Great tips! Have you done a video yet about Uber Eats Boost+ ??
More money 2.50 sucks 😞😞😞 for ride is not worth it
I really DoorDash would show the busy or not busy map when you are dashing. You know when you are dashing, you can flip back to just the regular home screen where the map is? There in that part....DoorDash should have the busy or not busy map inside there. It would just be convenient. Actually the only way I can tell if it's busy in my area is by going to schedule. I look to see if there are any open spots in schedule. If there is I know it's busy or somewhat busy. Same with other cities. If there are no slot times available, you know it's not busy at all.
"Peak pay" "top dasher" "dead miles" etc. All these door dash specific verbiage. Some are kinda self explanatory. But not all. Can you do a video just going over the door dash verbiage? I'm a grandma. Considering door dash. It might just be me who is sometimes lost because of language I don't understand. But I would be eternally grateful
There should be a minimum $5 tip. For convenience getting food delivered
Door dash takes that premium !
One thing I do that I haven’t heard any of u mention is…I bought a 5.00 DoorDash Lanyard & put my extra car remote on..So when I walk n a restaurant where no one knows me,,they’ll see that AND so I’m not digging for my keychain everytime I go to lock or get back n my car!!! Saves me SOOO much time!!!
I’m going to do that thanks.
Sometimes parking AWAY from the restaurant is helpful. Not blocks away, but where you can make a fast getaway to be on your way instead of fighting the crowd at the door or entrance to the restaurant..
Hi
I’m a 73 year old female,16months in with over 4,000 deliveries. I like top dasher because I don’t want to schedule in advance. I work the morning hours and during the summer do a second dash from 5-8p
They don’t care because they’re constantly trying to underpay for every order. They don’t even use common sense offers. They’re like the Pawn Shop guy, “best I can do is two dollars. OK $2.25”
Exactly. I was on ebt I got two orders back to back one was 17.5 miles the other was 19. Declined both got kicked out went back on dash now got the 17 mile order 2 more times. So add that up on your AR
100%, companies in basically any industry always try to pay as little as possible to maximize margin. It’s tricky here because we can’t negotiate a salary directly but we can indirectly by only taking the best runs! And we’re allowed to do so as independent contractors
Facts
@@YourDriverMikebut if declines those small orders your ratings goes down 😂 and than you are stuck with barely orders
Look for other job 😅easy to do it
Hi Mike. I don’t know when this was implemented, but I noticed that Doordash now gives you the option to switch zones if you get a delivery that takes you out of yours and the one you ended up in is busier.
Also, in regards of your parking tip, what I usually do is go dashing with my wife. That way, either I stay in the car and she picks up the order so I don’t have to bother too much about parking, or I park wherever and if needed she moves the car. Anyone who is able to go dashing with someone should give it a try at least once.
I love dashing with a partner.
I didn’t and we fought the whole time. Thankfully he’s an ex now.
I've seen the Pizza Hut it's supposed to keep DoorDash pizza bags in stock because of their contract with DoorDash. My first pizza order was at a Pizza Hut in Tulsa. When I asked if they had a spare hot bag for my order, they busted out a rather cheap but useful DoorDash pizza hot bag. I use it as my second hot bag for other orders like McDonald's by standing it on the end.
Navigation is easier if when you’re in the store, you Google map the delivery address and have it ready to go right when you get in car. Left top corner shows you who your delivering too before you click that u picked up the order. Map it first. Then click order picked up and go . I always use my Apple map in my car. The DD map is often slower , freezes etc.
Thanks for the tips and info. My AR is in the 80’s. I love the food,pizza and flower orders. I stay away from alcohol and dollar stores.
I HATE flower orders, im colorblind and get sent to the jewel osco flower department constantly, and there is never a worker for that department so I have zero clue what a yellow or red flowers look like. I gotta basically go up to a random shopper n be like "look at this, did i grab the right thing!?"
I have a high acceptance rate and top dasher. I maintain this by taking a shitload of orders so I can be picky. I even decline after accepting if UberEats offers me something better at the same time. 😁👍🏻 My UberEats acceptance rate is 40% because I keep it running 🤣🤫👍🏻
Last weekend I got my doordash acceptance up to 52% but the offers are no different than when I was at 26%. So now I’m down to 38% because I kept declining the bad offers. Lots of miles being the same as pay, decline.
My acceptance is 13%, I still get great offers. I will not drive for less than $1/mile. I might be wrong, but I don’t think acceptance % makes that much diff. Either way, we as drivers can decide to accept bids or not.
