I was a top dasher for awhile but didn't see any more money over friends who weren't. Since I started being more choosy, I've made more money. Just my experience.
It's one of those things that varies if they have quality orders to give they are going to give those with higher acceptance rate preferential treatment of course. But at any given moment there are only so many decent offers available. Because of the way that they modeled their system the majority are garbage orders. My beef is not so much with the 70% acceptance rate for me what breaks it is the completion you have to maintain 96% for top Dasher. At least very little room to drop orders that are bad waiting times. I don't know about you guys but psychologically wait times absolutely obliterate my motivation
Same. My acceptance rate is at 6% currently. Since uber started hiding the trip details again I only accept trips within 5 minutes of my current destination.
My acceptance rate is 11% and I make $25/hr in little ole Spartanburg, SC. I'll be damned if I take somebody chick fil a from inside the mall, 12 miles away, for $2.75
@@davidtrammell2304 you right acceptance rate has nothing to do with how much money you making I myself have very low rate but still make good $$$ because I pick the right orders .
I dunno, it still just doesn't seem like a good idea to accept $5 orders that want me to drive 12 miles and well outta my zone just to protect my acceptance rate.
With gas at $4.40/ gallon, I will not accept an obviously zero tip order, even if it’s going 50 feet. The blatant disrespect for dashers by not tipping us for our time is unacceptable. My philosophy is let that $3 or $4 order rot!!!!.
Here’s my unapologetic take. If your delivery location is in an apartment, trailer home park, condo, hotel, hospital, business (I.e. Amazon warehouse) you should automatically have a surcharge of $3 added on top of the delivery cost for the drivers inconvenience - those are the people who don’t tip.
Preach, I hate apartment orders because 80% of the time they are non tippers, and then you are just walking around a maze of a building to dropoff the order. Just a DRAAAAG to finish.
@@ChristopherT_ not consistent enough for it to make the orders acceptable. I know what I’m getting myself into when I get a hospital order, because they always say “park at the round about and meet me by the door” and I risk getting a ticket there, all for the possibility of getting a tip. No sir. It says total may be higher, but we all know 95% of the time…ITS NOT
@@hustlebustle695 AND THEY NEVER WANT TO HELP. THEY JUST WATCH YOU DRIVE AROUND THE COMPLEX WITH 3000+ CONDOS/APARTMENTS 🤬🤬🤬🤬 make me want to leave it in the parking lot and tell them it will be easier for you to find it then for me to find you 😂
I'm know I'm 9 months late but I'm using uber and like you I declined every single order that I found that was worth my time to the point they sent me a message warning me that I was declining too many order. So fast forward a couple of weeks late I accepted a $5 payout order than was about 15 miles away so against my better judgment I took it and the to my surprise my next 2 orders were for $13 and $14 each. So, my advice is no matter what always accept the first order you get because your next order will be much more. Also always use the promotions that uber offers because that little extra amount of cash goes a long way considering they double after each trip.
I promise yall I still get gassed orders, catering orders, and the shitty orders. my acceptance rate is a 30% i average $100 - $150 a day doing only the lunch & dinner hot times 11am - 3:30pm & 6pm - when it gets dry. honestly depends on the locations you dash at! when i dash in areas I know people have more money i get the juicy tip orders or the better restaurants not fast food... vs when I dash on a different side of town where theres a lot of less income people they barely ever tip. im not a top dasher but i have thousands of deliveries. PLEASE DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO ACCEPT THESE $3 orders because you watched this video. even if we dont work as co workers. declining the shitty orders is the only way we can help each other. have some self respect!
I feel you and those are the times I work. I have a low acceptance rate and still can catch $100 or more in 3 hours on some days. On other days I may do $60 in 3 hours. I also try not to always go in fast food spots only if it's 2 miles or less for $7 or more and the lobby open
I turned down a C store order and 2 minutes later got a hit from the same store for 2 more items and 2 more dollars for the same mileage and it ended up being a good order. Being an aware Dasher helps keep everyone on the same playing field.
Yeah but sometimes you can't tell. I did a crab house order a few Friday's ago. Was $11 bucks for 14 miles. It was slow and I wanted to get back to the area I live and that order checked those boxes so I took it. After completing the order I saw these shit bags didn't even tip. So DD knew this order will sit there and never get picked up if it was there usual shit $2-$6 DD pay. The way I believe it works is Acceptance Rate means nothing. For Moore maybe he thinks it does because of his area and how much volume he gets but my area always has orders going around. I usually hover around 60-75% of AR and see trash orders $2.50...to good orders $15-$19. IDK to me their app isn't smart enough to do all the things we think it does.
@@neilpowell8504 I disagree. They said that they wanted to get back to their house. I do this all the time. And that way you can write off most of the way back home as business miles.
ESPECIALLY when they are apartment orders. That shit just boggles my mind. How can you order food to a building with HUNDREDS of units and you not be willing to drop 2 dollars for the person bringing your food. I just don't get it...
idk how to get my AR up when DD sends me $4 for 12 freakin miles and similar orders all the time lol at that point i’d be paying out of pocket to bring someone their food
With these 2.50 and 3.00 orders I am actually paying out of pocket for the gas literally. I just started I get alot of them. And I’ve been declining some and I might do two if the miles aren’t super crazy but no one way I can be in business if I continue to accept 2.50 and 3.00 if the miles are 5 are more.
One comment.... the idea that DoorDash does not like sedentary/stationary drivers does not make sense.... the last thing I'm going to do is burn gas moving around constantly... not to mention the additional safety risk... I personally don't care about acceptance rate with DD... Uber LEARNED that acceptance rates are not fair or necessary... not to mention I specifically remember ads for Uber and DD claiming that "make your own hours and deliver when you want"... that should eliminate any percentage worth because that implies a quota
I was a top dasher for awhile but didn't see any more money. Since I started being more choosy, I've made more money taking less deliveries. NO TIP NO TRIP
Remember...customer ratings don't pay the bills for the company (orders will always flow through the app). The acceptance ratings shows the company the willingness to work ("to make money"). It's like being an apprentice, you work your way up and "gain" experience. Acceptance should be discriminated by factors like: 1. If its a known unsafe place; 2. Unacceptable distance. At least, with DD you know what you're getting paid and destination. I've been doing Uber for two months; and the main issue is not knowing where you're going until you pick the order; the other one is not knowing what you're getting paid until there's a break on deliveries. But the tips are the thing; 45% of my earnings come from those.
