I do door dash when I have my kids in school and my husband knows the city and drives for me and I pick up and drop off we work sometimes on the weekends and not nights cause kids go to bed for school
Just until I can drive soon
I made 300 dollars first 4 days
I dash 7/8 hrs a day and get 1600 a week, been dashing for 4 years..also the top dasher now is offered $30-$100 orders its pretty nice.
@@blackcruze1379 I made 450 in a day once
What is the best area to DD in Miami please?
I got my first triple order the other day, I’ve had plenty of stacked orders but never three. I made $48 and only had to drive 4 miles in total. Took me less then 20 minutes.
How the hell did you do that ? I’ve been tryna get one of those
coooooool ! congrats
I get three orders a lot but never take them but that's sounds good....nice to make more and not less.
Tonight was my first night driving. I ended up getting a triple order for $38. 3 miles total. It was awesome!
@@josephhetu2720 right on man 🤙🏻
I like to always stay within a certain radius so I’m not driving forever. Really pay attention to the distance when accepting orders because sometimes Doordash will make the distance seem shorter than it actually is.
So true
So how does that work? When I see the offer before I accept is says 6.5 miles, for etc. How do I confirm that’s accurate before taking the order or accepting it? Thanks
@@t.terrell7037 Curious as well
But what about your acceptance rate
Also they will show you the map upside down when they realize that you’re not going towards a certain area. This makes you think you’re going away you want then when you except at the map flips over
Tonight I had a two tips for 15 and another for 20 right after. Talk about making 50 a hour.
I find I make less when there is a peak pay, I believe it is because it encourages more dashers to be on the road and thus decreasing the demand for dashers and giving me less options
It's actually because there are fewer orders coming in, most drivers have gone home, and Doordash is paying you for a slow shift that no one wants to work. That's why peak pay often happens late at night.
Or bad weather pay.
@@abesapien9930 no it’s actually true it depends sometimes during peak pay more people are on the road dashing
It even says it on the app
Same!
I usually make way more during peak pay, plus I usually get way more options when it comes to orders and sometimes even see 2 orders put together.
Took an order for DoorDash that showed $6.50 for 2 miles. Accepted it and when I completed it the payout was actually $60.55. It ended up being a catering order delivered to an office. DoorDash needs to show more of what the real total is!
They said it, and it don’t matter what you think about it. Times up. The week I accepted everything for the most part, I made 1,200.
I never ever ever ever do Walmart never do Walmart it's too many miles for the money and you got to go to a third-floor apartment and take three trips up there with cat litter oil potatoes and who knows what
Me either you can make the same amount just doing regular deliveries, they need to pay way more for that. I'm not shopping for no one either not enough money for more work=not!
Agreed girl!! I did 2 WalMart express to high end neighborhoods in Utah... And neither one your a dime... Shame on them
@@jennifersimmons4810 Walmart tells their customers are not required to tip so don't do Walmart Walgreens and Safeway has made me a lot of money make money honey thanks for your comment
I always get really good walmart and Walgreens orders. Once one was $21 5 mile to a house that I left the item on the porch. Walgreens $15 1 4 items mile to another house. It's so risky taking them but I usually get really good ones.
@@BawseUpInTech Walgreens and safeway pay me really 👍 good
The problem with the volume strategy is that you don’t actually make more money. DoorDash is referring to revenue and not net profit. When you consider all the miles you put on your vehicle and the cost of gas, running a bunch of small orders is terrible.
So true many miles might be better off driving hours away dash along way and come back
Most people are using this to hide how cheap they are
True but what a lot of people don’t seem to know is that you write gas and car maintenance etc off on your taxes and you get so much money back
@@Mercedessheppard04 Depends on the state.
@@uslsuspect no necessarily, if you read about it you’re an independent contractor and you have to write it all off on your taxes
I watched your videos when I started....I now make between 800 - 1300 A WEEK! THANK YOU , Dothan, Alabama
How many hours do u work each day? And do u work 7 days a week?
Wow where you stay. I have the same question the person above me have
You do that good in Dothan? I usually do either Montgomery or Auburn since I live in between
I started a month now I do full time and make about 1000-1400 a week. I work 7 days though
I make about 400 a week in Tallahassee east side.
