4:29 you don't know if it's dead slow until you keep declining. I take EVERYTHING as long as it's under 5 miles. I keep busy, im moving, while everyone else is sitting at their phones looking for that "PERFECT" order to pop up. This also keeps my rating higher si that when they give me a ridicules $15 to shop 20 items and travel 11 miles, im like no way!
Since gas is $5 a gallon I’ve been really focused on a small area with close apartment buildings and taking orders as low as $5 but I can do 3 to 4 deliveries in a hour sometimes and with fewer miles. It’s been working until it get slow. Either way I’ve been keeping my miles low.
Same here. When I got top Dasher this moth they asked what they could do to make it better for top Dashers and I said give us the privilege of a tighter radius of the hot spots.
You’re awesome! The one thing people don’t realize is the order’s take up your time. Time is money, especially on stacked order’s. On average you can do 1 1/2 order’s per hour. So make you choices wisely.
Where I am from, most restaurants are packing the drinks and food inside the same bag which is sealed. There is no way to check. In my mind, food packing is 100% on the restaurant and the delivery of said food is on me.
When nobody takes the order they up the base pay. It was probably 3.00 for 7 miles and they had to up it. There’s always a rookie who’ll eventually pick it up
Just started Shipt today and told my friend about Amazon flex thanks to your channel. So far Shipt in this area isn't worth it. Haven't accepted a single order because they're all under $11 for half an hour or over away. But happy I started something. Getting used to one at a time.... Getting the ball rolling.... Update: I took an order that was less than 2 miles away to shop. 11 minutes to the person's house from location of shopping. It took me 40 minutes to shop because an item was out of stock but I got $25 for about 73 minutes total. Ran into another shopper who gave me some tips.
I take a lot more orders now than i used to now that the rewards program has started in my market. I refuse to go below 70% and lose access to catering orders.
I wouldn't take the $9 stacked order. I expect to average, at least over a full month of deliveries, a $/M payout ratio of at least 2:1. For example, in YTD 2023 I've completed nearly 3,200 deliveries. My YTD average payout ratio is 2.07:1. I agree with you that the $9 order may be acceptable *if* it's going to reposition you back where you want to be.
I dash from 5 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. (I'm an "early bird"). I work my own hotspots. From 5 a.m. to 6 a.m., virtually all of my orders are either from McDonald's or Starbucks. I turned on the app at 5 a.m. today. DD reflected the hotspots as 1. Albertsons (supermarket), which doesn't open until 7 a.m.; 2. Market on Front Street, which also doesn't open until 7 a.m.; and 3. Taco Bell (on N. Reserve St.), which has been closed for reconstruction for three months. I also try to minimize the number of dead miles driven to hotspots.
3:10 That 5.25 order was a $1 tip I think, at least. Considering the low amount of items the base pay would even out with the distance. Would never take it though 😂
In my area $5.25 is definitely about a $3.00 tip; however, I would need more if that 7 miles takes me far from where the restaurants are, and in my area, it most likely would.
If I order DD or UE... *Which I never do !!!!* for $5 or $6 AND I am Up charged $3-4 as delivery fee....I would only be willing to put out $10 total. I have never needed food bad enough to pay delivery fee + tip darn near equal to my purchase. The ONLY time I am WILLING to pay thoes type of fees is when I order 4 cases (40 bottles each) of water & a case of T paper & P towels every 3 months ....cuz I live in a 2nd floor apt.🙄
Never ask if there's more. You gotta say this is what im missing, and they'll grab it right away. Even when I'm told yeah there's a straw, I check the bag anyway.
Decline the $9.00. You don't take a stacked order for any less than $20.00 for 4 items. And no, you don't accept the $11.00 order either. That's too many stops for too little money.
