Any idea how I can get DD know that the app is not allowing to work my home town and surrounding area including six other towns and villages??? The Phillipino outsource team and supervisors are inept, ignorant, and unequipped to help even though it's a known issue involving other dashers. Anyone have a workaround as I've tried all the troubleshooting tips and the problem is on the programming side?

Wow, after almost 8K deliveries, I just had something happen for the 1st time. A customer chose "hand it to me" in the app but in the comments typed "leave it at the door". So I left it at the door, but still took a photo of it. Later found out the customer lied and reported it as "undelivered" even though he had exited his house and grabbed it. I had plenty of photo evidence along with a good explanation and Doordash did not penalize me in any way. Customers who abuse the system in this way should also be deactivated and not allowed to order anymore! Some people are such slimeballs.

Wow. I guess it's more common than I thought. Since the in-app photo step doesn't pop up when someone chooses "hand it to customer", I'm going to advise to take a photo of it with your phone and keep it in your camera roll for a while in case you have to send it to Doordash, which is what I did. And to their credit, the 3 times I've dealt with customer discrepancies via email, Doordash has been extremely reasonable and helpful to me. I'm sure having 8,000+ deliveries with sky-high stats helps with that also.

You are 100% right about not needlessly communicating with customers. I would say 95%+ use the app specifically because they want as little human interaction possible to get their food. Especially the 30 and under age range. I am a delivery ninja, a ghost in the machine. I wont contact a customer unless I absolutely cannot find their residence and that is super rare in my market. I know some dashers think sending updates and even memes is being nice and "customer service", but DD customers dont want all those needless alerts. They want their food, not a jolly chat.

I've done 7,300 deliveries in the last 2 and a half years, and what I've come to realize is that the business is drastically different when comparing urban/metro areas to the suburbs. Variations in population and order density requires that you change your strategy based on where you are. Advice you hear may be from someone who does it in a different type of area, so don't be surprised if you don't get the same results.

I'm in Fort Worth, TX. I try to stick to the central city (areas adjacent to downtown), mainly because I tend to get more orders there. I usually only dash in downtown Fort Worth itself on weekends or weekdays after 6pm, because parking is free at those times. I've done a few orders that have taken me far out of my zone, especially on the occasion that I get a $20+ order. I've also got some good-paying orders especially when DoorDash runs promotions in the suburbs; normally suburbs involve more driving, although drop-off is easier compared to the greater probability of dealing with apartments, condos, and hotels in the central city.

In some places, it is absolutely worth it to be a top dasher. It really depends on your market and if you are constantly thrown bad orders. I make about $150 a day 7 days a week with just doordash. I do lunch from 9:30am to 11:30am and then I go out for dinner from 5:30pm to 11:30pm. Sometimes I hit my $150 mark a lot sooner and head home earlier, but that is usually the average. I do notice a difference with the top dasher, it is better here for sure. But that is not the case everywhere. The best thing you can do to make the most money with Doordash or uber or whatever is to keep trying different things and accept that it will not be steady all of the time but by the end of the week/month it will balance out pretty much every time.

I’ve dashed for a total of 4 hours 30 minutes and got 110 so far. Definitely because I was on the “accept every order” flow and because I thought top dasher gives you perks (only need 70% to stay a top dasher) but now I’m going to only accept good orders. Thought this to myself today after I handed off a chipotle delivery to this rude customer who didn’t tip me and I only made 5 bucks off the 3 mile drive… seriously I get it that times are tough and people have less disposable income to spend but come on…… you wouldn’t not tip at a dine in restaurant why wouldn’t you tip the guy who went out of his way to deliver the food to you…. On the other hand, I got a 14 dollar delivery with a 9.50 tip which was definitely nice. For anyone wondering I’m in Jersey - the average hourly drive pay is $25-$26 an hour. I literally live right around the corner from a busy highway with every single restaurant fast food and otherwise. Why wouldn’t I dash?

