What I've Learned About DoorDash Acceptance Rate
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- My quest for a DoorDash 70% acceptance rate continues with my sights set on the Diamond Program and Top Dasher if I can withstand all the bad orders DoorDash throws my way. Hopefully the earnings are worth it once I get there.

Long story short AR doesn’t matter everyone should be at 50% or lower because if ppl aren’t tipping then they shouldn’t be eating on your dime
I'm gonna keep testing to see if anything changes
@@PhoenixDeliveries I see it’s a method to your madness.
Got mine to 71% and the next order was $4 for TWENTY MILES! followed by $2.50 and $3.5.
Same and when I got to the store which was majority of those miles. IT WAS CLOSED!!! And they only give me half pay. BS.
I agree that doesn't sound like any priority orders to me same thing happens to me sometimes three or four in a row
Thinking is stressful. How about not being able to pay your bills because most of the money you made went back into your gas tank because you wasted time and gas taking no and low tip orders.
Thats stressful
Having to lose money to raise your AR is a joke. It is a JOKE. DD is going to end up getting sued for pulling trash like this.
Your right about that I get tired of their🐂💩
Truthfully. I’ve been a top dasher the past couple of months and man has it increased my income a few hundred dollars a week instead of cherry picking.
If anything you just have to pay your dues.
@@Mr_tndoThat's the same way I'm trying to look at it.
Don't complain. Just leave the platform. McDonald's is paying like $17/hr
True. And people that think just accept it. BS. How about we get about all minimum wage laws and every other protection civilized people have. And they think if we don't like it then go to another country. BS again. This is my world I can't fight for any cause I belive in. Not a donkey and don't lay down for donkey stupidity.
Every offer they send out should be worth taking. If they aren't it means they are priced incorrectly.
Nah, you are just in a great market. Unless you mean $3 to go 15 miles is worth taking? because that kind of stuff is 80% of what I see on Door Trash.
@@michaelbell75 they are saying that doordash needs to pay better, we shouldn’t ever be seeing $3 15mile orders at all
@@michaelbell75ur everywhere
thats not door dashes fault the customer doesnt want to tip for their food. doordash isnt providing a service. they are the middle man bridging a connection between a restaurant and someone who wants food. the drivers should be compensated for their time and effort but unfortunately alot of people that use doordash think 'its our job so just do it' failing to realize mcdonalds doesnt deliver, burger king doesnt deliver, subway...doesnt deliver. you are PAYING for this LUXURY you are NOT entitled to. customers need to understand this when ordering delivery. but youll get places like dominoes that charge 4.15 for a delivery fee in my area that isnt even going to the driver. i stopped ordering from dominoes because of that exact thing. i live 2 blocks from the nearest one. normally tipped 5$ when they came. now IF i want it ill go get it but i almost exclusively avoid them anymore. either way if door dash started charging for deliveries. drivers wont see it. promise you that. @@luisc264
Is it better to chose hourly rate while accepting everything at least your guaranteed pay plus tips and your acceptance go up also?
The most important thing to understand with any of these apps is that these companies (and some customers) would pay you zero dollars, if they knew they could get away with it. You need to value your time, and take the good orders that make sense for you. I would never take crappy orders - I'd rather sit in my car and enjoy listening to podcasts. It's better to try and figure out why you're not getting good orders, and then adjust something - the time of day you're working, your location, what restaurants you're waiting next to.
ANY company would pay zero dollars if they could, give me a break
So you mean…they aren’t designing the app thinking “how can we make the drivers more money”? MIND BLOWN
I think Corporate America notoriously pays their workers low salaries, they only because they legally have to pay ppl something. And all DoorDash drivers would love to not have to take crappy orders, but those who do exactly what you say generally have an acceptance rate of below 50%. They design it that way for a reason. They know NO driver would ever accept low or no tip orders. That’s why they push this acceptance rate crap force ppl into slave wages( some times zero wages)
This lasted about two months before this guy gave up on being a top dasher. What a foolish idea that a top dasher makes more money. His latest video is titled why im no longer a top dasher.
