$85 - 25.50 or better for taxes $10 for gas most likely so maybe $50 to get to take home if you lucky or less for a full day's work and don't forget so you're a subcontractor so you got to pay higher rates for insurance on the car is can't forget about that so it's only $45 for full day's work
are you sure? I tried doordash yesterday for the first time. In the bill or check out it said Door Dash tip...then it went on to say 100% for the driver. I did a $9 tip. When the driver came to my house,I asked her if she got the tip....she said yes. I think they do get the full tip.
@@buckeye-pe6df that's a pretty dumbed down version of what is happening right now. if you really googled it you would know that instacart was the main target. say an order is $13 before tip. the customer would tip $6 but the driver would still only get $13 not $19. instacart was adjusting rates because of a tip and that was disgusting. i havent read into it any further but i highly doubt door dash does this specifically because their dasherhelp subdomain literally says: A guaranteed minimum is displayed upfront for every Drive order. Dashers will earn base pay + *100% of tips* received by DoorDash from the merchant or the customer. If the base pay + tip is less than the guaranteed minimum offered, Dashers will receive the guaranteed minimum amount. If the base pay + tip is greater than the guaranteed minimum, Dashers will receive base pay + tip.
Yeap once min rate + tip reaches the guaranteed $ amount doordash keeps the rest of the tip money. If customer decides not to tip at all then doordash claims they pay drivers to bring it up to guaranteed amount which is so confusing to figure out while doing deliveries one after another.
I don't know, that seems to be the case with any food delivery app. If the weather is bad then people are more likely to use the app because they don't want to go outside themselves.
You're like us! We drop min $20 if waiter/waitress is awesome, if so-so, they only get a $5. We don't eat out much so when we do, we don't skimp on the tips.
Did my first 3 door dashes today on my day off. Made $35.04. I usually take my classic 1981 Corvette out and just drive it around on my day off, which I did today....HOWEVER today I made money doing what I would have done anyway!
@@TastyTrees916 the corvette isn't as bad on gas mileage as you would think, but drive it for fun doing these deliveries part time when I feel like taking her out. Best part is the look on people's faces when I pull up in a mint classic car to deliver their Starbucks! :-)
Squiggy Wigginz hey actually reading your comment again either way even if you broke even it’s still a better business move than just spending the money in gas on a Sunday drive.
Question: I tried doordash yesterday for the first time.At check out or on the bill it said Driver Tip and it gave me a percentage to choose on how much to tip (10%, 15% , 20%....etc) I did the %15 percent which was $9 tip.It said that the driver gets 100% of the full tip. So is that true? I just wonder if i use the service again should i tip in cash? I want the driver to get that full tip, and the site does say it's for the driver fully.
I order often on doordash. The customer gives the tip. I am in a wheelchair and it's hard to get around. Doordash is great. I'm able to order food i normally wouldn't be able to. Some places do charge a lot for delivery.
I appreciate you giving it the full day and trying. I have been dashing for about a month and half, and I have some suggestions and tips: 1. Dash from 11-2 pm and 5-9 pm, or later if you can. These tend to be the busiest times, and you can get peak pay up to a $2-3 more per order plus maybe more tips. 2. Speaking of tips, you will almost NEVER get cash tips from customers. Your tips are on the app. if you look at it under times you worked. Best tippers in my area are bigger orders, i.e. Safeway and large orders of food from nicer restaurants. Some of these orders can be hefty making you $20-30/order. 3. Don't ask for tips from customers, and don't ask them to rate you five stars. Don't force convos. with them either. They just want their food. If they initiate conversation, great! Then shoot the breeze. 4. Avoid Cheesecake Factory, chic-fil-A, and small drive up coffee shops. Chic-fil-A is a clusterfuck at lunch. Be prepared to wait at least ten minutes for your order. Go up at arrival, say you're from DD, then go sit down. Never get in their faces. I go to the restroom and check my phone. 5. If a merchant says they don't have your order, check to see if you're at the right restaurant first, then if you are place the order yourself. Contact c/s to get approved to use your red card. If a merchant plays games with you, is rude, or makes you wait 15 minutes past the p/u time, UNASSIGN YOURSELF from the delivery. Never argue with these folks. You will get de-activated for that. 6. You WILL get low ratings. DD customers are ruthless when it comes to ratings. But typically, if the food is kept warm, drinks not spilled, cold foods kept cold, and they get it on time, you'll be okay. Still, you can be polite af and still see your ratings go down two tenths of a point at the end of the day. It's happened to me numerous times. It sucks, but unless your CR goes below 4.00/5.00, you probably won't be deactivated. 7. Never deliver to a high school student. Do NOT do it. You are not authorized to be on that campus. And if you're caught texting say a h.s. girl and being unauthorized, you could be in serious trouble. I lucked out as I dropped her order off at the office, and fully explained myself the staff and VP. I showed them her texts. 8. Avoid college towns. College kids don't tip well, are pretentious and rude, and you'll be busy delivering Chipotle to apartment complexes wondering what building and apt. they're in, in the dark. 9. Know this is a short-term side hustle. You won't make more than $100 most shifts. If you want more $$ get a regular job. Other companies are better, like UberEats, Grubhub, and Amazon Flex. Work on multiple apps. as you cannot rely on DD alone to make ends meet. 10. You do not have to accept every job. If it's less than say $7-8 I don't accept it. 11. Always verify the order with the merchant before leaving. They usually won't mind, as they know customers get upset when the order is not correct. (Another reason for a one-star rating btw!!) 12. ALWAYS be polite to customers. Never argue with them or lecture them. They will 1-star you. Look at instructions as well. If they don't want to be bothered, leave the order on the doorstep. But always try to deliver it to them. If you cannot find their apt./house call them. If their order is running late I text them. That way they know where I am. 13. Customer Service is very unhelpful, and mgmt. well you never hear back from management. C/s is nice, but they document everything. Never lose your cool with them. You will get fired. 14. There are things beyond your control: i.e. car won't start, traffic is heavy, you get a flat tire. Call c/s and unassign delivery. Another driver can get your order then and p/u from you. c/s does understand this. You'll get a bad rating from the customer though, if you don't unassign. 15. Don't smoke in your car with food in there. And never be under the influence of anything while dashing. This sounds like a no-brainer, but I bet some younger folks actually do this. it's cause for immediate deactivation. 16. Keep your car clean and get regular oil changes and tune-ups. If it's not running well get it fixed. DD does not pay you for gas, mileage, and wear and tear, so keep that in mind. 17. Dress professionally at all times. You are the face of DD. And use your warm bag. 18. Never tamper with a customer's order. don't steal any of their food. You will have seals on some of the orders and they're there for a reason. 18. Get a cupholder and a hands free device for your car. 19. Never text and drive, and drive as safely as possible. don't road rage. Yes, some drivers are assholes. Don't be a dick too! 20. Don't do C.O.D. orders. DD will take that $$ from whatever you have made that day and week. Most of those customers are shut-ins at hotels. Not judging them but also be safe when dashing. Use common sense, and if a situation gets hostile, leave immediately. Always do verify it's the customer before releasing the order. With that I"m out for now! I'd say above all have fun, and try not to stress over your ratings too much. If they want to fire/deactivate you, they will. The job is harder if you do stress on that. At least YOU are not working behind those counters at fast food places, or having two or three bosses micromanaging you and yelling at you every day. That is STRESSFUL. Longer orders have longer drives, so crank up the tunes and enjoy your day!!
