What is this thing with charity orders lately? Some people have been saying similar things in Facebook groups. I'm going to sound cold but hear me out. If you can afford all the DD fees you can afford to tip. If you are destitute you can take the same amount of money you'd spend on DD to the store and buy 5 times as much food. Or if you really want to treat yourself you can order directly from the restaurant and pick it up yourself and save the money you'd spend on fees. I was once on welfare. I was one of the destitute. I would never have wasted what little money I had on these fees. I'm not saying I never treated myself, I did so responsibly. Heck, I won't pay the fees now and although not rich I am far from destitute. All that said, I do occasionally take a charity order but I'm not believing for a moment that what I'm doing is a good deed in the world by helping some destitute mother feed her 5 kids outback steakhouse but who can't afford to tip me for bringing it to them. *stepping off soapbox*
Congrats on getting off welfare and on your way to thriving! I totally agree with you on that. I used to pay the fees but if i dont have the money im gonna ge tit myself or even not order out.
Love your motivation bruh, you motivate me to keep grinding!!! There are DEFINITELY strategies in dashing, I starting out only making 40 to 60 a day, now im banging out up 125 a day some days--- Making mistakes is part of learning so whoever reads this don't give up trying, your mistakes don't define you, how u learn from them n become better thats refinement!!! Thank you for the awesome videos keep up the good energy bruh 💯 💪 🙌 🙏
I’ve tried but I’m my town is DEAD no hours no work and is too many dashers here I have to travel 1 hour from my small town to make in a day what I should of made in a week so is hard where I live I wish I can be making $100-$150 daily I can only make it on weekends since I have kids in school
@@JesusismyKingPsalms I live in a city with a bunch of restaurants it seems as though these opportunities are mostly likely for the larger cities, I do better on weekend days also seems to be busier on those days--- Sorry that it hasn't worked out for u so far, driving a hour away to dash def isn't ideal....
Yeah, they're getting very close to it for me. Having my order ready for 30 mins when I asked twice, and said they were still making wings....order is just on the rack shelf like, heeeeey, present MOFO. Smdh.
@@ThistleRealm i stopped taking orders from them 2 years ago and DD will still send them to me. I declaine every time. I will not pick up from them i dont care if i parked right in front of the place.....they are dead to me
panda express in my area at least is blacklisted. every time I go in there they havent even started preparing the order. they only focus on the customers in the restaurant.
I remember one time I was waiting at a restaurant for a half hour. It was crazy busy. Never again will I do that. It was a stack order and I made $15+ off the two orders but still. That’s definitely something I’ll keep in mind as I move forward
The worst. Blacklist. Even worse is instead of delivering to a house where someone at least has flexibility these people are often stuck in their store on the 3rd floor of the mall
I hear you saying to make sure you are using your time well. Minimize activities that do not earn you money. Staring at the ceiling waiting for the food to cook is not earning you money.
The way I work it is I never accept an order less than $6 and any order over that I do accept has to pay out at least a $1 per mile. Minimum I make $200 a day full time.
Hello thanks for Sharing ya info, I just stated few days ago and made up to 88 bucks so for could had probably made more got hungry tired needed shift.lol But my question is How many deliveries you so to hit $125.00 a day ?
Funny because I was just about to give up to go back to a clock in job because of the staleness of the orders here in Houston. Thanks to this video I’m learning to correct my mistakes!
Been doing doordash again after about two years of working in a resturant. Thanks for all the videos and tips my dude they are being put to good use out here in Texas.
I used to have Taco Bell and KFC on my Blacklist. Since they no longer require you to order the food or use the red card I take orders from these restaurants. Reevaluating restaurants is a must do tip!
Agreed! Taco Bell popped up as a stacked order. I was hesitant but it was an extra $6 for an extra half a mile. I figured the payout was worth the gamble. Glad I rolled the dice!!
I just wanted to say thank you for helping me find hope and opportunity when I lost my job. I can now spend more time with my family while still being able to make what I did before and more when I want to. Happy birthday, my friend. Thank you for your knowledge.
Hey Bentley, I have done a charity order each day.Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I really enjoy your videos. Those low ball tips really do aggravate me. Keep the information rolling in.
I think we all have black list areas. Like I'm not going across the river to Cincinnati unless I see a double digit payout. I usually have to kill my dash after I get 5 in a row. Wendy's here are pretty good and the ones in Denver were awesome for breakfast. Poppies needs to nationality cancel their door dash service, better for all involved.
I am sick of people not tipping. Can't afford to fix my vehicle due to no tips. The base pay is just too low for my area when I have to travel 5 plus miles per dash.
Why would you accept an order without a tip? I make $200 a day $25 an hour, I’ll never accept an order under $7 you guys do know acceptance rate doesn’t affect anything right?
That's a double edge sword because sometimes people tip cash and in every case I got a$10-20 cash tip. I try to focus on the payout vs miles vs frustration to decide. Some areas of town just never tip and unfortunately that means my services never go there, the slap in the face is what pisses me off about the non tip.
