Accepting EVERY DoorDash Dasher Offer For EIGHT Hours

[@YourDriverMike]

⚡Here's the BEST strategy for every offer type you'll see as a Dasher: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYKpkqCjZpyLpqc&t

[@MazdaAddict]

I start dashing Saturday, can't wait!

[@ashlaunicaalpari4584]

In my area the pay is garbage. Your area may be better though

[@barndude5562]

I think you should try to follow this with a similar challenge of cherry picking. That way we would get a fair comparison! Turn all the food apps on & take the best offers for 8 hrs!

[@mluterancik]

There's no comparison. Cherry picking while multi apping wins every time.

[@AJAJ-s9w]

In addition to their low paying base wages. They often allow customers to take advantage of drivers by no tipping or low balling tips.

[@AJAJ-s9w]

There has been one consistent and very clear result in all of these videos. If you take every single order that comes into your phone. Your going lose money and be severely upside down in your dollar to mile ratio.

[@MichaelMeasho-s9s]

Net loss all day! The worst part is the mental draining, you feel stupid and you took your car down with you as well. Your labor and your car feeling worthless

[@TheSideGigGuru]

Unfortunately this shift just taught the algorithm you will take the crappiest offers and you will see many more for the foreseeable future

[@Link380090]

FACT

[@MMikemezta]

I'm pretty sure doordash intentionally makes it harder for you to make better pay

[@artieanderson604]

Oh yeah....get too many deliveries and the money drops to nothing and the distance you have to drive to earn enough to put gas in your tank? Prohibitive. Be kind to yourself. Take a few days off.

[@rappy90]

@@artieanderson604 I'll go during lunch or dinner for and hour, maybe 2 hours max, the moment orders slow down or start having unrealistic distances I log off.

[@mattbauer6304]

Just like every corporation.

[@JamesDavisMakes]

I've been thinking a lot about that recently. My last DoorDash run I had 4 hours of dash time and 45 minutes of active time. In California, we have some nice benefits -- one of which is a quarterly healthcare stipend if you work a certain number of hours per week ($735 for 15 hours per week, $1470 for 25+ hours). I have weeks of like 40 dash hours but less than 10 active hours (and that's not with like cherrypicking, I have hours of receiving 0 orders total). I'm trying to do the thing but DoorDash is actively not serving me enough orders. They control the algorithm and the benefits of the algorithm, it's really messed up.

[@stevewoodyt]

I tried earn by time the other day. The first two customers I ended up with both tipped well. The third offer was a stack going opposite directions both without tip. Tanked my earnings quick.

[@Edsecondstocomply]

As a danger I see some of the other dashers around here . . . I absolutely do not want some of these folks opening and looking at my food. I'd rather get a wrong order tbh

[@MikeLockheart]

I accepted all orders in my market for 3 weeks, and I ended up losing 60$ in lost gas cost. So I earned -60$ for working 3 weeks

[@MikeTalk]

Taking photo of receipt to protect your rating is for dashers who grab incorrect orders from the restaurant and the customer gets another person’s order. That’s my theory. I’ve only had to do it once so far. Maybe it prompts you to do it more often if orders aren’t getting delivered correctly.

[@matthewnanes]

I have to do it A LOT and I have a 4.9 rating. Super weird.

[@MikeTalk]

@@matthewnanes the place I had to do it at is a Taco Bell and that location just leaves it unsupervised on the counter for anyone to grab so that might be another cause

[@Sun_Henry_Connie]

One time i had a double order. I separated them in the bins in my car to make it Impossible to confuse the orders. I dropped off the first order, and was having problems getting to the screen of the second customers address and called door dash. I finally figured out the app wanted a picture of the order Before its delivered. So i turned The bag to photograph the information and saw the customer name and at that moment realized i had made a dyslexic move and handed customer 1, the order that belonged to customer 2. So I went back to customer 1 to give them the correct order. I was less than a mile from the restaurant, but the restaurant would not give me the order twice DD called and asked them too. I felt so bad for the customer who had to cancel and start over because i made an airhead mistake. But now that i understand that, i am finding it easier to complete orders after its delivered.

[@MikeTalk]

@@Sun_Henry_Connie @ that’s why I triple or quadruple check things. Sometimes a customer will ask me if I double checked something and in my head I’m like I don’t think you understand my commitment to accuracy, I double-double checked already 😂

[@datazndood]

@@matthewnanesme too, 4.9 over 2,300 deliveries. I messed up a few when I started out but never now and still required to take photos. Little inconvenience but I’ll do it to protect myself from customer fraud, can’t hurt.

[@moonie7155]

Please show us the payouts on each EBT order. Im curious to see how it is in other markets

[@AJAJ-s9w]

The apps want to pay minimum. In fact, if it was possible. They would make drivers pay to have the privilege of delivering their orders.