I work doordash in central Florida. Our minimum delivery is $6 which is nice. It is also very slow until about 1130am in my market. Once you have some experience with the restaurants in your area you will begin to see which ones are fast and efficient. I try not to wait any longer than 5 minutes. If you have to order yourself and you walk into a huge line you can always unassign the order. I think there are 2 good ways to make money with doordash. You can cherry pick expensive restaurants or big orders. Or you can do a lot of little ones that are not far in distance. What I like about doordash is it shows you exactly where you are going and shows the total mileage you will drive. My minimum is $1 per mile. For example $8 offer I will not accept anything over 8 miles. Again learn the restaurants and area. There are some places I will reject immediately because they are always slow. Time is money and we have to do our best to limit waiting time as much as possible. Thanks for doing the video. Enjoyed it.
The option to "clock in" and allocate time in doordash is actually pretty smart. They can use that for data on their end, meaning that if for example, they know you plan to work for x amount of time, they can already "queue" up another order that might be nearby your previous drop-off, instead of giving it to someone else who may be farther away. Pretty sure they collect tons of metadata, gps, etc. More orders, more money for drivers, faster deliveries. Also, including tip before hand is bad for those of who don't like to tip, but if there was ever a service industry to tip, it'd be someone delivering food to your door. It probably makes drivers more inclined to be more courteous, fast, patient, and willing to actually meet you at your door instead of outside.
Cheesecake Factory is a terrible merchant, it’s not doordash fault. (Orange County, CA) I also am a dasher, and have had to wait forever for them to have the food ready.
That's everywhere even in Walnut Creek CA. And I hate that we get marked down when restaurants are late. The app should recalculate the arrival time based on when we say we picked up the food.
I'm a Grandpa Dasher.. I work the UCR area of Riverside. I've had students try to tip me in cash. I'll refuse it. I dont need the money. I tell them to keep their money. Keep it you're a student and use towards yourself. I've been their as a student. I do Doordash for fun. I cant sit around at night.
On some good nights in Denver I can make upwards of 40$ an hour, I usually only dash weekends because of the extra pay and usually works out really good
One tip i would give is to put the food in the trunk of your car. You don't want your car smelling of food. I've done different kinds of deliveries, Pizza Hut, Uber Eats and now doing Doordash. I watch a lot of these videos and none of them I have seen putting the food in the trunk.
I’ve watched most of ur videos and I used to leave a small or no tip I will now try to tip 3-4 dollars everytime now if I can afford it thanks for opening my eyes
Actually door dash steals drivers tips. If you tip nothing in app doordash will pay the driver like 5 or 6 bucks. If you tip 6 bucks in app doordash pays the driver nothing. So basically doordash wants you to pay the drivers so they don't have to. Always tip in cash.
@@spiderxanzz9062 yeah and they kept it...they only guarantee the driver $1 per delivery "plus tips" per there policy..irregardless of what you the end user pays or thinks your giving for a tip..these type of company's are a scam for both the drivers and patrons..they steal form the working /poor drivers who have no actual way of proving what was tipped other than what DD says which is BS and the paying customers at the same time with false beliefs and hidden fees to make it seem like such a great deal and how you are helping out the driver while lining their pockets at the same time...can't wait till they are sued out of business and made illegal for these type of company's to ever do business again .. If you want to tip the driver tip them cash that's the only way you can be sure they actually got it.
Just did my first day of Door Dash and made a total of $122.90 for 5 hours of work. But it's also after a snow storm and in washington state. Still a good first day though!
The reason that you make that much money in the morning it’s because The percentage of Dasher using door Dash as a part-time job after 5 PM is greater than that shirt did you do Dash in the morning or around noon
Dashing all day is a waste. You either do lunch (11-2) or dinner (5-10) or it's not worth it. Morning shifts can be ok in cities but it's mostly for people who work a job later in the day. If you only dash during peak times (lunch & dinner) you shouldn't be making less than $18/hr.
I started dashing about three weeks ago and I really like it so far. I’ve already made over 200 and that’s just working a couple of hours after work now and then.
Working in the restaurant business, and my point of view, there has to be some incentive for the person taking your order and getting it ready and meeting all the needs of the customer. Because doordash does not tip the restaurant, or the person doing the Togo order. The Togo person has no rush or care to even get it right. Especially cooperate business. So if you end up waiting 20 minutes for a Togo order. I’m sure the restaurant don’t care.
And no you don’t want them to fill the cups for you. If they do it, I ask them to refill it again before I leave. It could be watered down and gross and you will get downrated for that by a good chunk of customers. I myself don’t order drinks from door dash because 80% of the time they are watered down and the ice has melted by the time I get it.
These videos give a great perspective because I was on the other side. I was a FOH manager for a restaurant and we did door dash, Uber eats,etc. And when it comes to waiting I feel like the restaurant itself plays a role when you’re waiting. When we get the orders for pick up. You have to accept the order, enter the order on pos system, and then accept on [insert delivery service] and it give you the option to tell the driver how long it’s gonna take. I was pretty dead on accurate most of the time so most of the drivers just picked up and left. But sometimes restaurants gets busy at peak dine in hours and orders are coming from all the apps. If you don’t accept the order the service apps call the restaurant to double confirm. And sometimes we just accept it so it would beeping or getting called bc we are so busy. The driver sees we accepted it but with no time suggestion and we enter it as the drivers walk in which is bad but most of the time if we know we are busy we’ll give a longer pick time. So instead of 10 mins it might 30-40 mins for the driver come by
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing your experiment with us. I continue to learn more with each episode that you put out. You have a great combination of passion about what you are doing, good production & story telling, and excellent personality. Please keep it up!
That sucks I hope DoorDash fixes the wait times and it notifies you when the order is actually ready. I have respect for you doordashers and Uber drivers. I always try to give cash tips :)
You should have done 11am -8pm. Or the same as the Uber eats video 11am-11pm for a better comparison. Also Friday’s people still work so maybe if you start 3pm-1am that could help.
@@johnnyp3839 I work during the busy hours when they off the extra delivery pay but sometimes I feel like I get more back to back orders when you start earlier before the busy hours start. What's your tip on that ?
Samuel Woods while I agree with that it’s also the kind of job you have to be smart and work with general schedules of most people. And work with the environment as well. If you’re in a business offices type area. You know people work 9-5 and lunch is around 12-1pm. If you’re at a residential area you wanna start later when people get home.