i've seen that ppl who want to communicate are just needy and give more tasks and don't give any more money than what the offer originally said. i'd rather just just pick up the food and deliver it and not do "customer service". if the customer has special requests, they should include them in "special requests" for the restaurant when they place their order in the app. if the restaurant doesn't offer "special requests" in the app then they should just pick a diff restaurant or do without whatever their special request is... as someone who orders food from dd a lot, if i have a special request and restaurant doesnt allow in the app to provide additional requests, i don't order from that restaurant using dd. and i've been doing this before i ever started dashing bc it just seemed like the right move to me bc trying to give extra tasks to the dasher when the dasher's job is just to pick up and deliver didn't seem right to me. special requests should be between the restaurant and the customer, not the person delivering the food

I am relatively new to DD, with only 129 deliveries so far. I have been turning down offers which amount to $1/mile or less, and for the most part most of the orders that roll in are between $5 and $8. I have been using the 'distance is too far' as the reason for declining, as I'm trying to get the app to stop giving me extraordinarily long delivery orders. Based on your advice, I'll start using the small order for the small orders. I seem to be averaging about $20-23/hr so far so perhaps I'm not doing too horribly.

BIGGEST thing for my girlfriend and I has and will probably continue to be establishing a relationship with the stores in your zone. Know which stores have crew, don't have crew, which crews are efficient, which crews are inefficient, etc... like you mention... though, I'd stress this is THE most important thing We used to go to 15-20 different stores per shift...now we probably bounce between 7-10 at most. Started around 15-18/hr in Ohio, we are up to 22-25/hr. Shit can still hit the fan, and doing things like taking chances on the night shift can sometimes mean 2/1's all night at taco bell, or sitting for 20 minutes to get a single order at the same taco bell. All depends on your zone and understanding the eb-n-flow.

On communicating with customer. If it is a "hand it to me" order. Text your customer when you leave the resturant. Let them know you are on the way. If customer is not there for hand off you will have to wait 5 minutes before Doordash will allow you leave it at the door. You just lost $3 waiting that 5 minites. When you arrive go ahead and hit the "cannot hand to customer" button to start the 5 minute timer.

One thing I can recommend from experience, in the beginning, focus more on how many hours you can work in total take-home per day. I wouldn't recommend starting out worrying about how much you're making per hour. Learn from your experience and tailor your strategy based on where you are. That helped me go from 15 to 25 dollars an hour. When I do it in my spare time, I average between 25 to 35.

Biggest tip - get to Platinum as fast as possible. Accept almost every order until you do. Smaller is better. The only orders you want to decline are those which take you well out of your zone, unless it's to a better zone that's busy. Once you're Platinum status, make sure you stay there. You won't see that many orders at $2/mile. $1+/mile is my benchmark, but that varies according to how busy it is. You won't get rich doing this, but it helps to get by in a pinch.

My area is kinda slow when I’m available for doordash. I have a main job and do this as a side gig. I was only active for 6 hours and 41 minutes. Made $154.96. I live in a farming state with lots of dead zones. Most of my state isn’t even set up for doordash, yet. But it’s coming. At least that’s what the app says. It has a ton of zones in other parts of my state, but it says coming soon on most of them with a date. I will agree with your advice. But seeing orders that high are rare in my state. Just a lot of low orders going very short distances. I did do a pharmacy one today. That was new to me.

Communication is always the key to success so having that with a customer is always the right route to go which you learn in customer service and retail that I learned in 15 yrs and it still applies whenever I do Uber/Uber eats. Door dash is new to me where I’m still learning the ropes from watching your videos about it but no disrespect, it’s good to have communication with your customers regarding their food and any type of situation you’re having with the order by being at the restaurant where it might not be ready, just getting started, etc. remember that. Plus you get good tips and somewhat rewards on your app by being somewhat of the peoples champion by your Reputation.

Alright, for me, I am a full time graduate student working on my Masters in Economics (all online), working full time in a warehouse (roughly 48hrs a week). Now I don't have much time to door dash as much, but even just making a hundred or two hundred from a night of driving is useful but without more time driving the numbers would be difficult to multiply. For now it helps pay for gas, food, minor bills, minor savings, etc. I guess like most markets some places will be able to make more using door dash while others will make less. Economic ebs and flows are variable throughout all market systems, as is compensation for various lines of work. I just started dashing a few weeks ago on the side and I highly recommend it to any college students or homeowners who need some extra money. Good video.

