[@lapompeii720]

Before you accept an order, you only know which restaurant you're going to. The app doesn't even give you the customer's delivery address until after you've accepted and picked up the order from the restaurant. At least that's been my experience, so kind of confused as how you know your delivery distance beforehand to even be able to decline an order in the first place. 🤔

Doordash tells u total miles from picking till drop off

[@kellyclark7517]

La Pompeii EXACTLY! I’m lost...

[@Therideshareguy]

Good tips! I don't think many drivers take advantage of the long ping time from Doordash. It's long enough for you to actually decide from a mileage perspective if a trip is worth doing or not.

[@FeckAO3]

The reason you're not seeing a lot of tips is because door dash has been stealing them (allegedly) there's a lawsuit in progress regarding it.

[@Gignation]

It’s in the fine print of the contract. The delivery minimum is $1 and payment above that is supplemented by your tips

[@FeckAO3]

@@Gignation all tips should go to the driver. Everyone driving for doordash is being cheated and it's not right. When someone is ordering and wants to tip the driver ahead of time $5 but the total going to the driver would be about $8 with or without the tip, that means that they are taking it from the drivers and it's just not right. So many drivers and customer of doordash are pissed about this. I've never even ordered from doordash, or worked for them but I'm pissed also. I thought about working for them but I won't until this dumb stuff gets figured out. I don't want to work for a company that's trying to do anything to save a buck for themselves. If they don't change to keep their drivers happy, they will have no business.

[@mouseymeander]

Fun trick I've used to maintain the surge pricing: ending your dash resets the %. I.e., if you end dash after each delivery, it cashes out the surge there. Then, if you get an order you don't like, refuse, end dash, start dash, and now you have a clean slate again. I generally only end after every 2, so I can't say this works for 1 delivery per

[@Gignation]

Nice. Used to use that a lot as well, after each dash during surge. Only issues is sometimes you can’t start dashing again because there are limited spaces. Also, DD almost always throws a delivery I don’t want as I’m trying to end dash... if I reject I don’t get surge

[@asiangirl0039]

I've done that as well but sometimes it backfires. Depends on the area and if there are a lot of drivers you can't get back in to dash.

[@MikieBLEST]

Good video bro. Thank you

[@coolmom6155]

You are so honest and I completely agree with you . I had problem to find some apartment at night . I wish customer understand to come to the street and get their order . I prefer to pay cash to doordash because I worked as a driver and I was really happy 😃

[@UrbanNestingwithMichelle]

Yes your video was really informative and I learned a few extra tips. Today is my third day Door Dashing and I've had nothing but apartments and it's been a nuisance trying to find the customer's apartments. And I had accepted runs they were extra miles out of my way, even though I completed the food run, I definitely know now to "monitor" and be "picky" with my trips. Believe me I was really upset at myself doing that long a## run!!!...LOL..

Lol yea it can be frustrating, sure it will get better for ya!

[@sandramitchell2956]

Your video is the only ONE have seen so far with soome TRUTH and the tips you gave are SPOT ON. Yes you are perfectly doing this delivery is fun and a good way to earn extra cash, which why i take major issues with DOORDASH ripping folks off when they are only trying to make a few extra dollars. Yes.... you are so right on folks killing themselves to keep that rate up not realizing that it is not profitable for them and they are actually loosing.

[@Thinkforyourselves64]

Can’t we just write down our mileage each day on paper??

[@redalphapills]

Great video bro

[@ewalker1057]

Excellent advice for new drivers. You are right about that surge bonus tip. I ended up making less one lunch than I normally did trying to do the 80%. Even with the $1.50 bonus, I made about $20 less on that dash. I schedule for that day and time every week because it is always busy. My acceptance rate stayed around 95% to 97%. I noticed I started getting low paying long distance deliveries. Started declining. I do receive tips especially in certain areas.

[@Gignation]

Thanks for the input, how often are you seeing tips?

