[@jcelldogs]

I agree 100%. The entire idea is horrible and ultimately makes the company that supplies the platform a huge chunk of money. They rip off the drivers, and have pretty much everyone that works on the other end of the spectrum (the restaurant and grocery workers) do more work to prepare these orders as on the menus it allows for ridiculous customization of sandwiches etc that a person wouldn't think to order in a drive thru or in person. So the workers spend more time making these orders as some get ridiculous. I work at a 7/11 and we have to literally shop the orders for the drivers and watch them reap all the benefits from it while no increase in our pay for extra duties. So from that aspect I hate drivers and think they should get a real job that doesn't take advantage of others extra work. The whole point is that the system is terribly flawed and creates animosity between drivers and jobs. I literally make a point to speak my mind to every driver that comes in my store.

But I always think thank God I don’t need to do this full-time because I’ll probably be out there 100 hours. I pick and choose and keep my miles down and I would only go more than a few miles if it was a very decent offer. Which has happened like once. It was like 17 for 10 miles and around here that time of year just to see something double digits it was like yeah plus the last time I delivered for the restaurant it was under a mile and it went up by just shy of 14 bucks. For 10 miles I figured it wasn’t gonna go up from 17 something but I was OK with that and it’s a good thing because it didn’t go up.

The problem is with THE ECONOMY. Inflation is killing people and not as many people are ordering food to be delivered and many of those that are ordering, aren’t tipping as much. And of course, restaurant prices have gone up, so that contributes to less people ordering. The DoorDash problems are just symptoms of much larger issues in this country.

They don't send me nearly as many offers that make sense for me to take, but I get a good one every 5-6 they throw me and I usually have another lined up before I finish my last. I feel like I spend more time sitting around waiting on DD to send me something. Uber eats keeps me moving and if they have an offer that's horrible and being declined, they will continue to raise the base pay and send it back out to you. I far prefer it and for the DD customers that I do get to speak with, I tell them that Uber eats takes better care of it's contracted drivers. I also tell them not to use the priority delivery on DD because it doesn't truly exist and I tell them if they plan on tipping big and want their driver to see all of it, they should tip just enough to get the order picked up and give the remainder in cash when the driver shows up. I just don't trust DD to be fully transparent at all.🤷

I spend so much on gas, car maintenance & repairs etc. the worst part about it is when tax time comes you are going to be owing the IRS thousands of dollars if you’ve done it full time like I did.

[@joerocker3029]

@@bertolucasfilms "full time" drivers tend to understand the app better. we knew how to make money on the platform by being more selective. what doordash wants are honeymooners. these are new drivers who take everything because they get a larger share of better orders. after the honeymoon they get a larger share of trash orders. lets say half of your orders are 8-10 bucks, you're much more willing to take the lower paying offers because you're making money. but once the honeymoon ends and you're not making the money you're less willing to take those trash orders and you stop doing doordash. there are far more regular drivers than honeymooners. say there are 100 drivers in your area, 10-20 of them are honeymooners and are getting all the good orders. 80-90 are long term drivers. doordash doesnt care that you're not making money, they are going to milk drivers as much as they can until they quit. they have very low overhead on drivers. base pay is 2 dollars and they're probably making 15 dollars an order. there is no pressure on DD to give a larger share of the money to drivers when they can just hire another driver when they get burned out. thats probably why he's saying that DD doesnt want full time drivers, they want the revolving door of new drivers who just take order until they go broke and get sick of it. make no mistake, you WILL go broke driving for doordash, its just a matter of time. how long will you continue to take trash orders after your honeymoon until you realize theres too many drivers for the share of decent orders. this is why drivers are always complaining about either low base pay or low tip. DD does NOTHING to help the driver. they dont incentivize the customers to give higher ratings (customers only rate when there is a problem, thus low ratings), they dont inform the customers on the actual role of the drivers (bags are sealed but drivers get low rating when items are missing), they dont do enough to promote better tipping from the customers (imform the customer about high milage or fair tipping practices). DD doesnt give the ability for drivers to rate customers (rudeness, no lights on at house, dogs, lack of response etc) most customers order doordash and never look at their phone again, they dont add tips. all year, ive had 1, 1 single customer add a couple bucks after delivery, and in 4 months ive made $15 dollars in cash tips $10 of that from one customer. 90% of my customers never even respond or look at messages or have hand it to me and never show up at the door adding 5 more minutes to the delivery and i have to stand outside the door like a creepy stalker waiting on that 5 minute timer. If DD allowed drivers to rate customers, and customers had to pay more when they have low ratings then shit would change real fast. sadly, DD wants new drivers and high volume of low quality. remember, DD makes the same amount of money regardless if the customer tips. they just want volume. they simply do not care if customers tip. long winded, but there;s your answer.

I completely agree. My market is saturated to the point where I can't dash now or schedule. Getting out or it altogether in a few weeks.

I went from top dasher 100+ deliveries a week to 6 in the last 30 days.I have good status and can almost never schedule a dash . So I can't get 100 a 100 deliveries to get platium. I'm pretty much done with door dash.

[@danguts2844]

100 a week is good, you should have gotten rockin orders that are catering orders and good alcohol orders etc..Weird you cant schedule on DD as I can with an AR of 7%. Must be the market you are in. But I am steering way from DD to other apps until I land my job but platinum is way easier on UE vs DD aslong as you have a good customer ratings. AR doesnst exist anymore on GH or UE but only on DD.

its not based on how far you have to drive and its the same as its always been. The base pay no matter how far the order or the size of it its always $2. It goes up .25 for every time the order has been declined by other drivers. If your base pay for example is $5 that means that 12 drivers have already declined the order before you got it

Yeah it's typical.. higher ratings a driver has all equal higher mileage offers.. the thing is.. over the extended period of the dash the miles to money ratio keeps shrinking until it's at best a 1:1 ratio.

It's nothing personal it's a programmed algorithm..it just tends to out last most people's resolve.. LoL

I haven’t been doing DD for a few months now. It honestly gave me a bad attitude and I always questioned myself if DD was keeping my tips. I wondered who was behind thinking I’m not worth more than a base pay. DD does not appreciate the people who make it happen for them. After gas, maintenance and taxes, it’s not worth it but especially feeling like you’re not valued by either the company or the customer is toxic.

Quite often I see " $5.00 for 16 miles (one way) " offers. Sometimes I end up declining 3-4 offers in a row which brings down my AR quite significantly, and then somehow it takes TWICE the ACCEPTED offers to bring the AR back up to where it was ( strange how that percentage rate works)

I left after the implementation of this latest tier program ... I'll have to take bullshit orders for weeks to get back to where I can get a half decent chance to schedule a shift .

BUt 4 out of 5 of those orders being 'trash' Mostly low tip / no tip orders ...

So these drivers causing the saturation are top dashers (or platinum if you have rewards) , who can dash anytime they wish, unscheduled?