Diamond program is such a fake. I’m at 19% AR. This weekend I had $44 payout for 12 miles (2 items at liquor store) 3 orders above $15 for under $5. Lots of $10-12 orders. I had my AR reset over the wonder - orders were not better. I make $30-35/hour cherry picking and under $20/hour trying to maintain AR
i find it much more stressful to maintain a high AR on DD. I just find myself dreading when the phone goes off to see what kind of $6 for 11.2 miles horseshit im gonna get.
Lmao ah hell na ye fuck that
I feel that man. But once you're on platinum it pays off.
I have been stuck at 45% acceptance rate for months, everytime I boost it up they flood me with no tip orders 😡 I just can't take a loss for anyone
Not everyone is willing to deliver those no tip orders and I'd can't tell someone they should
That’s exactly what happened to me. I was at 80% and started getting nothing but horrible orders.
If every dasher only accepted orders that are greater than or equal to $2.00 a mile, their acceptance rates would drop. In protest to door dash all of them should do this.
I do that and still manage to stay around 70% but I only dash thursday-sunday 4:30pm to 8pm Dinner rush, so many cherry pickers jump on going "oooo boy its busy" but that high AR means 80% of the time its pretty good orders going my way while all the stuff I dont want doesnt even show up on my screen, its thrown at the cherry pickers to play hot potato with.
I think of the diamond program as diamond lipstick or cubic zirconium. Or a retail store that prices a $100 item by writing $250, crossing it out, and maybe writing $96 underneath.
lol the stores that price their items like that are ridiculous. Just because the mileage is low, DoorDash think they can say it's high paying
It's Doordash trying to give us polished turds.
@@PhoenixDeliveries I don't even think the algorithim knows how to identify high paying orders. I've seen $17.50 for 10 miles that wasn't labeled as high paying. The dollar per mile ratio isn't as high but the dollar per hour is much higher.
From my experience in my area: I accepted every order on a 12-hour shift that came in on Door Dash and made about $200. That is rather good for the area I live/work in. Of the 30 orders that came in, 19 of them were part of the "High Pay Order"/Diamond Program with my acceptance rating at 90%+. That means 11 of them were not part of the program, but only 3 of those 11 were "No Tip" and only had the Base Pay. So with that information, I'd say 10% of my orders are "No Tip", but about 65% of my orders were at least the "$2/mile" program.
I'm not sure how people like u don't realize u are killing the market by delivering to no tip customers. It's only causing more people not to tip
I feel like the AI controls everything, I only work after 5pm and get about the same weekly income. The only thing that changes is which day earns more and which day earns less.
That's a good test you ran. I might need to start looking at the orders like that so I can analyze the data more
I have a 4.98, 100AR, 100CR over 1300 orders and i consecutively get $2, $3 orders the AR don’t matter once you over 70 percent because I can barely crack $150 in a 10 hour span
I made $222 yesterday over 26 orders. My ar is around 25-30%. Due to it being a Sunday and always the best day, I got more than a couple of those $25 for 8 miles type things, I Just don't see the diamond graphics. I am always online with DD, GH, UE and IC and just take whatever is best at the moment. I refuse to play the psychological games and use more gas and tear my car up for the CHANCE at some high pay orders lol. I think I have the formula down, and I don't care about whatever stupid tier program they design
Stats are: 4.99/33%/98 CR/92 on time/2186 deliveries. I do this full time and support myself on it.
Dodging the no tip orders are key to staying top dasher. They are the ones that 1 star you. My rule right now is seriously think about everything under $5..$3.75 is usually a 1 dollar tip. $3.00 is usually a dollar tip. Anything under $2.75 no tip. Anything over $10 for sure tip usuallay $2.75 base everything else the customer.
I haven’t had that experience. Ppl most likely don’t tip for financial reasons
I think you're right about this also.
Not sure how to word this response but here we go.