Same with me. I will maybe do one order but I can’t continue to do a lot of them because I would actually use my own money to deliver them, it cost me more to deliver them especially if they are over three miles for me takes me out to a zone where less orders are taken than I have to drive back to busy area and that whole trip just cost me 30 mins and 15 miles maybe more. I couldn’t survive and not go bankrupt if I continue to do those orders and i just started working. Yes, I’m making some money but my car is getting loaded with miles first week I drove over 600 miles. I can’t continue at this rate.
I believe acceptance rate absolutely matters. I fluctuate between 70-85%. I barely get any crap orders. Back when I was cherry picking I could wait for 10-15 minutes for a decent order while declining a slew of crap orders. I also now get orders really far away. Let's say I got an 8 mile order finished it and was heading back. I used to have to drive the whole way back to get an order. No it will give me orders five miles away that I should arrive to when it's ready to go.
I was always under the understanding that they chose pickups via people who are at distant to be there when the order is likely to be ready in order to promote drivers staying on the road and not create jams at restaurants. Quick in and outs are more sexy for business
One thing about taking only the good orders. You are most likely the first driver that was offered this order. Most likely that order is newer and the restaurant also just got it. This means longer wait time for the food. Sometimes best to just take the OK and up orders.
I’ve been a top dasher acceptance rating 100% and I would struggle to make a $100.00 a day. Also I would get orders under $4.00 at 20 miles at times when top dasher. It did not pay off for me to have a high acceptance rating.When I started picking the orders I wanted I made more money in a day not being a top dasher. I was doing doordash full time working 10 to 12 hour days not making money.
I'm a top dasher, my average rating is 4.82 acceptance rate is 94% completion rate is 99% lifetime deliveries is 562 I notice when my acceptance rate went up, I've been getting bigger orders, I mean like $ 7 to $9 orders, and when my acceptance rate was down, most of the orders were like $2.50 or $3.50 very little, So I think it does matter to doordash, And when i became a top dasher, I noticed, I"m alot more busy non stop
It does!!! Our area keeps hiring new drives in waves every few months but you can't schedule unless you are a top dasher this area is always busy with over 200k people and we make $300 a day as top dashers but if you lose it you can't even work!!!! I lost mine this month. I am done with this company over 30 orders in a row and my rate stayed at 67% 🤬 yeah scam much no way a rolling 100 drops from a 72% to 67% from one order being missed then I do 30 in a row and no move day 4 calling and asking to speak to managers!!!
I leterly be parked for 15 minutes and watching other dashers leave and come back then get a 3$ order decline... but still make my money top dashers will get orders first but yet i tried the ither day accepting more orders and toped out my acceptance rate to 78% i was getting fat orders it also depends on your market
I have to be picky. I will not take an order for 3-5 dollars to go 6-12 miles and out of my zone sometimes. Sometimes i have to decline 10 orders in a row. I am not here just to make a custormer happy and lose my shirt over it. Door dash should set a mim tip to custormers of 5 dollars for drivers.
He got the order because he was in the queue before you were. When you sign in especially when it's busy, do you notice you get bombarded with crap orders? Those are the orders they can't find anyone else to do, you get them because those orders are already through the queue. You just signed in. He was already dashing. You are at the end of the queue. He was not. What you need to do, dash for a few hours, then without signing out try the same experiment. Try it without tipping.
My acceptance rate is literally 8% and I’ve completed almost 1,000 orders total. I average anywhere from $22-26 an hour (during meal times) in my market. Sometimes better but very rarely worse than that. I appreciate your content and well done, but I simply will not take no tip orders unless DD pairs them with another order unbeknownst by me. It’s a matter of principle. You don’t tip? Then go pick up your order yourself.
My acceptance rate was in the 90’s and I still was getting 2.50 and 3.50 if I continued to accept them I would be paying for the deliveries out of my own money.
sometimes you have to call the restaurant and tell them to press whatever button says that the "order is ready" - my bf and I just experienced it and I had a 50% acceptance rate and my friend has 100%
I’ve been torn on which to do. Sometimes i don’t wanna sit around so accept almost anything. Only been at it 3 weeks. Not enough data. On new years eve it was a no brainer to cherry pick because you decline a mediocre one the next order comes right in. Other than that i work overnight so if i decline one i might be sitting around a while
I accept the challenge, currently my customer rating is a 4.78 acceptance rate 77. Completion rate 93 and on time or early 92. With 510 orders under my belt
I thought it was in the contract that Acceptance Rate can not be counted against you. Now I realize they can not suspend your account for not accepting orders, however, if they have an algorithm that sends orders to individuals with higher acceptance rates then I am sure there is a lawyer smart enough to make an argument that by redirecting deliveries they are, in a way, suspending you by not giving you orders. For myself, my acceptance rate is now at 32%. I started out accepting everything but I was under the assumption that I had to. As soon as I found out I became a declining machine. No orders under $6.00 and no distances over 10 miles. I realize that is unrealistic for all areas but I am definitely making more money and am much happier.
Yes I still don’t believe in any of what was said in this video, yet it continues to get said. Maybe his market, but not mine. My acceptance rate is between 25-35% and I have no problem getting orders. Especially on weekends. Why frustrate yourself?
@Dave Hock He has a video where he did decline multiple orders and doordash suspended him for 10 minutes and would not send him orders. He showed the message on the doordash app.
@@amandaridings7012 It was a him problem. I get the "no orders for 10 minutes" thing many times a day, and never ever have I not been able to select 'resume dashing'. But it's up to you what you believe.
It’s not a matter of whether or not you’re getting orders based on acceptance rate, it’s a matter of the quality of the order. The entire premise being that we are trying to figure out if DoorDash gives high-paying orders to those with high acceptance rates compared to those without. So the argument cannot be made for suspension because borders are still coming through there just really crappy.
I tested it in Orlando Florida. Only a few different of the areas because of how many there are but I'm not falling for that bs. I'll stick to what works. 2k a week doing my usual thing... top dasher not worth it imo. NEXT!
They do not care if you are sitting in a parking lot waiting for orders. It would be a MAJOR lawsuit if they required you to be operating a vehicle while accepting orders on your phone. Think about it.
My market sucks. So cherry picking it is for me with low acceptance rate. I multi app, so it is what it is. I never do Walmart orders. So I get those like ten in a row at times. 🤷🏾♀️
I started this gig in October and within the first week I learned really quick to focus on dollar to mile ratio. My acceptance rating dropped pretty quick because of this. Then one day I got 10 Walmart orders in a row, my rating dropped to 15%! I'm finally rebuilding that back up! I still get a decent amount of orders. Another funny thing I want to point out. I was out dashing one night, ordered door dash because I had a 50% off code! I ended up getting my own dash!