From a business perspective i find it’s effective to do both high volume strategy if you’re working outside of peak hours and multi app then during the hours of 10:30-12 and 5-7 do the high pay low volume but still across multiple apps. The idea is to keep food in your bag as long as your clocked in within reason as long as you’re not doing any orders under $6
Definitely agree about the peak pay not translating into more per hour. I live in a very small market that is brand new to DD. 8000 people, and only four merchants listed on the DD customer order app. Peak pay is $5 all day, every day. Although, it has recently dropped for the dinner rush to $1.50, as they get more drivers scheduled for the area. I took ONE shift of the $5 peak pay, and was lucky to have a total payout of $9-$10 per order, but only an average of one order per hour.
I'm just watching your clips on everything I need to know before starting Door Dash.
Thanks for your tips. It's taking long time to break into doordash in my market n.y.. So while I'm waiting watching all your videos, been doing uber and amazon flex for 4 years. Too many drivers!! Thanks for all good ideas.
New dasher as of October 19th 2021, I did a few deliveries just to see how things went, so far so good! Thanks for this information 😊.
I just did my first 4 orders today. 2 were for 3 bucks no tips. Not doing that again
I can't really speak on anyone city but yesterday here in Pittsburgh I had a double stack order from Chipotle and Moe's downtown PGH going 4.7 miles for $19 combined. I definitely took the snapshot of it. So yeah guys and gals just keep hustling the number 1 goal is to make money
The highest peak pay I’ve seen in my market was $7 during a snow storm this past winter. Usually the highest I see is 3-4 but occasionally it gets higher.
Always learning something new. I’m at 500 deliveries lifetime. Will try to pick up at higher end restaurants.
Thank you for these tips I have followed most of these ideas but it is a great reminder to me to always be researching. 👍👍👍👍
I’m usually able to average $23 an order, due to being very picky with my orders. I do around 8-12 orders a day and that makes me around 150-200
Wow what market are you in? If you don’t mind me asking. I am in Fayetteville, NC I don’t think we get orders that large 😂
Do you mind sharing what your acceptance rate is?
Cherry pick in...
@@GigTube I get orders like that all the time it just depends on your area
I do about the same you you man :) I do about 12-14 orders and get about $150-200
DD is my side hustle to earn extra money after my FT desk job. I’m lucky in that I live in an area with 2 cities stacked on top of each other. One smaller city, and one medium sized city. A mix of upper middle and lower upper class. There are oodles of restaurants and stores up and down a 5 mile stretch of Main Street. So in my area, I don’t take orders less than $8, and they have to be less than 5 miles away (both restaurant and delivery).
I’m doing better than ever before!
I also quit trying to dash on the weekends, as too many dashers are out then, and I don’t get enough orders to justify spending my whole weekend working.
Instead, I do 2-4 orders every day after work, and make more that way, and still have my weekends.
And I NEVER dash if PP is above $2....that’s a guaranteed way to make no money here. Every dasher comes crawling out of the woodwork. I just end up getting upset.
There is NO such thing as lower upper class.
I am new to this and have used your videos for help and this has made this side gig so much easier!!
Work smarter and not harder!!!
I work my regular job in Pittsburgh, I live outside downtown (Glassport) so I usually work between West Mifflin (South Pitt) & Mckeesport area. Thank you for your help and advice!
Walgreens could be really good to $8.50 to $15 for 2 miles
In one of my order which was 15 miles! I accepted it because it said it was 18.50! When I finished the customer gave me a $70 tip!! Made 88.50 in one Walmart order which only had 20 items
I like your apartment color scheme. It's funky.
Great video! Sounds similar to my approach glad you can help a wider range of dashers
Be realistic is a perfect counsel. I did have one order of $21 dollars last week. That ended up being $60 because the ladies gave a $40 tip 🤣 i probably will never see that again. On non peak days I stay with $7+ that are 1-5 miles. Decline everything else. On peak days (usually +$2 here in Orlando) i won't take anything below $9 and that's only if I'm getting nothing.
Lol
I’m in San Francisco every order is high. Just started today. Wish me
Luck. Update to come.