I understand the no tips when I arrive at the delivery sometimes.
The obvious hard timers are not usually the ones who don't tip. Destroyed car in the drive way $1.00, Wheel chair ramp into the house, other times $1.00. One lady said put it as close to the door as possible and I did. I did a u turn down the street to go back to the hot zone. I saw her getting her food, she had 1 leg and no prostheses yet $5.00. She smiled at me as the fruit juice fell in the door.
I find the majority of people with hard times still consider what your doing and give you a $1.00 it's all good.
There is alot of angry people though who do not care about your side of the delivery effort. $0.00.
No they still lower your acceptance rate if you let orders time out
I think all this is market and location dependent, i dash in New York City. There’s no way I can spend time getting an acceptance rate up! Putting myself and car at a high risk, not for $4
Like the old saying goes: "Location, Location, Location."
I live in the middle of Missouri with the only cities of note being Kansas City, Columbia, St. Louis and Jefferson City.
40 restaurants and 6 grocery stores are in my area. Some of the stores that are in his videos are places I never heard of before.
Marketplace marketplace marketplace It all depends on the market in your area. I think it's difficult for some markets to keep their acceptance rate up when there's nothing but trash coming out of that market. I am in a really good market and people care about their service. Tips are pretty decent now there are those areas that I know to avoid because I know they're going to be no or low tips and they will give you bad ratings.
Tonight I made $17 in 2 hours. I went home after that from being so irritated. A bunch of orders, but no, or cheap tips.
Everybody needs to screenshot the ridiculous is rders,so when they get sued,theres proof,bc they'll try to vover it up
I'm on day 2 of dashing so I'm getting top dasher for another few days...Today I got a Dimond offer that was $9 and change for 15.8 miles. It's kinda rural where I'm at, as near as I can tell they just take highest paying orders what ever they are and slap a Dimond on them. On the first day took every order, but the 15.8 mile one today was the last straw. I started declining anything less than $2 a mile and as near as I tell they give you crap orders to test you cuz yesterday it was pure crap and that continued through today till I started declining them. Then every time I declined one the next would be decent....I'm never accepting an unprofitable order again. I'm doing this to make money, if declining orders means Doordash won't give me acceptable orders then to Hell with them I'll go do something else.
Top dasher mean you’ll have to take wat every cherry picker passed on
in my experience it's margin vs cash flow. accepting a lot of orders will give you higher cash flow but lower margin.
Yup. Make the sacrifice on the front end. Stay above 85. I’m at 90 and I lose a whole digit if I reject. It then takes me 5-7 trips to get that percentage back.
The majority of orders above 50% are no tip, where I am.
Consider that we all started at 100... If we were being offered good orders, we'd never have dropped below 70 or 50.
People should have to tip at least 15%. This is ridiculous.
It’s more stressful to deliver an order for what it costs in gas, than it is cherry picking imo.
I am in the very saturated Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX market. I turned down so many orders in June that in July I did not qualify for Top Dasher. Big deal, right? It only gives you the opportunity to Dash whenever you want. Well - not having that option I could only Dash when it was busy, or schedule when they predicted it was busy (mainly late nights and overnights). I would sit in parking lots just waiting for the areas to show busy then quickly hit the Dash Now button and go as long as it would let me. The result? Almost a 40% drop in my income. For nearly 2 weeks I took every order no matter how bad it was just to get my stats back up. I made it - but I hope that doesn't happen again to me. UGH!
The perk of Dash Anytime is a pretty big deal and now that I have it, I see why a lot of people like it
That must have been brutal to raise ir to 75%
I use earn by time during promos to raise my acceptance rate or to keep it at the 60-70% range. 50%+ is all you need to see higher paying orders.
You don’t need 50% to see the higher paying orders. They just slap a Diamond on it when your above 50% to make you think that you can only get those orders with high acceptance rate.. but you can make just as good of money under 50% so don’t waste your time if it’s not worth it. A $24 Diamond priority order isn’t really $24 if you had to accept a bunch of low pay high mileage orders to get it.
