DoorDash Hourly Up $15/hr After These 3 Strategic Changes

[@isaiahginder1760]

I listen to you from the beginning. You’re right. Your strategies have to change 17,000 deliveries later. You always have the best advice.

So… I have been tracking my accepts and declines. I am telling you, the numbers don’t add up. It is not the last rolling 100 orders. They are doing something weird with our numbers and scamming us.

[@madmurph13]

Are you counting stacked orders at the same time (one accept tap) as one or two plus? Dash changed that a few months ago and a lot of people missed that part. One accept or decline in a 10 stop Dicks Sporting goods only touches the AR once. Where if you get one Aldi then a second Aldi two accept taps two offers. I say this getting 80-120 orders a week so I can more easily judge when some will fall off. Yes I can back the numbers up if people don’t want to believe me. Wait till you learn your areas stop light timings. It may only be 1-2 seconds but time is money and stops avoided are gas mileage, wear and maintenance. You will subconsciously time the lights and point to the lights as they turn.

[@cw5451]

It’s not the last 100 rolling orders. It’s the last 100 OFFERS (and that includes the offers you accepted and the offers you rejected).

[@Link380090]

Are you counting unassigned offers.. they do. If it matches up to a prior accepted offer it stays the same..if it matches up to a prior decline offer it does still go up but the next time that offer matches up it will be an accepted offer

[@cw5451]

@ That makes no sense. I don’t understand what you’re saying.

[@Link380090]

​@@cw5451what part makes no sense? She's saying she tracks her offers but their not adding up. They actually do add up.. most of the time. So if she isn't adding in the unassigned offers then that's probably why she's not seeing them hit (go up) where they should be.

[@michaelbecker9044]

Platinum Is a JOKE they make you take horrible orders to keep your rating up. I was a platinum dasher for about 4 months till I couldn't take the bullshit orders anymore. I have not received a single Large order either... my acceptance is around 45% now and I'm making $25/hr or more everytime I dash...

[@sharikenny5196]

This isn't exactly true in my experience. The higher my acceptance rate, the fewer of these crap runs I see coming across my app. Yes, occasionally there will be a non-tipper in that stacked order, but if the pay fits my acceptance rules for pay per mile and estimated time to complete, I really don't care how those tips ended up in the final pay.

[@michaelbecker9044]

@sharikenny5196 I wish it was like that here, my buddies are still platinum and I am making more money per hour than them and driving less miles.

[@tdl6606]

If your AR is 80% and you decline an order, there is an 80% chance your AR will go down, if you accept an order, there is a 20% chance it will go up.

[@anotheruser8457]

Not correct. Accepting will NEVER reduce your AR. But, it may not increase it. It depends what you did 100 offers ago.

[@tdl6606]

@anotheruser8457 Exactly, it will either stay the same or go up. I never said it would go down.

[@paulettedaniel4879]

I am a new driver and I appreciate all that you share. I was not told on how this all works. I need all the help i can get. ❤

[@karensawyer3639]

Ok. Cool! I really needed to hear this. I had Platinum status for a day and lost it in another! Totally had no understanding of this. Thank you!

[@DoordashDiaries]

I’m glad I could help!!

[@greghogue9535]

Hey Bentley, I left a comment yesterday. I followed your strategy last night and it definitely works. I appreciate taking a new direction and getting my ratings up and keeping my platinum status. I’m going for 100% aloha my brother.

[@fredorta9026]

Great advice!! My buffer zone is between 89% and 96% AR.

[@BmoreAkuma]

Earn by time is not even as "bad" as folks are making it out to be. On my end, I like to hit as high as 95% in A/R. Then, I would go into EPO until I go to 85%. Despite my local market is around $15/hr for "minimum wage", my rate manages to hit around $20/hr because of the combination of multiple orders in that "hour" and the tiny amount of tips. Yes, most experiences on EBT don't tip for me, but again, those small tips, and zone exit pay add up.

[@DoordashDiaries]

Earn By Time with platinum status is the cheat code but they aren’t ready to listen to that yet!!

[@TWCAlex802]

I loved delivering in Charlotte, NC myself w/the Earn by Time pay rate of $15/hour. Mostly delivered in Uptown and the NoDa areas. Unavailable here in Boulder and Denver, CO as far as I know though.

[@BmoreAkuma]

@@DoordashDiaries When that clutch Large Order/Catering comes through, it is always a big payout.

[@Link380090]

It takes so long because you accept the majority of orders when your platinum. Days you have previously accepted everything is what your actually pushing through. (Looking at the flip side of this). Overall excellent video.. you absolutely broke it down and nailed it. Completion points go back up after that order you unassigned hits 100th order after it.

[@christianthames2302]

I have 81 deliveries and was 61%. Accepted 4 orders and it only went up 1%. When I'm under 100 deliveries, each one should be at least a point.

[@RcDriftIN]

@@christianthames2302 no that’s not how it works. They start you out at 100% if you decline your first order you go down to 99% they are giving you freebies from the jump so no matter what you will always be going down by 1% per order denied in the beginning. If you deny your first order you will have to wait 100 orders for that first order to fall off.

