"do i take $13 for 6 miles?" ...that wouldn't even hit a second ticked down before I'd slam that accept button. Man, I wish I delivered during the hay days of DoorDash.
Welcome back to DD Mike! For orders marked as hand delivered, my own little hack I use right when I leave the restaurant with the order - Is to create a short message as a shortcut on my phone ( I only have to type 'DD') to say something along the lines of " I'm on my way. As noted, I'll hand the order to you." Sometimes I'll get a message back saying 'You can leave it at the door'. I know not everyone reads the texts. I do still every once in a great while get that uncomfortable look from someone that says 'Why are you standing at my front door?'
What happens when you arrive though? So you just mark "handed to customer" and leave it? That definitely could work but isn't that opening the door for "order never arrived"? I mean they could just do that anyway but not making visual contact when you're technically supposed to feels odd you know?
Hi Mike. Every time I leave an order at a door that was originally marked "hand it to me", I take a photo. I text the photo to the customer, just like they would receive if the order was a leave at door in the first place. This lets the customer know that I actually left it, but more importantly, that I have photographic proof that I left it. The photo, combined with the text from the customer saying leave it, should be enough to keep you out of trouble with "order never arrived" scammers. @@YourDriverMike
I think it's more awkward when they come out just as your lining your phone up to take pic for leave at my door. Most customers thankfully seem to know to wait. Or are even watching me u-turn to get out of a culdesac.
@@YourDriverMike Take a pic and text it to them saying "left at door per your request" and then mark handed to customer. You can do similar if they do not answer door and say something like " No one was answering so I left at your front door". As long as DD has chat verification you dropped it you should be ok. Also a good thing to keep photo proof in your phones gallery with timestamp and location info in the picture details, for at least a week, in case of any CV's that you would need proof for.
I would've definitely taken that $17 order. I moved to the Atlanta area at the end of August and the most I've been offered is $11. Only peak pay I've seen around here is $1 as well.
@@sjwarhammer4039 I heard it's good out there, I've tried it I found it to be ok. Traffic just makes it a little harder to maximize your earnings, in my opinion. Have you tried Roswell? I heard it's a good zone.
welcome back to Doordash Mike! You missed an amazing Friday in my market place. Today I got a $65 order, a $37 order, a $48 order, a $27 order and a $26 order 😎 I made $203 with only 5 deliveries 🤫
Good video Mike, very relatable. I keep pre-written messages on my phone tailored to each app I drive for. When a customer mistakenly requests a “hand it to me” (DoorDash) or “meet at door” (Uber Eats) but really meant to request “leave at door”, I text them my pre-written note after the second knock at their door with no answer. My note explains what type of drop off they chose on their order and ends with “would you like me to leave your order at your door instead?” This usually results in a text from the customer along the lines of “Yes, leave it at my door. Sorry.” It helps speed things along when you’re prepared to deal with this scenario.
Some standard pre-written messages have definitely been helpful to have while dashing. And that follow up to confirm whether they want it left at the door is pretty good cuz Mike's experience happens pretty often at times, but then there's the occasional "never reply to any message" customer too.
@@louisfrancojr.6406If the customer never replies to your pre-written message, I text them another pre-written message that says “I left your order at your door because I have another customer’s order sitting in my car”(whether I do or not). This is my final trump card and it works like a charm. I’ve never gotten a complaint or bad rating after using it. I’ve even used it face to face with customers who give bad instructions, no gate codes, never met me where they said they would, etc. You’ll see how fast a customer shuts up and complies when you use it 😁
Just take a photo and leave it at the door. Example: Whenever there’s two different prompts on DoorDash the first prompt “hand to me” or “leave at door” is when they order from the merchants website (let’s say they ordered from Panera), the merchant doesn’t change the prompt. The second prompt however will always be the customers notes “just leave at the door” “front door” etc.
Five guys is big issues. They will not put the fries into cook until you arrive. I have felt the bag several times when the bag is sitting on the shelf when I arrive. Sometimes the burger is cold but the fries are fresh. Shrug...
The No Contact delivery is the biggest problem atm, app forces you to call, take a picture and write a note.The customers do not know they have that set up and they get mad when you make contact. The grocery orders are the second most annoying, I started pulling in the drive ways and calling before I undload the groceries. Support will 100% make you take it back to the store if they can't also contact the customer. They will give you a return to store payment also.
I will give you guys more info on the groceries. It is albertsons and safeway on the west coast. Very few red card orders now at these 2 stores, it is all pre gathered pick ups. Albertsons employees who do the shopping have told me several things about what is going on. They use the albertsons app and if it is under 30 items they can get it dashed. Dasher app says you can get deactivated if you do not make contact during the delivery and do not take it back to the store. A couple of times I treated them like food, unloaded my vehicle, tried to make contact but had to reload my vehicle and take it back to the store because of no contact, after support called as well. Anyway now I pull in there drive way and call if they awnser I start unloading if they don't I call support. If support can't gain contact they always have you take it back to the store and pay you for the drive back.