Thank you for sharing that Cheesecake Factory experience and giving that awesome suggestion to flag merchants who repeatedly take long to prepare the food ! I scheduled my first Door Dash shift for this Saturday (March 23rd) and I’ve been watching Door Dash RUclips videos all day. This is definitely one of the most informative and raw videos I’ve watched ! Keep up the good work☺️ #newsubscriber
I live in china and the food delivery here (called 外卖) is much more efficient here. You order on your phone using the delivery app, you only pay 3 yuan for delivery (less than 50 cents). The delivery guys always ride scooters to save on gas money and have big bins attached to their scooters where they store several orders at a time. They pick up several orders, then deliver several orders all simultaneously. It's great.
Shady I Dash in Louisville, KY. I like 6:00 am to 10:30 am. I guess there aren’t many dashers here. They regularly pay $2 to $6 per delivery bonus. But without the per delivery bonus, you’re right. It’s a crap time to dash.
I recommend reminding restaurants that ask you to fill drinks and such that the law requires a food handler's permit. They could get in trouble with Dept. of Health for such requests. It's also a liability for the restaurant. I'm surprised they don't care about that. Really like your videos and style.
Thats about how much i make in half the time or less.. although ive had a few bad days where i wait around too and made bad money For people reading, make sure you go during dinner or lunch times to get bonus money per delivery. Thats what i did.
They don’t sent drivers Drivers pick which orders they wanna take themselves so can go to restaurants soon as they see the order pop up in the driver app
BTW, for tips, you get 100% of it, But that means doordash themselves pays you whatever is left of the gaurenteed pay (so, gaurenteed is 7, the person Tips you 5, doordash pays you 2) yup
@@ProfJul The tip subsidizes the guaranteed payout. Trip = 8.00 guaranteed. Customer "tips" 3.00. The company only pays out 5.00 of their money and uses the "tip" to make it = the 8.00 guarantee.
Doordash in Tacoma area pays no less than 6.50 per order. Ubereats has a better pay structure. Like previous commenters posted you should work multiple apps at once. Again though doordash wants you to schedule so you have to pause if you get an Uber order. Your dash is automatically expired if you pause more than 35 minutes though.
Working for a real restaurant makes you more For example, this past Thursday I made $141 in tips and Friday I made $114 but during those hours I’m also getting payed $9.65 an hour from my store
@@bryanmiller476 ya but u got a boss and cant choose when to work. Doordash isnt meant to pay a ton. It's a good sidegig or a job for young people looking to make easy money to spend
People who order food value their time. The time I take to get the food myself especially, if it is like 3-4 miles a way, I can use that time more productively, doing my work. It costs more for the food but, you pay for convenience and to save time.
My first day driving for doordash I made $72 with 8trips in 6hrs. The job isn’t bad you just have to drive towards the hot spots to get more orders. Also I used about $10 worth of gas.
I fill up cups all the time. Sometime the restaurants don't have time to get the order completely done when you get there so you save time filling up drinks so don't have to stay and wait for them to fill up.
Just finished out my week with door dash at $1037.99. That was 51.9 hours. I do work peak hours and there were good bonuses this week. I understand both sides of the pick up schedule. The app does give us a projected pick up time for food but often the order is ready before this time. That's why we come directly to the restaurant when we get the order. Sometimes we need to wait. If we arrive before the pick up time and the food's ready, it's a good day. :) And restaurant employees, don't get frustrated when we ask you to go through the order with us. If we arrive to the customer without missing items, we make you look good. :)
I work at a restaurant that receives orders through Doordash. We can also request Doordash drivers to deliver our orders. When we are really busy and quoting our customers a certain amount of time for our orders, that same time applies for Doordash orders but there is no way to get that information to Doordash drivers. Sometimes they show up within minutes of us receiving the order and there is no possible way we can have that order ready nor is it fair to push their order ahead of other orders that were received first. If we are quoting 30 minutes for an order but a driver shows up in 5 minutes because he was in the area, obviously things aren't going to work out for both parties. The same applies when it's a big order that can't possibly made quickly even under optimal circumstances. Sometimes we don't receive an order (usually due to technical difficulties) so we don't confirm it when we get an automated call to confirm the order but no one gets in touch with us to see why we haven't confirmed an order and a driver gets dispatched anyways so I wonder what is even the point of confirming orders. On busy nights, we have so much going on that it's really impractical for us to be on the phone on hold when there are so many other things that needs to be done. Also, when we request drivers to deliver our food and we are busy, we try to request an appropriate time for when we think the order will be ready but, again, they show up before that time and then get mad at us. Either that information isn't making its way to the drivers or they are ignoring it. There are also instances where we request a driver but it takes forever for one to be assigned to an order and food is just sitting there waiting to be picked up. One of the most infuriating parts of this process is when drivers just indicate that an order "could not be delivered" without making any efforts to get in touch with the customer or with us. We don't find out until 1-2 hours later when the customer calls asking about their order and then we have to investigate. Maybe drivers just do that when they get hungry and want to keep an order? I get that this can be frustrating for drivers but it's also incredibly frustrating for the workers that have to deal with all these third parties so a little more understanding from drivers would be greatly appreciated. And for any Doordash drivers reading this, try to be friendly and courteous. Don't just show up and shove a phone in our face because that's rude and annoying as hell. From my experience as a restaurant worker, Doordash has major flaws but UberEats and Postmates are absolute garbage.
@@johnnyp3839 Those are all fair points. The restaurant I work for has its own delivery system that's being replaced by Doordash so I have experienced all of the scenarios you listed on deliveries of my own. However, the thing that sucks about having Doordash drivers fulfill our orders (orders that were placed directly through us, not through the app) is that, as you mentioned, they don't get any sort of compensation for time spent waiting and there is no incentive to make sure it gets delivered to not make us look bad because they don't work for us. Our own drivers would always try to call the customer multiple times if no one was coming to the door and then call the restaurant to explain what is going on so that someone from the restaurant could try calling (sometimes people don't answer random phone numbers but do answer the restaurant number). Then, if there was still no answer, the driver would be told to come back. Obviously, that's a huge pain in the ass for someone that gets paid per order and not an hourly wage but it makes our lives more difficult when we get a phone call 2 hours later from a customer checking on their order and then we have to investigate and tell them that the Doordash driver didn't try hard enough. Out of all the "could not deliver" instances, I think only one had a wrong address. The others were just pure laziness because we always verify the address and phone number when we're taking an order, some of which are from longtime customers that we've had no problem delivering to before. When I've told drivers to call us if they encounter any issues with their delivery before indicating that they "could not deliver", some get offended and give me attitude. Also, what's up with drivers indicating that the food has been delivered before even picking it up from the restaurant?