[@isaacelliott4893]

This video was a really good mix of almost everything DoorDash has to give with their offer types. I'm hoping you made at least $85!

[@YourDriverMike]

I got almost every Dasher offer type and even a lot of new stuff! Thanks for watching

[@alishathelibra1021]

Here in Illinois most restaurants have us confirm orders on the spot, then if a prompt to take a pic of the receipt comes up, you can take it there showing ÿour full order with drinks, then restaurants aren't liable.

[@bryantaronnjones]

Caines is definitely faster than 5 Guys! Ive ordered for a customer and myself and gotten both orders by the time I filled all our drinks lol

[@nextshotsonme]

Dasher: I’m going to take every offer for 8 straight hours! Also Dasher: but not this one

[@croszdrop1]

sometimes It seems like the algorithm plays game with you. It be like; Today, you get every catering order. Every order $12+ under 8 miles and a new close order immediately after delivery in the same zipcode. Then other days its all 5$ +12 miles through construction zones where you have to drive an extra 6 miles to get to apartments that have no signs for the address numbers xD.

[@YourDriverMike]

Not this Dasher, I accepted every offer I was sent!

[@AJAJ-s9w]

Why do Tubers keep doing this foolish challenge? I have seen numerous videos over the past years of other Utubers doing this vary challenge.

[@AJAJ-s9w]

The only real differdence is the time spent doing them has been different. There has been one thing consistent with all of them. If you take every single order that comes into your phone. Your going lose money and be upside down in your earnings.

[@AJAJ-s9w]

There are just too many upside down orders for this challenge to be profitable or make any kind of sense.

[@christopherduryea7966]

I think it’s a great thing that DoorDash wants you as a dasher to verify with the restaurant staff the customers order at the time of pick up. Customers can claim item’s missing from their order. Finger pointing can start from the customer- dasher / dasher to the customer /&/or restaurant. Remember in the past, dasher wind up paying for customer missing item.

[@gtaxlondon]

Why would they want their drivers carrying change for cash on delivery or even carrying cash at all? As if its not dangerous enough smh

[@YourDriverMike]

Yeah I don't love the idea of COD, had it turned off in Preferences prior to this

[@jasonhardin8383]

I didn't do cash on delivery. I didn't want to have to be responsible for taking back an order or responsible for paying for an order. Returning an order takes more away from your time making money. The only time I don't mind returning an order is when I'm using Spark due to me heading back to that area anyway.

[@gtaxlondon]

@@jasonhardin8383 on returning items, one time Uber gave me a gopuff alcohol order for some White Claws I took as my last gig because it was going a few blocks from my apartment. Its like 12am and I’ve gone over my 12 hour driving limit but there was no address on the order after pick up 😮 I hit the navigate button anyway and it took me to an apartment building basically where I thought it would so I called the customer, no answer. Called support and they said if customer doesnt answer I had to return the item to gopuff almost 30 mins away! I told them I had an emergency and couldnt do the return. after a 15 min phone battle being threatened w potential deactivation and then threatened to lose my alcohol delivery privileges they just said eff it throw the alcohol away. Never taking a gopuff order again uber cant even contact the customer which is not my fault or my problem. Just drank the last white claw yesterday lol

[@LJohnson88]

Every time I decline some low paying $3-$5 order another one pops up within ten seconds and it’s triple the low offer or higher. DoorDash really makes me mad.

[@croszdrop1]

Seems to do this when you are very close to losing top priority or about to gain it. I imagine they do it intentionally to people who are flagged as not everyday drivers or maybe its a bit of round robin. If they have too many people on platinum that dash everyday then no one will get constant good orders.

[@datazndood]

@@croszdrop1People who dash everyday should get priority vs weekend drivers I think for putting in the sweat equity. Since you’re banking on risky venture of no insurance or safety net recourse for a job should you be deactivated. Weekenders have a job waiting in Monday if things don’t work out.

[@patricethorpe9430]

True. So maddening

[@Sparky00024]

What makes me mad is when I decline an offer then it sends me it again for less money then again like the first two declines meant as much to them as a woman’s no means to a r@pi$t. I said no the first time for a reason, don’t try to make me take it for less at that then penalize me for saying no multiple times. No means no, not ask me until maybe I change my mind.

[@spinninggood]

Lol they might be mad but they are laughing at you. Lol

[@LawPope]

I felt sick when you took those sub dollar offers and 3 bucks for 30 minutes. Thats crazy!!! The mental and financial abuse you take to make amazing contention is truly important.

