Have you seen the new Doordash feature where it says pay per time or pay per order? I was in another state and saw it there. When I got home it was gone. Seemed like it was a test run being done in some locations. I don't know if you did a video on it already. My acceptance rate is same as yours, in the 20's. I got up to 38%, but then it decreased again. My Uber Eats though is at 57&. I am trying to get it to the 60's or even 70's. Just a goal

[@ScottH.]

What happens if everyone just ignored all the small orders and cherry picked only the good ones? Not asking in a confrontational way, I'm just wondering if that's what they may be struggling with. They may be dealing with a lot of orders not getting delivered or delivered late after sitting for a long time. 🤷

[@jchbentley1145]

Sounds like dd is saying take it or leave it, they pay 2 dollars and want you to do what’s best for them not you. Maybe we should all drop door dash from our apps and watch the sink they have no product to sale only us.

[@cynthiabatton7258]

I am brand new, just a couple months, into Door Dash. I only did a month with Spark (Walmart) and they did great injustice to their drivers. Yet, Door Dash, I agree with you in that we are not W2 employees. I have strong work ethics and to turn down orders bothered me at first but not anymore. It’s a shame. I just need a side hustle for extra cash to help pay off bills. Thank you for the video.

[@bigge3021]

I'm 💯 with you, Sara. What I don't get is there can't be enough high paying orders to go around for us drivers if you're forcing all of us to achieve these levels. Like everyone is saying in the comments, DD really wants us to do these no tip orders and don't care how much it hurts us financially.

[@johnring2006]

I quit DD two months ago. I kept getting no tip orders or long distance orders not worth the distance. I'd get about 1 or 2 good orders a week so I said screw it. I just do Instacart and walmart sparks and they pay the bills. I don't have time for DD's games. I hope they go under soon for all the shady crap they do to dashers.

[@kennethmcalister9853]

One thing I don't understand about DD is they will give you an order that takes you miles out of your area and then say you have to get back in your area to get another order. When this happened, I said, "Wait, you're the ones who sent me out of my area." I cleaned that up for you guys. lol

[@ericberry6557]

It seems to me that if ur not in one of these programs then you are not gonna get a lot of orders

[@SaraElizabethYT]

Yes I think so too. Many drivers struggle to keep their AR up though due to no tip orders that aren't profitable. Isn't that why we work on this app in the first place..for a profit?

[@8084Life]

​@@SaraElizabethYT I look at it as the app itself is how you utilize doordash's platform. Doordash itself is a company and as a business they'll do whatever they have to do to continue making a profit for their shareholders. In business decisions that have to be made to accomplish that, there will always be times when certain individuals will be unhappy be it, the merchants, customers, drivers, shareholders and company workers. It's just the nature of business so you either adjust with the changes or move on to what works for you. You can't expect things to stay the same in business year after year with competition my friend. My question is; What are you gonna do if it comes to your market? I myself will adjust if it works and I can make sense of it, or find another hustle, plain and simple. Let me know your plans...

[@8084Life]

It's how you see business in my opinion

[@sanchezo95]

I was at 58% at one point, and I did multiple 1 hour dashes and ended up getting nothing throughout the entire 1 hour dash so many times. The little orders I got, I took, and got my AR past 70%, and now I'm seeing more orders as high paying, along with some saying non high paying

If your placing huge high paying orders like that, even now you are going to get a dasher that has high stats "priority support" and fast delivery times. Switching to tiers (gold silver and platinum) is actually better for the customer as you will never get a driver that just doesn't care and will drop your order at the first sign of an issue.

[@vikings7683]

@@SaraElizabethYT Customer always gets priority if they call themselves, For drivers VIP support only means you will be able to understand the support agent (no heavy accent) . lol DD right now, usually only gives LOP (large order program) orders to drivers with high completion rates (CR 95% and up) and high customer ratings (4.7 and over.) . So customer right now gets a driver that will commit to an order and most likely will not cancel if there is an issue. I am one of those LOP drivers and I make good money doing it. It used to be you could only get LOP by being invited to the program. With the new tier system anybody that meets the platinum requirement's will automatically be eligible for LOP/catering orders, which may actually affect me. Right now my stats would qualify me for platinum (4.97, 82% AR 99% CR and 98% on time early), but the more drivers that achieve platinum the less LOP orders there may be for any given driver. In my area with my stats I have gone from making $20 to $25 an hr cherry picking ,to making $35 to $50 an hr with my high AR/CR. Best was $127 in about 45 mins, for just one order.

Exactly. They need to be sued because if we're independent contractors or subcontractors then we shouldn't have to accept offers that we don't want to accept and we shouldn't be punished or penalized for not accepting offers and wanting to strategize and do what's best for ourselves.

With all these dashers solely focusing on AR and neglect the very purpose of this luxury service by providing quality value to tipping customers who literally paying for most of our pays. I can't wait for DD to reward dashers with high quality ratings, like 4.9+ customer ratings, 90%+ completion rates... do you know how mess up you have to be to have 4.5 customer ratings 😂 what a joke this company is becoming!