It depends I will take the $11.00 if the restaurants are close to each other and I mean next door to each other I live next to a power strip and get some of these plus they’re surrounded by lots of apartment communities so it’s really close sometimes to the same place I knock these ones fast and I’m ready for the next one it depends on the area but for more rural or suburban areas maybe it’s not good time wise
I'm not saying you're wrong I'm just saying if I was to wait around for orders that good I wouldn't get an order all night My car gets great gas mileage and my fencing company just went under so I'm just trying to make rent money if I have to put a hundred miles on my car to make $150 I'll do it I just don't understand if it's the algorithm or what it seems like after I drop my AR I'm not getting anything
I won't be bullied into taking every $2 order and driving out all my gas for no return and supposedly getting better orders with higher acceptance rates that's a load of crap and not worth my time. I will just drive for their competitors and make better money.
I also consider the likely speed of the retaurant, the final destination and delivery location and I'll take a $5 if its all good. If its in the middle of dinner time then maybe not. Also depends if I'm at 50% or 75% and need the ratings improvements.
Dude, I'm new and I got destroyed on my first week (this past week) accepted some bad offers because of my small market [SouthWest Florida] and not screening the orders long enough to see that it was a stacked order which took me way out of my zones and basically ended up costing me more on gas. So it is a learning process. First day on Uber made great money and then it was down hill from there.
I wish that on the Uber Eats app, it would give the end destination so you would have an idea of how many miles you going to have to travel before you accept an offer.
My best restaurant is chick-fil-a. In KC market. The issue is it’s near the KS/MO border and the orders are all outside zone. Sucks cause there’s no store on the MO side so they get tons of orders but all to out of zone. Rarely stacked orders. Hurts my acceptance %
Drinks: Many of the places I deliver from have the orders pre-packed, sealed and ready to go....including the drink. I delivered from a BBQ joint the other night, and even though I was assured at the restaurant it was in there, and the bag was sealed, it was not when I delivered it. Any tips/tricks for places that put the drinks IN the sealed bags? Or do I just have to take my chances? I've seriously thought about shaking the bag and listening for ice rattling, but then I'm afraid it will spill LOL. McDonalds here is really bad (or good?) about packing the drink in the heavy to-go bags with the hot food.
The second order for $4.50 I'd take in certain circumstances. For one, Im in a small town thats unusually busy with DD, and low traffic. Also if its Hell Week (last week of the month), my standards go way down for orders.
you cant confirm anything. bags come sealed. The restaraunts make me hit confirm before handing me the bags but I cant confirm anything. Many times the bags have drinks inside.
I've been declining the ones under $5 above $5 I've honestly been taking them and I've been trying to get a $1.50 per mile I've had to decline so many I've went from a 96 to a 58 and one night and now it's hard to get shifts I can't dash now is it better to decline in cherry pick or to take them so I get more shifts
So confused by the advice to have a new driver decline an offer. If you're in your first two or three orders ever, that will drop your acceptance rate below 70% and you then get penalized on how many high paying offers you get.
Anything .50 is almost always a non tipper. $8.50 even. I think it is an algorythm that temps dashers by incrementing each new potential offer taker another .50 cents more to do it.
Not positive how it works though. Think maybe they do the $2.75 thing then bump it a .25 cents as dashers decline it. Then start doing .50 increments something like that. But i see it all the time almost everyday .50 no matter how many up till you hit $10 is no tip.
You have to take into consideration the time it takes you to delivery if you really know your area and you can knock an $11 dollars orders fast enough to take at least two more in an hour you could make more than $20 and hour easy I’ve done this and I always do because I really know my area and I stay close or end in other busy spots but if your drives are long with no restaurants an the end of the delivery maybe is not a good idea to take it
Just found your channel and looking for a side hustle to make a few hundred dollars per month. Signed up for Door Dash, Walmart Spark, and Amazon Flex but haven't done any yet. I drive a Maverick Hybrid that gets 40+ mpg. Which one do you suggest? I have a full time job. Doing the Dave Ramsey thing and trying to pay stuff off. Thanks!
5:42 I enjoy watching your videos ! You’re right ! Always check the order for yourself because it is your tip you’re effecting by forgetting to check yourself.