Doordash is just a gambling game but instead of putting coins into a machine you are using the wear and tear on your car and gasoline as a currency. Eventually that car is going to need $$$ repairs and at that point was the Diamond priority really worth it? Absolutely not.
Always Cherry Pick!!
@@Yup1.0 I think you're right.
@@Yup1.0100%!!!! I've long believed the app itself is engineered to exploit gaming instinct.
In my area (even in 2023) it's much more lucrative to wait around for them low mile GH unicorns that pop up a couple of times an hour than chase down 3-4 lowball DD scraps in the same time frame.
Is this in select areas? I don't get this in Denver.
PS the wierd amounts are percentage tips. For instance $4.88. The customer probably tipped $2.13 by percentage. It is a safe no 1 star to deliver.
I kinda cheated and enrolled in the AR reset but before that happened I was setting a policy for myself where I will only accept this amount of miles for this amount of money. For 1-3 miles I would do it for 4-6 and for 4-6 miles I would do it for 7-9 and so on and so forth yes I lost money but I did see a change in my orders and I went from making 30-40 dollars in 4 hours to 60 in a little over 3 hours if I’m dashing in Savannah and this was on a Tuesday night with no peak pay. That’s my experience so yours may vary but it did work out in the end for me
Proud Dasher with an 11%-ish AR!
Got a diamond order $24 for 2 miles for Aldi for 64 items I declined that mf quick that would take me 2 hours lol heck no. I’m not a fast shopper.
Those diamond order shop and pays are so strange sometimes
You definitely see more offers as Top Dasher but byproduct for me at least is if i dip into a low/no tip area i see them all as well, AR can end up tanking real quick, so for better or worse for those living in big multi-zone metro areas it teaches you pretty well where avoid if you don't want to take a beating.
Ya.. I live in the hood. I don't take orders from my hood.
I think it all depends on your market. In my market I feel like it’s slow a lot more so accepting a good order is hard to come by. So you have to give and take. The more you accept in my market the more money you will make.
Your not anything on 2.00 orders GTFOh
DD is a joke. I only dash now for extra money. But it's pathetic to get up at 6am and dash all to just sit around for a hr or more before any orders. Go from one side of town and the other with no orders. Glad I don't dash full time anymore. DD sucks!
The morning has always been the worst for me with DD sending me really far away
@@PhoenixDeliveries I would say doordash really changed about a year ago and they suck every since where I'm at. There's just no consistency.
If I'm sitting right next to a hot spot and someone else gets an order for that store , I log off and go home
How would you know if someone is getting an order before you?
@@Kaotik.VMy question exactly.
PS PS PS anything like .50 is them trying to find a dasher to take it. $4.50 no tip, $8.50 no tip.
I experienced something absurd. I dropped off a small box of chocolates to customer worth less than $7 from store that took 25 miles and then came back to same store and delivered two boxes of bottled water worth $2 to a nearby place without a tip. As work was coming to an end, the last offer was to deliver just Ben & Jerry's chocolate ice cream from a gas station for a $2 tip. I was wondering why people didn't order much food on Sunday, after that I realized my acceptance rating is 29%. Dashers have to do their best, but if the offer is ridiculous, it's a waste of gas money.
If you're dashing during peak times you will see better orders with a high AR but if it's not busy and there aren't any good orders out there then you also get priority for the bad orders. That's the drawback, they can't actually guarantee that you get better orders. Only that you have a chance to get better orders and if there aren't any you get priority to trash. It's really a huge insult to anyone that takes the excruciating time and effort to increase their AR to even be sent a trash order.
Seems like it's restrictive since you can only work the busy times expecting to make great money
@@PhoenixDeliveries it is, but it also works to ya benefit too. if you keep the AR up, then only work dinner rush, it pays off. I watch all these YT videos where these dashers are like wooooo I made 200 in 6 to 8 hours, and im baffled at how thats good..........I make that in 3 to 4 hours in a dinner rush with top dasher. why go out for 8 hours when ya can go out for 3 or 4.