So, how was it? Im dashing in NY
Be safe and make that money..👍
@@user-pj7mk5yn3n I make 80$ an hour
Update: 80$ an hour San Francisco
@@darren415 Seriously?
I'm in New York, I get 30 bucks an hour. Mostly orders for $ 7, 13. happens 20. I work in Manhattan
Solid video brother!
Really great video thank you for sharing your process and I would agree that most of it outside of doing the mental work is luck yesterday I got a $35 tip just out of pure luck.
Highest peak for my zone is usually $1-2. Neighboring zones has been around $2-3. In the city (half hour or so south of me) peak is typically $5+.
I work 20 hours a week and make 750. I only take Oder above 8 dollars with minimum 2 mile.
Lord jesus christ, praise you!

Cool story bro
If u really want top dasher, sit at the fastest fastfood joint, and always pause AFTER you hit confirm delivery of last order, and race back to favorite joint. Unpause. Then, after 100 orders boom,, u will automatically get most available orders from the fastest place.
I love how analytical you are. You definitely have to experiment a bit. I'm fortunate that i have several higher end restaurants within two miles of my home and I've learned that's where i make my money. 90% of the time, their is a nice tip DD wasn't showing me from these places on accepting the order. I really don't waste my time with fast food (other than CF since those offers are usually different with quick times and low millage). Really just depends on your area what your options are.
I just started DoorDash 5 days ago I’m getting good orders so far but I want to continue getting big orders on a regular lol
I live in a small area which is coastal and rural. $8 orders are BIG. LOL. I actually go to a large city on a couple weekends a month. I may travel 50-70 miles but I can make that up in the first hour or two. I do 10-12 hours. I have the luxury of having family I can stay with in one city and spend 3-4 days making great money. But I do make day trips too.
Wow! Sounds like where I live! On an island in Washington. Just recently got DoorDash on the north end... I live on the south end. Drive 40 mins to get there and $8.00 are BIG here also!! And sometimes drive to Seattle to make more money!!
When I first started I was accepting every single order that came my way until I started watching videos like this with everyone saying decline smaller orders. On the 1st day I went to try declining smaller orders I went to also try out a new area for me that also had $3 or $4 peak pay (I can't remember which it was) and I quickly found out why they had peak pay in that area ALL THE TIME. It was the worst area EVER, the distances were long, almost no one tipped, and apparently, the GPS doesn't work well there. It kept taking me to the wrong apartment complexes, the apartments literally had multiple of the same building numbers, it was the worst nightmare ever. I kept having to calm myself down it was so horrible. Within about 5 hours of dashing there, I made only $24 and I will never go to that area again. It made me not want to do the whole declining order thing because I had made such little money there if I had accepted the smaller ones I would have at least made more. That area didn't even pay for me having to fill up my tank for that shift it was terrible and I haven't dashed since then. Today I'm finally going to go out again because I need to save up money for a concert I am going to and to pay down more debts but I will not go to that area. I will try the declining order thing again but I'm scared to after the small amount of money I made. I also found out while in that terrible area, that whoever declines the order ahead of you will make you get a contract violation if you are the one who finally accepts that order and completes it!!!! I have 2 contract violations on my account that are literally because everyone else originally declined their orders and I accepted them. Because they declined it that automatically made it show up that I delivered their order "late" due to Door Dashes contract violation rules which is messed up. It took several phone calls to figure that out because they still haven't emailed me about them and it's been about a month of stressing me out and making me not want to Dash and get more violations on my account. Terrible!
How to get the largest payout..location,time of day and cherry picking.
Facts❗❗
Yup
Yup make $200 a day on a good location vs a busy area
200 a day = Busy area, Peak times , MAKE SURE YOUR ORDER DROPS YOU OFF IN THE HOT ZONE OF IT TAKES YOU OUT . DON'T TAKE IT
TRUTH
Thanks for the information and great job and breaking it down. 👍
We never get peak pay. The rare occasion we do, it's like 1 dollar lol.