@@EligioTapia Yeah it's the customer's job to watch the app/answer the phone, door/give clear delivery instructions. Why should a driver "try hard" when they can go on to another order with a good customer to make more money? Sometimes their building doesn't even have a number on it.
Joseph Huang if that were policy them many more orders would go undelivered. A significant percentage of orders are declined for 10+ minutes by various drivers until someone finally accepts it. If you add “well this order is now late and I will get a negative rating because of it” to the drivers decision making process, then it’s pretty easy to turn down orders like that.
Eligio Tapia so you assume that it’s “pure laziness” on the part of the driver, while also assuming that it’s rarely if ever the customer’s fault. I can tell you FOR CERTAIN that EVERY delivery that I failed to complete was the customer’s fault. From not providing a gate code and saying “just wait for another car” to failing to include their apartment number and refusing to answer their phone to not inputting their entire address and having a disconnected number. Yes there are some drivers gaming the system, there are bad apples in any bunch, but it’s almost always the fault of the customer if food cannot be delivered just like if the customer’s order is incorrect then it’s almost always the restaurant at fault....but sure, blame the parcel carrier so no one has to take responsibility for their actions anymore
You think your making money with Doordash but in reality they are screwing you out of your tips. That and they don't give AF about you. Was dashing on Valentine's Day 2018 and as I was getting to the pickup location, I had a bad asthma attack. Reassigned the delivery and went straight to the nearest ER and was admitted to the hospital. Later I noticed that my acceptance rate had took a hit so I wrote support and explained to them what happened. Their response was basically " Not our problem" and "You shouldn't have accepted the order if you knew you couldn't do it". I was furious! It's not like I planned on having a asthma attack. Anyhow I told Doordash FU and haven't done a delivery for them bastards since then
There is a button that if they are not answering or anything you can leave with their order and you will still get paid.. the only difference is that now you have free food
Possibly but Idk if I'd recommend running all apps at once because say you get a postmate and your accepting it mean while ignoring the other apps your acceptance rate will hurt and dd requires you to be at a specific rate other wise they will deactivate you 😔
MF' Cherry That’s exactly the problem with using multiple platforms at once. I’m signed up for Uber, DoorDash and Postmates. I’ve logged into two at a time and it never fails. No deliveries for both and then they both pop off at the same time. It screws up your acceptance rate and you get less deliveries. You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I prefer Uber, even though I get less tips. The platform is much easier to navigate than the others. The ease of payouts and having the food ready and not needing to order and pay is a huge bonus. You need to make it work for you. Only deliver during the busy times. Lunch & dinner.
I've worked for postmates for a week. I get a ring every 20 mins. Sweet spots: 10 am to 4 pm. 630pm to 10 pm. I've only spent 35 mins at most from start to finish on one trip. Start when you want, end when you want. Not bad. Most I've made in 3 hours is about $60 dollars. And its always the 3 hour sweet spots.
As a door dash user, I can say that it automatically defaults a tip into your order and you can adjust it to go higher or lower, but I don’t think you can opt out of it completely. I think it’s mandatory. I could be wrong. I always tip, so I’m not sure.
Jas D - yes yes yes. If a delivery person was filming me while giving me my food and told me I was going to be on You Tube, I would say NO and give them a VERY VERY low rating. Sorry to be a "tight wod" but...I'm just saying...
I started doing DD 2/3/19 made $16.16 working 509pm to 644pm. 2/4 through 2/6 I have worked about 11.5 hours and already made $139.65 plus $10 cash tip and have scheduled myself for 2/7 and 2/8 long shifts as those are my days off at my ft job. I'm actually liking it and making decent side money doing it even if all I grab is a couple of hours at a time. Dash now is great when they are offering the extra per order when busy.
I agree! This guy has such a pleasant attitude and seems very polite. I subscribed after viewing 2 videos, not because I'm in this line of work, but because he's so nice, speaks well and is pretty forthcoming when sharing his earnings.
North Carolina, especially in Charlotte and Gastonia, are very difficult places to work at with doordash. I work from Monday to Friday, 9 hours a day, and as a mother of two autistic kids, it really is hard for me to raise money with the low amount that this app pays me. And unfortunately, most of the places I go to, are just full of inconsiderate people who only give 1-2 dollar tips. 65% of the day, I am not even tipped. I already have to replace my car's tires, because they are burned out after so much driving I did :/
*To be honest i would never order food from Uber eats or something similar. Maybe the delivery guy can do something to my food. Who knows crazy people out there.*
i never doordash until after 5 pm because thats the only time its worth it, during the extra peak pay hours. dinner time is usually more than breakfast and lunch.
You're absolutely right, the restaurants need to be required to push a ready button or something before you guys have to show up. If anything, I would call doordash if I was in your shoes and had to wait for an order so they can start the clock.
I'm a software engineer by trade, and make a pretty good living. But, I actually just signed up for Doordash, just to try it out as a hobby (maybe just on Saturdays or some evenings). I'm planning on blowing all the money I'll make on frivolous stuff like makeup and video games and junk food. Maybe I'll even give some to a charity or the homeless. I'm actually really excited. I used to work as a pizza delivery driver in my college years, and had lots of fun doing that :)
$84.93. Thank me Later
Naw, I'm actually interested in the full video.
@HQ Fap Edits $10.62 an hour - gas - taxes- car maintenance/wear and tear, etc.
$85 - 25.50 or better for taxes $10 for gas most likely so maybe $50 to get to take home if you lucky or less for a full day's work and don't forget so you're a subcontractor so you got to pay higher rates for insurance on the car is can't forget about that so it's only $45 for full day's work
lmao thank you
LOL thanks

That's $20 an hour, pretty good considering the min. wage in most places, where I live it's only 7.25/hr.
@@ForThingsRemembered your dumb..
Door Dash doesnt give the driver the full tip. Tip your driver in cash.
are you sure? I tried doordash yesterday for the first time. In the bill or check out it said Door Dash tip...then it went on to say 100% for the driver. I did a $9 tip. When the driver came to my house,I asked her if she got the tip....she said yes. I think they do get the full tip.
@@boohere2 Drivers have no way of knowing what you tip until you end your ride for the day.
@@boohere2 Google it. It's a big issue at the moment. They are being investigated for deceptive pay practices.
@@buckeye-pe6df that's a pretty dumbed down version of what is happening right now. if you really googled it you would know that instacart was the main target. say an order is $13 before tip. the customer would tip $6 but the driver would still only get $13 not $19. instacart was adjusting rates because of a tip and that was disgusting. i havent read into it any further but i highly doubt door dash does this specifically because their dasherhelp subdomain literally says:
A guaranteed minimum is displayed upfront for every Drive order. Dashers will earn base pay + *100% of tips* received by DoorDash from the merchant or the customer. If the base pay + tip is less than the guaranteed minimum offered, Dashers will receive the guaranteed minimum amount. If the base pay + tip is greater than the guaranteed minimum, Dashers will receive base pay + tip.