Or no tip. I got a stacked delivery tonight for same restaurant, $12 payout for total of 1.9 miles. After I accepted it I see the $55 delivery is $4 payout🤬 So I stay positive & just have mind set to get them done & move on. Dropped off 1st one that was $8 payout with no prob & headed to the next. On arrival there was no apartment # & no # for the call box to get in building. Call customer, its the wrong #. Contact DD & after 30 freaking mins of them going back & forth with restaurant they say complete delivery & move on. So as I was preparing to leave at apartment building door & take pic this chic walks out like "oh, there you are"🤯🤨🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I explained I had been there 30 mins & how she gave me no info. She blamed app & walked away. Never tipped even a DOLLAR ON $55
3 года назад
They want you to do all that for no tip. You only getting the base pay crazy
Happy Birthday, I’m so thankful for you and your insight. God bless you my friend. I’m a 57 year old wife and mom and DD had helped our family greatly🙌
Blacklist? DECLINE!! More than 10 mins? UNASSIGNED!! Independent 🍒 Picker? I am 😊👍🏽😂 GOOD STUFF BROTHER!! I KNEW YOU WERE A 🍒 PICKER I JUST LET YOU CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL IT 😂😂 Let’s get this money!!
Top tier advice! Im starting out on DD and I already have some restaurants that I will not go near. Now I'm working on scheduling and figuring out the trends in my area!
Hey Bentley those are my pet peeves too and I swear when things like that happen it's the devil at work! Thanks for all your great vids. I am planning on ordering some merch soon. This channel has been a great help. 👍🏾
These are all great points! I'll also add, sometime peak pay isnt worth it if the area is oversaturated with dashers. Dont be afraid to move to a lower paying area if you arent getting orders!
This is a great tip. In my area, DoorDash often puts out a $1.50-$2 peak pay out during Thursday nights and weekends and it draws so many ppl so I leave the area. I make much more money else where during no peak pay times/no peak pay times when those are out.
I needed this vid. I wasn't looking to quit but I DEFINITELY was missing out on potential income. I wasn't taking delivery driving as seriously as I should have because I didn't want to go to bigger areas to do this. I live in a smaller area but live maybe 25 mins from a larger area and about 30-35 mins from a city. I guess I was just terrified of the unknown as you put it. I have been inconsistently dashing for about a week now maybe an hour here or there but certainly nowhere near on yall's level! I wanted to do this to save to open my own massage therapy studio but started to think it wouldn't be possible. Thank you for changing my outlook.
Lol! Popeyes just has an awful rep at this point. I only went to Popeyes once where the food was waiting for me to grab it. But I still waited 6 minutes for the clerk to get it for me.
I used to have really bad issues withh popeyes, stopped going for a while, now people who order from there tip higher and the wait isnt as long which is nice, but some of the employees like to ignore me and help people who come in after me and other dashers so it still takes me a while, the restaurant is kinda halfway into the ghetto and im typically the only white guy there so i miiiiiight know why, some of the guys there are cool tho, but the cool guys for some reason arent the ones at the counter, which sucks cause they have more carasma in the first place anyways, pretty cool that they try to talk to people from the back of the kitchen and help them out
Never understood why anyone would wait more than 10-15 mins for any order? Time is definitely money in the GigGame. If I get there and the order isnt ready, I give them 5-10 mins, unassign, and wait in that same lot for that same time, another and usually better order will come through.
He keeps saying. Reassign? I don't see that option when thos happens to me. Does he mean smash the cancel button? Cause they give me a big nasty warning when I do that!
Took your advice on rethinking my blacklist. Took an order from my list about 30 days after being blacklisted and it was so much better. Seed and pick up was so much faster. Thanks for the great video's you have helped me so much. Even though I only do this part time.
McDonald’s on my blacklist after hours. The line is crazy. And chic fil a in my area inside isn’t open still and they make us wait in the line. Never will pick up from these again (and Popeyes)
Maybe it’s different in other areas but Panera 100% belongs on the blacklist, I’ve had multiple unacceptable waits there and one employee was actually kind enough to inform me that they don’t actually receive DoorDash orders until a Dasher accepts it, and then after that they have a half hour window to make the order. Now Factor that in with the fact that they have to make all of the bread fresh every day which takes up a decent amount of time and they are a fairly popular and busy restaurant in general for dine in.
Yooo...bout to get busy with this DOORDASH GIG...Ive been looking and also subscribed to your channel...research and development per say...gotta JUMP IN and rock...I KNOW everything Ive seen from your channel will come to light...KEEP IT MOVIN...
I had an order today that was $278 for a company. My tip was $2 and that was from DoorDash. I’m still blown away at how inconsiderate some places are. I was actually on a double order and didn’t see how big the order was until I went to pick up the order. I called DoorDash thinking something went wrong and they pretty much blew me off. I hate when this happens.
@@dcg31free Thank you! I think my phone is too small to show me all of the orders but if I just need to click on their name I think I can figure it out.
So one thing to consider is not to always take what the app shows as payout to heart. Today went out for a Dash and it said it was going to be a pay of $10. In the end I earned $18 from the order. Sometimes the app does not always show right. Thank you so much for the help with making the transition into Dashing so smooth. Made $100 today and it feels great.
I recently had to add Papa John's to 'The Blacklist' because they are keeping the tips and giving doordash drivers flat rates as low as $3 a delivery. Even before doordashing I've never ordered a pizza and given the driver less than $5.
Excellent tips! I let myself get lax in scheduling and it hurt me. Also, a Chipotle that was an easy 30-45 minutes wait and therefore solidly on my blacklist got some new staff and is now a good source of deliveries.
