Up Your Pay in a Week!! Biggest Doordash Orders in 2024

[@zanthemeximan]

im usually making $20 an hour when I dash. My whole goal is to make $100 or more everytime. It is very important to set up a goal.

[@ThomasaRoberts-w8s]

I do agree my goals. Always 30 to 40 deliveries within a week with my disabilities. As most I cand I'm always gonna top Dasher. I sure I'm in a good area, the thing is. I'm right in the car now. Cause my car broke down and it's cost me more money. But the gas is good in the car and the mileage. Wise, but my phone messing up. There was a lot of things going on in the last couple of days that I could not make any money in the last 3 days and I started to know you like this and I was very upset. I'm trying to purchase me a car but that's my goal. I got 1 day To make at least 4 to 500 dolland finally got the phone's working correctly.. I listened I left in twenty four hours

[@ericshiel]

I always set a $100 goal for every single dash, sometimes I get there in 3 hours, other times 6

[@jarrodbuma9705]

You make $20 minus fuel and wear and tear on you vehicle

[@thegoat4314]

I need 100 a day

[@ployth9000]

just now starting dash in order to do that do you dash by time or dash by order

[@ThatguyDiscGolf82]

Shorter distance from faster restraunt means less time spent on that order and more time to catch another right after

[@jarrodbuma9705]

You mean more orders in an hour means more money?! No shit!? 😮🙄 Well it doesnt work like that...not every order is a great order

[@ployth9000]

so do you all go from like 1 town to the other

[@mzprissda1550]

I have noticed that I am being offered 2-3 $ and I am Platinum! After I decline a offer for a low amount, they will immediately send me 2 or 3 more orders just like that one so that if I keep declining, my acceptance rate drops to a low percentage and I am then forced to accept the offer to remain in the platinum program! Not to mention that if I decline one offer, my acceptance rates drops by 1% but I have to accept and complete about 10 offers before I gain that 1% back! Is that the norm?

[@arthurdcalvertjr3807]

I do.3, 2, 1 and I consistently make over $20 per hour. You were right on with your analogy. Good job Bently. Love your videos. I have over 7000 deliveries and I love dashing.

[@Hvyweight84]

I’m learning as I go, mistakes I’ve made so far are accepting without looking at the distance, distance is key right now. I had a wonderful $17.75 order but didn’t realize it was over 10 miles… took me a total of an hour from start to finish so in hindsight, it was not worth it.

[@kesa7669]

Yes!!! I might take that order ONLY IF that 10 miles takes me to another area with a lot of restaurants and opportunities. Otherwise, the order is really $17.75 for 20 miles because you have to drive back the busy area. Or, if I am far from home, Door Dash typically gives me a long dash but it brings me close to home at the end of my dash, so I am going that way anyway.

[@angelarodriguez4116]

Yesss

[@Integrity-Speaks]

How do we check for the distance,??that's my problem I accept without knowing the distance.

[@Hvyweight84]

@@Integrity-Speaks when you see the big dollar amount, look directly underneath at the mileage. For example, if an order pays $7.75, just underneath it will be a smaller number like 5.2mil which indicates mileage. FYI, 5.2mil is an example and not the actual number you’ll see.

The market makes a big difference.

I Dash in High Point & Greensboro, North Carolina, and the offers be crazy. Although, it stays pretty busy there are a lot of orders that offer low pay and high miles, even though I top dasher most of the time. I only missed it once and it made a world of difference.

[@scottgodek5498]

I just recently started taking smaller paying orders but made sure the distance was to a minimal as well. I typically stick to 1.50 to 2.00 per mile. I noticed when i take a couple small orders back to back i usually get a high paying order with very low mileage immediately after. In a 2 hr span ive made about 30.00 an hour 🤘😝🤘 Im a member

I’m a member!❤ I’m a new dasher. I have been taking whatever orders I get. I set a goal of how much I want to make when out. I’ve made $20 - 22 per hour. Thanks for the video. I will definitely be implementing your strategy and looking more at mileage.

