[@timessquare9704]

If I understood a DD representative, correctly, he said that not only can a customer give DD drivers a rating, but also the merchants can give the DD drivers a rating. If that is true, and if a customer complains about an order being late, or about an item missing from their order, and if they then complain to the merchant or to DD corporate about that, the merchant could, theoretically, then retaliate against the DD driver, by giving the driver a bad rating. That’s a huge conflict of interest. The driver gets penalized when it wasn’t the driver’s fault.

[@Stephanie-si8rs]

"Delivered, have a wonderful evening! and thank you for being a 5-star customer, stay safe" lines like these after every single delivered order will make your rating skyrocket, do it mindlessly (I do not work but I used to work in a metric-based call center in a chat department overseas)

[@imjuslooking7270]

In working with DD, I have to say that your ratings WILL decrease over time, It happens. that is the MOST STRESSFUL thing about the job. One really bad rating of one star will decrease your CR two tenths of a point. Yes, two tenths!! I had that happen the other day. A customer gave me a wrong address, and I delivered his food to the actual address, which was a window and door shop. Anyways, he did not answer his phone either. Not till I was leaving his area. I told him to answer his phone, and give the correct address, as I had other deliveries to make. BIG mistake. Customers generally give bad ratings for: rude/unprofessional conduct, missing items, food is cold, being at least 20 minutes late. He's so right. Do not accept the small orders less than $8.00 in my experience from Taco Bell, Burger King, Subway, and esp Chick-Fill- A. Don't do it! These restaurants will NOT have your order ready when you show up. Chic-Fill-A always has a ton of lunch customers there and you WILL have to wait at least ten minutes before you get your order. Employees there are nicer but you can tell they're stressed out at times. Often at Subway, you will have to place the order yourself and wait for it. So I don't take those anymore. And...don't take multiple orders from that mall area. It's so easy to get confused and deliver the wrong food to the correct address. Do one order at a time. DD sucks, let's just say this upfront. YOu can do much better with Amazon Flex, grubhub, postmates, etc..

[@blastofo]

Latoija Jones Stewart I’ve thought about that but i’m not sure. 90% of my orders customers request leaving it at their door. I think they like the transaction to be seamless and automatic and not be bothered, unless theres an issue they need to be notified on. But I only have about 100 deliveries so u speak from more experience. If its a large order, or expensive order then i’d feel more inclined to communicate more with them. I also dont know if I should message them to tell them their food has arrived, because the app tells them immediately, so it would seem redundant. I dont wanna annoy anyone, but I also want them to feel like I did more than the bare minimum. I hope they judge me on my speed and getting all their items right.

[@brianm6872]

New driver here, 59 deliveries. Here's my two cents. I didn't get any ratings come in until I was in the mid-teens and it started off as a 5.0. I wasn't trying that hard, the only thing I did was pick up the food as fast as I can, make sure everything is there, then get it to the customer as quickly as I can. I would only communicate when something went wrong orto coordinate (no other reason) No thought, no extra efforts , except you do the job as quickly and accurately as possible, and when there was contact with the customer be courteous. It wasn't until I started trying too hard, sending lots of text messages, asking for five stars, and basically thinking too much about it, is when my ratings are now currently at 4.44. I think what I need to go is back to how I was at the beginning. take the order and get there as quickly as you can, check the order and make sure it is accurate, get to the customer as quickly as you can, do not communicate unless something goes wrong or if you need to communicate for coordinating the delivery. they already know that you are on the way because of the way the app works, wasting time texting is going to waste time where your foot could be on the gas pedal instead and getting there quicker. quicker and efficient orders will win. the customer doesn't really care who you are , Finally when there is contact be pleasant and nice. It's not rocket science. I think that this is what will get my ratings back up. the only other thing I will modify is by only taking orders where the amount ofdollars is bigger than the amount of miles, so that way I always get orders that are close enough and avoiding the Cheapskates who complain. basically stop trying too hard, and stop communicating with the customer unless there's a business need. And just do the job right and do it fast. Everything else is beyond your control . and when there is contact being courteous. the only other thing is accepting the right orders. Stop thinking!! Just do the job as well as you can. I know my ratings will go up. think like the customer, it's a business they just want their damn food. so now my new mantra is STOP TRYING TOO HARD AND JUST DO THE JOB RIGHT AND EFFICENTLY AND BE NICE! everything else is going out the window because it's beyond your control

