Does DoorDash Acceptance Rate Matter? (5% to 100%)

[@davidpayette2348]

I have been around 25-35% acceptance rate for the last 3 months. The ONLY thing that matter in my opinion, if is your market healthy. If there's orders, Doordash will send them to you, they want their drivers to do deliveries that's what we are online for. If your market is slow and there's plenty of other dashers with better acceptance rate then yes you are screwed, they will get the orders before you.

[@bobcatwelder00]

my ratings on ubereats acceptance rate 95% cancel rate 0% and satisfaction rate 100% in 99 deliveries so far just started january door dash 4.98 customer rating 99% acceptance 100 % completion rate 96% on time 289 deliveries since dec 26. 2022

Nuggs probably makes more off a 9 minute YT video than he makes in 3 hours of DD.

[@3starperfectdeer233]

Technically you'd be correct however not in the way you think. The way YT works with revenue is CPM. He makes a certain amount of money per 1k views. Nuggs is NOT family friendly but isn't political, or mean, and doesn't curse much so he probably makes anywhere around 1-3$ per 1k views. The less he curses the better for him. Now those super kid friendly channels you see with millions of views? They make 10-20$ per 1k views. This is just to show you how much money they make for the laziest work. Oh and 10minutes is the golden Ad revenue time. That's why you see so many people setting videos between 10-11mins as they stretch out the simple topic

[@NuggsDD]

No offense but that's a pretty out of date take on how KZbin revenue works. Maybe in like 2015. Niches are incredibly important in determining CPM & RPM. Advertisers are going to pay more to be on an investing channel than to be on a kids toy channel. Cursing has little to do with RPM as well unless it's in the title. 8 minutes is the mid roll ad length as well, it used to be 10 minutes a few years ago. Niches and tags are the most important factor in determining revenue unfortunately. My RPM hovers around $10 so these videos help a little bit to counter Top Dasher money but it's not a lot haha

[@jayjaymontes9172]

It doesn’t make a difference my acceptance rate is 10% and I still get orders of $8 and up , it’s about having a good feedback rating from the customers and low cancellation rates, I still make around $600 a week part time.

[@eaglefangkarate99]

Acceptance rate does make a difference. At least In my market when you start declining low ball orders, you will no longer receive too many orders. It even said on the app that you have to have an acceptance rate of 70% or above to be prioritized to higher paying orders. Unless you have proof that acceptance rate doesn’t matter or if you have dashed in my area, then you can say so.

[@AlextheRoofer]

But do you get lots of orders during the day? Because when my rate was low I barely did 5 orders all day 😂

[@underground9260]

@@eaglefangkarate99 yeah, I live in a small town with 25K people. And when my acceptance rate was around 40-50%, I was barely getting any orders. But since it’s gone up to over 70% now, I actually get more orders. But if you live in a metropolitan area, it’s probably not going to effect you. But in small towns, it’s a killer!

[@Amorsitanan]

Ok I’m new just don’t know if it matter 😅

[@tyresesmith1207]

It matters because when I 1st started doordashing I started at a 100% I was able to get on anytime I want and every order that came out was a good one. As I started declining low ball orders, My acceptance rate was slowly going down, As soon as I dropped down to 30%, I started getting nothing but lowball orders. It would even be some days that I can't "dash now" or even get on a schedule. I remember reading something on the dasher app where it said to "Keep your acceptance rate above 50% to be prioritized for higher paying orders." I knew this way from the get-go. 😑

[@ishab745]

I've never been above 10% and I still see $30-60 orders. I think they want us to believe it holds weight but ultimately doesn't. I think this is the Algorithm #1Proximity #2 Customer Rating #3 Acceptance Rating. If tons of drivers then maybe they look at Acceptance, Customer Rating, Proximity?

[@davidpayette2348]

Proximity isn't always right. I was at Mcdonals and a dasher got an order before me and he was 2 miles from the place, the only thing he had better then me was his acceptance rate... but overall. I think you are right!

[@traviskingston4743]

Out of 305 orders I’ve only seen one single order over $20. And a good portion of that I was too dasher and the rest of it I was generally above 50%. I think my market just sucks

[@alladreamwedreamed]

Like all things, this is market dependent. In my area, being on the edge of a low income city, I get non-stop trash orders that are a fateful combination of high miles and $0-3 tips. I just refuse to go under $2/mile **including** the trip back to the zone. I used to never take anything under 6.50 even if it was low miles, but lately I've started to take some $5-6 orders if it's only going 1-2 miles. So yeah. I don't bother going for a high AR or top dasher. That would make me **lose** money doing this. So I continue to cherry pick using 6 different apps 🙃

It's not just which orders you get during peak time. It's getting orders at all during non-peak time. And it should be this way. This should be some reward for taking the moderate orders.

If you fall below 70% in an area where there are a lot of dashers.... you will not get orders. And the acceptance rating system should be a +or-1% system, not based on an algebraic SET OF NUMBERS. And if you rush and try to deliver as fast as you can, people will give you poor ratings but if you wait and you are late and inform the customer you are going to be late, doordash will delete the customer review. So you are being punished for trying to do your best. Doordash doesnt pay extra on holidays, blizzards, tornados, meteorite impacts... nothing. They dont care about you. You are replaceable. And they dont care if you or anyone else calls them out. Welcome to being poor. Where your good deeds will ALWAYS be punished, and you will NEVER get ahead.

Dude just because the market you are in is complete shit does not mean it applies to the rest of us. There are orders I have seen that were straight shit routed to the person standing directly next to me that I never saw as a top dasher. I can save you time. The per mile average in my area for Top Dasher orders before I see them is between $1.10 and $1.18. I RARELY out of 1,300 order see anything where the pay is not higher than the mileage. Doordash does have jokes because they consider stuff like $2.75 for 1 mile to meet what I just typed. Also you leave out the biggest factor of how many of your videos got cut short because you could not even log in when you wanted too. Some of us are doing Top Dasher because of the schedule flexibility it gives in our markets. It is a heavily flawed program without a doubt in need of severe improvements but in some markets it is worth it.

[@AuntieDasher]

I found out personally Nuggs in my market anyway on my app I don't know if yours is different or not but for each order that you accept on doordash you're acceptance rate goes up one point AKA 1%. In order to reach your goal of 100% acceptance rating that means that you would have to accept 95 orders in order to get to 100% acceptance rating if my calculations are correct in your market.

[@jimbojimbob6363]

It doesn't work that way or would be equal drop to rise in acceptance rate, the other day starting at 54% acceptance I accepted 8 deliveries in a row and was still at 54% acceptance like I started then rejected 1 and my rate dropped to 53% ..... only explanation for that is DD is screwing drivers for rejecting orders. Your rate should drop at same as it climbs, ie it should not have dropped till I rejected 8 in a row as I had just accepted 8 in a row and it didn't go up but 1 rejection and drops instantly.

Depends how many orders you take in one day. It's all about math. It's based on the last 100 orders only. If 100 orders ago you declined 10 orders in a row. Then you only need to accept an orders to raise it by 10 points.