Yeap once min rate + tip reaches the guaranteed $ amount doordash keeps the rest of the tip money. If customer decides not to tip at all then doordash claims they pay drivers to bring it up to guaranteed amount which is so confusing to figure out while doing deliveries one after another.
Doordash is very hit or miss. When the weather is bad, you can make some serious dough. Bad weather = at least 30/hr for me and my area.
Lol I use Doordash heavily on rainy days.

I don't know, that seems to be the case with any food delivery app. If the weather is bad then people are more likely to use the app because they don't want to go outside themselves.
when I order online I give 10% when they arrive at the house I give $ 5 more
maybe i should start doing that. I did 15% tip yesterday.i didnt know if i was allowed to give cash to them as a tip.

Question: I tried doordash yesterday for the first time.At check out or on the bill it said Driver Tip and it gave me a percentage to choose on how much to tip (10%, 15% , 20%....etc) I did the %15 percent which was $9 tip.It said that the driver gets 100% of the full tip. So is that true? I just wonder if i use the service again should i tip in cash? I want the driver to get that full tip, and the site does say it's for the driver fully.
Pasta Chocolate If you can, definitely cash. They supplement how much they pay the drivers with the tips.

I order often on doordash. The customer gives the tip. I am in a wheelchair and it's hard to get around. Doordash is great. I'm able to order food i normally wouldn't be able to. Some places do charge a lot for delivery.
I appreciate you giving it the full day and trying. I have been dashing for about a month and half, and I have some suggestions and tips:
1. Dash from 11-2 pm and 5-9 pm, or later if you can. These tend to be the busiest times, and you can get peak pay up to a $2-3 more per order plus maybe more tips.
2. Speaking of tips, you will almost NEVER get cash tips from customers. Your tips are on the app. if you look at it under times you worked. Best tippers in my area are bigger orders, i.e. Safeway and large orders of food from nicer restaurants. Some of these orders can be hefty making you $20-30/order.
3. Don't ask for tips from customers, and don't ask them to rate you five stars. Don't force convos. with them either. They just want their food. If they initiate conversation, great! Then shoot the breeze.
4. Avoid Cheesecake Factory, chic-fil-A, and small drive up coffee shops. Chic-fil-A is a clusterfuck at lunch. Be prepared to wait at least ten minutes for your order. Go up at arrival, say you're from DD, then go sit down. Never get in their faces. I go to the restroom and check my phone.
5. If a merchant says they don't have your order, check to see if you're at the right restaurant first, then if you are place the order yourself. Contact c/s to get approved to use your red card. If a merchant plays games with you, is rude, or makes you wait 15 minutes past the p/u time, UNASSIGN YOURSELF from the delivery. Never argue with these folks. You will get de-activated for that.
6. You WILL get low ratings. DD customers are ruthless when it comes to ratings. But typically, if the food is kept warm, drinks not spilled, cold foods kept cold, and they get it on time, you'll be okay. Still, you can be polite af and still see your ratings go down two tenths of a point at the end of the day. It's happened to me numerous times. It sucks, but unless your CR goes below 4.00/5.00, you probably won't be deactivated.
7. Never deliver to a high school student. Do NOT do it. You are not authorized to be on that campus. And if you're caught texting say a h.s. girl and being unauthorized, you could be in serious trouble. I lucked out as I dropped her order off at the office, and fully explained myself the staff and VP. I showed them her texts.
8. Avoid college towns. College kids don't tip well, are pretentious and rude, and you'll be busy delivering Chipotle to apartment complexes wondering what building and apt. they're in, in the dark.
9. Know this is a short-term side hustle. You won't make more than $100 most shifts. If you want more $$ get a regular job. Other companies are better, like UberEats, Grubhub, and Amazon Flex. Work on multiple apps. as you cannot rely on DD alone to make ends meet.
10. You do not have to accept every job. If it's less than say $7-8 I don't accept it.
11. Always verify the order with the merchant before leaving. They usually won't mind, as they know customers get upset when the order is not correct. (Another reason for a one-star rating btw!!)
12. ALWAYS be polite to customers. Never argue with them or lecture them. They will 1-star you. Look at instructions as well. If they don't want to be bothered, leave the order on the doorstep. But always try to deliver it to them. If you cannot find their apt./house call them. If their order is running late I text them. That way they know where I am.
13. Customer Service is very unhelpful, and mgmt. well you never hear back from management. C/s is nice, but they document everything. Never lose your cool with them. You will get fired.
14. There are things beyond your control: i.e. car won't start, traffic is heavy, you get a flat tire. Call c/s and unassign delivery. Another driver can get your order then and p/u from you. c/s does understand this. You'll get a bad rating from the customer though, if you don't unassign.
15. Don't smoke in your car with food in there. And never be under the influence of anything while dashing. This sounds like a no-brainer, but I bet some younger folks actually do this. it's cause for immediate deactivation.
16. Keep your car clean and get regular oil changes and tune-ups. If it's not running well get it fixed. DD does not pay you for gas, mileage, and wear and tear, so keep that in mind.
17. Dress professionally at all times. You are the face of DD. And use your warm bag.
18. Never tamper with a customer's order. don't steal any of their food. You will have seals on some of the orders and they're there for a reason.
18. Get a cupholder and a hands free device for your car.
19. Never text and drive, and drive as safely as possible. don't road rage. Yes, some drivers are assholes. Don't be a dick too!
20. Don't do C.O.D. orders. DD will take that $$ from whatever you have made that day and week. Most of those customers are shut-ins at hotels. Not judging them but also be safe when dashing. Use common sense, and if a situation gets hostile, leave immediately. Always do verify it's the customer before releasing the order. With that I"m out for now!
I'd say above all have fun, and try not to stress over your ratings too much. If they want to fire/deactivate you, they will. The job is harder if you do stress on that. At least YOU are not working behind those counters at fast food places, or having two or three bosses micromanaging you and yelling at you every day. That is STRESSFUL. Longer orders have longer drives, so crank up the tunes and enjoy your day!!
I started Doordash last night, I was out from 6-7pm and I made $43 on 4 deliveries. I'm in the Minneapolis area, so far so good.

I work doordash in central Florida. Our minimum delivery is $6 which is nice. It is also very slow until about 1130am in my market. Once you have some experience with the restaurants in your area you will begin to see which ones are fast and efficient. I try not to wait any longer than 5 minutes. If you have to order yourself and you walk into a huge line you can always unassign the order. I think there are 2 good ways to make money with doordash. You can cherry pick expensive restaurants or big orders. Or you can do a lot of little ones that are not far in distance. What I like about doordash is it shows you exactly where you are going and shows the total mileage you will drive. My minimum is $1 per mile. For example $8 offer I will not accept anything over 8 miles. Again learn the restaurants and area. There are some places I will reject immediately because they are always slow. Time is money and we have to do our best to limit waiting time as much as possible. Thanks for doing the video. Enjoyed it.