Raised my rating from 4.63 to 4.7 in 1 day (7 deliveries) by texting them the following after pickup: Hello this is your Dasher Rick. I have picked up your DoorDash order and I'll be there shortly. While you are waiting, I've included 5 ⭐ information below that you should be aware of: 1. Your order might be part of a grouped delivery of 2 customers from 1-2 restaurants which may require me to deliver to the other customer first, in the order that Doordash gives me. 2. Some restaurants seal the order bags. Drivers are not allowed to open or check the contents of sealed bags for your safety, so if there is something wrong with your order, please contact the restaurant or DoorDash. For bags not sealed by the restaurant, I have performed the required item check during pickup and ensured all your items have been included. 3. If you have requested a non-contact delivery and see me taking a picture at your doorstep, here is why: Drivers are required to take a picture of the food at your doorstep or requested placement, to ensure DoorDash that the delivery was made and to show the customer where the food was placed. 4. Not all Dashers practice safety during this pandemic, but I do. Just like at my main job, I am reporting to you that I have no symptoms. I wear a mask during the whole delivery process and sanitize my hands at every pickup to ensure safety for everyone. 5. And lastly, you may be asked by DoorDash to rate your delivery. When restaurants make errors, some customers give bad ratings to drivers. This is a mistake. **Driver ratings are SEPARATE from Restaurant/Food quality ratings. A 5 STAR rating is the standard for all deliveries. Driver's who drop to a 4.2 rating are subject to deactivation. Ratings are based on the ave of ratings rec'd, but not everyone takes the time to give good ratings, only bad ones. So I humbly ask you to consider this: If your delivery was on-time and are satisfied with my delivery process, please take a minute to rate me 5 STARS to continue to provide exceptional service, during this risky time of pandemic. Thank you.

If so, that means that if a merchant forgets to include an item within a customers’ order, which a driver can’t, personally, visually check-on, because the bag is already sealed upon pick-up, and -therefore, the driver then has to believe the merchant when the merchant says to the driver that everything ordered is actually included inside of the bag; the merchant, upon hearing a complaint from a customer, or from a DD service representative, could -theoretically, give a driver a poor rating ‘in retaliation’,, when it was actually the merchant’s fault, in the first place.

Door Dash's rating system is set up to take advantage of human nature and not designed to improve service. That's why it's on a slide scale of 1-5. Even if you did everything he suggested in the video and every order was right for 100 deliveries, 100 people aren't going to give you a 5 star review. Anything less than a 5 will at the least keep your % the same or at worst drop it. I agree taking late orders or orders from restaurants that are notorious for being late will drive your ratings down. Unfortunately it will take a whole lot of 5 star ratings to get you out of the hole a 1 star rating can put you in. I text the customer 1x only during a delivery asking for a 5 star rating. Asking in person is best but not always viable.

I never thought about not leaving the receipt in the bag. I always use an insulated bag and set it next to the food when I take the photo. It doesn't require any direct communication and the customers seem to appreciate knowing that their food was delivered like that.

[@firstplacelegendgamingmore9800]

I've been accepting every order to learn the city I'm working in. I've learned fast food places are the fastest go figure . Most restaurants are 20minutes or more waiting. I'm going to start being a bit more picky and see if that helps . Hopefully it helps lol

[@SansevieriaMedia]

KFC and Popeye's were the two chicken places that popped up in my mind. I rarely do any fast food places though, they tend to be terrible in my market.

[@4strings4me]

DD rating system is GARBAGE... These customers are delusional... And it's not my customer. The driver is neither the sender nor the receiver. We only deliver....

[@NWoodLane]

I've not asked for a 5-star rating, but it's obvious that I need to do this.

[@BlGGESTBROTHER]

Have you had chances to ask for a 5 star rating? How’s it working for you?

[@blastofo]

I would only ask that if u had a positive personal interaction with em. I wouldnt randomly message that question to customers.

[@BlGGESTBROTHER]

@@blastofo I got my rating at 4.91 currently and I've never asked for a good rating. I really don't think it's necessary. Just be polite and personable and people will give you a good rating imo

[@blastofo]

Big Brother Thats good. But u must be making savvy choices on which orders you accept, or are lucky. Because I think a lot of drivers are getting poor ratings for mistakes that they had nothing to do with. I only just found out that I was picking up orders that many others declined, and was sent to get food that was already running late, and customers probably thought it was my fault and that I was working slow.

The nastiest employees and longest wait time is doordash signature restaurant chikfila!

[@ricque2331]

[@leannabedore]

EXACTLY! I waited in the drive thru for 30min for them to say we don't do doordash through the drive thru...okay..I go inside TWENTY minutes later I get the food. plus its so packed inside and outside. no thank you.

@@leannabedore which is complete bullshit that you can't get the orders in the Drive thru...

publicricky wingstop is HORRIBLE. I waited 40 minutes for 20 wings! The only reason why I stayed was bc I was in contact with the customer & he was very understanding AND it was my last dash of the night. -_-

[@christaldunaway1256]

I hit 980 delivers with a 4.88 . Made it to 1k this morning with my rating is 4.86. Petty to some but I make sure I text before I leave the restaurant and I don’t leave without checking the food . I take the photo of food with the address in the photo. Proper greeting you name it. One customer had the rowdies dogs and I wouldn’t get out. I just couldn’t. She started telling they are playful but they are at my car barking up a storm. When i ask could she come and get them she got mad snatched the damn food and hit 1 star before I even pulled off.🙄

[@minimecfcom]

Just my second day of doing DD. The first day I had no customer reviews, the second day I started asking them to rate me Five stars the exact way as in your video. Know I have a five customer rating. All Thanks to watching your video.

