TOP DASHER or CHERRY PICKER?! (which doordash strategy makes more money?)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 окт 2024
- In this video I cherry pick orders and only accept ones that I normally would in order to see if I can make more money doordashing than when I had a 70% acceptance rate like a top dasher or even when I accepted every order.

Dude, thanks for testing the waters for us newbies. It’s a great help. Saves us a lot of wasted time, gas, wear n tear on our cars and energy. I appreciate what you’re doing.
I like what you said about having a steady workflow of orders. I noticed that you accepted some orders that I usually wouldn't, so I'm gonna try taking some of those tomorrow and seeing how it goes!
Do it man! Hope it works out well for you!✊🏻
In a more populated market, you can essentially dash all day even if you're not a top Dasher or even scheduled to dash.
I can see why it's benificial to be a Top Dasher in your market.
Just got catch it when it's on Pink if u know what I mean lol 11%AR
Or you can use a macro recorder application and record yourself picking up a dash, either by scheduling the first available for your zone or by “dash now” then add a refresh swipe to refresh the app. Then you can play this macro back by speeding up the recorded macro (I.e 5x speed) and have it repeat itself In infinite loops. This script will continuously tap-tap-refresh-tap-tap-refresh very rapidly in the correct sequence and screen locations. As soon as your zone turns red or a shift is available, this application quickly snags this block, without you even looking at your phone and in the same room . This is faster that a competing dasher would be able to beat you to picking up a dash, giving you an nice edge, and a high probability you will get on shift in under 20 minutes
I used Bluestacks’ macro recorder found in its gaming control features. Basically, I took the same concept of using this feature to automate or emulate complex gaming control moves that can be made with just one keystroke, and applied it to scheduling in the Dasher app. I realized quickly this eliminated the need for Top Dasher or early access to scheduling. I could have single digit acceptance and still work when I want!!

I started cherry-picking a week ago and my earnings went from 500 to 600 a week to 1100 a week
How much do you do doordash every day?
That’s so cap
That’s bull crap
Y’all sayin he lying but if he’s in a dense area working 60 hrs a week it’s doable
Same, I used to make like 13 dollars an hour before I had stricter criteria for the orders I accept. Most of the time I average about 20-25 an hour on a normal day, slower days it's still usually about 18 an hour.
$ per mile is the most important metric in my opinion. Thanks for covering that.
Oh no poor Scout! I hope he’s ok! Thank you for doing all these videos. It really helps me in Indianapolis! 👍🏻
He is! Thanks for your concern! Glad I can help:)
This was great info. I do wish you had compared the mileage for each of the challenges. Maybe even the active dash time as well
Great idea! I’ll throw that in next time!
Cherry picking and I average 27 to 35 on a regular basis. I'll take those 6, 7, and 8 dollars all day as long as the mileage is low. I can turn 4 easily in an hour, sometimes 5 orders. Its not always about picking up the high dollar orders.
EXACTLY!! A $6 order going 2 miles from a decent restaurant could be better than a $10 ride going 12 miles from a bad restaurant.
This part. Can't get caught up on the $ amount only. I used to only do $10 and up and I always hit at least $150 in a 7 hour period.
However, now I do that, and I also take short distance 6,7, 8 and 9s and sometimes it plays out to where you're doing 3-4 of these in an hour, sometimes 5 if you get lucky and there all ready and short drives. Combine that with the high orders and I don't see how anyone doesn't get $200 out of a 8-10 hours a day.
I’ll be honest . I’ve been top dasher for over a year now . But I’m starting to do what you do . I think everyone has to find their own groove . As long as you make money & not loose it . Some days are better than others . With gas prices , drive time & traffic .
From my experience you want to keep your acceptance a little over 50%, the reason being because you get access to scheduling at 3pm rather than midnight. This gives you access to an all day shift if you wish to do so. Another thing is that you also get priority on orders which isn’t a lot but it’s something.
You are killing it with the numbers and the truth of costs and expenses...keep doing what you do my man.
Thanks!
Is it just me or after 3+ declines in a day it will start "looking for orders" for very long periods? Like hidden penalizing
I get this all the time ! 45min to 1 hour wait before the next $2.50 order pops up smh
@@betosgarage yeah I'm hip to it now. they put you in "tiers". if you accept the 1st 1 or 2 crappy orders you can move up
@@cvckidstv2532 I noticed that too , sometimes its Realy hard to accept the 2.50 order
That's when I go on another app until they get to their panties out of a wad
Yo i got 1 order in a half hour, I don't go over five miles, I'll won't take anything 6.50
When I first started dashing I was legit making 30$ an hour. Mostly because many of the orders I accepted were tipping me heavily.