[@ewalker1057]

[@Gignation]

Thanks 🙏 Downtown is always crazy lol

[@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484]

How do you take a order by mistake? You have customers name on app and a list of items you check off and then you check the food again with restaurant rep before you leave to make sure its all there...95 percent of the time the order is not complete so make them check it with you as you cannot open containers they have to

You can't get an order from other branch. If that branch is located at the mall then you can't get the order from other branch.

Interesting facts I do Postmates and Fast food and some coffee house Like Starbucks you also has to order, They used to let you go to the nearest one but that has now change, forcing you to go to the exact location by not letting you progress through until You are close to the the location,

[@Gignation]

Yea they’ve made those changes on all apps now as far as I know

[@shawnwilliams399]

Great tips.I have been driving for door dash a few months. Learned all those things the hard way. Would also add if your area has Walmart grocery orders. Normally not worth accepting. Can be a lot work delivering a large order for the same pay out as a fast food order or maybe a buck or two more.

[@Gignation]

Thanks haven’t taken any Walmart orders yet, will avoid.

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

Yup, especially to these lazy apartment customers.

[@AmoretheFace]

Yea i had one pop up for walmart like $4 & change for over 40 items. I declined!!

[@Dottz58]

Yes!! Decline those orders !! I accepted a grocery pickup order one time and it was a nightmare. Only paid $8 and had to carry a million groceries to the customer which was literally like 6 trips back and forth to my car to hand him his items.

[@wueskew169]

Xlnt vid. Doordash is a good side hustle if managed right. For example, I don't accept orders that will pay me less than $2 per mile driven. I also will not accept no-tip orders. I feel disrespected when a customer is unwilling to pay a tip. I multi-app between Doordash and Uber Eats. I also multi-app between Uber-X and Lyft. Thus, each day I have three apps running (Doordash, Uber, and Lyft). I accept some Shop & Deliver orders, but only if I'm familiar with the layout of the store and the item count is relatively low. For example, Walmart is a NO GO for me because I don't shop there, thus I don't know the layout, and the shopping list is often quite long.

[@Jazzywazz]

Lol at the grubhub add on a doordash video! Too funny

[@locafly]

I live at the DMV. For those of you who don’t know that stands for DCA Southern Maryland in Northern Virginia area. I actually live in Alexandria Virginia which is like depending on where you are pretty much like 10 minutes from DC so I do you make money and I have been doing door Dash since the beginning of 2016 Yes it is best to know your best location and times you also have to know that when it’s raining over here on the East Coast, (a lot of people will not go out) When it’s extremely hot, or really cold. Those are the best times to Dash I feel everywhere in the United States. I don’t like the fact that DoorDash switch their customer service reps over to foreign countries. I like before when it was easier to contact Arash and then let you know what place you are in queue and you get someone who’s American I can understand I don’t appreciate them using people in the Philippines or in India that I have no idea what the hell they’re saying.

If it’s busy and you are waiting for 30 minutes (buffalo wild wings, Cheesecake Factory) you just lost out on two deliveries

It doesnt seem to even pay enough to cover your gas. Am i doing something wrong ? Any gig i click on the map they all seem to pay very very little.

So yeah totally sucked just doing doordash so I have uber in the mix now. Honestly been relying on uber more than doordash and just doordashing when uber isn't busy. I don't like the in and out of my car repetition of doordash. I almost wish there was an app that did nothing but fastfood delivery. In my experience so far it seems restaurants are the worst ones to take. I spent an hour and a half on one delivery one day. Didn't know to call the order in ahead of time. I dont feel like that should be on the driver. Then to top it off the gps sent me to a location where I couldn't actually get to the address.

As soon as I got there I went straight to the cash register, got the attention of someone and said I had an order for DoorDash. The guy didn't say anything, held up 1 finger as in wait a minute.