[@TanksFunnyAndZanyChannel-cw5ce]

Been platinum status for over 2 months. It seems there are others better than me. I’ve been only getting fast food orders. The restaurant orders now are lesser than when I was starting out on gold status. Maybe I should go back to gold status.

[@Theonenottoplaywith]

No, I agree with you about what you were saying but the only problem I have that I hear what happens to me. They will send me an order and I declined. OK why you send me the same exact order that I just declined twice and now you want to take my points down, so what I do I turn the app off on pause for about five minutes so that order can go to somebody else. I feel like you charging me on the points if I already declined you send it to me again. I declined it again. you keep making my points drop.❤❤❤

[@deniehowie1499]

I think that's bullsh/#, I get pissed when that happens. That's not fair at all. Double jeopardy 😂

[@jdrems4580]

Thank you for your terminology, thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Im very appreciative of you for showing me how to play the game. I’ve started watching your videos and I’ve started from the very beginning.

[@LindaE-we5pz]

I get it!!! but you do have to stay on top of it every day that you are rolling!! Tracking is key to maintaining that pad especially if you have to take off a day or more. You right it’s a game and knowing the rules essential. Toledo platinum driver.

[@videogamerbrett480]

AR rating is SIMPLE ppl ! If it's a rolling 100....... when u hit decline on a order your rating will only drop if you replace a accepted order with a decline. And your acceptance rate will only go up if replace a declined order for an accept. You have to wait a hundred deliveries in order to replace that number. It's not a percentage. And occasionally we get ghost orders.

[@sharikenny5196]

love these newest rules for handling the current system and stay in Platinum. Sadly, I don't have earn by the hour in my region yet, so rinsing is VERY hard...but I still am staying in platinum with little effort with the other 3 rules.

[@foldormanup]

Real advice coming your way. If you are going to suffer on EBT to bring up your AR to 80%, then why not suffer a little bit more and get it up to 100%? Then cherry pick from 100 down to 95%. Then do earn by time until you reach 100%. Wash, rinse and repeat.

[@RcDriftIN]

@@foldormanup it takes some people days and days to do 20 orders

[@CaF420AllDaY]

Bro great tips! Just love the rain in the background boss

[@TWCAlex802]

The law of large numbers may also have something to do w/few bad ratings having a more detrimental effect on an overall rating than the same number of positive ratings. Same applies to UE

[@DarrenWorldW1de]

Great advice as always 💪🏼 NOTE: When you do a lot of EBT over a few shifts keep in mind that when you go back to EPO you can expect your AR to go down with pretty much every decline. To help balance things out I make sure to decline 2 out of 10 offers when doing EPO. That way when I go back to EBT I know my AR will go up. TLDR: If you do a lot of EBT, be sure to sprinkle in some declines on the days you do EPO. 💪🏼

[@tynia305]

[@sundaydrive9]

Step 1: start earn by time. Step 2: accept BWW order. Step 3: wait 45 minutes for order that hasn't started being made while getting paid.

[@Totandher4kids]

2:29 they definitely changed this in the last 6 months to a year.. you use to be able to decline maybe 2-3 orders before you dropped a point in your acceptance rate bit now you drop a point per decline 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@vikings7683]

In the four yrs I have been dashing, it has always been the same. Never have I seen you being able to decline 2 or 3 and only lose 1 point (%) Now about a yr ago, they would send you a stack of 5 to 9 orders, and if you declined it would drop you for all orders (so 5 to 9%). Now if they send you a multiple stacked orders, it only counts as 1 decline.

[@Ottobon]

I'm not a new dasher but reminders always useful. Already things i'd recommend but its not bad to broadcast it. Especially during slower hours EBT and all it comes with it just works, keep your rating for right time right place sort of stuff, be picky. With that said i wish there was more EBT time slots in more zones but get creative you can manage

[@DoordashDiaries]

🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@EpicDeets]

9 out of 10 offers aren’t worth taking so I’ll stick to 21% acceptance rate and declining

[@LosBigga]

I need advice, I occasionally dash in the NYC Market area but ever since they started that minimum base pay I haven’t been able to even go online & yes me rating is horrible. But how can I increase me rating if I can’t even get online?

[@isaiahginder1760]

You’re the best thank you

[@dwills7two9]

I tried earn by time for 1 week and it boosted my ratings from 20% range to mid 70s and ever since I have not gone below 70%. I still don't see a big difference in pay for my market

[@cw5451]

That’s good information to know because my acceptance rate is never that high.

[@twistedtwinx2517]

That is a rolling 100 offers not orders. Double offers do not count as 2 orders completed anymore, it counts only as 1.

[@vikings7683]

Sure it does, I get 2 completes if its a double stack order all the time. However for AR it only counts as one. But you certainly get credit for every drop off Say you get a stack of 5, it only counts 1 towards AR, but it counts 5 for CR (completion rate),

[@EndorphinFactory]

Good stuff

[@djj532]

I don't care anything about the dasher tier system, if the order is less than 10 dollars, I'll decline. if it's slow I'll just go home and come back another day.