Well the dasher app now says if I don't have a specific acceptance rate they won't prefer me for higher paid orders. Should I still not care about my acceptance rate? Same thing with Uber eats.
Mike's a nice guy and all he tries hard with his channel but that $9 stacked order is an automatic 110% decline order for anyone who is solid and making 25+ hr delivering. That's in any market and any time. Just shows you that just because a dude's making vids and driving forever it still doesn't mean he's gotta be sharp. You're coming out so far behind in the long-term and you'll be sitting there wondering why you're only making 15-20 per hour taking orders like that. 2 diff pickups, 2 diff dropoffs....Don't accept anything less than $14 for those and be very strict on the 2-1 ratio in that spot. Also, don't forget to factor in and rely on the estimated times the app is giving you for those as well.
This just makes me glad i have never done door trash deliveries. Don't get me wrong uber cheats aint any better but it's a hell of alot better than door trash.
The problem I have with dinner shift is the restaurants are crowded and take a long time. Other times, especially weekdays, I notice that fast food and chipotle type restaurants are on the ball and the order is ready when I get there. That makes a difference whether I can get 3 to 4 deliveries done in an hour.
I actually would have taken that 1st stacked order for $9 if it was in my market. Mainly because the time was 2:12pm. There's a pretty big slow down on the orders from 2-4pm here. So to get one last decent order (not exceptional by any means) at the end of the lunch rush before slowing down would be solid. Odds are the next order probably was either going to be worse, or be a 20 minute wait. I'm glad she got an improved order next, the gamble paid off.
that first subway order definitely had a tip on it. 1 item and base pay is usually $2.25 for non tipping orders in my area. I know it can vary but $5.25 base pay for a 1 item order would be crazy. If I had to guess theres a $3 tip on there.
Mike, youre awesome dude. Your videos helped me go from avg $60/day in 5 hours to $100/day in 5 hrs or less and I only use Uber/Uber Eats. The tips youve given make sense and arent complicated. Thank you!
Mike I love your channel..I just started as an Uber Eats driver and I also do Instacart as both side hustles.i like them both but I had to get used to the satisfaction rate..I’m there but it’s nerve racking worried about some things you have no control over..keep up the awesome content..
Good lord its like you absolutely HATE to hear a conbustion engine running. God forbid you burn any gas to do a delivery. Lemme guess, you sit and idle for 2 hours for 10 bucks. TELL ME IM WRONG. That's ok, me and my Flat-6 will fill in the gaps in a TIMELY MANNER. 😂 I understand, not all of us drive a car we actually wanna drive. Seems most dashers drive vehicles they hate, but don't hate enough to drive INTO THE GROUND.
Personally I think $20/hr for the pay per order is realistic. In my area i can get just about any job at $13-15/hr but to be able to schedule when im available and not work someone else's schedule is better for me. I automatically put aside 30% of each weeks earnings so i don't have any issues with owing taxes later and possibly being surprised with a large tax bill.
I had a place that didn't have the drink prepared. They just handed me an empty cup. I filled it myself. Is this ok? Have to imagine there may a law or some regulation not allowing us to prepare food, 😅 ???
I've been considering switching to the busier downtown zone. Is it worth it to dash in a downtown area in a car where there's limited places to park close to the dropoff point?
For $5.25? Yeah, it's a no-tipper, I would decline it. A 7 miles delivery for one item is a minimum $15.00 a mile. Never do Taco Bell, period. It's not worth the wait. The minimum order you should ever except period is $7.00 for small orders with two miles. They take forever.
On that subway order…me doing EBT a bunch, those are the orders I have the pleasure to clean up, in order to keep my acceptance rating over 50% for priority offers for those weekend EBO sessions….that might have either $1 or $2 tip on it Typically, I can turn those low pay offers into easy $7 or $8 using earn by time, dollars to miles can be bogus though….having a hybrid helps
In the evenings near me, I park at Gringos. It's a tex-mex restaurant with pricier orders, they are fast, and when I get the order I just text a number and they bring it right out to me. Rinse and repeat. During the busy hours, I'll squeeze in $28-30 per hour.