[@fionadixon9110]

You’re the GOAT…applied the 1,2,3 method and back at $200 per night. I dropped and was barely making a little over $100. 2 days ago got a $61 19 mile offer. Took about an hour and a half total to both restaurants 1 customer and back to zone. Thanks!!

[@bluetumblr]

Yo whud up Bentley ! A while back I was going to quit doordash and then I found your videos and it's helped me out SO MUCH . I got over a thousand dashes now and even though sometimes it's still frustrating I'm making around $20 an hour in a small town following your advice. Thanks again!

[@myalternatealeksandr5514]

This is why logging metric data is so important when doing gig work. I see a lot of comments telling people to "never take anything under $5" but no one ever seems to be able to prove that it's "unprofitable." It's anecdotal and market dependent. It reminds me in Moneyball when Pete and Billy try to drive home the point that in order to get wins, you need runs which translates to getting on base. "Getting on base" in this scenario means taking orders that still fit your metrics because it all regresses to the mean over time. No one gets rich waiting on unicorn orders like they wanna believe.

[@suzanneelmore770]

No one makes any money taking lowball offers with 2x the miles! Offers like $4 for 7 mi and $2 for 1.5 mi and $6 for 11 mi. And it goes like that ALL DAY LONG. I was taking everything and my offers never improved. If I got a $17 fir 12 mi it took me so far off the grid, I was on nothing but dirt road after dirt road after dirt road, got lost cuz no road had any road signs and the offers dropped like ton of bricks. I’d start heading out of there back my town that only gives me shitty offers and they kept trying to keep me stuck out there offering the usual $4 fir 8 mi or worse! I’d drive 80 miles to Orlando just to see if offers get any better in a large population.

[@kesa7669]

I would typically accept Chic-fil-a offer at about 5 miles for that amount BECAUSE in my area, more times than not, I will get a 2nd order while in store that only adds a couple miles. So, I'd end up with 2 orders than would give me close to $14 for 7/8 miles. And, my Chic-fil-a is quick also, so I am in and out.

Also, I really like that I can choose how far I'm willing to drive for an order. I love that I don't have to camp outside of restaurants to get good orders.

I like your concept. EXCEPT for one important variable. Your not the only dasher, so more then likely while your delivering those 1s & 2s someone else is gonna SSSNATCH that 3 banger before u get back to the hot zone. Again I pretty much follow this strategy to a tee also but I factor in what day it is, the time of day and how fast the orders are popping. But 👏 good ish my boi.

Thanks for the video and I hope you're still doing this.

[@Totandher4kids]

[@mjpthetrucker9485]

I'm the type that likes my free throws as well as my 3 pointers. I laugh any time I see folks say to reject any and all if it's under x 10 times out of 10. Gotta have a strategy not a static approach. That $4 order is probably headed towards a $10 order in the area in question. Happens all the time. Not every time but it happens.

[@timroden6617]

I take those $4.50 going 2 miles from McDonalds. It gets your AR up. The next order will be the $30 from a good Japanese restaurant. You take the 1 pointers, the thank you from DoorDash is good. The problem is you take that $3.50 going 2 miles at McDonalds and they are having a bad day and can't get the order out. Unassigning can become a problem. It can become a guess as to which 1 pointer still scores.

[@derekprice4185]

[@andalanomanuel9103]

Happy New Year Bently!!! I agree with you. I'm a shooter of all points. When I clock in, I take 1,2,3 All day long and I actually make between $50-$75 for 3hrs. Pending on the day of the week and hot spot area. Bently, very often get orders for $2.00- 2.75 some days. I've realized, the payout depends on a dasher geographical area.

When the app takes me out of my zone, I hit 'end dash' and then 'dash now' in a new zone. I am not waiting for the app to catch up with me. Also, if I ever take a order with a delivery far away, I hit 'pause' and drive back to a busy area and then 'resume dash' so I don't have to decline orders and hurt my acceptance rating.