Welcome back to DoorDash, Mike. As you often say on your channel, you shouldn't form any conclusions about your dashing experience based on one dash. In my market (Missoula, MT), I rarely drive for more than five months on a single order, virtually regardless of the offer amount. Driving five miles in nearly any direction puts you out into the rural parts of the county, resulting in multiple dead miles to get back to power strips.
LOL, welcome back to Dashing in Pittsburgh. On that Tropical Smoothie order, it could have been a distance based reduction or could have also been a hidden tip and they stupidly hid a whopping $0.25 more of the tip. With your reactivated status, you're probably temporarily a Top Dasher so they sometimes tell you they're hiding part of the tip and sometimes they don't. I run into that a good bit where I work(Cranberry/Wexford) Good luck back on the DD platform
I no longer deliver during peak pay in my area. Literally can spend an hour and get no orders but on normal days orders are pretty steady. Also my area rarely does peak pay so not a huge loss either way
The algorithm just stops sending you orders if you decline too much. Additionally it childishly throws a tantrum if you decline a "diamond" order. I've seen them offer 13 miles for 18$ with a diamond or 3 miles for 4$. It literally means nothing.
Hey Mike! Yes, the DD of 2023 is not the one from 2020 or even 2021. People no longer tip well. $5 typical tips are now down to $3-$4. I bet that's because DD may have increased its fees and so that tip differential is taken from us. Or customers have gotten cheaper. Uber Ears is even worse! $5 offers to deliver for Apple for 10+miles and almost 50 minutes! Outrageous. Now I alternate between rides and some Doordash, but I'm looking at gigs from home. Are you doing videos on that? Another question, have you seen DD's hourly rate offers? They're a horrible trap. They send you all the non tip rejects and pay you an insulting rate. Just thought to get your opinion on that. Thanks for all you do.
This is going to be fun on future videos concerning the "New" market place that you're not used to. That $17 delivery is now considered very good in the delivery market and I would take that any day of the week except if the restaurant is a possible problem.
$1.75 per mile is not realistic at all in my market and i dont think in most. I tried that and lost a huge % amt in acceptance rate trying to follow this model. Never again!!! .. and I would have kept sinking if I followed this advice. Sorry not realistic. You will see, Mike.Wish you were right, but not the way it is, unfortunately. ❤
@4:13 you got two bangers in a row and declined both! Time-out! P.S. you go inside McDonald's in the daytime and evening, no long drive thru. DD has changed since you last did it brother. You better accept 2 mile per dollar orders or you will make trash, and keep the AR above 70% minimum
You guys aren't seeing peak pay on the maps anymore because they are sending them privately to each area specific places they need drivers..if they don't wind up with enough drivers for that area then you'll see it show up in the promo area or the map. Once it hits either place I don't even bother. It just floods the area and the crappy orders are prevalent towards the end of the pp. This is DD specific
Welcome back to DoorDash Mike. You’ll see in 2023. You can’t refuse orders as much or your ratings will drop and that will cause you not to get as many good orders and you’ll end up sitting like you did this last shift. There are now so many Dasher driving That if you don’t keep your rating above 70% for acceptance, you will start having your pay drop to barely above minimum wage.
Five Guys is the worse. It has to be pretty high for me because of the fact that they take FOREVER. I just stand there and wait like move faster people.
I think overanalizing is just cutting your own throat in 2023. Things are way different than 2 yrs ago . Anythng over a dollar a mile in my area is the best you are going to get. Best wishes
I pulled a shift audible once, first delivery took me almost 3 counties away from my home and it was late when I was planning to end my dash within an hour or so. Rookie move, never again
With hand it to me, 'especially at businesses,' I press that can't hand it when pulling up. It's bad enough it's 5 minutes, and technically, that person should be at door/location waiting, not the other way around.
If you decline you should pause right away because if you don’t pause they will send you the same order again and again . Wait maybe 3 minutes then someone else will get the order that you declined
The five minute timer is insane. Even in a good neighborhood, standing at someone's door for five minutes is long enough to get in trouble. If you're in a good neighborhood, the neighbors might call the cops. If you're in a bad neighborhood, it's just not safe to sit still for so long. Many times I'll start the timer as soon as I hit the porch, and back out of it if they come to the door because it doesn't make sense to wait two minutes, and then wait five more minutes.