I find that it is easier to raise your AR from 6% to 70% than it is to raise it from like 36% to 70%. For me, I get frustrated that an accept dont raise my AR if I accepted the order 100 orders ago. I've had several instances where I feel like it's better and faster to pretty much tank it to straight zero and then get it up.
Once I have it at 70% getting top dasher for scheduling priority and it seems to me those bad offers are usually the ones I declined the previous 100.
When I'm declining I'm not making money and if my AR gets too low I won't get good orders so I just kind of do what they expect us to and get rewarded now.
How long did it take to raise it? Does it reset every month?
I'm by no means being sarcastic by saying this - but definitely told you so. I got my acceptance over 50% before this latest incarnation of the program and it was just ridiculous the orders they considered 'high paying'. I truly felt like they were a slap in the face - a way of sugar coating crappy orders. I rarely do DD anymore, but if I do - it's back to cherry picking. Thank you for doing this experiment, though - I had always been curious what over 70% would truly be like.
It really is a major insult for them to do that to people that have went through hell to get their AR up. I've seen "high paying orders" that were $2.50 for 1.2 miles.
That's exactly what i call it. Hell. Why we getting punished so hard jeez
its always fascinated me watching people say 4 or 5 dollars for 2 miles isnt a good offer. but then again my zone is abunch of resturants on a few mile strip, and 2 blocks left or right of it is open rural roads with little to no traffic lights or stop signs so those 2 mile trips take less than 8 minutes. I take em all day long and average 22 an hour.
I saw a $2.50 order from Starbucks to Tempe Doordash HQ twice. They were about 25 minutes apart.
No way, that's insane. Even DoorDash employees don't tip
Like I'm not driving 13 Mi for $5 like that's the kind of crap they send me and I'm just like no and it's always right when I'm getting my priority orders up to the extent that I'm happy, they know exactly how to tear you write down
What about having to stay above 70% acceptance to stay a Top Dasher? If you're not a top dasher in my area the map is gray almost all the time... too many drivers here. Anyone else have the same experience?
You dont have to accept every bad order to raise your acceptance rate. All you have to do is let those bad orders time out. It does work.
Letting it timeout reduces rating no?
@@PeacefulPauseProductions I thought it didnt, but it does.
I'm a platinum driver and still get sorry offers IE $3.50 for 6 me $3 for 5 me at cetera all upside down no money to be made
My acceptance rate at 47%, still make the money that I want to make. I used to try not to decline orders. No more. Not interested in only doordash making money.
Do you think there's a difference between 47% and 50-55% acceptance?
@@PhoenixDeliveries no
Honestly the issue is they are based out of India and they don't care what we have to complain about or say, they're not going to change anything they're going to keep it as it is and that's it that's the sickest part. America needs to start coming up with their own stuff more from medications to apps, everything is based out of other countries and that's where the big stent happens
5 months in. Ive been about half and half above 70% and ive had maybe 3 days were its been noticeable and the rest im driving 12 miles for a "high paying offer" of $4.00. Its just bait to get fucked.
I hate when they put you up to the high priority status and then give you like five s*** orders in a row and then they dock your numbers down it's almost intentional
Thanks for sharing this. I am very new at this, as I am confident that this week I know I will get to 100 orders. But I live in a very small town. There is a restaurant and a pizza joint, but no chain restaurants, like McDonald's or Wendy's. Why we don't even have a traffic signal (really). So I drive almost a half hour to a town that has most of the chain outfits. Still I can set in a parking lot waiting for an order 10 minutes or so all the time. Well, Sundays can be pretty busy, and this last Sunday , December 24, was just hopping like crazy. But I have an acceptance rate of 86% and I get few orders under $5. But little to nothing over $20.
Had an interesting order yesterday. $15 for 10 miles. I took it, and even delivered 15 minutes early. After I took the picture of the delivery and verified it, the pay was only $10?? Customer service was no help at all. Perhaps the customer removed the tip after the initial order?