[@bgibb3288]

It's not the end of the world

[@JordanWilliams89]

Also I am HERE for your delivery merch!!!! Please link me as soon as you have them!!! I’ve been trying to make a list of the super cheap gear I’m using since I know a lot of us are broke lol.

[@mertermert8338]

I’m at Platinum level here in Long Island NY, have 100% acceptance and completion and still get $3 earn by hour trips. Also get sent to every single zone in Suffolk County…. 8 hour average is $150.

[@patricethorpe9430]

It isn’t pay per hour! It is pay per MINUTE. $16.50 / 6o minutes = $.27.5. A minute. It really is a bad choice in most areas. It works really well in rural areas. Especially with several small towns spread across the work area.

[@stephenjohnson5589]

Do a dashlink video. I’ve never had those offers.

[@hebrews11vs5]

I like this kind of video. I did guess on that poll: $20+ per hr. I was wrong. That $17.5 per hr gross is a bit rough.

[@JR79511]

How about a show dedicated to moped/motorcycle deliveries?

[@KingDavid866]

Hey Mike, I got a question. I don't currently own a car, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to finance a car for doordash, uber, Etc part-time. Monthly payment about on The car would be about $430. I'm thing about getting a toyota camry 2023-24 with low mileage. Plus I would have no intention of selling this car in the future?

[@donnak.8422]

I've always considered that too. I do have a vehicle, but it's an suv and not easy on gas. Luckily, I, for the most part, only dd in my town of pop. 24,000 & most everything is 5 miles or under. Most days, I sit in my driveway until I get an offer; normally that's within a minute or 2!

[@AJAJ-s9w]

Every single order should be profitable. Unfortunately, that is not the case with neither Doordash or Ubereats.

[@riggsvsoliver]

Uber eats is the Wild West for fricken profitability

[@nocturnus6]

It's been said a million times, letting the customer get away with a low or no tip order actually hurts the customer, because they will get their order late or not at all.

[@zishere48]

Hear me out. The best way to use these gig apps is to expect not to make any money. I look for 2 dollars a mile, including my trip back to a hotspot. When I have the most success is when I just out running errands with it on in my back pocket. Otherwise, you end up waiting in your car for an hour for something actually good.

[@tehKJM]

Last time I did this. $160 in 9.5 hours. Horrible. Used 70 in gas

[@tehKJM]

I am from canada tho. Extremely over saturated here

[@rodneyeccles]

The problem with NOT cherry picking to try and up your hourly rate is that you can easily get $20/hr or more at many fast food joints you are going to deliver for. Not to mention you don't put all those miles on your car and thus you dont have to deal with the maintenance costs. Trust me, the tax deduction doesn't even begin to cover the gas and maint on most vehicles. A wheel alignment will cost you up to $200 bucks but those shocks/struts will cost you north of 1200 bucks. These apps know what they are doing. They get paid even when you don't. So is it really worth the time and effort and wear and tear on your car to go for the bonuses on high acceptance rates? I dont think so.

[@donnak.8422]

wow, only 12 tippers out of 22! That was fun to watch!

[@robwest5729]

Idk if I'm doing it wrong or not, but I accept pretty much everything and make 20 an hour. I'm also a platinum VIP dasher with a 95% acceptance.

[@AstroEscape]

I just did similar with Uber Eats on 10/29, but 12 hours.... also in PGH. I went to pretty much every corner of Allegheny county. Most people tipped which was nice. I only declined when it was less than $2 AND it wasn't already on the way to something else in a stack. Did get one real nice stack of three though, pickups along Greentree Rd in Scott Township and two out of three were dropoffs at the same hotel in Green Tree . Last one was up on Grandview but it made the hour of three come out to a nice $24/hr. I ended the night learning that Uber kicks you off and says get some rest. Also, what's with this thing of restaurants telling you to confirm the order? I have half a mind for the slow restaurants that do that to tell them, "Did I tell you to hurry up? Don't tell me how to do my job, I won't do the same to you."

[@jamesdale6081]

No offense meant, but do you even Doordash regularly anymore? There's like 5 things in this video you seem astonished by that happen almost daily.

[@richardbianco9674]

Always click confirm in the store with the pic requirement being random

[@josephstephans627]

I can't do every offer as I live in Chicago and there are unsafe areas. One to the East and one to the West. Are there not any unsafe areas in Pittsburgh that you would not deliver to?

[@falynnworld2084]

Be safe in Chicago ❤

[@TrackTownDasher]

I got a free pizza bag at pizza hut or something. Cash on delivery isn't worth sweating over. Never had an issue with needing change

[@TheMark9013]

About every 3 orderes i have to take a picture of the recipt.