Always great to see your videos. Great work on covering this. I use multiple apps at one time. The one that gives me the best offer,I tend to take it. I also base it off time and location and where the particular trip will take me.

Hell yeah !!
I’ve been focusing a lot more on positioning than I use to. I also learned the cell phone dead zones and try to avoid those deliveries.
All good stuff! Thanks for watching

Mike, I’m loving the new content where you’re reacting to other drivers’ shifts. Keep it up!! 💯
Appreciate you! Thank you, all about variety - we have trainings/info based videos, ridealongs, interviews, our First Shift reaction series and more!
Made $550 my first holiday weekend. Used some of your advice for sure.
The DoorDash app has a pop up that reminds us that a drink is included plus most combos at Taco Bell (if it was a combo) will have a drink.
Since gas is $5 a gallon I’ve been really focused on a small area with close apartment buildings and taking orders as low as $5 but I can do 3 to 4 deliveries in a hour sometimes and with fewer miles. It’s been working until it get slow. Either way I’ve been keeping my miles low.

Promise, you did an excellent job. And Mike? What a nice gesture, letting her know not to be discouraged. Good job everyone. : )
In checking out her channel she's getting a lot of experience across different platforms. I'm here for it!
Mike, thank you for all you do for the new folks (like me). And the seasoned veterans. : )
You’re awesome! The one thing people don’t realize is the order’s take up your time. Time is money, especially on stacked order’s. On average you can do 1 1/2 order’s per hour. So make you choices wisely.
But after I wait 2 and a half hours fir the next order, I think I'm doing an 8th of an order per hour
Where I am from, most restaurants are packing the drinks and food inside the same bag which is sealed. There is no way to check. In my mind, food packing is 100% on the restaurant and the delivery of said food is on me.
I think that first order was probably a $3.00 tip order. DD's pay has been atrocious lately. I believe the DoorDash pay was probably .$2.25.
It was at least a $2 tip.
When nobody takes the order they up the base pay. It was probably 3.00 for 7 miles and they had to up it. There’s always a rookie who’ll eventually pick it up

I take a lot more orders now than i used to now that the rewards program has started in my market. I refuse to go below 70% and lose access to catering orders.
For my area 5.25 includes the the tip the base pay around here is $2 at minimum and $3 at maximum
$2 is the lowest possible base pay $2-$10 per DD that’s a pain. Any bonus pay ever?
I wouldn't take the $9 stacked order. I expect to average, at least over a full month of deliveries, a $/M payout ratio of at least 2:1.
For example, in YTD 2023 I've completed nearly 3,200 deliveries. My YTD average payout ratio is 2.07:1.
I agree with you that the $9 order may be acceptable *if* it's going to reposition you back where you want to be.

I also try to minimize the number of dead miles driven to hotspots.
Very smart 👍
The Subway order only 1 item, 7 miles, $5.25, I decline it right away.
3:10 That 5.25 order was a $1 tip I think, at least. Considering the low amount of items the base pay would even out with the distance. Would never take it though 😂
In my area $5.25 is definitely about a $3.00 tip; however, I would need more if that 7 miles takes me far from where the restaurants are, and in my area, it most likely would.
My experience is base pay $2.75 the rest is tip. So $5.25 has a $2.50 tip. I would pass since the miles are higher than the pay.
Nice about reminding to check the order, I was careful to do that and make sure to grab a straw and utensils too on my second dash!
If I order DD or UE... *Which I never do !!!!* for $5 or $6 AND I am Up charged $3-4 as delivery fee....I would only be willing to put out $10 total.
I have never needed food bad enough to pay delivery fee + tip darn near equal to my purchase. The ONLY time I am WILLING to pay thoes type of fees is when I order 4 cases (40 bottles each) of water & a case of T paper & P towels every 3 months ....cuz I live in a 2nd floor apt.🙄

Decline the $9.00. You don't take a stacked order for any less than $20.00 for 4 items. And no, you don't accept the $11.00 order either. That's too many stops for too little money.