Try using the satellite google maps it's sometimes more accurate and always compare your location to the dash map at arrival. If in doubt don't wait time just call the customer for clarification.

[@BLUNTDEZ101]

I hate working downtown!!! I feel like it’s such a risk to get into an accident. And I had several orders from a McDonald’s at a Walmart I hate those learned how to spot them and decline them.

[@BLUNTDEZ101]

Ps. You’re videos have been the most helpful to me.

Yea downtown is crazy lol. Thanks for the support 🙏

[@Timbodacious]

yup, gotta learn to avoid red card orders from little ceasars on friday nights, avoid black angus friday sat sun night, chillis, any major name restaurant that you know will be busy on weekend nights.)

[@cryptogaming6266]

I get 8-15 in doordash

[@KennTollens]

What do you do if the customer reports an item missing? I went back to the place because the customer was missing her small side salad, and she lived way out in BFE. Another time, a customer was missing a sprite. I never went back for it. I really don't want to open food to look at it. Unpack the whole bag of food and open the wrapper to see is not something I would ever do. However, I had one restaurant really wanted to make sure the items were there, he opened the box and put his fingers right on the eggs, your eggs are here, then picked up the sausage with his bare hands to show me, nasty lol.

[@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484]

You never go back to pick up a item..the customer handles that thru Dd app..they give them a customer credit or choice of another driver to bring the rest..your card is only authorized per order and nothing more..you can get fired for that...I have a vlog about this

[@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484]

You must check your order with a restaurant rep before you leave if you don't its your fault the order was wrong

[@KennTollens]

@@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484 Good to know. Worked all week and ended up at a loss overall. I can't pay money to drive for Door Dash. I gave customer service the details to send up the line, but I don't think they care. Today worked 6 hours, got 4 orders, made $35, gas costed me $40. So that will be the last attempt for me.

@@KennTollens your fuel is a tax write off ..sitting in drive thru burns the devil out of your gas ..never use drive thru.. Next look at mileage of order before you accept...you should be getting at least 1.00 per mile or do not take that order..when you get really good you get tips on app and cash tips at delivery too.. The money can be fantastic if you do it right

[@KennTollens]

@@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484 I had 1 cash tip the whole week, had to drive 20 minutes one way on the highway for 6.50 order, then another 15 minutes to the house. Got a $2 tip out of it. My other problem is that I get 5 orders in 6 hours. I can't pass up an order.

I had 7 drinks today, even with the carry case, how do you keep them from spilling?

[@tiggermeowth]

Kenn Tollens I have another insulated bag, and in it I put the beverage holder that you get from Taco Bell or Mc Donald’s, and since those holders carry 4 drinks, it comes very handy.

The only problem with delivering on college campuses is that the students tend to live in apartments which are very hard to find especially at night. Please also note that the Doordash app has a hard time with the Partman complexes

Great point

Do I still need a mileage tracker app if I’m only doing it part time? My goal is to make 100$-150$ a week. Is a mileage tracker still needed? Thanks and great video

Thank God you're one of the few people who actually understand how the policy works for being paid I also Dash in Seattle. I don't agree with it but I read the contract and I knew what I was getting into when I signed the papers. Lot of people are pissed but it's stated in the contract what they do so people should read things before they sign them

[@Gignation]

Yea, very few people understand how the pay works. Crazy how few people read contracts before they agree to something!

[@racquelmarsh3568]

They actually do track ur miles u have to login to ur acc via a desktop browser

Racquel Marsh that’s good for taxes as well

[@jasonlisonbee]

Firefox for Android gives the option of requesting the desktop version of web sites. Maybe other mobile browsers do. Would that work?

[@ceejluige4816]

So I have a quick question. I signed up online only having to provide my personal information for a background check. They delivered the set up kid in two days, but it’s been almost a week and a half now and I still haven’t gotten a welcome email. I DLed the app like the kit said, but once I signed in, the first thing it wants me to do is activate the red card. I put in the info it requests and it tells me that authentication information is not provided. I read online that I have to wait for this welcome email, but as I said, it’s been almost a week and a half and no email as been sent. Is there something I’m failing to do, or do I just have to keep waiting??