Be careful with this. Deactivation territory at DD discretion, aka, “we don’t have to give you a specific reason why”. You think DD really wants to pay you for delivering your own order?
@Amber Rivera Exactly! However, when it comes to driver accounts, DD & GH have a history of deactivating 1st when the audit algo detects something that might be “fishy” instead of asking the driver about the situation that occurred. Maybe Blake will rehash one of his prior deactivations that took some time to work through.
Its possible they sometimes cater to newer drivers with fewer lifetime deliveries, to get them hooked. You can't retain new drivers if they learn right off the bat that they are going to get screwed.
I really with these apps would just be a lot more transparent so that we could better plan our dashes. I mean, we are a "business" or they try their best to make us think that. Why not give us the tools to provide a better service?
@@StudioDaVeed 500 deliveries is highly unlikely the guy is still inside his first two weeks. that is an average of 35.7 deliveries every single day for 14 days.
The amount means nothing, it’s ratings and it’s how many you’ve had that night. I’d love to see the algorithm they use. Although I know it’s better to be in an area with less dashers than another. Otherwise it’s too much to spread around. I drive to areas that are busy but probably don’t have as many drivers. I get a new preset the second I drop one off most times in those area’s.
I have a high rating around 94. I have had it both ways... I have been near a location and 10 miles away...Makes me wonder..since I know there are plenty of dashers in our area. The #1 tourist area in America...The Smokey Mountains...
if the delivery went to your residence then the address for delivery would be the same as the address for the driver.... and i suspect they may not allow this scenario to take place.
I've been dashing for 3 years. been a top dasher for about 10 months straight now. I've had $200 days accepting everything, 3 days in a row, followed by a $130 friday taking everything. my acceptance rate has been 80-90. same with cherry picking. i don't think we have nearly as much control over pay as we think. get a feel for business volume in your area, take what you want to take, and don't drive yourself crazy trying to figure out how doordash does it's thing.
You are correct that you must get a feel and handle on your market. And accept that every day and even hour is different. It all depends on so many variables that are NEVER repeated. DoorDash tells you right up front what the 'rules' are. How you need to play the game is wholly dependent upon your market. I'm in conversation with a sad little soul on another channel that SWEARS since he is over 90% acceptance he is getting sweetheart offers No ONE else gets. And these 'hidden deals' are even based upon 5% increments in Acceptance Rate. Eye roll - poor thing...lmao....what he and many others never will grasp is DD has these metrics and rules put out there that they MUST follow. No hidden sweet heart offers to high rating people (other than what is publicly spelled out) exist within DD. It would be an instant slam dunk win class action lawsuit if DD did this behind the scenes shit. And if there are sweet heart deals why does cherry picking work for some??? Learn and work your market - that is the only 'secret'. And blow off everyone else that professes to 'let you in' on how to do it. They are full of shit.
It aint gonna no easier at making honest money!!! Why would someone become a courrier and not perform the deliveries. Cherry picking for orders is lame and for losers....
Thats unfortunate that you have no self worth and take 2.25 orders depending on your markets base. If i was in front of the merchant and the customer was in the parking lot of the merchant i wouldnt take a $3 order to deliver that to the parking lot. YOU ARE BOTH WORTH MORE. But i guess thanks cause while you are taking every order i am making $30+ per hour on lunch shift i a small town in indiana. I average at least $2.50 per mile. So again i say thank you but you deserve better. However if there werent dashers like you DD would have to raise the base to $5 an order but they dont have to cause they have great dashers like you.
I'm td this month just experimental purposes, I have been getting a tad better orders, I think it's more random than we all think, I still get plenty of no tip offers. I did make 324.64 yesterday in 10 hrs and 50 min yesterday...29.95 an hour all day baby!
Doordash drivers are contractors.DD knows that they can’t demand that drivers take certain orders like they can with employees(who they would need to pay healthcare, mileage etc to). This attempt to punish contractors should be studied by lawyers:) Either way, taking less money is a bad philosophy if you want to make more money…😄
I'm grumpy as fuck, because I almost never get orders over $1 per mile. I see yours being significantly better than $1/mi.... Maybe I should move to your city.
Kind of a catch-22 situation though... If you're getting shitty orders because your acceptance rating is low and you're actually trying to make a net income then you're more incentivized to keep cherrypicking which keeps your acceptance rate low which keeps you getting shitty orders which keeps making you have to cherry pick... So it's almost like once you're in the hole you've got to punitively take the shitty orders like an act of Contrition to Doordash just to get out of that loop, which is _not_ a good or ethical way to be running a business in my opinion, not everyone can afford to be losing money for a couple days or weeks doing this job. I mean, honestly the reason _my_ acceptance rating is so low is more the fact that a lot of the orders I get are to unsafe parts of my city. (I work the Cleveland Suburbs but almost constantly get orders trying to send me to the East Side, which is a very dangerous part of town.)
I don’t believe Doordash cares about much except making money. Top dasher means nothing. If you have a brand new paid for Prius and get 50 plus miles per gallon, top dasher may be for you, and you can make decent cash. However if you have a vehicle that takes a nice chunk of your daily earnings your always going to have to be choosy about the trips you take. 1.00 per mile MINIMUM. And that isn’t necessarily all that needs to be considered. Because if you get a 10 mile run, at $10 but you are taken way out of the busy area by let’s say to be fair 8 miles, then you’re driving a total of 18 miles for that $10 which comes out to about $.56 per mile. So at the end of the day, what do you make with those trips is going back into your tank, and out of your pocket, and left with peanuts. So that’s why I say you have to have a decent hybrid that is actually completely paid for, to come out ahead.
I have a theory your recent acceptance rate matters. If you are accepting every order doordash could want to keep your ball rolling so you don't have to wait long for another. I noticed this on Uber eats when I would always get an order right after my last but if I deny one I could get a drought. This could be the case for doordash too.
You might be right. I find as I just finish giving the order as I go back to my car I have another one. My shifts are always like this. It’s like I don’t get a second without a order to come in.
I find this to be true. If I start off the night excepting the first offer and continue on I get offer after offer once completed. But as soon as I deny one or two it goes dark for a while
When I was choosy and my rating was down I got good orders since my rate has gone from 35 to 60% I’ve been getting a bunch of bullshit orders . 2.50 - 5.00 .
Unfortunately. All of this data you collected showed a variant of pennies and luck of the draw. Yes you are “prioritized” for better offers. But at the end I can get that same order in your market before you if I happened to be closer to that restaurant
"DoorDash doesn't like to give orders to sedentary drivers". OK so I thought I would test this theory today. I paused my dash so I could refuel. The gas station just happened to be across the street from a Chick Fil A! Cool! So, I fueled up and resumed my dash and just sat there. In less than 5 minutes I got an order to go to Chick Fil A. I wonder if some of the tips and tricks Dashers post to RUclips are market dependent? Anyway, happy Dashing guys!