The option to "clock in" and allocate time in doordash is actually pretty smart. They can use that for data on their end, meaning that if for example, they know you plan to work for x amount of time, they can already "queue" up another order that might be nearby your previous drop-off, instead of giving it to someone else who may be farther away. Pretty sure they collect tons of metadata, gps, etc. More orders, more money for drivers, faster deliveries. Also, including tip before hand is bad for those of who don't like to tip, but if there was ever a service industry to tip, it'd be someone delivering food to your door. It probably makes drivers more inclined to be more courteous, fast, patient, and willing to actually meet you at your door instead of outside.
I wonder why you'd stop at 5 pm when after 5 is probably busiest.

One tip i would give is to put the food in the trunk of your car. You don't want your car smelling of food. I've done different kinds of deliveries, Pizza Hut, Uber Eats and now doing Doordash. I watch a lot of these videos and none of them I have seen putting the food in the trunk.
I’ve watched most of ur videos and I used to leave a small or no tip I will now try to tip 3-4 dollars everytime now if I can afford it thanks for opening my eyes
Actually door dash steals drivers tips. If you tip nothing in app doordash will pay the driver like 5 or 6 bucks. If you tip 6 bucks in app doordash pays the driver nothing. So basically doordash wants you to pay the drivers so they don't have to. Always tip in cash.
Door dash gives no option for no tip.

If you want to tip the driver tip them cash that's the only way you can be sure they actually got it.

As long as I clock in about 8am I’ll do between 60-80 dollars in 4 hrs. It took a while but once you learn your area you can make real money
The reason that you make that much money in the morning it’s because The percentage of Dasher using door Dash as a part-time job after 5 PM is greater than that shirt did you do Dash in the morning or around noon
Dashing all day is a waste. You either do lunch (11-2) or dinner (5-10) or it's not worth it. Morning shifts can be ok in cities but it's mostly for people who work a job later in the day. If you only dash during peak times (lunch & dinner) you shouldn't be making less than $18/hr.
10:30 - 2:30 is better tbh.
I started dashing about three weeks ago and I really like it so far. I’ve already made over 200 and that’s just working a couple of hours after work now and then.
Libertarirynn Videos I got another 200 for some sloppy toppy 👀
Working in the restaurant business, and my point of view, there has to be some incentive for the person taking your order and getting it ready and meeting all the needs of the customer. Because doordash does not tip the restaurant, or the person doing the Togo order. The Togo person has no rush or care to even get it right. Especially cooperate business. So if you end up waiting 20 minutes for a Togo order. I’m sure the restaurant don’t care.
Dang, I can make $100 in 3 hours easily off DoorDash in my area 😴

The Merchant should only hit ready when the food is ready. you can complain on the app and DoorDash will compensate you
How do you even get in contact with them?!?
@@jenbissell3926 There is a contact support button on the app...
And no you don’t want them to fill the cups for you. If they do it, I ask them to refill it again before I leave. It could be watered down and gross and you will get downrated for that by a good chunk of customers. I myself don’t order drinks from door dash because 80% of the time they are watered down and the ice has melted by the time I get it.
These videos give a great perspective because I was on the other side. I was a FOH manager for a restaurant and we did door dash, Uber eats,etc. And when it comes to waiting I feel like the restaurant itself plays a role when you’re waiting. When we get the orders for pick up. You have to accept the order, enter the order on pos system, and then accept on [insert delivery service] and it give you the option to tell the driver how long it’s gonna take. I was pretty dead on accurate most of the time so most of the drivers just picked up and left. But sometimes restaurants gets busy at peak dine in hours and orders are coming from all the apps. If you don’t accept the order the service apps call the restaurant to double confirm. And sometimes we just accept it so it would beeping or getting called bc we are so busy. The driver sees we accepted it but with no time suggestion and we enter it as the drivers walk in which is bad but most of the time if we know we are busy we’ll give a longer pick time. So instead of 10 mins it might 30-40 mins for the driver come by
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing your experiment with us. I continue to learn more with each episode that you put out. You have a great combination of passion about what you are doing, good production & story telling, and excellent personality. Please keep it up!
That sucks I hope DoorDash fixes the wait times and it notifies you when the order is actually ready. I have respect for you doordashers and Uber drivers. I always try to give cash tips :)

@@johnnyp3839 I work during the busy hours when they off the extra delivery pay but sometimes I feel like I get more back to back orders when you start earlier before the busy hours start. What's your tip on that ?
Samuel Woods while I agree with that it’s also the kind of job you have to be smart and work with general schedules of most people. And work with the environment as well. If you’re in a business offices type area. You know people work 9-5 and lunch is around 12-1pm. If you’re at a residential area you wanna start later when people get home.
Thank you for sharing that Cheesecake Factory experience and giving that awesome suggestion to flag merchants who repeatedly take long to prepare the food !

This is definitely one of the most informative and raw videos I’ve watched ! Keep up the good work☺️ #newsubscriber
Just a friendly advise, try to accept and complete all the orders you are receiving specially working on peak hours. - Dasher Support here. :)
What is the underlying benefit to this specifically?
I live in china and the food delivery here (called 外卖) is much more efficient here. You order on your phone using the delivery app, you only pay 3 yuan for delivery (less than 50 cents). The delivery guys always ride scooters to save on gas money and have big bins attached to their scooters where they store several orders at a time. They pick up several orders, then deliver several orders all simultaneously. It's great.
nubemuffin for you
9-5 is stupid times for this type of job. do 5-2 and you will make more money with less hours, just saying.
Shady I Dash in Louisville, KY. I like 6:00 am to 10:30 am. I guess there aren’t many dashers here. They regularly pay $2 to $6 per delivery bonus. But without the per delivery bonus, you’re right. It’s a crap time to dash.
I recommend reminding restaurants that ask you to fill drinks and such that the law requires a food handler's permit. They could get in trouble with Dept. of Health for such requests. It's also a liability for the restaurant. I'm surprised they don't care about that. Really like your videos and style.
Thats about how much i make in half the time or less.. although ive had a few bad days where i wait around too and made bad money
For people reading, make sure you go during dinner or lunch times to get bonus money per delivery. Thats what i did.
I made $158.10 in 4 hours in Birmingham, AL... my first day. I usually make about 20 or $30 per hour.
Number one complain from the restaurant side is they send the driver as soon as the order comes in. So this is very bad in doordash's side.
Well most restaurants are going to be 10-15 minutes late with the order anyway, so what does it matter?
They don’t sent drivers
Drivers pick which orders they wanna take themselves so can go to restaurants soon as they see the order pop up in the driver app
Its crazy how most people dont tip. I usually give cash tips of a few dollars everytime
BTW, for tips, you get 100% of it, But that means doordash themselves pays you whatever is left of the gaurenteed pay (so, gaurenteed is 7, the person Tips you 5, doordash pays you 2) yup
So they pay you nothing if you get tipped more than the guarantee pay?