When I hit 70%, I start to get great orders but when i get to 75%, I'll get nothing but $7 for 13 miles or $6 for 12 miles. This will happen until im down to 64-65%. Happens all the time.
When I started DD like last year my acceptance rate NEVER went below 75% because the orders was a beautiful, hardly ever saw anything below 10 bucks. My acceptance rate went from 54% to 50% tonight. Never mind I was accepting almost every order but then the $4.50 10 miles orders came and it tanked. It seems like it’s harder to raise your acceptance rate but easier to drop it. I will work for free for DD tomorrow to get my rate up and to qualify when that class action, slave labor lawsuit happens. Also, I always thought I was an independent contractor, in control of what I do and don’t do. Apparently slavery in the US is still legal if you call it something different.
Slavery? Really? Do you even know what slavery is because it doesn't look like it to me?
@billpii6314 With all due respect, I don't believe you're wrapping your head around the concept......
You _are_ indeed an "independent" vendor that is dependent on the offerings of a "client". The client is also independent.
If you supplied meat to McDonald's and they requested you to supply the (less profitable) buns as well, you'd have a choice to refuse; just as they'd have the choice to find a vendor that would agree.
It sucks, but capitalism doesn't always work in your favor........but as dashers, we'll _always_ have glorious memories of the lockdown days when it did 😁
It is less money, but overall it’s less stress and car maintenance for sure I’ve noticed so it might even out in the long run
DD knows when you have a low AR and start taking many orders to raise it, the algorithm will start sending you the upside down orders (more miles than dollars) back to back. That's why I still cherry pick and multi-app.
And you're right they're not higher-paying orders they are just the orders that are within less mileage
My AR is 10% and I only take "high pay" orders. The only difference is that they don't have a diamond. I don't see the point of taking anything else.
I love no tip orders, when I'm hungry I eat half the food. Never been called out. Chick fil a is the best for non tippers. You are gonna miss 2 nuggets.
Sitting with a 21% AR I got a notification that I was getting high priority to high paying offers. Refreshed my phone and it went away.
What he just said $4 for 1.9 miles hell I take that in my market it'll be like $2.00 go on 5.6 me and of course if I don't accept it they penalize me not just 1 percent, no 2% oh my acceptance rate but I didn't take that extra ride on order
Yeah don't fool yourself homie diamond order in my market is $4.25, they say that's a high-paying order, they tell me in my area they sent out equal orders out to every driver I was like yeah right how'sr come getting all the $2.25 orders and the $2.75 orders and $3.25, want me to travel between 9 to 11.5 miles it is a joke and these new drivers are doing these orders.
Thank you for the test. I was contemplating raising
My acceptance rate. It doesn't worth it.
It definitely will not be for everyone!
What city do you dash in?
There are too many "I's". This video is about You and that's it. Whats youre point? Get to the point! Im bored...😮
I had a 300 order from morton's. No tip. It was the best steak I ever had. FREE.
I have a 95% acceptance rate and still get 3n 4 dollar orders trust me DoorDash ain’t paying that good
It's been difficult getting into catering program.
It shows my lifetime deliveries at 270. My other numbers are well above their requirements.
I noticed that picking up and dropping off counts separately. So does my 270 count as over 200 lifetime deliveries? ..
I messaged dd, and they said i dont qualify even tho my numbers are well above the stated requirments. Dd doesn't update to reflect my info I see on my app. Does it not update for a month on their side or..?
Another thing I noticed in my area I can only dash for 30min then have to dash again but almost every time my dash ends I get a good order but have to drive 10 miles
I love your channel and videos, but saying you don’t make more with a 70% AR at 8:00 means nothing if you don’t have any data to present to us. I wish you would have tracked dashes/miles for sample sizes at 10% AR and then tracked also again now at 74% AR because at this point it’s just conjecture.