Yeah, my first month I was getting a lot more of the good tips, then it started dwindling. I was making $36 an hour consistently for about 6 weeks, now it's like $24.
The moment you mentioned your dog. I stopped caring about everything else
I appreciate that!
@@Moore.Driven
Youre very welcome.
Dogs are part of the family
I still average about 33-37 bucks an hour in my area. Granted I live in a nice suburb area where the tips are plentiful got $120 once and this is not my normal full-time job but I don't accept Walmart orders or things that I have to shop for i cherry pick and rarely do I ever take anything under $6. It might seem shitty waiting for good orders but I usually am doing something else because I'm so close to my home or I'm watching a video on investing or something. The reason they give us crappy orders is because people accept the crappy orders.
Yup, and i think once they see that someone is willing to accept crappy orders, or they are willing to drive either long distances or go to shitty areas in town, they start giving more of those orders to you. I take one order that seems to pay well but it takes me out to Falcon (co) so like a 8 minute additional drive, then suddenly I'm getting almost nothing but those. And when I take one order that's like $4 (I almost NEVER take those but I'll see them literally go across the street sometimes so why not) then that's when it starts giving me all of the low tip no tip ho trash.
OH WOW, that is odd. If I can muscle it. I'm going to try it one day. I will start looking into taking more 5 dollar orders. I usually don't but like you said, it's better than waiting. Especially since I'm not a Top Dasher anymore either. ,
ruclips.net/video/iJBekWwbBQQ/видео.html
My acceptance rate stays around 5-10% and I average around $20 a hour
I thought they shadow ban you if your acceptance rate is below 70%?
nope they don't.
@@brickz835 noo acceptance rate doesn’t matter!! it sucks how DD doesn’t make this super clear to people
My acceptance stays around 15 and I average 28 an hour
@@richellecolon2009 me too!
Doordash don't need a big city, don't even need a small town, just take care One street (one business district street) repeatedly. Accept the money bigger than the miles they offer you only. Like, $8 (2.5- 6 mile)
And come back to your spot. Do not traveling.
I would’ve rejected most ones u accepted 😆…It’s $2 per mile for me unless it’s slow . My standards r very height
So we know that u probably don’t have a high school diploma
If you would’ve watched the video he said it was slow and he doesn’t like waiting
That’s right!!! He is crazy!! Waist of time and gas!
@@shoddyshores877 it takes one to know one
@@shoddyshores877 that’s not an excuse doing twice the work for less money
I wonder if there is Dasher favoritism even among Top Dashers. The months I achieved TD my orders were the same if not worse than my normal orders, which ultimately lead me to lose TD as my acceptance rate slipped to below 50% my last month as a TD because of how awful the orders were. I Would sit outside of popular spots, be a TD with very high customer rating, and 100% completion rate, and see other Dashers, who were not parked there get orders for the restaurant I was parked in front of while I continued to wait. I don't understand the DD system or how to make it consistently work for me.
I used to AVERAGE $31 an hour for Fri-Sun, and that was before the pandemic.
Nice!
Thank you so much dravon.tools for the sincere and fast work you did for me I really appreciate your good work and generosity
That camera is something for movies dude holy hell! Great Vid!
I'm a diamond status and did 2,784 deliverys since December 2020, I'm happy n what I do even though some people might think it's not a professional job/career, but hey everybody's not perfect, I'm paying my taxes too
Great video, interesting stuff congrats on 4k subscribers, keep dashing
I just dashed for my first time tonight. And in 6 hours made $100 accepting all deliveries en route.
I wanted to revisit this video since this new trial program started up in the Memphis, TN, market. I got an email from DD where they are paying a guaranteed rate of $17 per active hour, PLUS tips. You can only decline an average of one order per hour. This means the base rate and peak pay will count, and they will prorate partial hours, like if you worked an hour and a half. So far, they have paid extra, even when the tips were great. I've stayed above $28 per TOTAL hour with this program, and have been paid anywhere from $5 to $15 extra per day. The pay shows up the next morning between 9-9:30.
That sounds pretty good actually.
@@randalltempelaar it was good, right up until they discontinued the trial. lol
I don't schedule a dash in Memphis anymore since they dropped it. If I happen to be there for an appt, then that's different. But I no longer spend the whole day there for the sole purpose of gigwork.
When my Collie mix started to have seizures I gave him homemade chicken and rice for 6 months, then switched to Human Grade Dehydrated Grain Free dog food.