Yes indeed today was a good day to be a driver for doordash today was my 4th day driving and after a rough slow start were my first order was a stacked at same business which was cool but got hit with too many drinks anyways that was a nice 22.50 stack order across town but well worth it after that the day was proper first $2 peak pay after midnight got $3.Nice video man i like the topic.😁✌
You explain that very well great video very informative!
Your content is on point 🙏
Thank you for the great information.
I agree with you about the volume
I have some really big orders at Safeway $26 for 3 miles it was a Chipotle order and a Safeway order it was crazy good
New subscriber here. Thank you for the helpful tips. I started doing uber eats 2 weeks ago and I am a newbie to this.
aw hows it going now?
I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video and Distribute the information and tactics that you have come up with. But 1 thing that really stuck out for me as you said that in San Diego you seen a $6 peek pay. I live in San Diego and this is where I -. I've never seen a $6 peek pay. Where in when was that
I usually stay near the high market area which for me is Safeway, those orders especially if you have to use the red card and shop pAys around 15$ sometimes 20$ in my area. And once I’m done with my delivery I pause the dash and head back to my area and resume the dash again.
I’m a new dasher, should I apply for the red card and if so what are the benefits of it. Also why do u pause ur dash when ur going back to ur area, sometimes I get orders outside my area that take me back to my area which is always a plus.
I’ve been getting alot of 2 and 3 orders at once and Walgreens alot but other dashers in my area I’ve met in restaurants don’t
I hate multiple orders because it always ends up being majority of the tip is from one delivery while the other one(s) have little to no tip.
What a great video. Thanks for the advice.
Our highest peak is around $3..and we are in a tourist area...the Great Smokey Mountains. So trips can be anywhere from 1 mile to 20.
I have had a couple of orders for 20+...but the drive time was almost 40 min..due to traffic and miles.
It always pays to be doubled up, but for that you need to know what merchants are the most likely to get you there, and making sure you sit on the order after acceptance until a few minutes passed pickup time regardless of when they make the food. Hitting 'confirm pickup' right away stops you from being doubled up. Ive found promo money is always for areas that have less orders. Its usually not worth it unless promo money is $4 or more to amount to anything. But you always want to be doubled up.
I haven't seen videos about declining orders, do you? Are you as selective with your orders by declining as many claim is a good solution to potentially getting better offers?
I got one single order, never another, for $65.00. It was a shopping order that took me an hour. I wasn't complaining.
Off topic but DD needs to make a mid sized bag. Now that these fast food merchants are bagging everything, their bags are very difficult to get into our bags. We need something a little taller and longer, the width and being collapsible seems OK.
They provide it for free. You're welcome to buy your own bags if you need
Amazon.
@@numetal4304 DD only provides you first bag for free. DD offers bags for sale. I buy and like DD bags except they should have a bag a little bigger than the small offered one but smaller than the catering bag. I bought two of them all.
@@Sp00nie I want an authentic DD bag
@@dennismadigan2023 alot of bags on amazon are higher quality than the DD bag
Been doordashing for 2 years now. Its super easy to do 30 hrs and make 1200 a week. Most in made in a week was 2800. Its a great job. At the end of the day though still only dollars for ours.
Awesome! What cities do you work in?
Depends on the city and state if you driving midnight . For me it’s 11am to 2pm and 5pm til 9:30pm Monday to Saturday averaging at least $20 hourly.
One thing you forgot: Drop-off neighborhood. One of the biggest factors in my market for the size of the tip is the neighborhood the food is going too. Sometimes regardless of the restaurant. Wealthier neighborhoods usually tip much better. Of course there are exceptions. I average $30 per hours just by mainly taking orders that drop off in richer areas OR orders that drop-off closer to high end restaurants. Once you drive enough you have a map of the area in your head and you know exactly which orders to take or avoid.
That would make sense but unfortunately just not the case. I deliver to some high end neighborhoods and the tips are average. Some deliveries to really rough neighborhoods with surprisingly good tips. You just don't know in this business. As far as getting good orders no rhyme or reason there either. Just decline and decline again until a good one pops up. I just love these tubers who figured out the algorithm??? Lmfao. The algorithm pings drivers who are active and near a pick up point. How hard was that to figure out.