I used to make over $30/hour almost every shift and now I make around $20-$25/hour and I usually drive more miles now. I could look over the data to provide more context but it’s difficult because I made more money on Uber Eats than I did on DoorDash
I’m top dasher .. my acceptance is 70 % now and they send me $2 orders for 11 miles
You guys are ridiculous by tracking your pay by dollar per mile 😅😅😅
When my wife reset her account and I was still at 0% we saw the exact same orders. Hers would say priority and I’d get the same order with out the priority label. You may be right about the less no tip orders for higher AR but as long as I still get enough high pay orders I’ll keep cherry picking. If things change then I’ll change.
Also I think a lot of drivers think $2 per mile is high pay no matter the total pay. Personally I rarely accept anything less than $12 and catering bag required.
Good luck to you.
I can only imagine seeing only $12+ orders. It's just not a reality for many of us. Especially if you're in Prop 22 land no doubt. The reality of decent orders range from $7-9. Anything above in a decent mileage range I consider to be a good delivery. I'm under LOP/Catering bag required offers so I'm thankful those are always over the $15 threshold. $2/mile is a good base and as long as you're getting a decent string of offers and can keep running without having to wait for an order to come in, then it's a good run imo.
$2/mile is such an interesting metric because I'd consider $30 for 15 miles pretty good, but $2 for a 1 mile delivery is not worth it at all in my opinion
@@PhoenixDeliveries The only time I would take that $2 order would be if I was parked at the door of the pickup place and I was delivering it to my next-door neighbor and it was my last order of the day, MAYBE.
@@PhoenixDeliveries guess it depends on the layout of ya hot spot, where I dash everything is a big strip and everything is 1 or 2 blocks off the strip max, and its all open roads with next to no stoplights county roads. so those little 2 to 5 dollar 1 to 2 mile trips go by in 5 to 8 minutes. so they add up to 20+ an hour real quick. I'll usually do that on wednesdays and thursdays and fluff my AR to as close to 100 as I can get it and then obliterate it on saterday and sunday and easily have a 30 to 50 an hr dinner rush cause I can say no to the little stuff and get big ones thrown at me almost immediately after delining the little one, or have big ones stacked quickly. in my zone, 30 for 10 to 15 miles is a no no, you decline those, cause thats 15 miles into the middle of nowhere corn fields vile and you making nothing/no offers in the return trip so its actually a 30 dollars for 25miles.
What a goober
I get high paying orders I would not otherwise see below 80%. Had my highest ever 2 weeks ago, $64 for 25 miles round trip. Had 2 $30+ orders last week. I earn a little more in the mid 80's versus high 70's, around $23 hour gross versus $21. Definitely see the difference over the long haul. Was over 90 for a few weeks, then the 50 & even 25 cents a mile offers started rolling. Not doing that just out of principle. My profits for my work are where I want it to be, which is what counts.
Is the $23/hour extremely consistent?
@@PhoenixDeliveries yes, I keep track of my metrics daily weekly monthly. I have stellar $30 days & piss poor $17 days, but at the end of this month today it's $23 for all days worked. My best month was January, $31 for the month. May was my worst, at $20. I think the high flying days of $30 are permanently over. After expenses, my $23 is $16 hour. That I consider good for unskilled labor, start any time I want, stop any time I need to. I see some people still earning $30 hour, but I travel all over & know it's just a few select markets. I worked Wisconsin for 5 days, the average offer was $0.83 mile. Egads, how do they keep drivers up there? I am happy with my numbers.
How much money did you lose and how much wear and tear did you put on your car to get to that high AR while taking all the trash $3 to go 15 miles orders?
@@michaelbell75 31 cents a mile. That includes depreciation, insurance, fuel, maintenance, & repairs. How about you? But I would never take the offers coming in that are 60 cents a mile & less. I get some to decline as we all do, but I am at 83 today without doing those types. I don't get a dozen offers a day like that the way a sub 50 would.