I was sitting in the Taco Bell parking lot last night since my previous trip had taken me back to the area. Received 2 Taco Bell orders within a couple of minutes. I'm not a TD.
Here’s another thought, maybe the DD system could see that an order came from a customer that lives at the same address as you. Maybe that’s why you didn’t get it.
Its not the acceptance rate that he has, it's that you are closer and the order was just put they give the order to a farther away driver, I have noticed that with big tipping orders also, I can be dropping off an order and I get an order for the same expensive restaurant even if I'm 5 miles away. When I get to the restaurant many dashers in the parking lot waiting for orders and I show up and get the order lol
That may be true but also do you even get orders in your apartment complex. What I notice is that I rarely get orders in my neighborhood. I have no idea if doordash specifically doesn't show u the doordash orders in your neighborhood unless your are the only dasher that can do this order. SO I see where you are going with the person having a higher acceptance rate but if I'm noticing I never get orders in my neighborhood often, then this experiment is invalid. I think a real test would be having a friend order food, see if you can get the order, if you get the order then either it doesn't matter, or it does. If another dasher gets the order, then ask that dasher to see what the rate is to determine it the rate does matter
I get mad orders while being sedentary... Plus my acceptance rate is a stunning 17%... Only matters if your top Dasher... Other variables factor too like market, time of month, ect...
I think another factor that comes into play to who the order gets sent to which Dasher first is the length of time the order takes to make and the time the Dasher is away. Since you were so close, I think, DoorDash didn't want you to wait longer than 5 or 10 mins to grab the order and then deliver it. The order will probably get around to you if enough Dashers decline it.
This has not been my experience, as a dasher w/ a high acceptance rate, I get orders earlier in the clock and wait 8-10 min. routinely as it starts getting busy.
I would add that there could be other factors to this. How long you were active before the order came in? Did you get any other orders before/after that? If I could guess I would assume that DD would have a queue that someone who has not gotten an order in a while may get first dibs. Also you are single point in a data set and there are so many other variables.
I had a banger order tonight. I got paid $11 to do a Zaxby's order six miles out to the country and then the guy hands me a $20 cash tip🤑 Also had what I thought was a $6.50 order at Krystal and it went up additional $6 to $12.50. What an awesome night!
Hi Blake, I'm still thinking that you could be right, but I sometimes still get low ball orders. I have a 4.94 rating 35% acceptance 100 % completion 93% On time 965 delivers....tell me what you think and I'll test it out here in Fayetteville, NC
I’m going to try this test next week at the start of the year. Right now my acceptance rate is 50%. I will upload videos on my RUclips channel, My journey to become top dasher
If you let offers expire instead of declining them, they don‘t affect your acceptance rating. You can artificially raise acceptance rate by letting bad offers expire. Support agent tipped me off to this when I asked if they would stop sending me Macy‘s shopping orders. She said let them expire so they don‘t negatively impact my acceptance rate. I started doing this and my acceptance rate went up.
@Moore Finance I was told by multiple DD Support people that Orders are given out in a line order.. every dasher is in a line to get orders once you get one you go to the back of the line and that only changes if the person next in line to get a order is miles away from the restaurant.
The vast majority of customer service agents don't know jack shit but what their handful of tools tell them. There might be a line, but there are a number of factors which will push you up, back or off the line completely. I assure you, t's not an even playing field for everyone all the time like that.
Would you have been a better candidate? They look at your acceptance rate and question if you’ll actually accept. They look at his and know he’ll accept which equals better service for the person who ordered no?
On another note i dont go for acceptance and i have had good orders that have came through when i definitely was not the closest to the restaurant. Really dont think acceptance matters much. Maybe active time?
This makes me curious but terrifies me lol... ive had a few bad shifts lately and its NOT making me want to bring my AR up... im already pretty easy going. Did a 9 dollar order for 13 miles lol. And my acceptance rate is 54% and dropping lol.
Doordash wants to please cheap people by subsidizing their cheapness through the generosity of others. Smart. But pass. Anyone who wants anything from me has to pay me adequate money. That includes both the customer and doordash.
I have a theory they also try to give orders to drivers that have made less $ per hour, maybe a 20$/hr threshold in my area. Seems like once I make more even if it's busy I notice other drivers getting orders first
I think, at the end of the day, there is no clear difference in revenue between cherry pickers and others. If you are in a super busy market with lots of great orders, acceptance rate won't matter at all.
Relevant factors , location of delivery, location of dasher, , location of store,
I was a top dasher for awhile but didn't see any more money over friends who weren't. Since I started being more choosy, I've made more money. Just my experience.

What na too many miles
Yah not happening im going to keep rejecting shit orders lol
What about $5 for 1 mile
With gas at $4.40/ gallon, I will not accept an obviously zero tip order, even if it’s going 50 feet.
The blatant disrespect for dashers by not tipping us for our time is unacceptable. My philosophy is let that $3 or $4 order rot!!!!.
nah i will never take a order below 8.00 my time and car is worth more then 2.75 for 5 mi!
Here’s my unapologetic take. If your delivery location is in an apartment, trailer home park, condo, hotel, hospital, business (I.e. Amazon warehouse) you should automatically have a surcharge of $3 added on top of the delivery cost for the drivers inconvenience - those are the people who don’t tip.
Apartments makeup about half of my deliveries. Also I disagree with the hotel and hospitals. I've got some pretty generous tips from people at hotels.
Preach, I hate apartment orders because 80% of the time they are non tippers, and then you are just walking around a maze of a building to dropoff the order. Just a DRAAAAG to finish.
@@ChristopherT_ not consistent enough for it to make the orders acceptable. I know what I’m getting myself into when I get a hospital order, because they always say “park at the round about and meet me by the door” and I risk getting a ticket there, all for the possibility of getting a tip. No sir. It says total may be higher, but we all know 95% of the time…ITS NOT
@@hustlebustle695 I despise maze apt complexes.
@@hustlebustle695 AND THEY NEVER WANT TO HELP. THEY JUST WATCH YOU DRIVE AROUND THE COMPLEX WITH 3000+ CONDOS/APARTMENTS 🤬🤬🤬🤬 make me want to leave it in the parking lot and tell them it will be easier for you to find it then for me to find you 😂
I'm know I'm 9 months late but I'm using uber and like you I declined every single order that I found that was worth my time to the point they sent me a message warning me that I was declining too many order. So fast forward a couple of weeks late I accepted a $5 payout order than was about 15 miles away so against my better judgment I took it and the to my surprise my next 2 orders were for $13 and $14 each. So, my advice is no matter what always accept the first order you get because your next order will be much more. Also always use the promotions that uber offers because that little extra amount of cash goes a long way considering they double after each trip.