@@timothyslaughter476 I agree. I went to a home that was almost a million dollar home and I had to walk down a long driveway and it was like a 4 dollar tip. I didn’t know this area until I got there. When I go to rougher neighborhoods, I’m so grateful because of the appreciation of residents giving me 10-15 tips.
Agreed, in my area I like to hang out by a nice cookie place, high order volumes, almost always a multimillion dollar house, I'm not even surprised anymore when I get a $10 tip on $15 worth of cookies for 4 miles
I don’t know why they won’t show the full tip. I’ve ordered from the platform myself and know that tips are paid ahead of time. I find myself declining orders for example $7.50 for 5 miles, when it really could turn out to be $12.50. I think if they would show the full tip more orders would be accepted quicker.
That's just the customer changing the tip after you pick up the food.
@@Kaybuxx Possibly, though DoorDash also actively hides the tip on some orders. There's ways you can actually see the full pay prior to accepting the order. In my experience doordash may say $5, the app I use to know the full-pay says it's actually $8, I accept -- finish the delivery and what do you know, I get $8.
@@ghoulbby what’s app are you using ?
@@ghoulbby what app bro
@@jdjd1965 whats mr flex video on it he will tell you the app and what you need to know
NOTHING beats grocery store tips!!! I've made $25 in 25 min several times😎
I got a $90 order today from Walmart that had 10 packages. There was a $5 bonus at the time so each package was worth $9. Took 40 minutes ish.
That's awesome. Walmart orders here are terrible, but I think it's because they go through the store first and Walmart's website doesn't really have an easy way to add a tip for dashers as far as we can tell besides a kinda hidden spot that only shows up after you order.. Meaning basically none of them have tips and some more elderly customers didn't even know they had ordered same-day delivery. They just thought it was shipping out via mail or whatever lol. Super weird times I guess... Hopefully they switch to Spark soon and I bet that will have a tip prompt right at checkout in big bold letters 🙄
I live in Arkansas and the base pay here is always around 2.00 or 2.50. The peak pay is ALWAYS at night starting at 9pm-12am (which is dark and you can't see the addresses on the houses). We don't make alot of money in my area. I've been Dashing since July and have NEVER made more than $150 in a week, and that's dashing 5-6 days a week.
I had the same thing that you stated, I made 90 dollars last night working from 5:30 to 9:00 and made 90$
I haven't dashed since before Thanksgiving and I am Gonna start doing it again.
I made 5 grand in less than three months.
As a single man with no kids. This is a solid gig as long as you treat it like the real job it is.
As long as this job exists I'm never going back to regular work.
That's how much better dashing is for me.
same bro, single man 21 y/o w no kids, I can’t stand working for other people, get yourself a fuel efficient car and stack the dough. Stay on the grind
@@seanlennox2665 How long u been dashing?
The whole thing is, DoorDash doesn’t show the full payouts. But we’re supposed to know and read minds. They WANT us to play the guessing game. Just remember that.
@@GigTube It is still a guessing game man. You’re hoping and wishing that it’s more.. That theory isn’t always true. Had plenty of $8 orders come on over $30 subtotal that weren’t more than the $8. But that’s ok.
they have to do that in order to prevent cherry pickers. if you have too many cherry pickers, no ones order gets delivered and the business shuts down
I got a $30 tip last night from delivering pho. The drive wasn’t too bad at all and barely cars on the road.
I have a formula I stick with, and just stick to the formula for choosing orders. Minimum is $6.00 for up to 4.0 miles, $1.00 per each mile after that. If there is any peak pay currently being offered, add the peak pay to my minimum. I do go down to a $5.00 minimum if I need an order to get my shift started, but try to keep that order under a 3 mile drive. Only exception when I turn down a good paying order is if the destination is too far into Baltimore City. I don't like driving more than about 1 mile over the City line. I try to stay in the suburbs as much as I can.
I'm the same I stick to five or six dollars for one mile $8 for two miles and then I'll go 3 miles if it's more than that but I never go more than 3 miles it takes me where I don't want to go
I'm in Maryland as well,closer to DC
I’m a new dasher but I figured out quickly that by accepting more orders and getting your acceptance rate at 80% they send you crap mixed with awesome orders. I accept one crap low mile and then they send $22 or three-stacked orders low mile great pay great tip. Just yesterday I made $45 dlls in one three- stacked, took 25 minutes.