[@NicksPerspective]

I had a melt down today about the customer rating. They don’t base your rating it over the last 100 deliveries. It’s over your lifetime as a dasher. People just want their food. They will never give a rating unless they’re unhappy. Service workers know that people are disgusting and hateful. You want to destroy your customer rating? Take a bunch of no tip orders. These people expect you to spon feed them and when you don’t…1 star. Petty petty people and so needy. Dregs.

[@lvwingfan]

I have high completion rate and ranking of 4.96. However, my acceptance rate is 26%. I get mostly crap orders on Door Dash so I stick mostly with Uber Eats. Uber Eats sends me orders wherever I am, regardless of "zone." I also use other gig apps because Door Dash continues to go downhill.

[@mizzteareacts9397]

I have never seen this but I was waiting for over 10 min and for dash allowed me to unassign the order without getting it counted towards my completion rate.

[@jjminor]

One issue that they don’t seem to address and which would concern me is the customer rating. My acceptance rate is currently between 10 and 15% which is actually high for me, because I am very selective in what I take. My customer rating is perfect at 5.0. I have done around 16,000 deliveries at this point and generally when I get a thumbs down or a lower than five ranking, I can trace them back to customers who did not appreciate me or what I put into getting them their food as quickly as possible. All that to say, my opinion is that if you are not able to cherry pick, then your customer ratings will likely suffer as well. Most likely not to the point where it matters but still it would suffer.

[@Supersquishyawesomeness]

Why would you take the experience out on the customer to the point they’d be that upset? You are in a customer service role. It’s not that hard to suck it up and be nice. It’s a rolling number so if you are consistently rated low you are consistently bad.

[@jjminor]

@@Supersquishyawesomeness I don’t think you even read what I wrote. When did I take anything out on the customer?

[@Supersquishyawesomeness]

@@jjminor you said that customer ratings would be impacted because drivers are taking orders they don’t want. Those two things should not be effecting the other. I’ve had 3 ratings below 4 and two of those were excluded by doordash. If you have a bad customer rating you are not a good driver.

[@theMadDasherFL]

​@@Supersquishyawesomenessthat's completely untrue. People who don't tip are notoriously rude and rate dashers poorly because they are often looking for a reason to get a refund. The only bad ratings I've ever received have been from miserable bad tippers.

[@Supersquishyawesomeness]

@@theMadDasherFL those ratings are excluded by doordash. The way ratings are done you have no way of knowing which order rated you. They can rate days later. Almost 2k deliveries and I’ve come across one blatantly rude customer. You also seem to have an overall disdain for the customers, maybe you need a different job.

[@MrPookiexL3oi]

I've noticed the same thing with UberEats orders. It seems like if you don't take no tip orders or a higher mileage order then they will not send you the good pay orders. You would have to wait for over 30 min. for a decent order. I noticed when you do take a bad order then right after you will get a good order. Then the cycle continues also if you decline multiple bad orders then you will be sitting in your car from 25 min. - 30 min. waiting for a good job. Cherry picking has died for my market in New Orleans.

If I can’t get a shift, oh well. 🤷‍♂️ I’m not going to worry about stats, HR and game playing. That’s why I do this in the first place.

When you are driving you should consider Depreciation of the Vehicle, wear & tear of vehicle, Gas used for driving and your time spent driving the vehicle.

There are so many orders in my area that are just barely acceptable for just the drive, but go so far away from zone or even any merchants the return miles make the order conete trash. What's even better, my area has legislated taxi fares so the ride starts at 5 bucks and gets 1.65 a mile. I don't get the 5 bucks and am averaging basically at 1 dollar a mile. I even drive a PHEV so mu forst 30 miles only cost like 3 cents a mile for propulsion and I'm still barely making money.

[@lsinghca]

They are trying so hard on the drivers, yet cant fix or come up with driver pay solution. The end goal is money for everyone. Drivers remember, they cant functions without you.

[@AnnaLoveSF143]

so far nothing in California like this.

[@Capital1212]

Top dasher/large order program driver last 7 months here. Unfortunately , Top dashers aren’t rewarded enough like they should be. You can get higher paying orders but they’re not always there. What no one talks about is DoorDash capping your earnings by not giving you orders when you make good money hourly. Whatever happens we all adjust …… Large order program drivers are given big orders despite acceptance rate giving an unfair advantage over td.

[@TheTimcarry5]

Unfortunately doordash like alot of these apps don't care about their workers. They don't even care about the customer for that matter they just care about the dollar. Profit is all they're concerned about

[@JesusSaves3-16]

Doordash looking to line their pockets at our expense, in tidewater area of Virginia doordash orders are on average 3.50$ for 5 miles after the pay decrease to 2$ per order.