I have 100% acceptance, 100% completion, and 4.95 customer ratings, I am constantly getting orders seven when it’s slow
@@333vang4what do u avg per hour, and what are your gas expenses?
Is that no less than a $1.00 one way per mile or round trip miles? @@kdn142
Thanks forgot about the pizza bag just did it , TY
Great information and reminders not to wait in line and show the red bag
DD 100% offer incentives when you haven’t been driving for a while. My wife gets those “$200 for 25 deliveries” every 2 months, cause she’s not a full-time driver. Meanwhile, I don’t get offered those at all, cause I’m on the road often.
Door dash shouldnt allowed orders with no tips.

Would love to see a video on your thoughts about doordash's new tier program
Hi Mike, you are awesome. I just wanted to let you know that a pizza bag works great for the taller bags. I've been using them for awhile now. I do have a catering bag. But the taller bags won't fit in the catering bag because it just is not deep enough. Try it yourself and see if it works for you.
Thanks Helen, which bags won't fit in a catering bag that's one TALL bag lol I think I've had very few that were too tall but I can always bend the top over a bit
as a doordasher i can confirm ive parked illegally in disabled spots several times because there was absolutely no parking spots available.
Man disabbled don’t recommend walk 100 yards if you need to in some states that is hard to get off record and the fine is insane.
Pizza Hut gave me. Free pizza bag they are available to everyone who DoorDash just ask !! No cap
The shift audible strategy helped me earn more in a different zone for profitable orders.
Glad to hear it!
I've done 2 auto parts store runs, which I like
They care enough to have drivers and as long as people will drive they will keep as much as they can
Honestly that's just any business. Gotta keep the profit margin as high as possible.
@@JohnSmith-bs9ym so true it’s such a balance of expenses and worker satisfaction
it's republicans to rip you off as much as you can tolerate !!
@@YourDriverMike
Yeah ive tried getting 70% but every time im in the high 60% i just get huge strings 5-7 straight of horrible orders and drop back to 50-60% so i just try to stay around 60% and in the diamond program...once or twice a week I usually get a $30 order and get 2/3 around $15-$20
Great video
Thanks Johan!
I have been getting offers from Flex for blocks starting around 3:30am to 7:30. What deliveries would Amazon be doing at this time of the day?
I like to ask someone’s opinion. I drive only for door dash. I am busy with a delivery most of the time. I am considering getting another app to drive for with Dior dash. I don’t see much information about doing this. What would happen to my acceptance rate if I took an order from the other app and delivered it? Would my acceptance rate plummet? TIA
No
My husband has been doing DD for 2 weeks now and a TD as well with high ratings. All of a sudden on our 3rd week we can only schedule making it harder for us to make more money and why do they make you schedule?
When i leave the zone after doing a dash itll say at least in my market yhat ill get dashes along the way and its worked out for me
It's so slow in my area, last night was the first time I've never had a red heatmap during dinner
Keep an eye on that, one night is fine but trend it out over a few weeks. There's also seasonality that goes into it as well
Food delivery became total garbage in SoCAL. I stopped doing it after 5k deliveries.
Thanks for sharing Berk, which market? I’m curious what the next best niche will be
@@YourDriverMike Los Angeles and Orange County. Back in late 2021 and early 2022 I used to make at least one thousand bucks doing doordash for 40 hours in LA.
good info
Glad to help!
What do you think about using the Solo app?
No app , i repeat no app cares about what the shopper/driver makes
I have always wondered why does My Dasher App look different or oudated compared to what I see on your end ? is it a particular setting or do i need to download a different version of the App. Cause I see varying differences as well when I look through the Dasher's help menus when looking to fix a particular issue scenario and their tutorial on there looks different to what I use on my end.
Ther are different variations for different markets. My in app interface changes from Miami to West Palm Beach.
oh interesting I've always found it an issue before whenever I'd call support due to an issue and they'd show me instructions for a Completely different app api but that was about a year or so ago that I used support in that manner @@sylvesterdortch4399
varies by phone and market, me and my spouse are same market and im on apple, she is android, and the options and layout of both are vastly different and I even have options she doesnt.