I never wait on hand it to me for more than a minute or 2. I guess in Florida they don't require the timer. Also getting 15mog I havecto be really picky. It's almost not worth it. I make ~ $300 per week but am active for ~ 100 hours waiting at home for offers
Just read an article about Walmart getting rid of Spark..aka gig drivers. Going to get employees to do more deliveries and phase out gig drivers completely. Between DD and Spark ..pay cuts.. I'm beginning to see gig work getting squeezed out more and more every day
The situation at 6:40 - they started pulling the same **** in my area. I declined an $8.25 for 12.6 miles.. it came right back up.. $8.25 for 12.5 miles from TWO orders. Between that and the base pay cut we have and other situations, I'm finding other sources of income. DD was great, but now it's not.
Just started this Saturday. Was pretty good night. Tried to go out Sunday and can't dash at all . Can't even schedule a decent time during the coming week except from mid to 4am . I guess that was a short honeymoon right.
How did you get high pay orders as your metrics when you showed last, did not meet the metrics. Does your zones have the tiers yet.? Our zone does and it's basically forcing everyone onto earn by time and delivering all no tip orders. I actually have Uninstallerd the DD app. In 2023, that app is not worth driving anymore. Losing money isn't why I want to be in business.
In my area there are 2 papa johns and they both horribly suck. Always slow and always out of something so I need to substitute drinks or toppings.. how tf do u run outta coke? Anyways I avoid papa johns.😂
One more thing I will share is about Carl's Junior. The company policy is to not start the order till you arrive. My patience with the process they have, has got me knowing the employees. They know my vehicle, thus they will start making the order before I walk in seeing me in the parking lot. This is at several of there resturaunts. I mention it because I have seen other dashers come in and get upset leave and unassign. There are relationships with the resturaunts you build also.
Like some are saying in the comments, the $17 order is as good as it gets in DD 2023, especially with the miles being under 9. The problem I’m facing with DD in my area is that I get $15+ offers, but the miles are also 15 or even worse. Also, as you will see down the road with DD, you’re going experience a lot of downtime where I’ve gone over 30+ minutes without getting an offer and that’s of course is due to the over saturation on the platform.
I avoid McDonald’s at all cost in my market and I agree with you most of the ppl want contactless delivery but when they order they don’t think about that.
Hahaha notice how after declining you stopped getting orders? Welcome to 23' where even if you have really high acceptance rate, if you dare to decline you get punished and put on a timeout.
He's not getting punished for that, he hasn't made any deliveries on the app in like 3 years or something. He's in the bottom tier of toptrashers. He's not going to just show up at primetime and get stacked with orders, let alone good ones. That's the one thing that Doortrash does correctly.
I declined seven consecutive orders this morning, and saw my acceptance rate drop from 81% to 74%, but wasn't placed on "time out", nor did I subsequently see a degradation in the quality of orders offered to me. I still finished the shift with an overall average of $21.43/dash hour and $2.03/business mile driven.
In a heavily saturated market like mine and something happening more times than you can count, it stops seeming like a coincidence. Believe what you want
DD is so weird in my area. Wednesday dinner rush was crazy with 20+ dollar orders left and right but Saturday night I didn't get an order for 30 minutes in the hottest area. But Friday morning I made almost 40/hr. So confusing compared to Uber Eats
Its a variable good offers mediocre offers and bad offers i have seen $5.00 pay to drive 15 miles. I like to deliver no way am i accepting that order. Lose big money instead of making money.
I don’t like the hand it to me’s, but more than anything I hate the “call the customer and arrange a drop off location”. Unless there’s a good reason for it, but most of the time it’s just the person coming to answer there door
I think after i decline two orders, i get paused.. not on screen but it takes a few minutes to get more orders when normally they are non stop in that zone. Also, on a Saturday night, if i go for 20 minutes without an order, i sign out of that dash. Wait one minute and sign back in, and typically start receiving orders right away. Thats just my experience in the Fort Worth market.
I took an order for $3:25 right before the dinner rush in the hope I would get better offers for the rest of the shift. I got stuck in rush hour traffic and it took nearly half hour to complete. DD rewarded me by sending me a $2:50 right after on a Friday.

I drive in Missoula mt as well 😅
Look on the bright side, an average of 8.72 per delivery is pretty good.

I slice through my hometown and base my orders on how bored I actually am.
I would never wait for a hand it to me, if they want their food they will eventually get it.
In my area there are 2 papa johns and they both horribly suck. Always slow and always out of something so I need to substitute drinks or toppings.. how tf do u run outta coke? Anyways I avoid papa johns.😂
San Diego is definitely better because we have prop 22 here
Uber do the same send a $10.75 then you get closer and boom $10.38 same order lol
Doordash is a dud . There is so many drivers now I can't even start dashing in my area . And the areas that are available I wouldn't step foot in .