Not sure if it will help, but may be worth a try if you can. My dog never had seizures after about 4 or 5 months and lived to be almost 15. The vet didn't put him on meds bec. it only happened about once a month. Good luck with your doggy. :)
Love the videos man and for a great cause!!
I Dash with my pup as well. Maybe a video on dashing with dog/care? Break video? Love taking my puppy with me and she loves the AC in her face lol.
I would like to take my cat I think..
Good on you man! I used to volunteer for NAMI, great cause!
Thanks! That’s awesome man!
Hope this helps. I been a top dasher since I started in January of this year. I started dashing because I was going to get laid off by Vons be the end of February. I tred it for a couple of week and found out that I can make a living going full time. I have been a top dasher ever since. My acceptance rate was as high as 90%. I am hovering around 75% right now. Here in San Diego, I have been putting in between 35 to 40 hours a week and make 900 tp 1100 dollars. I don't take anything less than $5. At the end of the week doordash help you out with the pay adjustment. They look at how many miles you drive and if you take low orders and compensate you for it. So, I have been earning between $24 to $27 a week. Hope this helps.
I haven't seen extra compensation for low orders. Other than the 2.50 for accepting
Your Cali Rules only apply to Cali
@@cvckidstv2532 California laws, prop 22
Top Dasher=Car bout to blowup Cherry Picker=Car running fine
After you write offs your taxes should be around 12 percent.
The algorithm is smarter than all of us... The have numerous tactics to level the field for most drivers....
Can’t change the world unless we change ourselves
Couldn’t agree more!
Nuggs does the accept every order challenge i laughed when his car went down
NO, if you accept every order doesn't mean you will get big order. If you got a big order just because you are lucky and the best driver for that order. I don't driver for doordash that much now but I have it on and still accept order like 26$ 34$ for less than 8 mile
Dude you don’t have to put that stuff on the screen, screw people if they don’t believe you. Really hoping your dog is okay!!! Amazing video as usual!!!
Sorry to hear about Scout! Hope he's going to be ok. You've definitely gotta give us an update
It’s okay! They’re genetic so it’s not to be too concerned about
@@Moore.Driven well that's definitely good that he's ok. I have 3 dogs and hate when anything medical comes up with them
Looks like you basically were doing what I do and try to stick to a little over $1 per mile on whether you accept something or not.
I can tell you this, Top Dasher is worth it for me, but not for everyone. For one, my area stays grey so much and only turns red during times when I don't usually feel like dashing (rush hour, early mornings). So being able to dash anytime I want is great. That's great also because I use the Dasher Direct card so I can start a dash with almost no gas, do an order, end dash, gas up, get back to it. Very helpful since I'm bad with money. Next, TD definitely do get more orders when it isn't busy. So when I'm dashing during my favorite times (2-pm to 5 pm), I will still be very busy whereas other dashers (I've tested it with my woman dashing with me who is not a TD) and I would get an order despite it having been less time since my last one compared to her. That's enough reason for me right there. So being able to dash any time I want to, and getting orders more when it's not supposed to be busy, makes it worth spending 2-3 days at the end of the month accepting a handful of bad orders. But during most of the month, I'm still cherry picking the whole time. And the difference in hourly pay those three days when I'm accepting almost every order is like, $4 an hour less than when I'm doing the cherry pickin.
Enjoy your videos. Hope your dog is doing better. Remember you work hard so your dog can live better
Thanks I appreciate that🙏
I appreciate another good video. On DoorDash do you accept an orders for $5 for 2 miles?
Yes!!
Okay I’ll consider it when it is slow.
I don’t drive no more than the regular food delivery driver which is 2 miles and accept no less then $7 per order for a 2 mile drive
Have you ever tried getting top dasher and using it in a small town? My population is only 16K and the amount of orders I get are inconsistent and I hardly decline any because i always get $5 peak pay so an average order is like $10 for only a couple miles but I’m not sure if having top dasher would make a significant difference in how many orders are assigned to me instead of other dashers in the area
I do not think taking orders that are $2 or $3 per mile would be cherry picking , it’s just avoiding crap orders.
I see where you’re coming from for sure!
Really sorry about your dog, watching your friend go through something like is really tough. Speaking from personal experience. But I hope he is doing a lot better :( poorbaby
Yeah it is:( he’s doing fine now! Thanks for your concerns!
