but make the same amount of money I make now with door dash .
I started Door dashing 3 days ago and I made almost 50 deliveries. I was just offered higher end orders by Doordash. I guess what had helped me was that I had delivered pizza for 8 1/2 years 30 years ago. I am fine tuning my deliveries to get the catering gigs. 150 deliveries to go. All other criteria has been met. 🤪
I try to do orders that equal $2 per mile and lately I’ve been getting offered orders like that but at the end of the day it’s only like 50-60$ a dash. Between 20-24$ an hour. What I’ve had to do is end a scheduled dash like 30 min early then dash on the go for another hour or 2.
Thank you Bentley! Great information. ❤
Just signed up and got my bank account linked. Waiting on my card. You’re gonna be my first day orientation instructor!
Thank you so much. I have been a dasher for 3 weeks now I only did the low paying just to get the money you know but now I understand I don't have to accept ow paying orders. Thank you for the tips I appreciate it 😊 🙂
I wanted to say thank you for this video! I'm a newish dasher do this really helps! I'm a single mom and homeschools both of my babies one with autism so I needed something I could pay the bills with and be able to be with them so thank you for your video it's definitely helping us!!! God bless you and your family!
How are you doing?
Please share your delivering with kids in tow tips 😅 I try not to take mine, mainly my 3.5 year old… but she’s with me every day, all day so sometimes it’s unavoidable… like tomorrow, where I have no one to watch her and I’m scheduled from 8am-11am, 11:30am-1:30pm, and 5pm-9pm-and I multi app. Please help us lol
Yesss I’m a single mom and I door dash with both my 11yr old and 6 year only on weekends. We have to get it done one way or another. 💪🏾
Just signed up Doordash plan to do it on weekends with my 4,6,9 year olds. I’m a single mom. And I’m babysitting during the week. Hopefully this works out. ❤
I do deliveries with my daughter. I planned everything out before I did my first delivery. I bought a small fridge for my SUV to have healthy snacks on hand. She has a pillow and plenty of entertainment. She actually finds it fun lol 😂. I just started 2wks ago. My first day my husband and daughter were with me. We had so much fun! I homeschool and work in healthcare on Saturday and Sunday. I deliver after I complete my homeschooling and house chores during the week. I’m trying to make sure I get enough rest as well as put my daughter in extra curricular activities. I share my location for safety and carry protection.
I just started Dashing last week. I can't wait to apply his tips when I dash this weekend. I'm only doing weekends right now but I would love to replace my 2nd job with door dash once I get in the groove
BOOM! Completely agree I knew this was true (DoorDash knows you) this is why you get the orders you get I just couldn’t prove it. Thank you thank you
Same here that’s why I always laugh at people who diss my AR rate and take a few low orders that eventually build up. To this day, I have NEVER seen a $2 order, ever. That’s Doordash pushing you out, without needing to deactivate, if you ask me.
“A discount on what they can pay you.” Man, they haven’t payed me more than $2.50 per order in a WHILE. It used to be that base pay would adjust for longer distance orders. Now I’ve literally had 14 mile orders pay $2.50. That’s outrageous. They aren’t paying me any extra for anything.
At $2.50 you arent only working for free! You actually paying DD & your customers so you can work for free!
@@alvinalexander9868 but it's fun though right!
You messed up your ranking and probably ended up at the bottom of the list somehow. Like he said everything you do matters, including your battery percentage, what other apps you have open, how long it takes you to park and etc. like he said reset your algorithm.
@@MisterDopest he didn't day that at all. Gtfoh.
@@MrMancreatedgod 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for your helpful and professional videos.
Thank you. This was a lot of great information. Today was my first day and at one point I started to get overwhelmed. Some places were hard to find. They didn't match up with the GPS and I was blindsided with getting more than one person on an order. I thought it was just one to one. One restaurant to one customer.
I've tried every strategy you mentioned there I've done 6,000 doordash deliveries. Taking low paying orders only makes sense if they're within one to two miles. When I drop my order orders down 10% but that changes the algorithm so I get more low orders. Anyone else experienced this! 😉😉
I agree with the miles. Keep it tight!!
Agree...low orders non stop! That theory proved wrong!@@
I have no idea how this gentleman makes 1200 weekly i cant even make 150 a day not even a hundred with those cheap as dollar menu orders no way i will lower my standards to this crap of company might as well do their orders for free not in miami and thats a fact
maybe actually test what he is saying instead of just talking shit?
Try zone switching if there any other smaller zones to see if there better Miami I thought would’ve been a good place cause it’s populated
Gotta go to a different zone at that point
Luck of the draw and knowing your zones in your market. Some zones are hard to make $150 going all day but there are plenty in my neck of the woods where I can make that in 5-6 hours
Awesome info!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Great info man. I actually saw this info in action last night dashing