I'm currently doing DoorDash and UberEats simultaneously. It's been alright so far, but I have two problems that I need to work out that are keeping me from making the most money I can. My first problem is taking good dollar per mile orders but having them take me way out of the hot zones (near restaurants), and end up wasting way more gas then I would have if I just waited for an order that stayed within the area. Which wasting gas is kind of serious when you're doing it in a V8 that only gets 17 MPG city. Yes, I use my Mustang as a delivery car. Hate me later. It's the only car I have, and getting even a "cheap beater" ain't cheap these days with inflation. So I'm working with what I got. Anyways... I get kind of scared that if I don't accept a $10 - $15 order another one isn't going to come for a while. So if it's above $1.50 per mile, I'll usually go for it. Just need to get out of that habit, go where there's more restaurants, and take some of the lower paying orders if it means staying in a hot area that's going to keep producing orders. And my second problem is customer and support communication. If there's traffic, if a restaurant is slow, if directions got messed up, or if I mess something up I tend to be bad about contacting the costumer and letting them know exactly what's happening. I try to let everyone know the ETA and often times apologize if I'm running late, but tend to focus more on just getting to them as quickly as possible without updating on WHY it took an extra 10-15 minutes to get them their order. This is especially important on UberEats, because customers can CHANGE A TIP up to AN HOUR AFTER delivery! Now even worse then that, because this one got me a contract violation on DoorDash, I am really bad about letting customer support know WHY I'm running late or really if anything happened at all. I guess it's my selfish and arrogant nature of wanting to do it on my own, but it's very important to let them know when something goes wrong, because it can cost you your job if you don't. Being late by 20 minutes without letting anyone know why is serious grounds for a contract violations that COULD lead to deactivation. I'm learning this the hard way. Hopefully I can work these things out and start making decent money doing this. Because there is really NO GOOD WORK IN NASHVILLE, unless you've got a degree in tech or medicine. Which is seriously sad. The lack of opportunity out here is absurd, and I don't understand why everyone is moving here.

I never write to anyone. I usually have 100 percent rating. It's not about what you do. It's about if your customer is an ass. You can't really help that. Sadly about the miles taking you out of the zone.. and the customers being difficult. It's all about where you live. That is it. I've traveled the country doing this. Every place is different. Every state, every city. Rich people tip more and never complain. Only poor people bitch about food. Only poor people get upset. Rich people don't care. They don't have anxiety about every dollar and every minute.

unless the order is over like 100 bucks and it's looking like it'll be a good tip don't ever wait at a restaurant more than 5-10 minutes, just unassign yourself from the order. if you walk into a chipotle or something and there are more than 2-3 drivers standing by the pickup rack waiting just turn right back around and leave, you'll get another order soon enough that might even be better than whatever that one was. as long as your completion rate doesn't go below 80 you're fine. you don't get paid to wait, so don't do it unless you know it's going to be worth it. between doing this and delivering pizza for many years I've learned that most customers don't actually pay attention to the time it's taking and have no idea if something is late until you tell them, so I just don't

In big, dense cities, people there often like the interaction. On Uber Eats, my lowest ranked stat is "communication". At least for people staying in hotels, and if the food has to be left in the lobby, the people being from out of town appreciate a heads up text. Just one example. If delivering to a mansion, like in the San Francisco Seacliff or Pacific Heights, that's when a text or call will not benefit much in way of getting a tip or good feedback, as the customer is more likely to want to remain anonymous for safety reasons or whatever, who knows.