I approve of this message 😂
Doordash be monopolizing too much time with Stacks.
It depends I will take the $11.00 if the restaurants are close to each other and I mean next door to each other I live next to a power strip and get some of these plus they’re surrounded by lots of apartment communities so it’s really close sometimes to the same place I knock these ones fast and I’m ready for the next one it depends on the area but for more rural or suburban areas maybe it’s not good time wise
I'm not saying you're wrong I'm just saying if I was to wait around for orders that good I wouldn't get an order all night My car gets great gas mileage and my fencing company just went under so I'm just trying to make rent money if I have to put a hundred miles on my car to make $150 I'll do it I just don't understand if it's the algorithm or what it seems like after I drop my AR I'm not getting anything
I won't be bullied into taking every $2 order and driving out all my gas for no return and supposedly getting better orders with higher acceptance rates that's a load of crap and not worth my time. I will just drive for their competitors and make better money.
I only do one " charity " delivery a day. Hopefully to a young kid or elderly person/disabled person.
I also consider the likely speed of the retaurant, the final destination and delivery location and I'll take a $5 if its all good. If its in the middle of dinner time then maybe not. Also depends if I'm at 50% or 75% and need the ratings improvements.
You get multiple reminders to remember the drink
Dude, I'm new and I got destroyed on my first week (this past week) accepted some bad offers because of my small market [SouthWest Florida] and not screening the orders long enough to see that it was a stacked order which took me way out of my zones and basically ended up costing me more on gas. So it is a learning process. First day on Uber made great money and then it was down hill from there.
I wish that on the Uber Eats app, it would give the end destination so you would have an idea of how many miles you going to have to travel before you accept an offer.
4.50 $
2.6 miles
Pain. So much pain.
i don't do these gig apps ..i jus like ur energy in ur videos 🎉
My best restaurant is chick-fil-a. In KC market. The issue is it’s near the KS/MO border and the orders are all outside zone. Sucks cause there’s no store on the MO side so they get tons of orders but all to out of zone. Rarely stacked orders. Hurts my acceptance %
6:12 I mean, door dash tells you to double check that the drinks are there.
Drinks: Many of the places I deliver from have the orders pre-packed, sealed and ready to go....including the drink. I delivered from a BBQ joint the other night, and even though I was assured at the restaurant it was in there, and the bag was sealed, it was not when I delivered it.

I've seriously thought about shaking the bag and listening for ice rattling, but then I'm afraid it will spill LOL. McDonalds here is really bad (or good?) about packing the drink in the heavy to-go bags with the hot food.
Nobody:
Promise: “Hehe big red accept button go boop”
That’s happened to me too when I asked about the drink and the restaurant says no drink and the app says no drink. Customer says drink.
I wish i could make double my mileage rate. Since mutli-apping, I make maybe 1.3x the milage rate.
Boom @8:11 the $11 banger hits!
The second order for $4.50 I'd take in certain circumstances. For one, Im in a small town thats unusually busy with DD, and low traffic. Also if its Hell Week (last week of the month), my standards go way down for orders.
If I decline twice in the row, my AR drops. So how do I manage?
you cant confirm anything. bags come sealed. The restaraunts make me hit confirm before handing me the bags but I cant confirm anything. Many times the bags have drinks inside.
Got deactivated yesterday and reactivated today
I've been declining the ones under $5 above $5 I've honestly been taking them and I've been trying to get a $1.50 per mile I've had to decline so many I've went from a 96 to a 58 and one night and now it's hard to get shifts I can't dash now is it better to decline in cherry pick or to take them so I get more shifts
I want to use Doordash but this waitlist is taking forever.
I am going to do a gig work video. I would love to hear your comments
So confused by the advice to have a new driver decline an offer. If you're in your first two or three orders ever, that will drop your acceptance rate below 70% and you then get penalized on how many high paying offers you get.