[@XfireKeenmike]

Keep an eye on the total calculated average dollars to miles ratio because your vehicle knows and feels it more than you.

[@chrisyoung9867]

If you dash for pay by hour, what's the difference between a 9-5, so if you make 1000 a week its really like 5 or 6 hundred because you have to set aside money. Just wondering

[@jessikat31]

Thank you for these videos! I can’t wait for the lawsuits! All the manipulation of metrics, and I’ve spoken to customers, they are not giving us our full tips.. The time is coming..

[@mtgplayer8385]

I am kind of in a wierd spot not the worst not the best where I did 30 dashes as a new dasher almost exactly a year ago when acceptance rate did not matter so out of thoes 30 15 of them were declines then I took a year break until just last week. Now earn by time is no longer available in my area so I just have to accept every order when it is hot and i can dash knowing I am not making anything until thoes last 30 orders start dropping off where all of my declines are going to be.

[@xtaidalwave]

i’m new to the door dash, does status really make that big of a difference?

[@thesovgc]

Being able to Dash Now makes a big difference-and that is only available via Platinum during non-peak times if you're not scheduled.

[@christydennis751]

I was dashing today, accepted the order, then the app froze. Ugh.

[@papanations914]

In order to be Platinum in NY you need acceptance rate of 80%. ....... Which is crazy ... Also I've been getting effected by money missing out my Dasher direct and tips and cash outs being changed to less or deliveries straight up missing like after Its delivered it never adds the money to my sum and gets whipped off my delivery list

[@CommodoreBlitzTheOriginal]

But what do you do if ebt is not in your area? In my area it was removed because too many dashers were abusing it ...

[@foldormanup]

Door Dash learned the "New Math" and implemented it

[@mgw4jc]

The point of a higher AR is the hope of better paying offers, which *should* mean a better hourly or per mile payout, correct? My question is does that happen? You may get some bangers, but do you also still get trash offers with your high AR? I think you do. And you have to accept most of them to keep that high AR. And those bring your hourly or per mile pay down. Down to the same level that I get with a low AR, I dare say. And if that is the case, is the high AR worth it? In the eyes of DD, yes. In my eyes, no!

[@RcDriftIN]

@@mgw4jc no it won’t mean better per mile pay. Sometimes it just means high offer. Which can also be a kicker because I’ll receive some $30 orders, but it’s to drive 40 miles away.

[@karensawyer3639]

Same! I swear I had exact product customer wanted. Even enlisted a Target employee who positively confirmed the item was what was on the list. I scanned it. Door Dash checked it in green. I delivered it. Bam! Then I see it’s marked as “wrong item” I wish I knew how to protect against this again.

In THIS case, it means the customer didn't know what they needed and ordered the wrong thing.

So in California, platinum status starts at 80%.Acceptance rate 97% completion rate and at least a hundred deliveries in a past month. In the past 87 deliveries, I have accepted 87. Delivery is with 0 declines. Took my acceptance rate from 66 to 89.😊 But two of the orders I had to cancelso dropped my completion rate from 98 to 96 So now that I finally made it to about 80% acceptance rate. I still don't have. Platinum status or gold stat is because I need at least 97% completion rate. TOO funny just my luck

You must be in a great market place, I had 84% AR and I was getting $7 for 14 miles all the time and only making around $120 a day, my AR is now 28% and I make $120 a day. In my market place it's an absolute scam, I only got 1 large order/catering job maybe 1 time month if I was lucky. I tried earn by time once and it was absolutely gross, terrible offers taking me into neighborhoods where i would legit be killed and my body never found again. I get that it all depends on market places but I live in the 2nd largest city in NY and I find it hard to believe most market places are better than this 1.

[@RcDriftIN]

@@bradness33 the nyc market is only good for the best dashers and there’s a ton of competition. I live in a bit of an anomaly area, I make around 25-30 an hour but I’m the best in my zone by far. Now the area I live is is a moderate population, university town; however unlike a majority of university towns where the general population is relatively poor, the population is mostly upper middle class. The students also don’t dash because they are getting money from their rich parents while they attend the Christian University. I’ll do 10 orders an hour because they will order to the dorms so I’m driving a couple miles for decent money during a rush. Then during slower times I’m spending my time running orders about 6 miles away to a few neighborhoods where the average price of a home is above 1.5 million. It’s 3:55 am right now and I’m on break. I go out from 7pm-3amI break between 3am and 5:30 am then go back out for breakfast. From 5:30-9am. I would rather have my market than nyc, why? 1: Lower cost of living meaning people with money are more inclined to spend it. 2: I have a higher percentage chance of landing the best orders because there’s very little competition. DoorDash is paying a ton to advertise on indeed in my town specifically because they are very short on drivers here.

Possibly, because I stg the only special thing about Platinum is being able to Dash Now whenever. Now depending on the market, there may be other reasons one is willing to kill themselves to stay above 70%.