I work in BFE and the only orders I get out here are all under $10 (This list is for people who don't live in cities) Rules I follow: -Decline Orders that pay less than the miles you travel (eg. $5.75 for 9 miles = decline) -Decline batch orders unless customers live less than 10 minutes apart from each other -Always dash during the night, you get more orders, no traffic, and depending when and the day up to +$3 per order -Schedule a dash for longer times, you'll get more orders (besides If you ever want to or need to stop you can always end a dash early) (This one is for fun but bring a friend or family member to keep you company) (Now some of you might disagree with this list but these rules are ones that I follow that help me earn more where I live, now if you live in the big city I recommend disregarding some of these)

Thanks for the tips. I just signed up for Door Dash tonight and Uber Eats last night. Got to do my very first run today, and it could have gone better, but I think your insight will really help me with both companies.

@BestDasherAlive I got to go with Uber Eats. While Door Dash was more popular, it is no longer, plus Uber Eats can be logged onto anytime. Door Dash, one has to schedule a time days in advance, which, in my personal experience, often is no longer convenient due to personal schedule changes. Now, if you want to make serious money, the more time-consuming but less wear'n'tear on the car option, InstaCart is currently the best choice.

taking the number of items into account, and the cost of the average meal at a restaurant, is the best way to predict hidden tips. for instance, many pizzas from the nicest pizza place around means a party, and the tip will be there, because they want it on time, and they dont want to disappoint the gueests.

My one big tip: don't be discouraged if you don't bank. At the end of the day you need orders to come in to make money; if they don't come in there's nothing you can do. Uber Eats and Doordash are a lot like fishing: you have to be patient and accept the slow times as part of the game. I have my earnings goal and work when I can throughout the week to make the goal. If I make it, awesome. If I go over my goal, even more awesome. If I don't, then no big deal; as long as you net positive after gas you won imo.

Popeyes always gives me free food at closing when picking up orders. Plus usually get a good tip from people at hotels during that time. So check the location of delivery. Also ask the customer in text, if they want anything else. A lot of times they’ll pay you under the table for a six pack or whatever. Cause they’re jet lagged or just exhausted. And usually get awesome tips, even with just being overly considerate of them.

In my experience, if I don't pay attention to my acceptance rate I will lose my top dasher status. If I lose that, I will only be able to dash during scheduled times. Those are usually very hard to get signed up for since they are all taken by other dashers. If you are dashing in a small city , there are less deliveries to go around.

This is a great video very good info Area is a HUGE factor folks try to go to a wealthy area or an area with expensive restaurants like he said. I have a few areas near me that are super wealthy people and really nice restaurants that are pretty expensive all the restaurants are really close to eachother. My point is if you live in an area that kinda sucks it is probably worth it to drive 20,30 or more miles to a nicer area. Also college towns or areas are decent money many times as well.

This is my first 2 weeks. 80 delivers made. The only thing i worry most about it is acceptance rate. I thought they would not let me receive any orders under 50%. But based of what I have seen in your video, you’ve made quite a lot of $ with a very short acceptance rate. Perhaps I should keep on declining until i get a banger $. Thanks for the advice.

To give you an idea, I dash in a slower, lower income area. I recently hit 0% acceptance rate and made $25 on 3 orders. The key is dashing in the very busy times where you’ll have lots of orders to choose from instead of sitting around waiting for orders to show up.

Hey, thank you so much for this awesome video. Have you talked about “returning to zone” stuff? I’m a new Dasher and I’m confused about this. Personally, I’d rather just dash from where I am than have to drive back to my original zone.. It would also be so cool if DoorDash created an option to deliver on one’s way back home! Can you speak to this, or tell me where I can hear/learn more, please! 🤘🏽🤟🏽

Bro I think that the acceptance rate does matter because I have noticed that when I am above 70% I get very high-paying orders in my zone, but when I stopped paying attention to the acceptance rate I noticed that every single order I was getting was far away and out of zone one after the other. So I think they do give the better orders that are close by to the people that have an acceptance rate above 70, I could be wrong but this is definitely been my experience

Not in my case. I have a high acceptance rate and still receive orders with okay payouts but have to drive 8 to 10 miles. If it's out of zone double the mileage round trip to get back to my home base. Some areas they want me to deliver to are areas where no commerce exists or just high crime areas so Dash along the way is not an option.