1. Learn to unassign. Do not wait more than 15 minutes. Most deliveries here in the DMV take at least 20 minutes from accept to complete. That's 3 an hour and wack af. I try to get at least 4 an hour or more if busy. 2. Have a standard. I have a 6 dollar minimum. Sometimes the stacked orders will low ball the second order. Chumps. 3. Examine the preview ACCEPT screen. Take your time and choose wisely. CHOOSE! 4. Be assertive (and nice) at the restaurants. Sometimes they're good other times they suk ballz. We all are human. I usually end dash if I notice that I am being a tool. Peace Y'all😷
Tip #6. If the area you are working is not producing, go somewhere else. A lot of drivers want to work the area they live in because they know the area and it's comfortable. If you can make an additional $5 per hour in a zone that is 20-30 minutes away, it's well worth the drive to work that area. I have several different areas I work. I start with the one closest to home, and if it's producing, I stay there. If it isn't producing, I move to my next area, and keep doing that until I find the money.
that's really good advice because I see areas around me that are constantly hotter than my area and usually pay a dollar more and are busier. I'm getting a new car next week specifically for this gig and I'll start during day hours so I can familiar with those areas and won't be afraid to venture there during the evening hours. How do I know how far an area is from me?
I got stuck at wingstop last friday with two orders....It was a $+5 promotion per order....the two orders together paid $24, but i waited 40 miutes, and then the promotion was over.
I will wait 15 minutes if that money is $15 because I dash in Houston Texas. oversaturated and it really sucks and I'm lucky to make $15 an hour. But I get you and I do hate those wait times and the traffic here is disgusting
I have 2 cars.......a '05 Scion Xa for Doordash/Uber Eats and Roadie only and a 2011 Toyota Venza for Doordash, Uber and Lyft. I'd never lease for delivery. You can find an older 4banger for dirt cheap. (My Scion was $3500 and had only 30k miles when I bought it 3 years ago)
I've found a fairly successful way to offset long waits at a restaurant. I text my customer and say (Hello,Jeff with Door Dash. I am at the restaurant waiting on your order. Once its done I'm omw - drive is approx xx minutes. Ill lyk when omw.) Then once I am out of the lot I send "omw," Not only is the customer happy to get an update. They also aren't upset with you for it taking long. And it makes them aware that you are having to spend more time on their delivery. Also, I text every customer an update when omw. I typically include their name. It feels more personal to them. I also put my name so it humanized you and again more personal. Not just delivery driver. I find my tips go up from the acceptance amount significantly more often. Hope that helps!! The only bad part is I feel locked in once I msg the customer to see the order to completion out of respect for them. Oh and I always wait till first order is dropped off before notifying 2nd customer of est time whe. Delivering stacked orders.
Lately when I do deliveries that are 8+ miles I sometimes will go on the customer dash app and type the customers address in and then go to order from where they ordered from. And I see like 5$ or $6 delivery fee.. but yet I only got $3.50-$4 base pay... WtfBro.. So doordash makes money off the restaurant, the customer in fees, and steals part of the delivery fee that the customer thinks is 100% going to us.. which it should.. maybe that's part of the reason tips are average to lousy usually
noticed that when I delivered an order 8 miles out of my scheduled zone tonight. The offer was initially 8.50.. when I dropped it off, clicked the complete delivery and the happy or sad face popped up, I clicked the sad face and then the "far distance, low base pay and then the something else where I commented that I had to now drive 15-20 minutes to get back into my zone before they would send me another order. When I completed my comments, like magic.. an 11.00 tip plus a $4 base pay appeared making it a 15.00 order instead of the 8.50 they initially offered when I accepted it. So yes, they are certainly trying to get by with not giving us the full tip.
@@karensanders2221 the 8.50 orders are almost always more than 8.50. I'd say about 1 or 2 orders out of every ten $8 50 orders I get actually end up being only 8.50. About 2 months ago, I did an experiment. My acceptance rate was about 65-80% then. 2 months ago I started only accepting orders that were $6+ and 1.50+ per mile. Over the next couple weeks, I dropped down to like 35% acceptance. I went from working 50 hours a week to make $1000/week to now I had to work 60 to 70 hours and would only make 900 to 1000/week. It really fucked me up, especially when my acceptance rate dipped below like 50 to 60%. As soon as I got it back up to above 60%, I started making a lot more money and getting way more orders and a lot more high paying order again. I'm currently at like 75% acceptance and they literally have almost always been sending me orders that are $1+ per mile. I've only had to decline like 1 to 2 out of every 10 offers this past week. Been great. I barely have time to take short breaks between orders. Been getting them back to back now like it used to be. Makes no sense why the acceptance rate seems like the only thing that dictates how much money they let you make. My customer rating is at 4.94. I'm at 900 lifetime deliveries and I've been above 4.9 customer rating since like 300 deliveries. That should help me get the high dollar orders way more than what my acceptance rate is. Like who cares lol.
@@statesk8r they aren't for me unless I complain. For the past two weeks I've tried it both ways. I also have a very high customer ratings, at 97% completion rating, a 98 percent on time rating. I used to have a 95% acceptance rating . Didnt help. Then I figured out the reason for that was because I was picking up the orders the cherry pickers were throwing back. Oh I was making no where near a 1000.00 a week when I was doing it full time with exceptional acceptance ratings.