[@nighthawk8412]

Hopefully KZbin will broadcast the video at 1:30 PM MST (I live near Denver btw). Oftentimes they'll say the video starts at a certain time but it will not start then. I get that they base it off of the Creator's time zone. But they don't put that in the description. That causes people who aren't aware of that discrepancy to feel like KZbin cannot tell time. So now I always joke that 1:30 PM can be as early as 11:30 AM or as late as 2:30 PM for videos that go live from a creator in the US.

[@Dazlidorne]

Do you think you were punished for not taking the Dashlink offer and that is the reason it took 30 mins to get another offer?

[@wsfnbystephanielynnc]

Hey Mike! I love you! I've missed you! You got me because you are a homie! I'm born and raised in Pittsburgh! I love all our sports teams, and I love you bro!🥰 You're working where I lived.😆This was fun Mike. Thanks!🙏🏾❤💯

[@Dazlidorne]

It usually asks to take a pic of receipt when you have a stacked order so you don't mix the two up on delivery.

[@travisc5394]

lol I did the same thing. I’m not going back in the store to take a picture. DoorDash is trying to make us look crazy

[@TopTier82]

I made $90 and also 30+ in tips last night on pizza deliveries... That's definitely my favorite part of dashing

[@ericberry6557]

I wonder if cash on delivery is only with pizza places and can any customer do it at.any restaurant and if so is door dash going to expand cod to other retailers

[@baham2764]

DoorDash has started to suspend Dasher accounts in California to avoid paying adjustments! Accusing derivers of prolonging the trips!

[@Dazlidorne]

22:58. You will get more no tip deliveries when doing EBT. That is most of the reason that DD has it, but you will still get tips and I've even had customers tip in cash while doing EBT.

[@treylord]

Can you make a vid where you go on a dash link and tell us about your experience and show us some insight

[@joeybaseballs4424]

@YourDriverMike Hey Mike when cherry picking you recommend to aim for at least $2/mile orders? I always thought it $1.75/mile and at least a $7 dollar payout per order. Meaning if it’s a stacked order of 2 at least $14 a long again with$1.75/mile. Thank you sir for the advice.

[@darrickhorsey]

[@gtaxlondon]

Number of drop offa dont affect your $/mi ratio? If its 12.56 for 5 mi but its 2 drop offs I probably wont take it assuming at least one didnt tip and the non tippers are always an issue for me

[@patriot4095]

So since the cash tip was in the offer… do you claim it in taxes or did DoorDash already factor that in?

[@jordanb5397]

There should be a way to switch dash types without ending your dash entirely to switch. I schedule for 6-10 hrs a day. And if I want to switch from by offer to by time I have to end my dash which kills my entire scheduled time.

[@jamiemichelle1291]

THIS!!!

[@blazedones]

Why not schedule for a hr at a time? it's what i do and doesn't mess you up to much, at max a 15 min wait and during that time i run other apps.

[@Badboyben1422]

One thing i hate about Doordash is getting an order that's far for a good price lile 3-5 miles for +10 or more dollars and then getting a second order for the same distance or further for a much lower amount like 2-3$

[@kylefielder9664]

What did the triple Wing Stop pay?

[@antoniowilkinson5962]

Ok... all of you have your experience and explain it as a basis or that is the way to run or do door dash... I think it's all about you... I have 100 percent acceptance and 100 percent delivery of 472 in last 24 days right at 3k would've been alot more due to my key not able to start my truck and cost a very nice penny that completely knocked me off the loop. 700 and 900 a week is pretty good to me. And yes that's every order accepted.

[@rodneyeccles]

Depends on the time of day. The ones around me put your order in line as it comes in even with in person orders. I usually am only waiting for fries. And if a new order comes in after you arrive, they are behind you in the cue. So on off hours, I am waiting no more than a few minutes for the fries to cook.

[@evelynvasquez8307]

I've had more than one Taco Bell tell me they have to clear drive thru before they will do a Doordash order. Always a wait at Taco Bell!

[@LLStacheLarry]

How do you know when you are out of your zone. When you are active you can't see the map.

[@SimoneFrancesReed]

It tells you once you've dropped off the order. If the new zone you're in is busy, it'll ask if you want to switch zones. If it's not busy, it'll just tell you you're out of your scheduled zone and that they'll look for offers while you return to your scheduled zone. The area you're in will sometimes be marked in a reddish like net graphic until you reach your scheduled zone. Then, once you're back in your scheduled zone, it'll tell you you've arrived. Lol. Can you tell my metro takes me out of my scheduled zone a lot? 🤣

[@WilliamWills-n3t]

In our area you have to schedule the times you want to dash and some times are not available.

[@HangingWithMelissa]

The reason you have to schedule is because your acceptance rate is low. Higher acceptance rates do not have to schedule. They can just go. My acceptance rate is low so I have to do it this way. I hope that helps. It has to be over 50%.