I have to ask....when you say $25 an hour, are you talking active time or total dash time?
Is she doing it in a mustang?
You can bust out 4 McDonald’s at 6 plus in an hour. All day for me. You can have wait times at steak houses 😅
I'll wait longer at a fast food place than like a pricier place like outback, McDonald's and popeyes are the worst
Anything .50 is almost always a non tipper. $8.50 even. I think it is an algorythm that temps dashers by incrementing each new potential offer taker another .50 cents more to do it.
Not positive how it works though. Think maybe they do the $2.75 thing then bump it a .25 cents as dashers decline it. Then start doing .50 increments something like that. But i see it all the time almost everyday .50 no matter how many up till you hit $10 is no tip.
I just looked pass weeks and i think that might be wrong how it works but every non tip seems to be a .50
Dude I've given up on the whole milage crap I'll decline only one an hour and I find that I do better taking all orders for the more part
Is Earn By Time working better for you?
You have to take into consideration the time it takes you to delivery if you really know your area and you can knock an $11 dollars orders fast enough to take at least two more in an hour you could make more than $20 and hour easy I’ve done this and I always do because I really know my area and I stay close or end in other busy spots but if your drives are long with no restaurants an the end of the delivery maybe is not a good idea to take it
How should you base your dollars to miles ratio if you have the Cali Prop 22 to consider at the end of the week ?
Just found your channel and looking for a side hustle to make a few hundred dollars per month. Signed up for Door Dash, Walmart Spark, and Amazon Flex but haven't done any yet. I drive a Maverick Hybrid that gets 40+ mpg. Which one do you suggest? I have a full time job. Doing the Dave Ramsey thing and trying to pay stuff off. Thanks!
I do those $4.50 orders if its slow.
Im in a collage area so all my orders for fast food are like 1 mile or less so those add up fast if i keep getting them back to back
I try to get $12 minimum on stacked orders
My car doesn't move for less than $7
UberEats is easier to do it now than previous years but much less money, no longer worth doing it!
5:42 I enjoy watching your videos ! You’re right ! Always check the order for yourself because it is your tip you’re effecting by forgetting to check yourself.
3:04 too many miles
Never do deliveries below $5
Was she hourly or per order?
Well the dasher app now says if I don't have a specific acceptance rate they won't prefer me for higher paid orders. Should I still not care about my acceptance rate? Same thing with Uber eats.
No, unless you like delivering for free.
@@jbeats1930 sorry I didn't understand your answer
Mike's a nice guy and all he tries hard with his channel but that $9 stacked order is an automatic 110% decline order for anyone who is solid and making 25+ hr delivering. That's in any market and any time. Just shows you that just because a dude's making vids and driving forever it still doesn't mean he's gotta be sharp.
You're coming out so far behind in the long-term and you'll be sitting there wondering why you're only making 15-20 per hour taking orders like that.
2 diff pickups, 2 diff dropoffs....Don't accept anything less than $14 for those and be very strict on the 2-1 ratio in that spot. Also, don't forget to factor in and rely on the estimated times the app is giving you for those as well.
Her car sounds like it eats/gobbles alot of gas...sorry i noticed that but gas ⛽️ prices are so high right now....😂.
Noticed that too, louvers on the back? Mustang? Unfortunately yes taking a big hit on MPG
Customer: where my drink?
Dasher: I drank it because I was thirsty and ant afford to buy myself a drink cause yo cheapazz didn't leave me a tip!!
This just makes me glad i have never done door trash deliveries. Don't get me wrong uber cheats aint any better but it's a hell of alot better than door trash.
First Mike !! 😜😜❤❤
❤
Also im a streamer before i did this. We should chat same name All apps
Indygiglife. I'm new to the delivery side of food. I started a new channel and would like some of you tips and feed backs. Thanks
The problem I have with dinner shift is the restaurants are crowded and take a long time. Other times, especially weekdays, I notice that fast food and chipotle type restaurants are on the ball and the order is ready when I get there.