@@karensanders2221 what is not for you? Sorry. Wow I dont know how you have a 95% acceptance rate. Not to be a dick but if all dashers out there would have a 60-80% acceptance rate and decline orders under $5 and under $1/mile. Then it would be more beneficial to all of us dashers. Because it would force doordash to up the base pay on each order until it reached $1/mile and then someone would accept it. Everyone would make more money. I would love to put out flyers or something in my zone and eventually get in touch with every dasher in my area and have a meeting. Then we could all work together and create a system for us all to work together so we can all make more money. Let's say there are 40 full time dashers in my area (dashers who regularly dash at least a day a week or more). If we all met at the same place at the start of each dinner shift or more realistically had a group chat, then we could take turns accepting orders. We could have a series of us get an order and like 10 of us decline it and then whoever the 11th was to get it, they then accept the order and fulfill it. 10 people dealing an order would add I think $2.50 extra base pay to that order because they add .25 each decline I've heard. Imagine if 39 of us declined then the 40th took it hahaha. That would be an extra $9.75 base pay in addition to $3 haha. I can't remember DDs base pay range. I think its $2-10 or $12. Anyways I think if we declined it 10 times per order, we'd be more likely not to draw too much attention from DD or lose the order because DD may cancel it after a certain # of declines.
I completely agree on chipotle, during rushes especially. Ill walk in and see 6 or 7 delivery drivers waiting on an empty to-go shelf, "NOPE!" unassign
I’m sick 🤕 of Tip Baiting in Alabama. Promising a Tip and when delivered, no Tip. I don’t need to be Tip Baited. I’m either going to accept the order or not. In the end, it will ALWAYS be my choice to accept or not to accept
The Alabama market in general is terrible from what I've experienced so far (in Montgomery and Prattville). Nobody tips in general... I was doordashing in Chesapeake Bay before I came to Alabama, and I discovered that I have to deliver about 15 more deliveries on average a week to make what I was making on the East Coast. I made consistently between $15 to $20 an hour (after expenses) on the East Coast. In Alabama i average between $10 to $13 an hour (after expenses).
tip baiting? any tips that the customer gives are supposed to go directly to you, however i HATE instacart for the fact it is so easy to tip bait there
Bro the information you're presenting is phenomenal! I'm moon Libra appreciate the teachings, energy, and insight. New to dashing your helping the process immensely, Thank You
The blacklist tip is a good one. I had my area's Steak n' Shake blacklisted for a while. Then for a few days, I accepted every offer for SnS (because they were closed for remodeling.) I accidentally accepted one after they were open and the order was already ready! I suppose they got it together since then, because picking up from them has been a breeze ever since. Bonus tip: Don't be afraid to call a drive-thru restaurant if the line is a mile long. A lot of times the order will be ready and they will bring it to your car or let you come in.
The B Dub's near me in the Twin Cities is one of my favorite places to pink up from. They have a building entrance that is specifically staffed for dashers. They kick ass. Then again, I remember them in Bama as a customer too. You had to order all your drinks and food at once, because it was guaranteed that you'd never see your server again.
If you door dash in a rich neighborhood, there’s really no reason for some of these 3$ orders. Man I live in the Bay Area where you need at least 100 grand to survive. We ain’t doing 3$ orders no tip
My Wendy's have been good here so far. At night they have a young crew but I am from the south and just Honey and sweetie pie them to death and get my orders. 😁😁😁
NO TIP NO TRIP.....in our area 3-4 dollar orders mean no tip from customers and most of them order several times a day That is for all those new drivers that have muddied the waters
I got a gopro with a chest strap. I start the gopro before I get out the car, turn it off after I pull off. And it gets me out the restaurant faster too.. they don't like being recorded.
Ok I'm going to throw a totally unrelated question. Has anyone had door dash have a screwup on the challenge and pay you 5 times more. I did several breakfast challenges in Denver that were$15 if you did 5 deliveries. They paid me for each of the 5 deliveries=$75 additional. Took full advantage thinking this is the shit then a few days later it stopped.
I take what I can get. The MN market in Midland,Texas is over saturated with Drivers, though, I have been able to stick to a somewhat even schedule. 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It has Bern a good schudule so far.
I quit because DoorDash would not pay me two of the four $15 dollar challenges I did. I completed 5 deliveries 12am to 459m to earn a $15 challenge. That is at least i thought. I submitted proof and DoorDash would still not pay me!
My market is so slow. Ive unassigned orders and then sit there for 30 minutes waiting for another order. BWW is absolutely terrible but the payouts are some of the best in my area. Im never there less then 10 minutes.
As always great tips man. . And happy birthday bro! Hey, I wanted to know if you’ve ever dashed in a place where it snows, and if gets busier or slower during winter?
Top dasher here..life is good in small town USA ..rolling large fixing to buy a car from carvanna..all with door dash .thats whats up..

Hey Bentley, I have done a charity order each day.Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I really enjoy your videos. Those low ball tips really do aggravate me. Keep the information rolling in.
In my area, Wendy's is the absolute worst! I'll never accept wendy's orders again.
burger king is on my blacklist
Ours is less the restaurants and more the drop off locations
Same here!!!!!
@@purplepixi18 samee
I think we all have black list areas. Like I'm not going across the river to Cincinnati unless I see a double digit payout. I usually have to kill my dash after I get 5 in a row. Wendy's here are pretty good and the ones in Denver were awesome for breakfast. Poppies needs to nationality cancel their door dash service, better for all involved.
I am sick of people not tipping. Can't afford to fix my vehicle due to no tips. The base pay is just too low for my area when I have to travel 5 plus miles per dash.
You feel my pain ):
Doordash has turned into communist china. I AM NO LONGER MAKING EVEN MINIMUM WAGE!!!
Why would you accept an order without a tip? I make $200 a day $25 an hour, I’ll never accept an order under $7 you guys do know acceptance rate doesn’t affect anything right?
We are all with you there. I just stopped accepting orders that visibly didn’t tip.