Great video !!!! Thank you!
For my area my only promo times are late late night when nothing's open (9pm-5am). Is it worth it driving 30 minutes out to somewhere that HAS promos during dinner times?
Amazing advice
Great info, but how are you collecting all this data? Do you have a notebook that you’re writing all of this down while in route? A good video would be how you’re collecting this data and analyzing it.
The aclchol ones are better they give good tips
Not all though some of them go just like reg orders
For my market, $4 is the highest peak pay.
I live in a extremely small town I have never seen the base pay go higher than $4 & unfortunately peak pay is only 9p.m-2a.m which I can't work.... I'm wondering if I should travel to the city and work in the bigger areas during lunch rush.
Just started dashing in the houston area. My acceptance ratio is around 10% cause I don't get accept order less than 7 dollars I usually make 50 bucks a night for 3 hours and I get to many 2 dollar orders folks are cheap in my area when they want their food to be delivered lol. Still need to experiment in areas where people would pay decent.
I let those 2 -4 buck orders time out.
I also do in Houston, never make deliveries that pay little even if they are low mileage, look for areas with people who have a good income and more expensive restaurants
I didn't used to get those 2.50 cent orders till more recently. They have been awful. I don't accept those for any reason. If you make sure the mileage is less than what dollar amount your getting paid and don't go above 6 or 7 miles unless it's worth your time you can make better money. Right now, the gas doesn't pay to accept any orders that aren't worth your time or miles you put on your car. I decline those orders and usually either state the mileage is too far or the order is too small. Today I only worked 3 hours but I averaged a little more than 20 an hour and I am in little West Virginia. Nothing like some of these bigger states like Houston, Texas.
Thanks bro
The first time I drove during peak pay I didn’t get an order for 30 minutes and right before the peak pay started I was getting constant orders.
I've been doing that lately and I'm making good money. If you take everything you wont make good money I dont take any orders under $6. We are out here to make money not to be underpaid and doing all the work other wise what is the point.
I'm new. On the app, I'm not seeing how many miles the the order is before accepting the order. It doesn't give me the final address until after I confirm pickup of the food. Am I missing sometlhing? I have been taking all orders to get a few under my belt, but I'm already learning the best places to sit. I'm taking notes each shift along with my miles driven. Thanks for the video!
Get gas buddy app, save 45 cents a gallon, also track all expenses with a tracking app there are lots, for every $100 you make save $25. Check your cars fluids and tires daily, get the dasher direct card and get payed every 24 hours
I'm picky on my orders. My acceptance rate is 13% the best for me is to find accept a quick drop off like down the freeway 7-10 mins or a fast route in the city. But most of the time I have to make 1.50 a mile at least. Exceptions are 12-13 mile trips that are 90% freeway for at least 10 dollars. I only accept restaurants that are quick. McDonald's is always a fast pick up. So is Chic Fila. A few chipotle are great in my area. Dinners I only accept orders with more than 4 items because it seems the tips are higher. I got an order today for 9.25 when I accepted it but when I completed the order it was 19.50.
Where I live we have beldon village. Pretty sure it has the most restaurants in a 2sq mile than any other area in the country.
Thanks for all your helpful videos on doordash and other gig apps! Was instacart full time where I live until I got deactivated over something stupid and now I'm doing doordash, but pretty new at it. It's not too different, but it does seem less predictable when I will get business. Trying to familiarize myself with everyone and everyone and everything as I normally do when I'm taking on something new like this and I ended up in a conversation with another really experienced dasher (claimed to have over 5k completed orders, but who knows?) in my area who grew up here just like me. Me, on the other hand I'm sitting at just over 200 orders because I've got a family to take care of that's gotten a lot bigger since 2020, but money has gotten tight to the point where I should have probably gotten started on this a year ago lol. Either way, he felt the need to impart his wisdom with me after finding out I was new and was strongly advocating for the "volume method" as you described which would be a means to obtain top dasher status which would boost my earnings. Hard to say whether or not he's being serious or just trying to trip me up by giving me bad advice, but I politely agreed with him as you do when you're talking to a complete stranger from your car in a dimly lit parking lot lmfao.
