One of the reasons on the decline order page needs to be “I don’t work for free!” What’s up with all these $2.75 for 5 miles or $3.75 for 6 miles? “I don’t work for free.” should be a reason.

Don’t rush is a really big one, especially with drinks. I went to Goodwill and got a few good size purses/totes and baby blankets for my insulated bags. I take the bags with me into restaurants so I can pack the order into the bag and keep it at temp, plus very stable so it doesn’t spill as I load/unload. I take the bag to the door and unload it there, so it’s at good temp. Customers appreciate it.

I did my research first and today was my first day. Long story short I finished with almost $80 with 3 active hrs. 1 good take away is to not rush because I do know I was super early for sure for at least dropping off three which was stressful only because I was new to this and took on two orders at least three or four times in the same area or same restaurant. This being my first time was stressful but I managed with no hiccups

ty for the video. does it matter if you decline the order vs letting the time run out? Also, is the mileage given in the beginning when you accept the order for the trip to the business and then to the customer? If the business doesnt have the order ready even though you received a message saying the order is ready does that count against the dasher? Excuse all the question. ty in advance!

I would love to see a video that walks me and talks me through a full door dash after the fact... so record it in the moment, leave that hard to focus background music out, and talk me slowly through the process of an order coming in - what do you look at, what helps you to decide whether to take the order or not, what are the things you consider? Once you take the order, talk us through the details of how the app works from there. My first order took me forever to figure out how to do everything in a timely manner and I ended up getting tagged as not having delivered it on time, when in fact, I had delivered it at least 5-10 minutes early. Also, where do you put your purse? Some of the areas I deliver to are not the most trustworthy and full of character, integrity, and respect. I worry about my purse when I jump out to run a delivery up to a house. Things I found hard to figure out on my first day dash today: 1. How do I look at the screen and know whether it is worth my time and drive? 2. How do I know what the full amount of miles will be? 3. Once finished, do I drive back toward a hotspot to pick up another delivery or stay where I'm at? 4. Is there a way to tell where I'm being sent ahead of time? (I live in Indiana and it sent me across the border to a rough neighborhood in Illinois today. I grew up in a neighborhood like that and I know what goes on. I was not prepared and should never have been over there.) 5. How do you go into the app and send the customer a text? Are you doing this through the app or through your own text message? 6. I actually live in a rough and unsafe area... How do I drive to a safer area where I can work? Do I have to find the hotspot or can I just go to the area and then pick up orders from there? 7. What app or process do you use for tracking mileage, vehicle maintenance, etc? 8. I know I'm missing some things. For a type A - Highly sensitive personality and a total introvert (functional introvert but nonetheless...), I was a little overwhelmed with it all. I wish I could have had time to play in a "test" version to really learn my way around the app and figure out how to navigate it but because they don't offer that, I need a video that at least takes the time to show these things - and preferably, a previously recorded dash that has been gone back through and voiced over to explain everything...
@jdm3407
@jdm3407 3 жыл бұрын
I know if you open up the app, the red busy areas you can click on them and hit navigate and once you arrive in that zone you can dash there. I like to go away from the bad neighborhoods lol (although sometimes it’ll end up taking me right outside of Englewood in Chicago as thats where the customer is). I’ve noticed the restaurants are almost always inside the zone, but the customers can be anywhere outside of it.

Hello Mike. Thanks for all you do. My question here is as most of the orders come in their own bags, when do you consider taking your bag into a restaurant to receive orders. Or do you always take it in no matter what the order is? And I'm guessing you have various sized bags for different sized orders. So when do you determine when it's appropriate to use these bags?

You get one big red bag. Your orders come in plastic or paper bags. Take the bags out to your car and put them in the red bag.

The door dash bag is crappy. Too small for one. I bought a couple off Amazon and reinforce the side so it would stand up with cardboard in the interior it’s much larger and I can hold a lot more sometimes I bring the bag in because that way the employees know right away it’s DoorDash it just depends though. I have a separate drink carrier sometimes the cardboard ones they give you are really not secure enough

Rookie here in a weird area.What if you're living in an area that doesn't offer dash? If I drive 6 miles north there is a pink area with a $5 incentive, or drive south 10-15 miles to a busy area (where the restaurants are spread out, and the traffic is horrible). Plus all areas mentioned was hit by a hurricane last week. Restaurants are half staffed and roads are difficult to navigate.

With winter coming, what do you recommend about trying to find apartments’ addresses in the dark? I based my decision on taking certain orders knowing fast food are usually apartment Renters. I also don’t take the bait with stack orders that are extremely low which Door Dash tries to sneak in all the time since that lame order has been declined by other dashers.

Hello, a subscriber recommended the Beans app which is GPS for apartments; I've been experimenting with that. DD also does a good job of showing you exactly which building to deliver to even within complexes. Last resort I'll stop at the complex map if I'm lost.

The app will say "Red Card Order" on the order request screen. You'll need to activate your RC anyway so you should be fine for the time being

Just started dashing. The app will not give you any orders until your in the zone that your scheduled to work in. It tells you in a yellow banner to get back to the hotspot areas to receive an order. I sat in a non hotspot area and it was the only times i didn't get an order within 10 minutes.

If you have a Tesla, this job is SO worth it. 4 hours of dashing is around 25-30% of my battery and I’m more open to taking a lot of orders. I live right near my capital and try not to take orders that cross the river into the shady part of town.

Stay in the higher class areas and the restaurants that u have received big tips for. Try and take those places. And drive like a grandma if u want . Most customers wait for u to leave before they grab there food. So spend a lil more time in front of there house and u will see u make more Haha it's funny be more confident then the costumers

Where do I find the Dasher store ... Is it in the app? My red card and bag are lost in the mail. Post office has no idea where the package is. Is there a way to track your mileage? I'll never had early access. Every door dash order I've taken is jacked up. I've even had customers yell at me about drinks they didn't order that weren't on any ticket or in the app during a contactless delivery. They never ordered the drink at all. When the app glitched and Gave me a 25 miles order it said was 5 miles away... I logged out and never went back.