That's a double edge sword because sometimes people tip cash and in every case I got a$10-20 cash tip. I try to focus on the payout vs miles vs frustration to decide. Some areas of town just never tip and unfortunately that means my services never go there, the slap in the face is what pisses me off about the non tip.
These ppl want us to use our phone,gas,time ,car n then go in line to order their food ..Deliver it on time . For 3 dollars tip ...lol son you crazy!
Or no tip. I got a stacked delivery tonight for same restaurant, $12 payout for total of 1.9 miles. After I accepted it I see the $55 delivery is $4 payout🤬 So I stay positive & just have mind set to get them done & move on. Dropped off 1st one that was $8 payout with no prob & headed to the next. On arrival there was no apartment # & no # for the call box to get in building. Call customer, its the wrong #. Contact DD & after 30 freaking mins of them going back & forth with restaurant they say complete delivery & move on. So as I was preparing to leave at apartment building door & take pic this chic walks out like "oh, there you are"🤯🤨🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I explained I had been there 30 mins & how she gave me no info. She blamed app & walked away. Never tipped even a DOLLAR ON $55
They want you to do all that for no tip. You only getting the base pay crazy
How about when they want you to pick up 40 items from Walmart and deliver it all to them for 3 bucks lol.
Happy Birthday, I’m so thankful for you and your insight. God bless you my friend. I’m a 57 year old wife and mom and DD had helped our family greatly🙌

How do you UNASSIGN?

$25 an hour by doing this. I said fuck top dasher and just cherry pick lol.
Happy Birthday month, Libra!! I just signed up for DD...thank you for all the videos😊
Starting tomorrow! My stuff arrived today! Can’t wait.
Top tier advice! Im starting out on DD and I already have some restaurants that I will not go near. Now I'm working on scheduling and figuring out the trends in my area!
Hey Bentley those are my pet peeves too and I swear when things like that happen it's the devil at work!
Thanks for all your great vids. I am planning on ordering some merch soon. This channel has been a great help. 👍🏾
Today i quit my job to become a full time dasher. LETS GOOOO
I hope you had time to see if you are profitable beforehand!
@Kevin Black my reaction exactly
@@samcolton943 yea im straight. Been dashing for a while. I know the trends of my area
I just became a dasher based out Charlotte NC, thanks for these videos amazing work man!
These are all great points! I'll also add, sometime peak pay isnt worth it if the area is oversaturated with dashers. Dont be afraid to move to a lower paying area if you arent getting orders!
This is a great tip. In my area, DoorDash often puts out a $1.50-$2 peak pay out during Thursday nights and weekends and it draws so many ppl so I leave the area. I make much more money else where during no peak pay times/no peak pay times when those are out.
Oh working 20 to 25 hrs a week btw again thanks for the inspiration.
I needed this vid. I wasn't looking to quit but I DEFINITELY was missing out on potential income. I wasn't taking delivery driving as seriously as I should have because I didn't want to go to bigger areas to do this. I live in a smaller area but live maybe 25 mins from a larger area and about 30-35 mins from a city. I guess I was just terrified of the unknown as you put it. I have been inconsistently dashing for about a week now maybe an hour here or there but certainly nowhere near on yall's level! I wanted to do this to save to open my own massage therapy studio but started to think it wouldn't be possible. Thank you for changing my outlook.
Popeyes on everyone's blacklist. Mine also includes Safeway, and Chipotle on Friday and Saturday nights.
Lol! Popeyes just has an awful rep at this point. I only went to Popeyes once where the food was waiting for me to grab it. But I still waited 6 minutes for the clerk to get it for me.
So true! I always thought it was only my city then I moved to a different state and same issue with Popeyes. 🤦♀️
true that. half an hour in Popeyes drivethru and 20min spent picking up Safeway orders is not how I like to spend my day
I've had good luck with Chipotle in my area on almost every occasion, weekend included. That surprises me.
I used to have really bad issues withh popeyes, stopped going for a while, now people who order from there tip higher and the wait isnt as long which is nice, but some of the employees like to ignore me and help people who come in after me and other dashers so it still takes me a while, the restaurant is kinda halfway into the ghetto and im typically the only white guy there so i miiiiiight know why, some of the guys there are cool tho, but the cool guys for some reason arent the ones at the counter, which sucks cause they have more carasma in the first place anyways, pretty cool that they try to talk to people from the back of the kitchen and help them out
Thanks for the info!! I will be using those tips to augment how I Dash moving forward. I luv the shirt man, thanks again!
Happy belated birthday congratulations on the 50k I love watching you tubers come up
Never understood why anyone would wait more than 10-15 mins for any order? Time is definitely money in the GigGame. If I get there and the order isnt ready, I give them 5-10 mins, unassign, and wait in that same lot for that same time, another and usually better order will come through.
💯 Same. I say the same thing, smh.
He keeps saying. Reassign? I don't see that option when thos happens to me. Does he mean smash the cancel button? Cause they give me a big nasty warning when I do that!
@@kats.2098 😩 push the question mark in the upper right hand corner on the app. You will see "Unassign this Delivery."
@@privatelifejust_4me Thankyou DD friend!:)
Friendly's is on mine. Doesn't matter how early I get there its always a long wait.
Happy birthday Bentley, thanks for all you do
Took your advice on rethinking my blacklist. Took an order from my list about 30 days after being blacklisted and it was so much better. Seed and pick up was so much faster. Thanks for the great video's you have helped me so much. Even though I only do this part time.