I promise yall I still get gassed orders, catering orders, and the shitty orders. my acceptance rate is a 30% i average $100 - $150 a day doing only the lunch & dinner hot times 11am - 3:30pm & 6pm - when it gets dry. honestly depends on the locations you dash at! when i dash in areas I know people have more money i get the juicy tip orders or the better restaurants not fast food... vs when I dash on a different side of town where theres a lot of less income people they barely ever tip. im not a top dasher but i have thousands of deliveries. PLEASE DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO ACCEPT THESE $3 orders because you watched this video. even if we dont work as co workers. declining the shitty orders is the only way we can help each other. have some self respect!
I feel you and those are the times I work. I have a low acceptance rate and still can catch $100 or more in 3 hours on some days. On other days I may do $60 in 3 hours. I also try not to always go in fast food spots only if it's 2 miles or less for $7 or more and the lobby open
I turned down a C store order and 2 minutes later got a hit from the same store for 2 more items and 2 more dollars for the same mileage and it ended up being a good order. Being an aware Dasher helps keep everyone on the same playing field.
Nice! I agree!
I still can’t bring myself to accept no tip orders. No tippers, nope I just can’t do it.
I totally agree👌🏻
Yeah but sometimes you can't tell. I did a crab house order a few Friday's ago. Was $11 bucks for 14 miles. It was slow and I wanted to get back to the area I live and that order checked those boxes so I took it. After completing the order I saw these shit bags didn't even tip. So DD knew this order will sit there and never get picked up if it was there usual shit $2-$6 DD pay.
The way I believe it works is Acceptance Rate means nothing. For Moore maybe he thinks it does because of his area and how much volume he gets but my area always has orders going around. I usually hover around 60-75% of AR and see trash orders $2.50...to good orders $15-$19. IDK to me their app isn't smart enough to do all the things we think it does.
@@ManMonkey600 don’t do that again, you need a dollar per mile
@@neilpowell8504 I disagree. They said that they wanted to get back to their house. I do this all the time. And that way you can write off most of the way back home as business miles.
ESPECIALLY when they are apartment orders. That shit just boggles my mind. How can you order food to a building with HUNDREDS of units and you not be willing to drop 2 dollars for the person bringing your food. I just don't get it...
idk how to get my AR up when DD sends me $4 for 12 freakin miles and similar orders all the time lol at that point i’d be paying out of pocket to bring someone their food
With these 2.50 and 3.00 orders I am actually paying out of pocket for the gas literally. I just started I get alot of them. And I’ve been declining some and I might do two if the miles aren’t super crazy but no one way I can be in business if I continue to accept 2.50 and 3.00 if the miles are 5 are more.
One comment.... the idea that DoorDash does not like sedentary/stationary drivers does not make sense.... the last thing I'm going to do is burn gas moving around constantly... not to mention the additional safety risk... I personally don't care about acceptance rate with DD... Uber LEARNED that acceptance rates are not fair or necessary... not to mention I specifically remember ads for Uber and DD claiming that "make your own hours and deliver when you want"... that should eliminate any percentage worth because that implies a quota
I was a top dasher for awhile but didn't see any more money. Since I started being more choosy, I've made more money taking less deliveries. NO TIP NO TRIP
Remember...customer ratings don't pay the bills for the company (orders will always flow through the app). The acceptance ratings shows the company the willingness to work ("to make money"). It's like being an apprentice, you work your way up and "gain" experience. Acceptance should be discriminated by factors like: 1. If its a known unsafe place; 2. Unacceptable distance. At least, with DD you know what you're getting paid and destination. I've been doing Uber for two months; and the main issue is not knowing where you're going until you pick the order; the other one is not knowing what you're getting paid until there's a break on deliveries. But the tips are the thing; 45% of my earnings come from those.
My acceptance rate is like 9% but I do okay enough
My rating was at 91%. I got FLOODED with $2.50 and $3.50 orders that I refuse to accept and my rating went down to 48% in 1 month...
Same with me. I will maybe do one order but I can’t continue to do a lot of them because I would actually use my own money to deliver them, it cost me more to deliver them especially if they are over three miles for me takes me out to a zone where less orders are taken than I have to drive back to busy area and that whole trip just cost me 30 mins and 15 miles maybe more. I couldn’t survive and not go bankrupt if I continue to do those orders and i just started working. Yes, I’m making some money but my car is getting loaded with miles first week I drove over 600 miles. I can’t continue at this rate.
I believe acceptance rate absolutely matters. I fluctuate between 70-85%. I barely get any crap orders. Back when I was cherry picking I could wait for 10-15 minutes for a decent order while declining a slew of crap orders. I also now get orders really far away. Let's say I got an 8 mile order finished it and was heading back. I used to have to drive the whole way back to get an order. No it will give me orders five miles away that I should arrive to when it's ready to go.
I was always under the understanding that they chose pickups via people who are at distant to be there when the order is likely to be ready in order to promote drivers staying on the road and not create jams at restaurants. Quick in and outs are more sexy for business
One thing about taking only the good orders. You are most likely the first driver that was offered this order. Most likely that order is newer and the restaurant also just got it. This means longer wait time for the food. Sometimes best to just take the OK and up orders.
I’ve been a top dasher acceptance rating 100% and I would struggle to make a $100.00 a day. Also I would get orders under $4.00 at 20 miles at times when top dasher. It did not pay off for me to have a high acceptance rating.When I started picking the orders I wanted I made more money in a day not being a top dasher. I was doing doordash full time working 10 to 12 hour days not making money.
I'm a top dasher, my average rating is 4.82 acceptance rate is 94% completion rate is 99% lifetime deliveries is 562 I notice when my acceptance rate went up, I've been getting bigger orders, I mean like $ 7 to $9 orders, and when my acceptance rate was down, most of the orders were like $2.50 or $3.50 very little, So I think it does matter to doordash, And when i became a top dasher, I noticed, I"m alot more busy non stop
It does!!! Our area keeps hiring new drives in waves every few months but you can't schedule unless you are a top dasher this area is always busy with over 200k people and we make $300 a day as top dashers but if you lose it you can't even work!!!! I lost mine this month. I am done with this company over 30 orders in a row and my rate stayed at 67% 🤬 yeah scam much no way a rolling 100 drops from a 72% to 67% from one order being missed then I do 30 in a row and no move day 4 calling and asking to speak to managers!!!