[@sharonjohnson8550]

What they ultimately are trying to do is the force every driver to do the earn by time instead of earned by order

[@menards23able]

I’m sure you will still good payouts even with bad ratings

[@PhobosPlace]

my area just recently had the earn by time hourly rate raised from 11 dollars to 16 dollars an hour. seeing this i decided to try earn by time for the first time, first hour was fantastic made 43 dollars in an hour and 5 or 10 minutes. then it went to hell after my first 4 orders i got nothing but no tipper after no tipper for the rest of the day. in total i took 14 orders and 4 had tips. yes i got 10 no tippers in a row. so today im like maybe it was a fluke so i started out earn by time again first order had a tip second and third both were no tips so i ended my dash and went to earn by order. oh and 1 of the orders i did yesterday was for 10.3 miles i was freaking furious. i do not think i will be doing earn by time again unless they raise it to 20 an hour because they bombarding me with no tippers is a no for me. btw my AR is 68%

[@TimErwin]

I wonder if they did that because that was your first Earn by time. Some dashers claim Doordash will send you good orders at first to hook you, then they'll unload all their crap orders and hope you'll stay.

[@anthonyculberton7367]

From my experience, DD does everything in it's power to fuck over drivers. Every update they do gets worse for the driver.

[@AnnaWitte-f8f]

I won’t ever cancel orders anymore and a top dasher!!

[@remixrepeat]

I'm surprised Corpus Christi was even in a pilot program it's a little beach town. I've never dashed there but I've visited many times. I don't see why they'd try something new in a small town. I've never been to Lubbock but it's like a small college town. I'm in San Antonio a big city and we have this new program where are CR has to be above 90% that's bs.

[@pikapikavibes6837]

If they want people to take no tip orders... Pay us more base pay like the customer already pays for dash pass then has to tip pretty well. Then they still get their food cold. The earn by time can be nice to help with that but it punishes you for being a fast dasher lol 😅

[@Jagonzalez2486]

I gave up on door dash since February 2023. I literally don't get any orders from them anymore, when I do it's trash no tip. I refuse to follow there game. Uber eats and instacart keep me going.

[@stevehammond2016]

Hey Lady , thanks . The recent changes are def' a game changer . Because of this , how much we do per hour , not by trip will become a prerequisite for " our " existence . This will be a game changer as far as tax deductions / exemptions . Doing what you can to squeeze more pennies coming your way . I believe DD is saying , " ya' gotta' work harder - take the good with the bad " . That type of thing . With that being said.......

[@tyharris9994]

My AR jumped this past month from 8% to 18% because they stopped hiding tips. As of this morning they are back to their old tricks and tip hiding. It just never stops with these people. I'm worn out with all the schemes and games. There is a fine line between tragedy and comedy where things get so bad that you have to laugh. I am basically there. For that matter, it all seems to be part of a larger trend in America in 2023 where you look back on nearly any aspect of your life an remember when things were normal and didn't suck.

[@user-ny7vz9fh5y]

u voted for it

[@iGo0gIe]

Wait I don’t have that rewards program in my market? The silver gold and platinum thing. When did this start? Wtf

[@JustPeachie22]

I don't either🤷‍♀️

[@enigmasdestiny1355]

Been dashing now for about a full year. In my 2k deliveries, im sitting with a completion rate of 97%, acceptance of 77%, and a rating of 4.96. this sounds kinda stupid to me because im in a tad larger market i believe(Atlanta) and for me, the first time i got top dasher it cause issues in my app where i couldnt dash for a week and i had to get everything reset. Im a bit of a double edged sword because i primarily dash downtown, im used to seeing orders that are just about at that $1:mile combo. So I get my 100-130 per dash and keep going. While these programs sound great, they havent been consistent enough or programmed them right to allow for the people they want to take advantage of them to take advantage. With the way its trending, they are possibly going to start gating the larger orders entirely behind these walls and that will be what kills the app.

[@theghostoftoby1779]

Looks like we all need to find another side hustle. I will never take trash and run my car into the ground for a 2 dollar order.

[@zaifaxian]

You'll be stressless doing this job, As long as you don't care about those numbers

[@elianayoung6406]

Totally agree with you most the apps are no good anymore, if nobody pick up the trash orders the app will have 2 choices or pay more or go bankrupt all drives need to understand and put in their mind without drives they are nothing

[@sara31773]

I just don’t see that big of a change in their program. Seems mostly like the same stuff under a different name.

[@tamrasant2792]

Why don’t they just have a minimum dollar required order. It is ridiculous for customers to order a $2.00 order for any distance. Or for such a low order have a minimum tip added.

[@dharmamegasamahdi]

My problem with all this AR bullshat is DD (no matter how far away I start) will always try to make me take orders that take me into a part of town I just don’t belong, for safety reasons! So do I get to sue them for throttling me and preventing me from making an income because I won’t put myself into an unsafe situation??? Of course not! Plus F Them for $2.45 orders, there has to be something we can do as contractors to stop this insanely unfair expectation…