I'm a "take every dash" driver. My city isn't very large, so I'm kinda worried about taking the loss there. But I'm willing to try it! ♎
I really am too unless it’s a Walmart order for like 4 dollars lol. It’s hard for me to pass on a dash
McDonald’s on my blacklist after hours. The line is crazy. And chic fil a in my area inside isn’t open still and they make us wait in the line. Never will pick up from these again (and Popeyes)
But how can you distinguish them bf taking the order?
Maybe it’s different in other areas but Panera 100% belongs on the blacklist, I’ve had multiple unacceptable waits there and one employee was actually kind enough to inform me that they don’t actually receive DoorDash orders until a Dasher accepts it, and then after that they have a half hour window to make the order. Now Factor that in with the fact that they have to make all of the bread fresh every day which takes up a decent amount of time and they are a fairly popular and busy restaurant in general for dine in.
my local panera is outstanding. i never even talk to the workers the order is already waiting for me on the shelf
@@jordanscott6998 Maybe it’s just an area specific thing then, because it’s been the same problem at multiple Panera‘s around me
My town is so small There’s not enough restaurants for me to have a black list lol Happy Birthday 🎂 Bentley 🎊
You have helped me big time! As a new dasher, I’ve increased my earnings by following the tips in your videos. Thanks and enjoy your birthday 🎉
Yooo...bout to get busy with this DOORDASH GIG...Ive been looking and also subscribed to your channel...research and development per say...gotta JUMP IN and rock...I KNOW everything Ive seen from your channel will come to light...KEEP IT MOVIN...
Happy Birthday!!!🎂 Libra here too😉
Thanks for all your videos, it helps me a lot as a new dasher.
GOOD MORNING BENTLEY🌞🌞🌞
I needed this before I started my Dash Shift this morning😊😊😊😊
I’ve learned a lot from you,I just became a top dasher and I’ve seen a BIG increase in $$$
Happy, happy birthday! 🎂🎉🎈🎁Keep up the strong work, young man!
I had an order today that was $278 for a company. My tip was $2 and that was from DoorDash. I’m still blown away at how inconsiderate some places are. I was actually on a double order and didn’t see how big the order was until I went to pick up the order. I called DoorDash thinking something went wrong and they pretty much blew me off. I hate when this happens.
Wtheck thats bs. I had the same thing but tip was $40. It could be a write off for company expense . Cheapass for no reason😡😢
@@yabachaaa3250 messed up my entire day!!!😡
DD likes play these hidden trick. Cuz we know that order was passed around with no take
@@dcg31free How do you investigate that because they don't show where it's going until after I pick up the order, please share I really need to know?
@@dcg31free Thank you! I think my phone is too small to show me all of the orders but if I just need to click on their name I think I can figure it out.
So one thing to consider is not to always take what the app shows as payout to heart. Today went out for a Dash and it said it was going to be a pay of $10. In the end I earned $18 from the order. Sometimes the app does not always show right.
Thank you so much for the help with making the transition into Dashing so smooth. Made $100 today and it feels great.
Happy Birthday Bentley! 🎁 🎂 🥳
Bentley, I don't know how you do everything you do, but thank you, man!
I recently had to add Papa John's to 'The Blacklist' because they are keeping the tips and giving doordash drivers flat rates as low as $3 a delivery. Even before doordashing I've never ordered a pizza and given the driver less than $5.
Our Papa John's does this. $ 4 dollars for 10 to 12 miles. Ohhh NO. NOT HAPPENING. I hate driving by cuz I know it will ding for a ridiculous offer
Congrats on 50k!!!!! You deserve it. And also happy birthday 🎂
Safeway is on my blacklist, there is all ways a time of the day where orders from Safeway come one after another. I decline them all
ditto
Excellent tips! I let myself get lax in scheduling and it hurt me. Also, a Chipotle that was an easy 30-45 minutes wait and therefore solidly on my blacklist got some new staff and is now a good source of deliveries.
1. Learn to unassign. Do not wait more than 15 minutes. Most deliveries here in the DMV take at least 20 minutes from accept to complete. That's 3 an hour and wack af. I try to get at least 4 an hour or more if busy.
2. Have a standard. I have a 6 dollar minimum. Sometimes the stacked orders will low ball the second order. Chumps.
3. Examine the preview ACCEPT screen. Take your time and choose wisely. CHOOSE!
4. Be assertive (and nice) at the restaurants. Sometimes they're good other times they suk ballz. We all are human. I usually end dash if I notice that I am being a tool. Peace Y'all😷
My goal in life is to never complete a charity order, like ever.
Tip #6. If the area you are working is not producing, go somewhere else. A lot of drivers want to work the area they live in because they know the area and it's comfortable. If you can make an additional $5 per hour in a zone that is 20-30 minutes away, it's well worth the drive to work that area. I have several different areas I work. I start with the one closest to home, and if it's producing, I stay there. If it isn't producing, I move to my next area, and keep doing that until I find the money.
that's really good advice because I see areas around me that are constantly hotter than my area and usually pay a dollar more and are busier. I'm getting a new car next week specifically for this gig and I'll start during day hours so I can familiar with those areas and won't be afraid to venture there during the evening hours. How do I know how far an area is from me?
I got stuck at wingstop last friday with two orders....It was a $+5 promotion per order....the two orders together paid $24, but i waited 40 miutes, and then the promotion was over.
I love a great job keep doing your videos you keep me motivated every day while I'm out here thank you
I appreciate the help. Sometimes I do ok. Yet, I have some things to work on.
