DoorDash Guaranteed Hourly Pay With Earn By Time Option - Another Look - Is it worth it?

[@arkansascowboy3156]

If it’s a long trip. 6 miles or longer. Just take your time with it and build up the base pay. That way if it’s a no tip order the vase covered you. If there was a tip. Then you’re over the $14 an hr

[@NathanNephew]

earn by time almost forces you to take your time to make decent money

Thanks!!!

My area in Missouri is 12. Last few days I've tried both. Making more money on hourly and less miles

[@NathanNephew]

Oh nice! I’ve heard a couple people say this in the last couple days. Maybe I should try more

@@NathanNephew you should I'll do that again tomorrow. The orders are more back to back also

[@andywolf7663]

Since the pay by time system came out, I found that I always get $20 - $25 per hour, which is a lot here in Albuquerque. Even with people screwing you on tips, you still make way more.

[@NathanNephew]

That’s awesome! Is the base $10 or $14 an hour?

[@andywolf7663]

[@magamaga1827]

yes but how many more miles are you driving and also in a place like new york where i live they can force you to go into bad areas to deliver. too risky. no thx. i'll stick to multiapping

I'm san Antonio Bexar County i try to the first hour pay by hour I make$$12 lol ridiculous .next hour regular way 1 hour 38 dollars . Nope snake oil pay by hour . By the way 1 order from Jim's r. Dinner was 74 $ 6 nmiles and my pay was $2 lol on the pay by hour . Is to risky when some costumers have no hemphaty or apreatiation for the comfort to get your food at your door. .get your food delivered at your door is a luxury .that shut be pay fearly .

[@NathanNephew]

not good at all

[@slopotato]

$11.25 in GA. The orders show up so much quicker and the amount of junk orders, but Only end up making about $16-$18/hr because people here go out of their way to bypass the tip(like 50% of people).

[@NathanNephew]

More orders could be good during slow times, if it keeps up.

[@mrsrachels1]

It's 14$ here. Population about 67k. I tried it once last week but was kicked off. I was thinking I would try it again soon. it might work well in my area but we are fairly rural so I'm sure the miles will be high

[@NathanNephew]

Yea, it’s rough if you get a lot of high mile orders, since you can only decline 1 an hour

[@NathanNephew]

Let me know how it goes if you try again

[@billpii6314]

I would probably be kicked off after the first 10 minutes for a 2nd decline. There's a reason I have 27% acceptance rate. I'll stick to "pay by order" and keep my freedom to decline or accept.

that's not a bad shift at all. It really does depend on what orders you're lucky enough to be given.

hourly pay in my area is a whole whopping 10.25 not willing to try it honestly

[@NathanNephew]

yea... that's tough to see how it could be worth it

[@thegamephilosopher2214]

10.75 in my area I suspect that they're basically only doing this because of people who have the good sense to deny orders that would not pay for a gallon of gas at least. I think that there are advantages to it ,like if its not a busy day out...but it makes sense why from a corporate standpoint. It is a good way to motivate us to take the crappy orders, which helps get more efficient service for people who do not dash, but order from the app. Personally, I have just started with the. hourly pay method and I haven't gone out enough to see if I like it or not. Tonight, I made ten dollars less than I would going the same amount of time with the more traditional Doordash method.

[@NathanNephew]

Yea, I can understand WHY they do it and I think it’s better than adding an acceptance requirement overall.

[@khaleelmartin6202]

Wait it seems like you’d get more money just to sit around for that Chick Fil A. If that’s the case what will stop dashers from waiting an extra 10-20 minutes in the parking lot before confirming they picked up your food?

[@NathanNephew]

As long as you’re not more than 10 minutes late and get a contract violation, I think it does incentivize slower work.

[@friedpickles342]

I'm in Cali. We have prop 22 . . I milk the clock until it's dry.

[@juliangaston]

Yeah think i said this last time this is a good way to get people to take junk orders and that probably will not work in CA as we are damn near $20 per hour minimum wage . You can toggle it on and off ? and have ya got package delivery options on DD ?

[@NathanNephew]

Yea, it basically forces you to take junk orders, but you don't know they are junk until after you complete them lol You choose whether to earn by time or by order when you start your dash. I haven't seen package delivery on DD, is that something different than Walmart orders?

[@juliangaston]

@@NathanNephew Yeah completely different it is like a return package service for customers who use fed ex usps ups etc

[@Millerparkwarrior]

Up here in my smaller market in Wisconsin the hourly base pay just started at $8 per hour. For sure won't be worth it for me even with our longer waiting times.

[@NathanNephew]

Can’t be worth it. Crazy.

@@LoveJJWiley Ayyyy we literally dash in the same town! See ya out there!

[@Millerparkwarrior]

@@LoveJJWiley Also, nothing dumb about it, this is confusing stuff, especially when we are in a small market it's really hard to figure out since a lot of creators are in larger markets. I just know ours especially has a LOT of non tipped orders so that's gonna be the brunt of these and waiting in restaurants for a half hour is worth more than 4 bucks and no tip to me so I don't think this makes sense for us.

[@LoveJJWiley]

@@Millerparkwarrior You’re AWESOME 😎

[@CMPStudios]

I think the hourly pay would be a benefit to late night Dashers when restaurant choices are limited and drive thru wait times are longest and customers don't tip and base pay is typically smaller than during the day

[@NathanNephew]

it could be reasonable in a slow market with long wait times

[@SparkyArchie]

$8 in San Antonio..... how low will it go in the next market? OUCH!

[@NathanNephew]

Yikes.

[@ilishanyc06]

Oh this is insane. I didn't know it didn't calculate dash time, waiting for an order, my active time is always way lower, so nope ,not worth it, plus mine is $8 per hr in my market, so I can sit 1 full hr, only be active 15 min with 1 order, so they'll only pay you $2 of the $8 hrly pay and whatever the tip was? Lol

[@NathanNephew]

yup.. it's only active time while picking up or delivering.

[@JirehtheGr8]

It’s 8 dollars per hour in my area

[@NathanNephew]

ouch... no way it's worth it. Is it a busy market?

[@JirehtheGr8]

@@NathanNephew I live in charlotte nc it’s pretty busy but that’s almost less than minimum wage

[@ballHand]

Just came to my market today, and it's $13 an hour of dashing time. I always go by the total time but I'm out doing delivery including the time that I'm just sitting around. And I average between $13 and $15 an hour for the total amount of time I spend out. The dashing time is usually closer to $20-$25 an hour. So I'd have to make at least an additional $7 an hour from tips to make the hourly pay worth it. And since the whole point is to get the cheap orders delivered it's very unlikely that would happen

[@ballHand]

Also when doordash says you can go straight to normal dashing after you've been kicked off the paid per hour model that isn't true. You have to reschedule a whole new shift if you're lucky enough to be able to. And considering I have to schedule my shifts a week in advance to get anything good I don't think I want to risk losing what I've already got

[@NathanNephew]

Yea, it takes away your ability to cherry pick and it’s a gamble whether you’ll get tips or not

[@NathanNephew]

Same here. I have to schedule ahead of time, so it’s risky