I leterly be parked for 15 minutes and watching other dashers leave and come back then get a 3$ order decline... but still make my money top dashers will get orders first but yet i tried the ither day accepting more orders and toped out my acceptance rate to 78% i was getting fat orders it also depends on your market
" you are a boss " and we work for profit we dont work for free.
I have to be picky. I will not take an order for 3-5 dollars to go 6-12 miles and out of my zone sometimes. Sometimes i have to decline 10 orders in a row. I am not here just to make a custormer happy and lose my shirt over it. Door dash should set a mim tip to custormers of 5 dollars for drivers.
Understandable fs!
He got the order because he was in the queue before you were. When you sign in especially when it's busy, do you notice you get bombarded with crap orders? Those are the orders they can't find anyone else to do, you get them because those orders are already through the queue.
You just signed in. He was already dashing. You are at the end of the queue. He was not.
What you need to do, dash for a few hours, then without signing out try the same experiment. Try it without tipping.
This comment is literally better than all doordash vids thanks bra
They probably give the delivery to the dasher who will do it for the smallest fare. DD is a horrible company.
My acceptance rate is literally 8% and I’ve completed almost 1,000 orders total. I average anywhere from $22-26 an hour (during meal times) in my market. Sometimes better but very rarely worse than that. I appreciate your content and well done, but I simply will not take no tip orders unless DD pairs them with another order unbeknownst by me. It’s a matter of principle. You don’t tip? Then go pick up your order yourself.
Lies
Facts bro I’m with Uber eats like why do people think I
Going to go out my way for 2:50?
My acceptance rate was in the 90’s and I still was getting 2.50 and 3.50 if I continued to accept them I would be paying for the deliveries out of my own money.
sometimes you have to call the restaurant and tell them to press whatever button says that the "order is ready" - my bf and I just experienced it and I had a 50% acceptance rate and my friend has 100%
I’ve been torn on which to do. Sometimes i don’t wanna sit around so accept almost anything. Only been at it 3 weeks. Not enough data. On new years eve it was a no brainer to cherry pick because you decline a mediocre one the next order comes right in. Other than that i work overnight so if i decline one i might be sitting around a while
I accept every order no matter what.
i heard around here from a employee at 9pm door dash shuts down
My acceptance was almost 100 before and I still would get crap no tipping orders. 5 star rating and 100 completion
I accept the challenge, currently my customer rating is a 4.78 acceptance rate 77. Completion rate 93 and on time or early 92. With 510 orders under my belt
Just go out a run $3 orders that go 7 miles don't worry you'll be fine
I thought it was in the contract that Acceptance Rate can not be counted against you. Now I realize they can not suspend your account for not accepting orders, however, if they have an algorithm that sends orders to individuals with higher acceptance rates then I am sure there is a lawyer smart enough to make an argument that by redirecting deliveries they are, in a way, suspending you by not giving you orders.
For myself, my acceptance rate is now at 32%. I started out accepting everything but I was under the assumption that I had to. As soon as I found out I became a declining machine. No orders under $6.00 and no distances over 10 miles. I realize that is unrealistic for all areas but I am definitely making more money and am much happier.
Yes I still don’t believe in any of what was said in this video, yet it continues to get said. Maybe his market, but not mine. My acceptance rate is between 25-35% and I have no problem getting orders. Especially on weekends. Why frustrate yourself?
@Dave Hock He has a video where he did decline multiple orders and doordash suspended him for 10 minutes and would not send him orders. He showed the message on the doordash app.
@@amandaridings7012 It was a him problem. I get the "no orders for 10 minutes" thing many times a day, and never ever have I not been able to select 'resume dashing'.
But it's up to you what you believe.
It’s not a matter of whether or not you’re getting orders based on acceptance rate, it’s a matter of the quality of the order. The entire premise being that we are trying to figure out if DoorDash gives high-paying orders to those with high acceptance rates compared to those without. So the argument cannot be made for suspension because borders are still coming through there just really crappy.
@@amandaridings7012 did he do so by declining them directly with the decline button or by letting them time out?
I tested it in Orlando Florida. Only a few different of the areas because of how many there are but I'm not falling for that bs. I'll stick to what works. 2k a week doing my usual thing... top dasher not worth it imo. NEXT!
They do not care if you are sitting in a parking lot waiting for orders. It would be a MAJOR lawsuit if they required you to be operating a vehicle while accepting orders on your phone. Think about it.
My market sucks. So cherry picking it is for me with low acceptance rate. I multi app, so it is what it is. I never do Walmart orders. So I get those like ten in a row at times. 🤷🏾♀️
Great video.
I started this gig in October and within the first week I learned really quick to focus on dollar to mile ratio. My acceptance rating dropped pretty quick because of this. Then one day I got 10 Walmart orders in a row, my rating dropped to 15%! I'm finally rebuilding that back up! I still get a decent amount of orders.
Another funny thing I want to point out. I was out dashing one night, ordered door dash because I had a 50% off code! I ended up getting my own dash!
Be careful with this. Deactivation territory at DD discretion, aka, “we don’t have to give you a specific reason why”. You think DD really wants to pay you for delivering your own order?
I honestly didn't do this intentionally. I figured I would do it since it came across. It was a decent time ago.
@Amber Rivera Exactly! However, when it comes to driver accounts, DD & GH have a history of deactivating 1st when the audit algo detects something that might be “fishy” instead of asking the driver about the situation that occurred. Maybe Blake will rehash one of his prior deactivations that took some time to work through.
I was wondering about that. Lol
I dreamt of this happening to me..lol you deserve a big tip!
Good idea!
Its possible they sometimes cater to newer drivers with fewer lifetime deliveries, to get them hooked. You can't retain new drivers if they learn right off the bat that they are going to get screwed.
This isn’t my experience. The algorithm will reward any dasher that accepts orders.
Actually DD says so right up front.
New Dashers have Top Dasher status for the first two weeks.
I really with these apps would just be a lot more transparent so that we could better plan our dashes. I mean, we are a "business" or they try their best to make us think that. Why not give us the tools to provide a better service?
@@StudioDaVeed 500 deliveries is highly unlikely the guy is still inside his first two weeks. that is an average of 35.7 deliveries every single day for 14 days.
@@cebedojames
No where is it said he is only two weeks into his DD career.
The amount means nothing, it’s ratings and it’s how many you’ve had that night. I’d love to see the algorithm they use. Although I know it’s better to be in an area with less dashers than another. Otherwise it’s too much to spread around. I drive to areas that are busy but probably don’t have as many drivers. I get a new preset the second I drop one off most times in those area’s.