1-3 miles makes that $6.75 possibly worth it, but probably still decline it because of TIME vs PAY. ITS ALL ABOUT TIME!! Don’t forget every order is a gamble when you are dealing with HIDDEN TIPS!!

[@benjnse]

Commenting on this part way through so perhaps it's addressed, but the thing is at 8:02 you show a dash. Assuming that's indicative of an average dash for you, then you only made 16.24/hour based off of dash time. Now sure if you apply it to active time it's around 23.65/hr. But honestly the only time active time should actually be considered is if you're multi-apping and figuring out which app is what percentage of your time/revenue. So unless you tell me that during that dash time you also made 40 or 50 with another app(s), then once you take into account expenses I question if you made more than min. wage.

[@erinwyche3849]

I take 1 pointers, bc you never know iff you're. A decent dasher if the customer may add on at the end. I have ALOT of customers who add on. A tip after delivery. Just never know.

I must be in a bad area? Average amount for orders than come in are $5-6 with 3-4 miles of travel per order. Over the course of 5-6hrs my orders range from $2 to $11 most nights. I'm also getting a TON of 16mile requests ... for $6-8 dollars that I end up declining.

[@crockett5]

You must live in a different universe.. Good info, but here in FL, I'd never in a million years take a Popyees order because I'd sit there waiting 25 mins. McDonalds around here are the same some of the worst places to get orders. 99% that it's never ready when I get to them and I'll be waiting at least 10 mins. The only time I take McDonalds in my area is if I'm starting my shift because it's the closest place once I'm out I never go to them unless I'm doing EBT for some reason. My issue is I was averaging 20/hr last year, but since the 1st of this year, it's like a light switch flipped off. Can barely average $16-17 anymore and even that doesn't last it goes dead. This entire month I've only made $60-80/day vs before I'd do $120-150. It's like they flipped off the switch.. I've always had bad AR, so I got my AR to 85% and then this week was the worst week I've ever had and I had a high AR. I've tried EBT and did $180 on it the 2nd day then it went dead..

Luv this….agree agree…Thank you!!!!

[@shauncruzvo]

I have trouble getting consistent orders, I get an order then I won’t get another for more than 30 mins and I’m in a “red zone” at the time

[@benyaw876]

Another factor to consider before accepting is the destination. If your drop off is in a dead zone and 15 - 20 minutes away from any potential pick up areas, then that's usually a no for me

[@zanthemeximan]

it depends! what if the pay is $30 or $40? Last night I had to drive 10 miles away from the hotpost, but the pay ended up being $40 instead of the original $30

[@benyaw876]

@zanthemeximan like I said, "to consider before accepting."

[@eleanecosek9590]

Unless it pays well enough for me to get back then, Snatch!

[@v1tam1ns]

@@zanthemeximan Isn't that obvious? Anyone would happily take an order that pays $30-40.... even if it takes you a whole ass hour to complete that's still an amazing rate. He's referring to the orders that are 10 miles out to no where that are only paying $10.

[@zanthemeximan]

@@v1tam1ns where did OP say anything about $10?

[@ewell7763]

I'm in. Thanks , you do a great job on your vids.!

[@JohnKendziorski]

I’m Dasher, average 28-30 dollars an hour, including catering orders. You’re right three-pointers and two pointers are bread and butter, the difference is deciding which one orders to decline, and times of day to work, avoiding busy rush when people are jamming the roads and slowing you down. 4 1/2 months successfully done 2100 with consistent success.

[@edisonjara900]

There have been several instances where a Doordash comes in and it says "tip included" but once the food is delivered, it says that there is zero tip, I don't understand why they miss lead us, or maybe it is a glitch?

[@tiffineythreatt8248]

Bentley I wish that u could do ride alongs... Bc id love for you to see how frustrating my dash experience is... 😢

[@DoordashDiaries]

Can you give me a little insight here??