Not a good shift, Mike. Kinda shocked honestly. I'm up in the Wexford/Cranberry area. Last night I did:
5:20 - 9:15
10 deliveries
$99.50
doordash needs to quit lowballin
Peak pay. Worst. 😂
It’s been dead. Period. It’ll get better.
Full shift review. 2 1/2 hours. That’s not a full shift.
Gas is over $6 in California I predict less dashers here because unless at least $2x miles it’s working for free or losing $ to work
Welcome to DD 2023 where the only lucrative hours is 5 onwards and traffic is simply a unavoidable part of life 😂
I dash from 6 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. daily, consistently earning $25+/dash hour and $2+/business-mile driven.
@@RobertEskewWhat cities are you working in? That's really good pay per hour and $/mileage.
One more thing I will share is about Carl's Junior. The company policy is to not start the order till you arrive. My patience with the process they have, has got me knowing the employees. They know my vehicle, thus they will start making the order before I walk in seeing me in the parking lot. This is at several of there resturaunts.
I mention it because I have seen other dashers come in and get upset leave and unassign. There are relationships with the resturaunts you build also.
Like some are saying in the comments, the $17 order is as good as it gets in DD 2023, especially with the miles being under 9. The problem I’m facing with DD in my area is that I get $15+ offers, but the miles are also 15 or even worse. Also, as you will see down the road with DD, you’re going experience a lot of downtime where I’ve gone over 30+ minutes without getting an offer and that’s of course is due to the over saturation on the platform.
I avoid McDonald’s at all cost in my market and I agree with you most of the ppl want contactless delivery but when they order they don’t think about that.
Yup McDonald's customers don't tip at all.I only accept if it's with 2 miles and at least $6
Hahaha notice how after declining you stopped getting orders? Welcome to 23' where even if you have really high acceptance rate, if you dare to decline you get punished and put on a timeout.
He's not getting punished for that, he hasn't made any deliveries on the app in like 3 years or something. He's in the bottom tier of toptrashers. He's not going to just show up at primetime and get stacked with orders, let alone good ones. That's the one thing that Doortrash does correctly.
I declined seven consecutive orders this morning, and saw my acceptance rate drop from 81% to 74%, but wasn't placed on "time out", nor did I subsequently see a degradation in the quality of orders offered to me.
I still finished the shift with an overall average of $21.43/dash hour and $2.03/business mile driven.
In a heavily saturated market like mine and something happening more times than you can count, it stops seeming like a coincidence. Believe what you want
Maybe if you took that Tropical Smoothie order. you would have done better. lol
This is so exciting, we are gonna get to watch you experience how bad door dash has become and how lowball the offers are now 😂
You probably should've taken the opportunity and switched. Keeping the wheels moving makes you 💰, right?
That hand it to me and they don’t answer it has happen to my husband it’s very annoying
I am happy to see back in the driver seat. Great Video !!
Watching the video .y best guess is it is all about the zone
DD is so weird in my area. Wednesday dinner rush was crazy with 20+ dollar orders left and right but Saturday night I didn't get an order for 30 minutes in the hottest area. But Friday morning I made almost 40/hr. So confusing compared to Uber Eats
Had that today and they wanted a signature
Five guys is the worst. The customer was a complete jerk. So tonight he didn't get his Five guys and DD blocked him ....
Its a variable good offers mediocre offers and bad offers i have seen $5.00 pay to drive 15 miles. I like to deliver no way am i accepting that order. Lose big money instead of making money.
I don’t like the hand it to me’s, but more than anything I hate the “call the customer and arrange a drop off location”. Unless there’s a good reason for it, but most of the time it’s just the person coming to answer there door
I'm sorry. Is this a video about a finicky person who doesn't really need money? I'd be taking all that s***
I DD along Navarre beach Fl. hardly to see pick pay if not thunder storm or late night 😢
I switched zones once and regretted it, took me so far from home!
With those stats, you look rusty, lol
I think after i decline two orders, i get paused.. not on screen but it takes a few minutes to get more orders when normally they are non stop in that zone. Also, on a Saturday night, if i go for 20 minutes without an order, i sign out of that dash. Wait one minute and sign back in, and typically start receiving orders right away. Thats just my experience in the Fort Worth market.
I took an order for $3:25 right before the dinner rush in the hope I would get better offers for the rest of the shift. I got stuck in rush hour traffic and it took nearly half hour to complete. DD rewarded me by sending me a $2:50 right after on a Friday.
I had DoorDash counter going this was food delivery and if can’t hand to them or return the food 😳 he had 30 seconds left when he opened the door
Why San Diego to Pittsburgh?