[@Gignation]

Is double check your card info was entered correctly. Also possible that they have put you on wait temporarily, summer months are slow for these services

[@ceejluige4816]

Yeah, the info is correct. I’ve tried everyday since I got the kit. But that does make sense that I might be on a wait. I work for grubhub also and can attest to the fact that summer months are slower. I didn’t really consider that. Thanks!

What sign up bonus?

[@Gignation]

They offer it during busy times of the year

[@okwui04]

You prefer stride over everlance? And why?

[@Gignation]

Can’t weigh in on that I’ve only used QB self employed for mileage bc I need it for accounting also. Recommended stride bc it’s free, do you use everlance?

[@duncanhorn5087]

I just started using the free Stride Tax and the biggest positive I have experience compared to IQ mileage, Everlance and Triplog is that it batches all of my deliveries into one file for each Dash session. The others required me to classify each start and stop trip as business or not...a constant annoyance when all of these individual stops and trips are business when I am dashing for hours at a time. You can also link to your bank account to import Dash related expenses and your income to create one tax filing at the end of the year.

[@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484]

I keep a lot book and receipts and do my taxes quarterly using a c.p.a. I have a vlog about this

[@nowzthetime]

Doordash does track your mileage, its in the stats section of driver.doordash.com

[@Gignation]

Thanks

[@KILRtv]

Good video. I track my miles manually on an Excel spreadsheet, because my wife uses the car for work. Another thing to point out are the bonus times. If you want the bonus, you have to do every order. You would have to do 10 and miss one in order to get 90%, which is over their required 85% minimum. Trying to do 10 within that bonus time when everyone else is going for that bonus is going to be rare or impossible. If you can only do 9 orders or less and miss just one order, then you are already under that required 85% and will lose the bonus. Something else that I still haven't seen covered in KZbin videos are "what if" scenarios when it comes to a signature (for grocery deliveries, aka Walmart). If the actual customer isn't available, can the husband or someone else sign for it? Would you just put in the comments of the delivery who signed it if it was someone different? Otherwise, what could you do? You can't unassign it once you've picked it up, you probably don't want to keep it all, and taking it back to the store would be ridiculous. Plus, you have a serious risk of getting a 1 Star rating, which will drag your overall rating down which gets you closer to deactivation. I know you could just refuse them, but there are people who are disabled that are looking for someone to bring those groceries to them.

[@adielgonzalez5286]

Ur thinking too much If ur trying to get the bonus then end ur dash and waaa laaa u get 100% acceptance Do that every time and ur good For tge signature just get the person from the address to sign it it doesn’t matter thats where the person ordered the groceries too.

[@KILRtv]

@@adielgonzalez5286 , I've ended dashes early to maintain that 100% recently, because of one order that was a bit of a nightmare because the business didn't have the specific item they wanted, I couldn't get a hold of the customer, and I drove out to him to find out what else I could get. It was either that or lose $30 worth of bonuses.

[@america1403]

You do not have to do 10 deliveries to get the 100% bonus... I accepted 4 out of 5 orders and still made the required 80% acceptance... you can also do 1 out of 1 for 100% or 2 out of 2 for 100% or 3 out of 3 for 100% and so on... or you can do 4 out of 5 for the required 80%...

[@hillbillyridesharedriver5458]

I'm liking DoorDash too. But be mindful of acceptance rate. During peak pay.

[@Timbodacious]

deny anything and everything that is less than $5.00 for 3 miles. forget about peak pay accepting all deliveries. you make more that way

[@hillbillyridesharedriver5458]

@@Timbodacious yeah, I'm not taking anything under $5 unless Im literally at the restaurant already. Accepting low pay is how they get away with it.