I have a 100% accept rate. I accept any and all orders. Am a top dasher and I easily make $200+ per day. I don’t think it matters so much about picking and choosing which orders to accept, but accepting everything as it comes your way.
I just started dashing and have so much social anxiety... there is a reason I won't go through the drive through and place people's orders I stick to restaurants like Red Robin and I will not to grocery pick ups ... starting new I just want to get a Hang of the process and feel comfortable before I move on to double stacking and other restaurants that I never been to
Find a dense area with restaurants and not too many other drivers . Working when people are intoxicated is best in those areas as well because the tips are usually higher lol
Highest pay out I got was for 30 but then didn’t get any other dashes that night. Also got a 20 for a Little Caesar’s order, a combined orders for 18 at the same location all in the same shift. Also got another combined order for 18 at Petco of all places. Had a few 13, 14 and 15 dollar orders. This is in Houston
I'm in Houston how do you get store pick ups
Here in Vegas the usual order prices are 5$-9$ there’s nights when I’ll get nothing but 9$ and up then there’s certain areas and times that are nothing but 2$ orders
Had 2 late orders that took my on-time score down 10%. First one was due to app sending me to wrong location. Saw the correct merchant later then went there, but was 10 min late, & called in to support to change score, but hasn't happened. Then got pulled over for touching my phone while driving. Late delivery that I'll eat.
Any suggestions?
I patrol in the area with a promotion around $1.50-3, I had to take out two orders from a busy mall, made $50 in tips each was 25, Just patrol in the area where it’s red hot and there’s a promotion pay but stay close to ya area
I found out through violations that even pick up time is counted , here I was thinking I could pick it up after I have a bite and know I have time before a late delivery but there goes that plan 😣🤣
Of course it’s counted? Tf
The key is "arriving" physically at the restaurant and clicking you arrived (on time). You can then burn a little time if there's extra before the deliver by time
What sucks is that in my market there are what we who dash in my area call "cell hell areas" or where cell signal is absolutely horrible where just doing things like clicking "arrived at store" or "Confirm" pick up is next to impossible. Give you an example...today, I got a stacked order and I struggled to click "arrived at store" for the 1st of the two pick ups. Then I couldnt confirm the 1st pick up much less the 2nd. I was on the phone with support for 15 minutes trying to confirm the 1st pick up. I finally said forget it and drove to the 1st drop off which thankfully before everything went sideways I was able to write down both addresses but since I couldnt confirm the 1st pick up (i had to have door dash support mark that as complete) I couldnt pick up the 2nd order. Thats how bad the signal was. I managed to complete the 1st order but with a LOT of screaming and help from support. But what a headache.
I once got a 31 dollar order from a customer who ordered 44 items from Walmart was the best day ever 👌
About the only time the high volume, low payout approach works is during a Doordash peak pay promo.
When we have high peak pays in Tacoma area it was hard to get any orders because we are so saturated with drivers
Thans brother from Ohio great video.
I don’t work anytime there’s a Bonus of more than $1.50 in my area bc all the Part Timers come out never has better than $3 peak pay here. It’s a Wealthier area of NC (Davidson/LKN/Mooresville) so it gets clogged with too many Drivers. I still Avg between as low as $18/19 per hour to as Much as $25-27 per hour Consistent Lunch/Dinner
Wow. I just started door dash. The people in Bronx, NY aren't good tippers at all. Out of 12 orders I got $7 in tips. My pick up and drop off time is good. I always communicate with my customers to let them know if they're still making their food. They just thing the delivery fee is a tip.
If you do a stacked order, will it have you deliver each one in a specific order so everything is delivered in the most efficient way possible and on time?
Sometimes it does, yesterday I had it set me up automatically for a dead head loop which was the less efficient route. You can change the order of delivery as long as you wont be late.
Is california the only place to get huge offers like this I deliver in louisiana/florida/new jersey and my highest offers are $8-9 I don't take trash $3-5 deliveries $6 is my minimum