Hey, first time viewer. You had me at dog and, unfortunately, seizure. My 6 year old, Minnie has had seizures since she was a puppy. It got as bad as 1-2 times per week. After some research, I only feed her gluten free dog food (no wheat) The seizures have all but stopped. Now it's 2-3 per year unless she gets into something she shouldn't have.
Interesting, my dog has about 1 a month but I’m open to trying anything to help! I’ll have to try that gluten free dog food and see if that works, thanks for the advice!
@@Moore.Driven Keep in mind that if it is a gluten issue, that includes people food. No hamburger bun, pizza crust, etc. That was a problem for us at first. I know she shouldn't have our food anyway but we'd give her a bite of this and that without thinking about what was in it. Now she's completely gluten free 🙂
I sorta cherry pick, I accept anything if the pay is double the mileage unless it’s over $20, then mileage can be 3/4 pay
Challenge - set amount of hours per week (40, 50 whatever you do but stick to the same every week.)
1st week : cherry pick not a top dasher
2nd week : accept every order except no tip orders ($3>) with 5+ miles not a top dasher
3rd week : accept every order not a top dasher
4th week : accept every order as a top dasher
5th week : accept every order except no tip orders ($3>) with 5+ miles as a top dasher
6th week : cherry pick as a top dasher
Very good idea! Imma screenshot it and might just end up doing this! Thanks!
@@Moore.Driven I look forward to the results. I feel like this is something everyone should do as everyone's market is different and it would be a good way to see what make each individual the most money in their market.
@@fursure6189 very true!
BRAVO for donating to a mental illness foundation. I clicked Subscribe immediately
Glad to hear!:)
I don’t know if you mentioned this in the video but it’s also important to note that your dashing during a much slower time compared to a couple months ago. There are less good orders coming your way. During times like these it might be best to be less picky. I know for a fact if you did this earlier this year it would be obvious that being picky for good orders is the best way.
Not the best $/mile ratio. Saw a few of your orders I wouldn't take. The key with making the best of this gig is how much you can make with the least amount of wear and tear on your vehicle. Yes, you have to drive miles to make money, but if I'm driving 80 miles, I want to make a minimum of $120.
Top Dasher makes $5-$10 an hour in my market. I only dash prime time and busy hours with an acceptance rate of 30%. I make $15-$20/hr. Top Dashers are fools. Remember "NO TIP NO TRIP!"
Little bit of advice for folks ordering doordash. If you don't tip, I let your order sit.
I tried this today, skipping low money, high mile orders. It then stopped my Dash and asked me to Schedule. I made no money to rest of the time even though I sat in my zone which was Busy.
I drove thirteen miles out to a mansion from a restaurant and they didn't even tip lol
I'm still a top dasher on Chicago with a 32% acceptance rate 😆 I guess it pays to be in a big market for that
Omg, I had a puppy that had seizures & ended up having distemper from the nasty kennel she came from & had to get out to sleep….it was a HORRIBLE experience… I’m sorry. Has he been getting them or is this new?
He’s had 3 in the 2.5 months I’ve had him!
Awesome info !!!
I have been a top dasher for over a year every month with over 2500 deliveries and ratings like 4.94, 95%, 99%, 98%, but as of this last update on 8-31 they think i am a new driver now and have lost my top dashing benefits and nobody ever said you only did 90 deliveries, so I added them up this morning and I WAS WRONG, I didnt not do 100 deliveries, which is usually easy, but the app doesn't show month to month, anyway, my bad.
I do ubereats full time I start 8am to midnight park in a shaded area close by the restaurants so I can pick the tips 1 to 2 dollars per miles ratio, some days are slow but hey thiers always another day that might get bussier n better tips just hustle n grind and mind set all I can say I'm making good money to pay my bills but still put money on the side for when I file my tax next year
8am to 12am wtf? That’s crazy.
So I can wait and pick the good tips
@@94blockmarauders07 Oh, so you wait in the house?
@@Johnnyy832 close by the restaurants in the parking lot
8-12am? Do you think you have a life?
I noticed that on peak pay it offers me an order that ranges from $11.50 to $12 but the distance say's 7 min away then midway it reroutes me and I end up going a total of 14 minutes away. So by the time I come back to the hotspot area well there's only like 15 minutes left of peak pay.
I accepted 11 out of 31 orders between breakfast and lunch today. Didn’t drive much at all for the ones I did. I live in small market so I made only 70 dollars but in my market for like 3 hrs of active dashing 70 is avf
Not bad!