@@ProfJul
The tip subsidizes the guaranteed payout. Trip = 8.00 guaranteed. Customer "tips" 3.00. The company only pays out 5.00 of their money and uses the "tip" to make it = the 8.00 guarantee.

Doordash in Tacoma area pays no less than 6.50 per order. Ubereats has a better pay structure. Like previous commenters posted you should work multiple apps at once. Again though doordash wants you to schedule so you have to pause if you get an Uber order. Your dash is automatically expired if you pause more than 35 minutes though.
I work just 4pm til about 9pm and make at least $120
Working for a real restaurant makes you more
For example, this past Thursday I made $141 in tips and Friday I made $114 but during those hours I’m also getting payed $9.65 an hour from my store
@@bryanmiller476 ya but u got a boss and cant choose when to work. Doordash isnt meant to pay a ton. It's a good sidegig or a job for young people looking to make easy money to spend
$120 bucks in 5 hours, not bad.
People who order food value their time. The time I take to get the food myself especially, if it is like 3-4 miles a way, I can use that time more productively, doing my work. It costs more for the food but, you pay for convenience and to save time.
My first day driving for doordash I made $72 with 8trips in 6hrs. The job isn’t bad you just have to drive towards the hot spots to get more orders. Also I used about $10 worth of gas.
I fill up cups all the time. Sometime the restaurants don't have time to get the order completely done when you get there so you save time filling up drinks so don't have to stay and wait for them to fill up.
Postmates pays for time you have to wait for the food. So if you have to wait 20 minutes you get the food you get paid for that
You get less than a dollar even if you have to wait close to an hour, AND you alwayd get a bad rating (for something that isn't even your fault).
Uber Eats pays for wait time!
Just finished out my week with door dash at $1037.99. That was 51.9 hours. I do work peak hours and there were good bonuses this week. I understand both sides of the pick up schedule. The app does give us a projected pick up time for food but often the order is ready before this time. That's why we come directly to the restaurant when we get the order. Sometimes we need to wait. If we arrive before the pick up time and the food's ready, it's a good day. :) And restaurant employees, don't get frustrated when we ask you to go through the order with us. If we arrive to the customer without missing items, we make you look good. :)
Gotta remeber taxes. They dont take out taxes so when you file your taxes youll have to pay. And they do report your earnings to the irs

Love the videos. I work at a restaurant with doordash Uber eats grub hub and postmates. It’s nice to see the different perspective.
This is AWESOME.
I've been doing doordash for a couple months now, and it was entertaining watching you figure out how it works.
I work at a restaurant that receives orders through Doordash. We can also request Doordash drivers to deliver our orders. When we are really busy and quoting our customers a certain amount of time for our orders, that same time applies for Doordash orders but there is no way to get that information to Doordash drivers. Sometimes they show up within minutes of us receiving the order and there is no possible way we can have that order ready nor is it fair to push their order ahead of other orders that were received first. If we are quoting 30 minutes for an order but a driver shows up in 5 minutes because he was in the area, obviously things aren't going to work out for both parties. The same applies when it's a big order that can't possibly made quickly even under optimal circumstances.
Sometimes we don't receive an order (usually due to technical difficulties) so we don't confirm it when we get an automated call to confirm the order but no one gets in touch with us to see why we haven't confirmed an order and a driver gets dispatched anyways so I wonder what is even the point of confirming orders. On busy nights, we have so much going on that it's really impractical for us to be on the phone on hold when there are so many other things that needs to be done.
Also, when we request drivers to deliver our food and we are busy, we try to request an appropriate time for when we think the order will be ready but, again, they show up before that time and then get mad at us. Either that information isn't making its way to the drivers or they are ignoring it. There are also instances where we request a driver but it takes forever for one to be assigned to an order and food is just sitting there waiting to be picked up. One of the most infuriating parts of this process is when drivers just indicate that an order "could not be delivered" without making any efforts to get in touch with the customer or with us. We don't find out until 1-2 hours later when the customer calls asking about their order and then we have to investigate. Maybe drivers just do that when they get hungry and want to keep an order?
I get that this can be frustrating for drivers but it's also incredibly frustrating for the workers that have to deal with all these third parties so a little more understanding from drivers would be greatly appreciated. And for any Doordash drivers reading this, try to be friendly and courteous. Don't just show up and shove a phone in our face because that's rude and annoying as hell.
From my experience as a restaurant worker, Doordash has major flaws but UberEats and Postmates are absolute garbage.
DoorDash shouldn't even show the order to drivers until the food is almost ready, but they don't.
@@johnnyp3839 Those are all fair points. The restaurant I work for has its own delivery system that's being replaced by Doordash so I have experienced all of the scenarios you listed on deliveries of my own. However, the thing that sucks about having Doordash drivers fulfill our orders (orders that were placed directly through us, not through the app) is that, as you mentioned, they don't get any sort of compensation for time spent waiting and there is no incentive to make sure it gets delivered to not make us look bad because they don't work for us. Our own drivers would always try to call the customer multiple times if no one was coming to the door and then call the restaurant to explain what is going on so that someone from the restaurant could try calling (sometimes people don't answer random phone numbers but do answer the restaurant number). Then, if there was still no answer, the driver would be told to come back.
Obviously, that's a huge pain in the ass for someone that gets paid per order and not an hourly wage but it makes our lives more difficult when we get a phone call 2 hours later from a customer checking on their order and then we have to investigate and tell them that the Doordash driver didn't try hard enough. Out of all the "could not deliver" instances, I think only one had a wrong address. The others were just pure laziness because we always verify the address and phone number when we're taking an order, some of which are from longtime customers that we've had no problem delivering to before. When I've told drivers to call us if they encounter any issues with their delivery before indicating that they "could not deliver", some get offended and give me attitude.
Also, what's up with drivers indicating that the food has been delivered before even picking it up from the restaurant?
@@EligioTapia Yeah it's the customer's job to watch the app/answer the phone, door/give clear delivery instructions. Why should a driver "try hard" when they can go on to another order with a good customer to make more money?
Sometimes their building doesn't even have a number on it.
Joseph Huang if that were policy them many more orders would go undelivered. A significant percentage of orders are declined for 10+ minutes by various drivers until someone finally accepts it. If you add “well this order is now late and I will get a negative rating because of it” to the drivers decision making process, then it’s pretty easy to turn down orders like that.