@@pepsilove6306 yeah this situation becomes frustrating when you try to contact support during late hrs and they give you support tutorials for how to resolve an issue if a customer at an apartment doesn't respond, and the guide is for something I don't have although that was a few years ago nw
TY
Just re-listened to this… Good information… My acceptance rate is close to 50% right now because I have been getting orders that are more miles than it is Pay… So I am declining… I am in smaller area, about an hour north of Pittsburgh. I can get $100 days, that’s good for here I think… But since my acceptance rate has gotten so low from declining a lot of orders this week, not sure if it is possible… I have also seen a lot of orders that take me out of my zone, so I have refused them also. Unless they are significant pay but today they haven’t been frustrating.
That should say it’s frustrating.
Hello! I just signed up in the Butler area. Are you full or part time and how have you liked it so far? I originally signed up to do Cranberry but it seems it’s never busy there and almost all zones seem like I have to schedule. I’m sure when I get in to a rythm it will get easier to figure out where to go
I have an extremely low acceptance rate, but I make significantly more money in my market maintaining this. However, what is the best strat to speed run top dasher right at the end of the month? Hourly pay till 70% or is there a better strat? All I need is the dash now.
I’m also scared of all the super low paying orders because it’s usually people who aren’t tipping and are more likely to commit fraud. I always have to get signatures from the no tippers because of their previous fraud.
Saturday and Sunday promos helped me raise my acceptance rate. Usually $1.50-$2.00. I feel confident accepting order after order and it’s only towards the end of the promo that the orders start looking normal 😂
So what do u do to deal with gas mileage, I have a bmw n havevto do premium gas so gas is expensive n I don’t feel DoorDash is worth with having to pay 70-85 for gas
i dash in a v8 pickup. I just cherry pick. if I know I get 12mpg, it means in that 12 mpg, I gotta make sure my orders are dollar per mile worth the trip. my AR on uber eats is 8% and 51% on doordash. my rule of thumb is every 3 dashes 1 of them has to cover a gallon of gas.
There's to many now in my area they won't put a cap on hiring. My earnings has went down drastically in several areas. I can't even dash in my home town now I get nothing . It's starting to suck
Working all day and evening to earn $100-$200 while using your own car incurs expenses for gas, mileage, and wear and tear, which can be challenging. In contrast, DoorDash corporate employees earn $200,000 to $600,000 annually, equating to around $833 to $2,500 per day for an 8-hour workday. The CEO, Tony, belongs to the billionaire class. This stark contrast raises concerns about fairness, as dashers receive comparatively minimal compensation in what seems like pocket change
I only dash in the winters, and do it in a big block V8 and managed to make it work for my other main business. I do residential snow removal. I cherry pick, and when I get a nice offer drop off their food, if I notice their driveway hasnt been done, ill ask em if they want their driveway done and boom an extra 40 to 60 in my pocket.
Fairness??!! So go be a corporate employee. Yeah, that’s what I thought.
What is a good app for navigation? DD is worse gps than Uber.
I just recently signed up for UberEats, DoorDash & Grubhub. 1 of them (I can't remember which 1) asked me to pick 1 from the pulldown menu: LLC, etc. I forget the other options. I only remember LLC.
What 1 should I have picked? I plan to food/grocery deliver fulltime in the future, if it works out. Thank you.
If I picked the wrong one, I'll call them and change it.
Hey mike can you make a video on this
Going dashing with spouse or adult child helps a bunch! Faster.
Like honestly I don’t get doordash first I was like why I’m not getting orders and doordash is like well your rating is low I was like ok if get my rating up ima get orders doordash is like yea so I raise my rating lol and I still barely get orders during the day I call doorsash and they said oh we don’t know how the algorithm of doordash works I’m like umm ok so what’s the point of getting your rates up and I was in a busy zone that area is busy all day any tips
Does $1.75 per mile still apply for a 2011 Honda Pilot(16-22mpg)? Or should I aim for $2 per mile?
$1.75 is always our base goal but it’s a starting point, we always want the highest margin possible so if you can get $2-$3+ you’re doing great!
I make more money dashing in a grey zone from 6:30am till around 11am. next to no traffic, its tons of dunkin, few fancy pancake houses, and already shopped for jewel osco deliveries. in my market peak pay translates to "yer gonna rip your hair out in traffic and wait 20 minutes+ at every restaurant so every delivery takes 40 minutes"
Are area doesn’t do Olive Garden that would be good if they did
Does any company care? They don't care more, but there should be a healthy ratio like 2:1
It's over 70% acceptance rate where I am. Difficult!! Mines currently 72 it was higher but low paying orders that I declined dropped it. It's hard to keep numbers up. I've been dashing for a while I have 1201 lifetime deliveries, that may not be a lot compared to others but getting good orders is tough!!