@@wayneanderson8034 You made 31 cents a mile or lost 31 cents a mile? my AR is 30%. It would take me a good 6-7 days to get it to 70% and cost me hundreds in gas and put who knows how many miles on my car that already has 101k miles on it. Im not trying to go broke and destroy my car to become a "top dasher". Especially when I can make way more off UE.
I’ve been struggling to get my AR up past 60% on UE. As soon as I get up to 60% they send me a ton of $2 and $4 McDonald’s orders!
I thought AR didn’t matter on UE.
AR doesn't matter at all on uber eats there is no point of trying to get it to 60 percent.
I raised my rate by doing a scheduled 8 hour shift on paid by time #gigtalk
I’m for sure planning to get back to that High percent threshold, gotta relate to those wait times in between actual good orders From cherry picking.
The time spent sit in a parking lot not doing anything is rough. I used to think it was fine, but with the summer heat, I just don't want to do that
The real test is whether you will be able to maintain $6K a month as a top dasher. Look forward to seeing your results!
LOL!
In a more competitive city ( i work in los Angeles) i used to get 1 to 2 orders per hour not 6/10min. I would go off top dasher if I'd get 6 orders /10min. You may want to try the experiment in a competitive city and a 2nd or 3rd person to see if your experience is universal and not unique, tailored to you. Love what you do and share with rest of us.
Agree I think it depends on the market. I'm in a competitive market. Orders are scarce but rarely below $10. It seems wise to go for the higher AR here. Not much to pick and choose from.
I was at 30 AR but thankfully was able to Reset it just recently. Went down to 61 now back up to 72 Ar. Honestly it does seem like it matters in my market unfortunately :/ the prop 22 i got yesterday was real nice too !
I use the earn by time to raise my AR
Seems like each one has its own benefits
The higher ur % is the high pay you gonna receive.
Don’t ever sit I drive around in circles if
I find it was pretty easy to keep 70 + acceptance rate. They send enough good orders than bad orders. Thats just my experience. I still decline bad orders.
No, yes it was while you were driving lol
im above %70 and its good up here... i ain gonna say to much. but yeaaaaahhhhhhhh
Good to know!
Jacob is out there jumping on $3 hand grenades for our viewing pleasure, thanks Jacob 😁
More $3 orders coming! Lol
I also was doing the exact same experiment about a week ago, from 6% up to 85%. My experience was almost the exact same as yours. I’ll keep at it and see what happens
85% is really high. Must've been a grind
You notice any significant improvement? When i started dd months ago, i was making $30-40/hr but now i only $5-10/hr and i got my acceptance rate to 58% from 0% accepting everything. It fucking sucks
My AR rate is 8%
Nice! How do you like it?
Oh please, i get 15 orders in a roll with no tip or not tip and high mileage. At peak hours. Went from 78 down to 62 ar in 5 minutes. So this video sounds like garbage.
Everyone's experience is different
Ok folks, bust your balls to get to 100% AR. THEN decline or accept until you get to 90%. Switch to earn by time until you get back to 100%.
Thank you for no edit.
You're welcome!
It absolutely matters.....idc what anyone says.....I make 300+ a day now with 80%+ before I struggle with 100 to 150
It depends where you live. There is so many factors that involve making more
after 7 mins watching you, still have no idea what you trying to prove.
Not trying to prove anything. Just sharing my thoughts
We are going to have a great day Jacob.
I wish we could unionize
You're really negative.
Excellent update Jacob, especially starting at the 10 min mark where you talk about DD trying to trick your brain with the diamond screen, etc....I can tell you this... as a person whom cannot be hypnotized nor do I fall for much of the fake news media with their BS, Door Dash was not able to trick me into staying above 50% level. I get so very much better offers back down in my 10%-20% range. But I now understand how DD is using graphics to trick the mind, however it just does not work on me... I never once saw a catering offer the 3 days I was above 50%.. Not once. .... Soon as I got back down, I get them 1-3 times a night for the most part, and 4 times in a row last Friday. Anyways, it was a good test to see how things ago, and your video here is extremely informative... Thanks for keeping us all informed...Keep up the great work.