[@tiffineythreatt8248]

However I'm the 3,2,1 driver... I really try, there's just so many issues and never easy... My ratings are high consistently... But imagine the bs u go through to keep high ratings... long distances, missing orders, customers lying saying they didn't receive even after you've gone above and beyond for them in constant communication about their order substituting items for when the restaurant doesn't have what they want calling texting etc... No tips after that it's crazy out here Bentley... But nevertheless I haven't given up

[@tiffineythreatt8248]

​@@DoordashDiaries A little inside below... And for the record I have a little over 800 lifetime deliveries

[@tiffineythreatt8248]

​@@DoordashDiaries I meant to say insight.. I explained in the comment above the last two... Driving last night's New Year's Eve for example... I started around 7:30 p.m.... I don't know if you have heard of Dash Mart... But I do a lot of pickup and deliveries from there... The money is never terrible... But the distance is... I may get a 12 or $13 delivery but it takes me down near an hour to go there and get back to the hot zone... However I'll drive all night long making these type of orders... The frustration is gas... The money I earn goes right back into the tank most nights... That's just part of it... And I dare not dash during the day... It's like working for free

[@DoordashDiaries]

Thanks

[@nancyr5161]

I live in small town Alabama and I checked out Door Dash in our area and it has a $0 delivery fee on every restaurant! Why? The customer does not tip because of this. I am new like a week old, but why does door dash allow this? Cannot blame the customer if it says $0 delivery fee then why tip especially in this economy. I just don’t get it I love dashing but that is just not right.

[@youngrichiebaby2870]

Thank you Bentley for the motivation It helped alot

[@markfernkopf5133]

Just accepted a $5.50 for 1.5 miles as this video ended Fazoli's , the one pointers add up too , and dont sleep on those shop orders , that's where the real money is hiding now! Thank u Bentley!

[@odddadout]

For real! I consistently run $22+ an hour averages based mostly from doing shopping orders. Walgreens runs for chips and drinks really make my nights. I honestly don't do a lot of restaurants most days

[@markfernkopf5133]

@@odddadout Exactly!! Hy-Vee shop orders, are by far, where most of my income comes from anymore! Usually about half of the Hy-Vee orders include booze too. As long as they're still paying over $2.00 a mile and over $1.00 an item, you can make bank on these orders! Nye I was making $30 an hr doing nothing but Hy-Vee shop orders. My income slowed that day when dinner hit & I had to start waiting at restaurants.

[@traviscarey3871]

Yeah I like Dashing too I’m about to really go more in

[@traviscarey3871]

That being said i do have over 300 deliveries

[@ceez1]

I’m all for being like driver 3 but what do you do when most of your offers are high miles for low pay? If you accept those you are wasting gas and time. Please help me!!!

[@danjennings8899]

I never tale anything from any "steakhouse" type restaurant Food is never ready and the wait is 10 minutes or longer

[@Remont-pcKievUa]

I usually wait 10-20 mins for pizza, steak, sushi or others.. terrible

[@billycheatham2860]

I make 1200 a week every week and i don't do small orders. It doesn't hurt my earnings. I made 72000 last year. Works for me

[@retroplank]

Soooooo, I am just watching your video for the first time. At first, I thought you were a little bit boring.... BUT When you named the 3rd driver Bentley, I literally fell out laughing.... And just subscribed!

[@DoordashDiaries]

🤓 welcome to the fam

[@hardworker1503]

I would appreciate if any one can help me with this question, I do not need a driver license to drive a 50 cc moped in Chicago, how do i get doordash to accept my scooter in their app?

[@dorothyarredondo2067]

I'm so use to accepting immediately because in the past you got dings for not taking orders!

[@SanchoGracie]

Ugh, small town life 😂. So jealous of these results. My entire town is 8 miles end to end.

[@sapien2291]

All you need to know is your market. How much? Or better yet, is there any millionaires that live around you in your city? And what time do they get hungry? Also you need to know what food places have good operations. That way you're in that area and you would want to take every order. It's just like a video game. He who has more points or he who is playing the video game better will always win