I will wait 15 minutes if that money is $15 because I dash in Houston Texas. oversaturated and it really sucks and I'm lucky to make $15 an hour. But I get you and I do hate those wait times and the traffic here is disgusting
80% of deliveries in my area are "charity"
Be sure to sign up for other gigs and delivery apps to broaden your opportunities to make money still.
find a high income area with lots of restaurants
Hmmm....I deliver in high income area...been buzzed onto multi million dollar properties and got $3
@@kariforgie457 you shouldnt have accepted it in the first place lol
Hahahaha
$1.50 per mile
Nothing over 7 miles
No tip, no trip
No shop and deliver
No exceptions
How are your earnings with such strict guidelines? Are you in a large area with lots of orders?
Were you in a large city yeah you can do that
Actually I am in a rural area. I operate in a “city” of about 100,000 folks.
@@tonybowman8902 what kind of car are you using? What do u think of leasing or renting a car to do doordash/ubereats etc?
I have 2 cars.......a '05 Scion Xa for Doordash/Uber Eats and Roadie only and a 2011 Toyota Venza for Doordash, Uber and Lyft. I'd never lease for delivery. You can find an older 4banger for dirt cheap. (My Scion was $3500 and had only 30k miles when I bought it 3 years ago)
I've found a fairly successful way to offset long waits at a restaurant. I text my customer and say (Hello,Jeff with Door Dash. I am at the restaurant waiting on your order. Once its done I'm omw - drive is approx xx minutes. Ill lyk when omw.) Then once I am out of the lot I send "omw," Not only is the customer happy to get an update. They also aren't upset with you for it taking long. And it makes them aware that you are having to spend more time on their delivery. Also, I text every customer an update when omw. I typically include their name. It feels more personal to them. I also put my name so it humanized you and again more personal. Not just delivery driver. I find my tips go up from the acceptance amount significantly more often. Hope that helps!!
The only bad part is I feel locked in once I msg the customer to see the order to completion out of respect for them. Oh and I always wait till first order is dropped off before notifying 2nd customer of est time whe. Delivering stacked orders.
Lately when I do deliveries that are 8+ miles I sometimes will go on the customer dash app and type the customers address in and then go to order from where they ordered from. And I see like 5$ or $6 delivery fee.. but yet I only got $3.50-$4 base pay... WtfBro..
So doordash makes money off the restaurant, the customer in fees, and steals part of the delivery fee that the customer thinks is 100% going to us.. which it should.. maybe that's part of the reason tips are average to lousy usually
that explains how they just add on $.25 to their "base" pay everytime someone declines it.
noticed that when I delivered an order 8 miles out of my scheduled zone tonight. The offer was initially 8.50.. when I dropped it off, clicked the complete delivery and the happy or sad face popped up, I clicked the sad face and then the "far distance, low base pay and then the something else where I commented that I had to now drive 15-20 minutes to get back into my zone before they would send me another order. When I completed my comments, like magic.. an 11.00 tip plus a $4 base pay appeared making it a 15.00 order instead of the 8.50 they initially offered when I accepted it. So yes, they are certainly trying to get by with not giving us the full tip.
@@karensanders2221 the 8.50 orders are almost always more than 8.50. I'd say about 1 or 2 orders out of every ten $8 50 orders I get actually end up being only 8.50. About 2 months ago, I did an experiment. My acceptance rate was about 65-80% then. 2 months ago I started only accepting orders that were $6+ and 1.50+ per mile. Over the next couple weeks, I dropped down to like 35% acceptance. I went from working 50 hours a week to make $1000/week to now I had to work 60 to 70 hours and would only make 900 to 1000/week. It really fucked me up, especially when my acceptance rate dipped below like 50 to 60%. As soon as I got it back up to above 60%, I started making a lot more money and getting way more orders and a lot more high paying order again. I'm currently at like 75% acceptance and they literally have almost always been sending me orders that are $1+ per mile. I've only had to decline like 1 to 2 out of every 10 offers this past week. Been great. I barely have time to take short breaks between orders. Been getting them back to back now like it used to be. Makes no sense why the acceptance rate seems like the only thing that dictates how much money they let you make. My customer rating is at 4.94. I'm at 900 lifetime deliveries and I've been above 4.9 customer rating since like 300 deliveries. That should help me get the high dollar orders way more than what my acceptance rate is. Like who cares lol.
@@statesk8r they aren't for me unless I complain. For the past two weeks I've tried it both ways. I also have a very high customer ratings, at 97% completion rating, a 98 percent on time rating. I used to have a 95% acceptance rating . Didnt help. Then I figured out the reason for that was because I was picking up the orders the cherry pickers were throwing back. Oh I was making no where near a 1000.00 a week when I was doing it full time with exceptional acceptance ratings.
@@karensanders2221 what is not for you? Sorry.
Wow I dont know how you have a 95% acceptance rate. Not to be a dick but if all dashers out there would have a 60-80% acceptance rate and decline orders under $5 and under $1/mile. Then it would be more beneficial to all of us dashers. Because it would force doordash to up the base pay on each order until it reached $1/mile and then someone would accept it. Everyone would make more money. I would love to put out flyers or something in my zone and eventually get in touch with every dasher in my area and have a meeting. Then we could all work together and create a system for us all to work together so we can all make more money. Let's say there are 40 full time dashers in my area (dashers who regularly dash at least a day a week or more). If we all met at the same place at the start of each dinner shift or more realistically had a group chat, then we could take turns accepting orders. We could have a series of us get an order and like 10 of us decline it and then whoever the 11th was to get it, they then accept the order and fulfill it. 10 people dealing an order would add I think $2.50 extra base pay to that order because they add .25 each decline I've heard. Imagine if 39 of us declined then the 40th took it hahaha. That would be an extra $9.75 base pay in addition to $3 haha. I can't remember DDs base pay range. I think its $2-10 or $12. Anyways I think if we declined it 10 times per order, we'd be more likely not to draw too much attention from DD or lose the order because DD may cancel it after a certain # of declines.