I have a high rating around 94. I have had it both ways...
I have been near a location and 10 miles away...Makes me wonder..since I know there are plenty of dashers in our area. The #1 tourist area in America...The Smokey Mountains...
I would suspect that he was also a top dasher and was waiting longer.
Maybe the guy who got your wife’s order was a relatively new Dasher. DD tends to favor green drivers over veteran drivers.
if the delivery went to your residence then the address for delivery would be the same as the address for the driver.... and i suspect they may not allow this scenario to take place.
I've been dashing for 3 years. been a top dasher for about 10 months straight now. I've had $200 days accepting everything, 3 days in a row, followed by a $130 friday taking everything. my acceptance rate has been 80-90. same with cherry picking. i don't think we have nearly as much control over pay as we think. get a feel for business volume in your area, take what you want to take, and don't drive yourself crazy trying to figure out how doordash does it's thing.
You are correct that you must get a feel and handle on your market.
And accept that every day and even hour is different. It all depends on so many variables that are NEVER repeated.
DoorDash tells you right up front what the 'rules' are.
How you need to play the game is wholly dependent upon your market.
I'm in conversation with a sad little soul on another channel that SWEARS since he is over 90% acceptance he is getting sweetheart offers No ONE else gets.
And these 'hidden deals' are even based upon 5% increments in Acceptance Rate.
Eye roll - poor thing...lmao....what he and many others never will grasp is DD has these metrics and rules put out there that they MUST follow.
No hidden sweet heart offers to high rating people (other than what is publicly spelled out) exist within DD.
It would be an instant slam dunk win class action lawsuit if DD did this behind the scenes shit.
And if there are sweet heart deals why does cherry picking work for some???
Learn and work your market - that is the only 'secret'.
And blow off everyone else that professes to 'let you in' on how to do it.
They are full of shit.
Thank you!!!!!
Exactly.
It aint gonna no easier at making honest money!!! Why would someone become a courrier and not perform the deliveries. Cherry picking for orders is lame and for losers....
I'm a top dasher for 4 months now and I do make more
Perhaps the pickup time suited the other dashers arrival?
I am always stressed if my AR drops below 95
Ditto
Thats unfortunate that you have no self worth and take 2.25 orders depending on your markets base. If i was in front of the merchant and the customer was in the parking lot of the merchant i wouldnt take a $3 order to deliver that to the parking lot. YOU ARE BOTH WORTH MORE. But i guess thanks cause while you are taking every order i am making $30+ per hour on lunch shift i a small town in indiana. I average at least $2.50 per mile. So again i say thank you but you deserve better. However if there werent dashers like you DD would have to raise the base to $5 an order but they dont have to cause they have great dashers like you.
Acceptance rate doesn’t matter. They want you to believe it does. Don’t accept every order.
I'm td this month just experimental purposes, I have been getting a tad better orders, I think it's more random than we all think, I still get plenty of no tip offers. I did make 324.64 yesterday in 10 hrs and 50 min yesterday...29.95 an hour all day baby!
Doordash drivers are contractors.DD knows that they can’t demand that drivers take certain orders like they can with employees(who they would need to pay healthcare, mileage etc to). This attempt to punish contractors should be studied by lawyers:) Either way, taking less money is a bad philosophy if you want to make more money…😄
I'm proud of my low acceptance rate!
I'm grumpy as fuck, because I almost never get orders over $1 per mile. I see yours being significantly better than $1/mi.... Maybe I should move to your city.
Accept everything
Kind of a catch-22 situation though... If you're getting shitty orders because your acceptance rating is low and you're actually trying to make a net income then you're more incentivized to keep cherrypicking which keeps your acceptance rate low which keeps you getting shitty orders which keeps making you have to cherry pick... So it's almost like once you're in the hole you've got to punitively take the shitty orders like an act of Contrition to Doordash just to get out of that loop, which is _not_ a good or ethical way to be running a business in my opinion, not everyone can afford to be losing money for a couple days or weeks doing this job. I mean, honestly the reason _my_ acceptance rating is so low is more the fact that a lot of the orders I get are to unsafe parts of my city. (I work the Cleveland Suburbs but almost constantly get orders trying to send me to the East Side, which is a very dangerous part of town.)
This comment is hilarious and intelligent.
I totally agree with you!
I don’t believe Doordash cares about much except making money. Top dasher means nothing.
If you have a brand new paid for Prius and get 50 plus miles per gallon, top dasher may be for you, and you can make decent cash.
However if you have a vehicle that takes a nice chunk of your daily earnings your always going to have to be choosy about the trips you take. 1.00 per mile MINIMUM. And that isn’t necessarily all that needs to be considered. Because if you get a 10 mile run, at $10 but you are taken way out of the busy area by let’s say to be fair 8 miles, then you’re driving a total of 18 miles for that $10 which comes out to about $.56 per mile. So at the end of the day, what do you make with those trips is going back into your tank, and out of your pocket, and left with peanuts. So that’s why I say you have to have a decent hybrid that is actually completely paid for, to come out ahead.
I have a theory your recent acceptance rate matters. If you are accepting every order doordash could want to keep your ball rolling so you don't have to wait long for another. I noticed this on Uber eats when I would always get an order right after my last but if I deny one I could get a drought. This could be the case for doordash too.
I agree and they seek In a lowball in on you when your in the groove lol
You might be right. I find as I just finish giving the order as I go back to my car I have another one. My shifts are always like this. It’s like I don’t get a second without a order to come in.
I find this to be true. If I start off the night excepting the first offer and continue on I get offer after offer once completed. But as soon as I deny one or two it goes dark for a while
How I do it you need to be be down the street in a staring line than order your food always work for me
Interesting, might try this
When I was choosy and my rating was down I got good orders since my rate has gone from 35 to 60% I’ve been getting a bunch of bullshit orders . 2.50 - 5.00 .
sounds like a broken crooked system
Unfortunately. All of this data you collected showed a variant of pennies and luck of the draw. Yes you are “prioritized” for better offers. But at the end I can get that same order in your market before you if I happened to be closer to that restaurant
Same thing happens with Uber.
in my area the highest paid order ive seen with DD is like 4.50 lol
"DoorDash doesn't like to give orders to sedentary drivers". OK so I thought I would test this theory today. I paused my dash so I could refuel. The gas station just happened to be across the street from a Chick Fil A! Cool! So, I fueled up and resumed my dash and just sat there. In less than 5 minutes I got an order to go to Chick Fil A.
I wonder if some of the tips and tricks Dashers post to RUclips are market dependent?
Anyway, happy Dashing guys!