Eligio Tapia so you assume that it’s “pure laziness” on the part of the driver, while also assuming that it’s rarely if ever the customer’s fault. I can tell you FOR CERTAIN that EVERY delivery that I failed to complete was the customer’s fault. From not providing a gate code and saying “just wait for another car” to failing to include their apartment number and refusing to answer their phone to not inputting their entire address and having a disconnected number. Yes there are some drivers gaming the system, there are bad apples in any bunch, but it’s almost always the fault of the customer if food cannot be delivered just like if the customer’s order is incorrect then it’s almost always the restaurant at fault....but sure, blame the parcel carrier so no one has to take responsibility for their actions anymore
You are a good person. I like your attitude. God bless you
You think your making money with Doordash but in reality they are screwing you out of your tips. That and they don't give AF about you. Was dashing on Valentine's Day 2018 and as I was getting to the pickup location, I had a bad asthma attack. Reassigned the delivery and went straight to the nearest ER and was admitted to the hospital.
Later I noticed that my acceptance rate had took a hit so I wrote support and explained to them what happened. Their response was basically " Not our problem" and "You shouldn't have accepted the order if you knew you couldn't do it". I was furious! It's not like I planned on having a asthma attack. Anyhow I told Doordash FU and haven't done a delivery for them bastards since then
Anytime they ask you to make a drink, you should say "I will if I can make a free drink for myself as well"
Probably would’ve been better going from 11-7 so you get a lunch rush and a dinner rush
James Lee
True but Americans have 9-5 jobs and it would be logical to go with the flow.
Johnny P how does breakfast do for you?
the real strat is to do DoorDash, Postmates, and UberEATS at the same time
All three of them make money.
Driving a Jeep. Already losing.
Hey man. If you put a go pro on your dash and did a time lapse of your driving from Pick-up to Delivery. It would be strangely satisfying 😁😁😁
84$ for 8 hour bullshit this job is ok only like part time on Friday Saturdays and sundays from 6pm to 9pm done deal
There is a button that if they are not answering or anything you can leave with their order and you will still get paid.. the only difference is that now you have free food
That was so awkward filming the customer....
You've probably already seen a million other responses to this, but the tip comes from the customer, and you get 100% of it.
What if you run DoorDash, UberEats and Postmates all at once? Could you maximize your time a lot better?
KINGJADEX 100% in Canada guys are doing all of them plus skip the dishes and whatever else. Maximize the income streams.
@@bilalsher Nice. I think that'd be the way to do it. I'd like to see an income breakdown for that.
It's really the only way to make decent money.
Possibly but Idk if I'd recommend running all apps at once because say you get a postmate and your accepting it mean while ignoring the other apps your acceptance rate will hurt and dd requires you to be at a specific rate other wise they will deactivate you 😔
MF' Cherry That’s exactly the problem with using multiple platforms at once. I’m signed up for Uber, DoorDash and Postmates. I’ve logged into two at a time and it never fails. No deliveries for both and then they both pop off at the same time. It screws up your acceptance rate and you get less deliveries. You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I prefer Uber, even though I get less tips. The platform is much easier to navigate than the others. The ease of payouts and having the food ready and not needing to order and pay is a huge bonus. You need to make it work for you. Only deliver during the busy times. Lunch & dinner.
You make awesome videos. I really enjoy the commentary and the POV edits
$84.93 for eight hours??? That's sad.
I've worked for postmates for a week. I get a ring every 20 mins. Sweet spots: 10 am to 4 pm. 630pm to 10 pm. I've only spent 35 mins at most from start to finish on one trip. Start when you want, end when you want. Not bad. Most I've made in 3 hours is about $60 dollars. And its always the 3 hour sweet spots.
You getting some Jewish CEO Rich from doordash he doesn't care what you say
Michael Gabdlfo what do you do for a living?
What? Makes no sense other then sounding a bit racist?
craft.co/doordash/executives
Actually, he is making a rich Chinese guy richer by the minute.
@1:46 Not sure if anyone in the comments mentioned this but customer gives the tip. They have the option to include the tip in their order.
At 7:44 I thought you left your phone on the counter and my ❤ shuddered a little for you
Scott Smith wrong time yo. Edit dat shit
@@johnnyseahorse3588 you right.....my bad. Edited
As a door dash user, I can say that it automatically defaults a tip into your order and you can adjust it to go higher or lower, but I don’t think you can opt out of it completely. I think it’s mandatory. I could be wrong. I always tip, so I’m not sure.
Here a tip don’t film people getting there food it makes them uncomfortable you know did you see her reaction on her face she did not like that
Jas D oh look a millennial getting offended
Jas D - yes yes yes. If a delivery person was filming me while giving me my food and told me I was going to be on You Tube, I would say NO and give them a VERY VERY low rating. Sorry to be a "tight wod" but...I'm just saying...
I started doing DD 2/3/19 made $16.16 working 509pm to 644pm. 2/4 through 2/6 I have worked about 11.5 hours and already made $139.65 plus $10 cash tip and have scheduled myself for 2/7 and 2/8 long shifts as those are my days off at my ft job. I'm actually liking it and making decent side money doing it even if all I grab is a couple of hours at a time. Dash now is great when they are offering the extra per order when busy.
I like your personality
I agree! This guy has such a pleasant attitude and seems very polite. I subscribed after viewing 2 videos, not because I'm in this line of work, but because he's so nice, speaks well and is pretty forthcoming when sharing his earnings.
Who cares, ego maniac
North Carolina, especially in Charlotte and Gastonia, are very difficult places to work at with doordash. I work from Monday to Friday, 9 hours a day, and as a mother of two autistic kids, it really is hard for me to raise money with the low amount that this app pays me. And unfortunately, most of the places I go to, are just full of inconsiderate people who only give 1-2 dollar tips. 65% of the day, I am not even tipped. I already have to replace my car's tires, because they are burned out after so much driving I did :/
*To be honest i would never order food from Uber eats or something similar. Maybe the delivery guy can do something to my food. Who knows crazy people out there.*
AGoodBadBoy the restaurant could do something to your food too though 🤷🏾♀️
C. Allison Loftin true that!
I would never touch someone's food. Gross.
AGoodBadBoy That is true!
NO MORE THAN PIZZA DELIVERY DRIVERS COULD FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS
DD DRIVERS ARE FULLY VETTED
i never doordash until after 5 pm because thats the only time its worth it, during the extra peak pay hours. dinner time is usually more than breakfast and lunch.
i live in seattle and can usually make between $20 and $40 an hour when i do it during dinner time.
I Dont have my Red Card But they sent me a text that I can go Dashing.
I Hope I dont have problems.
I am going to start tomro.
How did it go?
@@wmluna381 I really like it.
You really make the most money on the prom days
You're absolutely right, the restaurants need to be required to push a ready button or something before you guys have to show up. If anything, I would call doordash if I was in your shoes and had to wait for an order so they can start the clock.
*$84.93!*
I'm a software engineer by trade, and make a pretty good living. But, I actually just signed up for Doordash, just to try it out as a hobby (maybe just on Saturdays or some evenings). I'm planning on blowing all the money I'll make on frivolous stuff like makeup and video games and junk food. Maybe I'll even give some to a charity or the homeless. I'm actually really excited. I used to work as a pizza delivery driver in my college years, and had lots of fun doing that :)