Chipotle was on my Blacklist I had a few words with them on Facebook that particular store is doing a lot better now
I completely agree on chipotle, during rushes especially. Ill walk in and see 6 or 7 delivery drivers waiting on an empty to-go shelf, "NOPE!" unassign
I’m sick 🤕 of Tip Baiting in Alabama. Promising a Tip and when delivered, no Tip. I don’t need to be Tip Baited. I’m either going to accept the order or not. In the end, it will ALWAYS be my choice to accept or not to accept
Tip bait! Yes I was a victim of that. It's pretty dirty that anyone would play the shit.
The Alabama market in general is terrible from what I've experienced so far (in Montgomery and Prattville). Nobody tips in general... I was doordashing in Chesapeake Bay before I came to Alabama, and I discovered that I have to deliver about 15 more deliveries on average a week to make what I was making on the East Coast. I made consistently between $15 to $20 an hour (after expenses) on the East Coast. In Alabama i average between $10 to $13 an hour (after expenses).
tip baiting? any tips that the customer gives are supposed to go directly to you, however i HATE instacart for the fact it is so easy to tip bait there
Bless up Bentley! HBD brother✌🏼 stay safe n bee well! Thx for all u do :)
Happy birthday 🎉🎊🎈👑
I only dash occasionally, but your videos help alot!! Thanks!
Bro the information you're presenting is phenomenal! I'm moon Libra appreciate the teachings, energy, and insight. New to dashing your helping the process immensely, Thank You
Whataburger and Popeyes straight to the Blacklist
The blacklist tip is a good one. I had my area's Steak n' Shake blacklisted for a while. Then for a few days, I accepted every offer for SnS (because they were closed for remodeling.) I accidentally accepted one after they were open and the order was already ready! I suppose they got it together since then, because picking up from them has been a breeze ever since. Bonus tip: Don't be afraid to call a drive-thru restaurant if the line is a mile long. A lot of times the order will be ready and they will bring it to your car or let you come in.
The B Dub's near me in the Twin Cities is one of my favorite places to pink up from. They have a building entrance that is specifically staffed for dashers. They kick ass.
Then again, I remember them in Bama as a customer too. You had to order all your drinks and food at once, because it was guaranteed that you'd never see your server again.
Nice video BK. This should be required watching for all new Dashers and some veterans too
If you door dash in a rich neighborhood, there’s really no reason for some of these 3$ orders. Man I live in the Bay Area where you need at least 100 grand to survive. We ain’t doing 3$ orders no tip
Believe or not the best tip area for me was a low income area that’s crazy
@@freddym2024 yea I got a big tip yesterday in A sketchy neighborhood and I thought ok fine selling drugs is ok if they tip me well!
@@Foxyfreedom lol
Right but there are still so many "rich" people who don't tip either
And yes, Wendy's I have had very slow pickups in more than one store. I was just reluctant to unassign because I didn't know what would happen.
My Wendy's have been good here so far. At night they have a young crew but I am from the south and just Honey and sweetie pie them to death and get my orders. 😁😁😁
You rock! Great concepts. TY Bentley!!
The popeyes in my town is quick actually. BWW is kinda average in time
This was great bro. Thanks and Happy Birthday
NO TIP NO TRIP.....in our area 3-4 dollar orders mean no tip from customers and most of them order several times a day That is for all those new drivers that have muddied the waters
9 deliveries and my cars having issues, had to bring to a mechanic lol, was getting addicted to it
Dropped an order off took a pic sent it got paid. 10 mins later they claimed they never received they’re delivery 🤨 smh
Same thing happened to me tonight
Get a dash cam… Or body cam
I got a gopro with a chest strap. I start the gopro before I get out the car, turn it off after I pull off. And it gets me out the restaurant faster too.. they don't like being recorded.
Truth Be Told & The Lux Journey
Good Advice Thanks.
As long as you take the pic you’re good
Ok I'm going to throw a totally unrelated question. Has anyone had door dash have a screwup on the challenge and pay you 5 times more. I did several breakfast challenges in Denver that were$15 if you did 5 deliveries. They paid me for each of the 5 deliveries=$75 additional. Took full advantage thinking this is the shit then a few days later it stopped.
I wish lol
I take what I can get. The MN market in Midland,Texas is over saturated with Drivers, though, I have been able to stick to a somewhat even schedule. 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It has Bern a good schudule so far.
I quit because DoorDash would not pay me two of the four $15 dollar challenges I did. I completed 5 deliveries 12am to 459m to earn a $15 challenge. That is at least i thought. I submitted proof and DoorDash would still not pay me!
All great advice!! Happy Birthday!!
Libra season!!! Keep up the good work
So your birthday is October 17th!? So is mine! I'm a fellow dasher as well! Happy Birthday!
You're a boss Mr Bentley. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My market is so slow. Ive unassigned orders and then sit there for 30 minutes waiting for another order. BWW is absolutely terrible but the payouts are some of the best in my area. Im never there less then 10 minutes.
As always great tips man. . And happy birthday bro! Hey, I wanted to know if you’ve ever dashed in a place where it snows, and if gets busier or slower during winter?
Happy birthday. Enjoy your day.