@@Moore.Driven I don’t get to work dinners Sunday thru Thursday. Single dad life with my little so I have to hustle the hours when I can. My app glitches out and cost me last like 2 hrs today. Was force pausing everytime I would unpause it would pause again
I stop cherry picking so much here in tulsa , my earnings went from 700. To 1100 roughly...doing more miles however
Oh and I'm also getting more orders less down time, some of the orders are still s#$+
nice vid…you should also tell the inevitable that they can deduct 56 cents per mile for taxes…i think you should let these ppl know so they understand what is standard
How do you record the 56 cents per mile
Ok I had commented on the other video about the time of day. So it’s interesting what you found here
50% of all orders I receive pay less than $1 per mile.
Hope everyone knows to NEVER accept a $3.50 or lower pay delivery
Same
My problem now is that I can't turn it on any time I want. I was getting orders even when my area was "not busy". Now I can't even turn it on until 2pm on a Wednesday.
His dog almost died n he still started doordashin 😂 dedication
Hahaha always✊🏻😅
You're not mentioning your miles back. For example, you are saying 7 miles for $10, but you're really going 14 miles for $10. That's less than $1 per mile.
No, I can get orders in the area I’m dropping off in. I don’t need to drive back anywhere🤷♂️
I like he thinks $6 orders is crap here in Chicago lets just $6 orders are God send my friend we dont get to be picky lol
For my area I cherry pick even more than this. I don't take most of what you accept
Are you factoring in self employment tax? From what I understand we're paying closer to 35% in taxes rather than the usual 20%.
Gas is 125 in California
Thanks for showing me the calculations part to this
For sure! Gonna start doing that in all my videos! Glad I could help!
Should I dash regularly? How much money would I make ?
My acceptance rate is 73% but I am in a smaller market so orders are more decent.
At least the dog’s ticker didn’t time out right
I'm a full time dasher (9am to 4pm M-F). I cherry pick but also keep top dasher status monthly. I average between $17-$22/hour. I spend $80/week in gas. I generally do very well weekly
Nice! That’s a good way to do it!
Hey Blake, I need to ask you how to pause dashing. How do you do that? Is your dog okay?
The ? At the top right corner I do believe, then it'll be top of the 3. I do it constantly when I have stuff to do
There are 3 horizontal bars at the top left of your dashing screen, click on them and you’ll see the option to pause dash. You have 35 minutes to unpause it or doordash will end your dash completely. You can unpause and repause your dash as much as you want tho!
Yo @MooreFinance, you said that you don't have TOP DASHER status anymore, do you not have the DASH NOW feature if it's super busy in your market?
Yeah but only when it’s busy
Okay cool.
I know you probably mentioned it before, but what market are you in?
Does you car insurance company know that you DASH?? If so, how much do you pay a month in car insurance?? You need to factor that in. Enjoy your videos.
I cherry pick to a point. But same if it starts slowing up. I’ll take an $8.50 order for 8 miles. Usually I dont because that’s only a little over a dollar a mile and I generally shoot for $1.50/$2.00 a mile
So yeah same thing lol I try to keep it a steady stream.
I can’t take a $2.50 order it pisses me off. People should tip a dollar a mile seriously Some of these assholes pick a restaurant 10 miles away and don’t tip. To them I say 🖕
😂
Thanks for your videos!!
Picked a $0 tip 15-mile (not including the miles to get back....) for my very first order. My only solace was that it was a "hand directly to me" customer (was a dental assistant btw....) so I got to drop the still uncomfortably hot food in her hands :) meanwhile a high schooler tipped me $5 for 5 miles the next order.
How do you pause a dash? I don't see that option anywhere on the App?
Are we sure that DD cares about the day-to-day though? Or is it that you hit top dasher and you're considered a top dasher for the next month?
I feel like if you modified your strategy to weight miles/$ and time of store, that your profits would increase. although these method only has around a 25-45% rate. also if you know the buisness districts in town lunch can become easily profitable
12.5x gas expenses and above

Door dash made me a top dasher and i absolutely have no idea how to be honest.My ratings aren't even close to being what you need in order to be a top dasher and i don't have near as many of deliveries that you need in order to qualify for being 1. I'll take it regardless but that's weird as hell.
Did you just become a dasher?
@@Moore.Driven I just became a dasher in my area and I became a top dasher.
They probably tried to help you out and give you the option to - anytime, because you do a great job when you dash. But, like an idiot, you ran to the internet, to tell everyone. Congratulations!
The money is nice but I still struggle with putting so many miles on my car.
Yeah fs
Hello, I am new at dashing, and I have trying to find out how to PAUSE a DASH. If someone could let me know how to do this It would be great to be able to pause and get a coffee.