Good strategy, that's the deeper level things that make a difference and squeeze out more money per hour

that first subway order definitely had a tip on it. 1 item and base pay is usually $2.25 for non tipping orders in my area. I know it can vary but $5.25 base pay for a 1 item order would be crazy. If I had to guess theres a $3 tip on there.
Mike, youre awesome dude. Your videos helped me go from avg $60/day in 5 hours to $100/day in 5 hrs or less and I only use Uber/Uber Eats. The tips youve given make sense and arent complicated. Thank you!
Mike I love your channel..I just started as an Uber Eats driver and I also do Instacart as both side hustles.i like them both but I had to get used to the satisfaction rate..I’m there but it’s nerve racking worried about some things you have no control over..keep up the awesome content..
The $4.50 for 2.6 mile taco bell order is not great for the money, but if you need to get some deliveries to get your numbers up, it's fine.

4:55 “Where’s my drink? MY DIET DR KELP!!!”
I was literally just thinking that 😂😂 I was hoping someone would say this
Good lord its like you absolutely HATE to hear a conbustion engine running. God forbid you burn any gas to do a delivery. Lemme guess, you sit and idle for 2 hours for 10 bucks. TELL ME IM WRONG. That's ok, me and my Flat-6 will fill in the gaps in a TIMELY MANNER. 😂 I understand, not all of us drive a car we actually wanna drive. Seems most dashers drive vehicles they hate, but don't hate enough to drive INTO THE GROUND.
Personally I think $20/hr for the pay per order is realistic. In my area i can get just about any job at $13-15/hr but to be able to schedule when im available and not work someone else's schedule is better for me. I automatically put aside 30% of each weeks earnings so i don't have any issues with owing taxes later and possibly being surprised with a large tax bill.
I had a place that didn't have the drink prepared. They just handed me an empty cup. I filled it myself. Is this ok? Have to imagine there may a law or some regulation not allowing us to prepare food, 😅 ???
Please 🤦🏻♂️ the hell with door Dash those blood 🩸 suckers I don’t wanna here about them anymore
The four dollar one, would get another order after delivering right away.
My market tells me when I hit arrived. Or whatever that there is a drink or there is a dessert
Yeah I don’t do anything under $7 neither.
I've been considering switching to the busier downtown zone. Is it worth it to dash in a downtown area in a car where there's limited places to park close to the dropoff point?
Good question
7:08 total might be higher, take it!
It is not a no tip order.
Base pay is down to $2 in my area so the 5.25 could legit be a 3.25 tip, but it’s just not worth my time to park and get out and deliver.
The bad orders aren't so bad when I'm on my motorcycle getting 50mpg, that is when its not getting rented out on riders-share
The town I live in is only doordash. Uber and Grubhub don’t work. That’s why I drive to a busier town where they do.
For $5.25? Yeah, it's a no-tipper, I would decline it. A 7 miles delivery for one item is a minimum $15.00 a mile. Never do Taco Bell, period. It's not worth the wait. The minimum order you should ever except period is $7.00 for small orders with two miles. They take forever.
On that subway order…me doing EBT a bunch, those are the orders I have the pleasure to clean up, in order to keep my acceptance rating over 50% for priority offers for those weekend EBO sessions….that might have either $1 or $2 tip on it
Typically, I can turn those low pay offers into easy $7 or $8 using earn by time, dollars to miles can be bogus though….having a hybrid helps
In the evenings near me, I park at Gringos. It's a tex-mex restaurant with pricier orders, they are fast, and when I get the order I just text a number and they bring it right out to me. Rinse and repeat. During the busy hours, I'll squeeze in $28-30 per hour.
@7:08 before your countdown expires! I'm taking it!
Always great to see your videos. Great work on covering this. I use multiple apps at one time. The one that gives me the best offer,I tend to take it. I also base it off time and location and where the particular trip will take me.
Schlitterbahn!!
Lazy river unrivaled lol