Also this earn by time?? Never have have they offered it. It's just by order??
That's what many don't get about top dasher, that is once you get your AR up there you have to keep it there by taking more crap low-paying orders. I for one will not play that game.
Yo Mike: The "shift audible" (I still don't know what that name means) is now in the app! I dropped off an order outside of my zone, and it gave me the option to switch to the new zone! (Metro Detroit.)
Really? What’d it say? Send me a screen shot if you see it again, interesting! Hello@yourdrivermike.com
That’s great news!!
@@YourDriverMike It gave me a timer to switch zones, or continue in my current zone. If it does it again, I'll SS it for you. Might be part of a new update, because at the beginning of the shift, I had to verify my identity (like on Uber, but never on DD before), and some other things were different.

Tip #11 BREAK TRAFFIC LAWS
Lmao 😂 especially at night when no one’s on the roads
I’m so jealous! I wish I had hair!
Doordash does some really annoying stuff like take pictures over and over of pizza bag when you bought one. Or ask you if your feeling safe why? Or long distance for 2 or 3 dollars with 80% acceptance rate.
I like to really mess with doordash when they ask me if im feeling safe, they like to send me offers for a really really really bad area, and ill smack the no i dont feel safe button every time it pops up. they call me and ill be like "stop trying to send me to to the murder/robbery capital of my state"
My new rule if I dont see a tip im not accepting... those orders feel too entitled... & orders too far away
no tip no trip and a dollar a mile is my golden rules, and if the trip is outta the zone, it has to be 2 dollars a mile to cover the return trip.
They pay dashers just enough to keep doing it.
I was top dasher 3months straight but it’s all about strategy
I dont understand how some order’s customers can just not tip ive just started dashing recently and im keeping my acceptance rate up and completeion rate. Ive also order from doordash and always have had to pay a tip for the driver. I know its my loss cause I accepted those bad orders im just confused on how customers can just do that.
Agreed 💯 I think DD and all the other delivery apps should have a minimum amount set for a Tip and also explain to them that if you tip more your chances are higher for a faster delivery or something along those lines.
@@cece_titi5525no tips should not be forced like that. maybe a gratuity for large order or long drive
You missed all the really food stuff, but I don't blame you.
New dasher for 2 months still not accepted an order so where does that put me?
How do you get actual help from dasher support
Hit the question mark. I talk to them daily.
@@wayneberry3453 not what I meant but thank you
DD cares about you in the way a car dealership cares about their top sales guy. It's mostly self serving coz he's bringing in more revenue .
So I cant seem to get a good answer does your acceptance really matter, currently mine is at 62%?
unless its a really small market with an over saturation of drivers, nah acceptance rate generally means nothing. mine jumps around between 8% and 51% and the only time ive noticed a higher AR in my market helps is lunch time. but for breakfest and dinner the offers just keep flowing in.
If we work hourly, are we still independent contractors?
Sure. Just like if you hired an electrician who charged by the hour, or mechanic… they are not your employee.
😂he is in NC chances are the mall he is at is probably small and not a busy mall. lot of malls can be a ghost town now that people do not shop brick/mortar anymore
Answer to first question is NO
If I’m outside the zone, I end the dash and dash now where I’m at. I’ll sit and park with the car off until I can. I’m not wasting my gas.
Do you happen to know why I never get non-restaurant orders given to me even though my mother does? I have 55% acceptance rate, 97% completion, 4.93 customer rating
You mean the shopping orders you get when you have your red card activated?
Glitch? Mistake on your account (accidentally not sending you those)? If you think you’re not getting all available offers definitely reach out to support I’d ask them to check your account to make sure you’re qualified and will get ALL order types including non restaurant.
@@YourDriverMike appreciate it will do
I don't know if you've noticed but there is an option (in my market) for dasher settings that turns shop orders on and off. So make sure yours is on. Keep in mind that this was an update on my market, some markets don't even feature this at all but maybe that's your issue.
So many hacks, so little time. Ok. Here's one. When I have a deliveey order for "Happy Lemon" by "In N' Out," I know a place to park (not a parking spot" that avoids the long drive-thru line entirely. 😁 Blackball any restaurant where workers are slow and consistently don't give a shite.
Doordash is working feverishly to replace drivers with automation. The ONLY thing businesses care about is maximizing profits.