Yes, all tips and tricks are market dependent lol
I was sitting in the Taco Bell parking lot last night since my previous trip had taken me back to the area. Received 2 Taco Bell orders within a couple of minutes. I'm not a TD.
I wouldn't listen to this lol you definitely get a good amount of orders while parked and my acceptance rate stays around 5-20 percent 😂
Some of these observations I find to be inaccurate atleast in relation to the area I’m in
Yeah not taking an order 26 mile out of my zone or out of my area that I want to dash in lmao. Or going 16 miles for 6 $
I notice a difference between 20-40% AR, for me, already
he's better because he's cheaper for doordash; he's willing to waste more gas and car repairs...
Here’s another thought, maybe the DD system could see that an order came from a customer that lives at the same address as you. Maybe that’s why you didn’t get it.
I’ve gotten orders for my wife before so I don’t think that’s it
@@Moore.Driven ah ok!
Its not the acceptance rate that he has, it's that you are closer and the order was just put they give the order to a farther away driver, I have noticed that with big tipping orders also, I can be dropping off an order and I get an order for the same expensive restaurant even if I'm 5 miles away. When I get to the restaurant many dashers in the parking lot waiting for orders and I show up and get the order lol
Didn't create a change for me. I still average 6$ most no tip to 3 bucks. I have noticed whether the customer tips or not adjusts the base pay.
That may be true but also do you even get orders in your apartment complex. What I notice is that I rarely get orders in my neighborhood. I have no idea if doordash specifically doesn't show u the doordash orders in your neighborhood unless your are the only dasher that can do this order. SO I see where you are going with the person having a higher acceptance rate but if I'm noticing I never get orders in my neighborhood often, then this experiment is invalid. I think a real test would be having a friend order food, see if you can get the order, if you get the order then either it doesn't matter, or it does. If another dasher gets the order, then ask that dasher to see what the rate is to determine it the rate does matter
There is a lot of magical thinking going on here.
I get mad orders while being sedentary... Plus my acceptance rate is a stunning 17%... Only matters if your top Dasher... Other variables factor too like market, time of month, ect...
Interesting, must be different in other markets! Thanks for sharing!
@@Moore.Driven yeah bro... I'm pretty sure it makes a difference overall... But yeah the market in Paducah Kentucky is different then Atlanta Ga...
I think another factor that comes into play to who the order gets sent to which Dasher first is the length of time the order takes to make and the time the Dasher is away. Since you were so close, I think, DoorDash didn't want you to wait longer than 5 or 10 mins to grab the order and then deliver it. The order will probably get around to you if enough Dashers decline it.
Interesting, that could definitely be a factor
That makes since
This has not been my experience, as a dasher w/ a high acceptance rate, I get orders earlier in the clock and wait 8-10 min. routinely as it starts getting busy.
I would add that there could be other factors to this. How long you were active before the order came in? Did you get any other orders before/after that?
If I could guess I would assume that DD would have a queue that someone who has not gotten an order in a while may get first dibs.
Also you are single point in a data set and there are so many other variables.
I routinely get orders from the most sought after merchants during a Fri./Sat. dinner rush and see cherry pickers camped outside waiting.
I had a banger order tonight. I got paid $11 to do a Zaxby's order six miles out to the country and then the guy hands me a $20 cash tip🤑
Also had what I thought was a $6.50 order at Krystal and it went up additional $6 to $12.50. What an awesome night!
Further away from the restaurant but probably closer to the drop off, which they truly often do.
He was actually further from the drop off as well
They don't want you to dash your own order.
Could be, I mean I’ve done it before so idk why this time was different
Hi Blake, I'm still thinking that you could be right, but I sometimes still get low ball orders. I have a 4.94 rating
35% acceptance
100 % completion
93% On time
965 delivers....tell me what you think and I'll test it out here in Fayetteville, NC
I’m going to try this test next week at the start of the year. Right now my acceptance rate is 50%. I will upload videos on my RUclips channel, My journey to become top dasher
I cherry pick UE and GH and easily get 35-40 an hour.
If you let offers expire instead of declining them, they don‘t affect your acceptance rating. You can artificially raise acceptance rate by letting bad offers expire. Support agent tipped me off to this when I asked if they would stop sending me Macy‘s shopping orders. She said let them expire so they don‘t negatively impact my acceptance rate. I started doing this and my acceptance rate went up.
It actually does unfortunately… I’ve tested that:/
@@Moore.Driven Now they send the offers to you over and over again sometimes as well.
That's false unfortunately. Even if you let the orders expire, it will affect your acceptance rate.
@@jollyjames30
You are correct
I was at 56%
let 4 expire.... rating went to 54%
that's cap
@Moore Finance I was told by multiple DD Support people that Orders are given out in a line order.. every dasher is in a line to get orders once you get one you go to the back of the line and that only changes if the person next in line to get a order is miles away from the restaurant.
The vast majority of customer service agents don't know jack shit but what their handful of tools tell them. There might be a line, but there are a number of factors which will push you up, back or off the line completely. I assure you, t's not an even playing field for everyone all the time like that.
Would you have been a better candidate? They look at your acceptance rate and question if you’ll actually accept. They look at his and know he’ll accept which equals better service for the person who ordered no?
That’s my point exactly, that acceptance rate does matter
@@Moore.Driven pretty ridiculous imo
On another note i dont go for acceptance and i have had good orders that have came through when i definitely was not the closest to the restaurant. Really dont think acceptance matters much. Maybe active time?
This makes me curious but terrifies me lol... ive had a few bad shifts lately and its NOT making me want to bring my AR up... im already pretty easy going. Did a 9 dollar order for 13 miles lol. And my acceptance rate is 54% and dropping lol.
No wait. My acceptance rate is 43% after tonight...yea...
I'm not sure if I want to do that challenge lol.
Doordash is paying our guy to tell us this bullshit lol
Doordash wants to please cheap people by subsidizing their cheapness through the generosity of others. Smart. But pass. Anyone who wants anything from me has to pay me adequate money. That includes both the customer and doordash.
I have a theory they also try to give orders to drivers that have made less $ per hour, maybe a 20$/hr threshold in my area. Seems like once I make more even if it's busy I notice other drivers getting orders first
I never make less than 26 an hr.. my acceptance rate is 20% ish. I’ll have take a 4 or 5 dollar order.
Great vid
Thanks!
No tip no delivery its that simple
I think, at the end of the day, there is no clear difference in revenue between cherry pickers and others. If you are in a super busy market with lots of great orders, acceptance rate won't matter at all.
I totally agree, it doesn’t necessarily have an effect on overall pay. I think it just effects quality of orders