[@msanchagrin]

My opinion is that a customer should have to justify a rating of 3 or below. I wear clean black jeans, white shoes, a nice clean top, I put may hair back, I pick up the food, check the order, I politely contact the customer when necessary, put the food in the hot or cold bag. Follow the app directions, follow the customer requests. No spillage. Bam, I earned a "1".

[@sticharoo2228]

Since most deliveries are now contactless, how do you feel about asking for ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ in the description box after you take the pic?

[@Braindoner101]

I’d rather not do it. In fact I tried the request for 5 stars the EXACT way he said it today and I got a 1 star! Not doing it again.

[@jadedrac0]

Guys don’t dash in the hood and watch your rating climb and get tipped better.

[@ConsejeroDelAmor]

IAM at 4.8 and door dash saids that their system saids that IAM at 4.5 and that is WRONG

[@arielprivott844]

Awesome tips. I love the one about ASKING FOR A 5 star rating. I actually print out small cards(in regular paper) that ask for 5 star ratings. That way even if it’s a contactless order I can still get my ask in. & if it’s a bad order I just don’t leave one🤣

[@CountrySingerWannabe]

DD should show the lower 25 ratings so that you can see what is about to fall off. They can't show you the latest rating because then, drivers might go an confront customers for giving them less than 5 stars. I am at 4.92 stars and have over 1200 trips. While I have had 1 star reviews, I can tell you, I have never actually ever done a 1 star trip. There have been less than a handful of trips where I might understand a 4 star rating but never have I ever done a poor enough job to go any lower. As a result, almost all of my 1 star ratings go excluded.

[@SignedOff402]

I wonder if merchants also rate us. Have you been invited to do Drive Orders (catering)? I believe that is an indication of a good rating if so.

[@DoordashDiaries]

Yep I do Drive Orders as well and you are right they are rating selective about the people they add. I don’t know but I will Def ask about the rating. I know they can specify they want us for Drive Orders. Regular orders I know they can say they don’t want us back but not sure if they can specifically ask for us. Hope that helps

[@ashleymartin2090]

People be prejudice too unfortunately I experience this a lot

[@Candelo1950]

Great info!

[@mattmueller1921]

I’m sitting on a 4.9 with 700+. About not giving the receipts might that cause confusion about customers spending longer to make sure order is there’s if handing in person? Like the receipt to me confirms I gave the right person the right food and eliminates confusion when I have multiple orders in car.

[@michellebrooke1750]

My completion rate and on time deliveries is 100% but my first rating is a 1. I really have no idea why since all the orders were on time and I counted all the items. I feel like even if there was a missing item, a 1 rating is extreme...just sucks because that’s my first rating.

[@BlGGESTBROTHER]

Were you able to get your rating up or were you dropped from the app?

[@AAchurch]

This rating system makes me want to cry. 😢

[@goodtimepoke]

I have about 380 deliveries and 27 5 stars, and recently got a 3 star. Dropped it down from 5.00 to 4.93. I’m torn between adapting a copy-paste text for all deliveries and always calling over texting for the contact deliveries, and just trying to do my best job by getting it to them safely and quickly. What else could I do outside of that? I don’t know if sending a short couple character message will help or hurt. I feel I do a good job as is to not as for the 5 star, but I’d really like to get my rating up again. I KNOW it’s only 4.9 at the end of the day, we know that one more 3 or less star review will drop it down to 4.8, maybe even 4.79…

[@Amiyahfrneddc]

I hate ppl that just give 1 star for absolutely no reason.

When ive just accidently missed an order coming in (to accept or decline ) my acceptance rating goes down . If im purposely not accepting low orders or from certain restraunts , wont that percentage effect me ? Or does it not ?

Thanks man I really appreciate that I'm going to practice 👍🏻💯

[@gremlinsbreath]

I've been thinking of making up some small reminder cards asking for a five star rating that I can put on or in the customers order. I honestly don't know if that would work in my favor or not. It might just remind customers that they can be a dick to the driver.

[@trezzerstinks]

I bought some cards at dasher rater with 2 mint candies and wet naps. My ratings went from 4.7 to 4.9 in a week.

[@CountrySingerWannabe]

I bought some generic stickers asking for 5 stars but I haven't started using them yet. Sort of on the fence about it. Part of me feels it isn't my right to infringe and just leave the tipping and star rating in their court completely. Some customers are just bitter and there is nothing we can do about that. In fact, it is possible, the bitter customer was playing on giving you a 3 star until you asked for a 5 star. Now, they give you a 1 star just because you asked for 5 stars.