I would agree most businesses are looking at the bottom line, that’s business. As far as automation we’ll watch this closely. I’m watching Photoshop’s generative AI for example and seeing the talk about what that’ll do to creatives.
unless self driving cars figure themselves out, my market is automation proof at least for now. its so rural those goofy lil doordash cooler sized drones couldnt go no where here. heck id pay good money just to see if get down half the dirt roads here n not get stuck.
Ima at 82% accepting
I was making 35 to 45 a delivery as a top Dasher in Palm Beach and fort Lauderdale found out a put my account on 2.25 and put notes under my account not to allow me to make no more than 15 dollars. Everywhere I go they say it's not busy and they send me into glass and nails and they steal my money they drive me far away for less money. It's racist AF and unfair
It's not racism lmao
@@silaaron76 yes it is. All those apps are racist. But nobody cares. I don't work for the apps 🚮
If I don't add a picture of a pizza bag on my app will I not get orders from resturants that need them
What id like to know to
If you don't take a picture of your pizza bag you will NOT get pizza orders thus limiting yourself on delivery opportunities. I know this because I wasn't getting pizza delivery orders and checked my settings and it said I needed to verify my pizza bag and take a photo of it (even though I already had it verified??)once I did that I started getting pizza orders.
@@user-xm1ww5pv6j depends on the market, in my area i get pizza offers constantly, and get to deliver them even tho i dont have a verified pizza bag.
Desperately need your help: Listen to this...an uber customer service representative is trying to get me kicked off the platform. After speaking with them yesterday my account was suddenly hit with 25 merchant complaints within 30 minutes. I went from a 100% rating to 75%. Over 2600 deliveries with no merchant complaints previously. Also they sent me a warning of reports of others using my account threatening deactivation for it. I'd be happy to elaborate further or even do a zoom call with you. It's a crazy story and I think I'm gonna get deactivated any moment.
Doordash earning a statements never matches my earnings and statements how is that
Lost top Dasher due to them changing the rules and making it 70% of acceptance
its there 2nd priority
Maybe keep a separate active account on another phone to see the busy zones - and to determine to call that "audible" to end your dash and re-start in the new zone?
How to get out of the waiting list from door dash
It took me 3 years .. just be patient 😊
I didn't drive for 3 months and came back didn't get any emails notification or anything lol
I did not do it for 10 !!! So they don’t care for dang sure lollll 😂
I came back also , driving now . Just re downloaded the app and signed in and went to work 😅
When it's + 4 or 5 an hour it can be worth it, if it's busy and you're getting constant orders you're likely going to get $25 an hour unless it's taking you far out of the zone.
never seen a +4 or 5 in my area, NEVER, 3 has been the most but even that can make some crap orders more attractive.
Doordash does not care about drivers.
I think they care about dasher earnings as a collective, sure. They need to stay competitive or people will just log off and go elsewhere.
They care absolutely zero about your specific earning though.
Brutally well said haha so true
The volume of DD orders are dying in my market
Your tips have me at $40/Hr... You just gotta be a worker...
No. Not even a little
Door Dash lock me out they wanted my Drivers L. and a selfie and they’re app says the hard ware is not work try again later I did it 20 times now did call yet but. 1.80 orders ummmmm noooo not concerned about that app.
Funny how doordash pays snoop dog millions to make a 35 sec commercial but doordash doesn’t want to Pay their dasher a decent base Pay
you are selling door dash?
What is your Red Dasher card for?
Hell no because if they had the option to keep the tips they will do it no remorse
They don’t care and that’s the issue. They trying to run a profitable business without taking care of the ones who drive those funds in literally will come back to bite them in the end. Might not be for awhile but eventually they gonna feel it
Challenges? What are Challenges? Been dashing for 5 years and never seen them
❤
Never really saw them either: help.doordash.com/dashers/s/article/Dasher-Challenges?language=en_US
If a customer pays us $10 to shop 40 items that takes over 1 hour to shop and deliver should this be against labor laws because at that rate $10 per hour is not worth it crazy there should be a minimum or pay for our time in the zone I’m working they don’t offer pay by hour only peak pays
thats why the rule of thumb "dont take shop orders over 10 items" exists among drivers. the only time i will ever accept 40 item shop orders is if the payout is like 60 dollars.
Not at all
Doordash: blood suckers
These aren't hacks. They're suggestions.
Shhhhh 🤫
THEY DONT CARE AT ALL.
