Hi I would love some advice for scheduling a dash in different state. I’m visiting my family but I want to schedule for the following week for when I get home. My area always fills up quickly and you have to schedule or you won’t be able to dash. Also since I’ve been out of town, I won’t qualify for top dasher because obviously I haven’t done 100 orders for the month. Any idea what I can do…???
I just started dashing a few days ago and I accept all orders. I’ve worked north of Pittsburgh in Monaca and was making about $30/hr. I’ve seen 2 runs for $20+ most my runs are minimum $7 my $20+ orders had customer tips of $13 and $16 with base of $5 and peak of $3 and $4 base pay.
Here's one for ya. I took a dash for a customer that ordered food, deserts, and a shake from a franchise burger place. They had to substitute the desert due to stocking issues, which the customer was fine with. The shake machine was down as well, so I informed the customer which was fine with it. I felt lead to bless the customer with the same flavor of shake from the restaurant's competitor without telling the customer. At drop-off (no-contact), I sent a pic of her order with the shake in front. At completion, I received a $15 tip. I sent a txt to her explaining the shake, then bumped the tip to $30. Customer service is key to the business!
Wow good advice
Ok, that's pretty damn strong CS skills. Nice job.
So… u paid for the shake out of your own pocket ?
Yes it is😊
My biggest order over the 2 weeks was $65 for a 2 stack order about 8 miles total. But I’ve been getting a lot of $25 under 1 mile. I don’t cherry pick my orders as much as I do my area. I’ve found 2 spots that really work for me for about 2 hours a day. I found a nice zone hopping spot that keeps sending me back and forth with high paying orders. I found a really good breakfast spot that’s good for 4 hours on certain mornings. And biggest thing I’ve done is make friends with the merchants. you want to get in and out of restaurants fast, make sure you show gratitude to the people in control of your time.
Damn! Good for you! I’ve never seen orders like this, what’s your acceptance rate like?
In the beginning I was getting orders one after another and now all of a sudden I can go 15/20 minutes and get nothing it’s becoming very discouraging
I get pretty decent tips almost regularly. I think just one time I didn't get a tip but I've been doing this for over a year and that was the only time. Last weekend I got a $20 tip which was very nice! I then got the same person and again $15. Also on two occasions I got a bonus $20 in person with two different people all because they really liked the communication I give. The one was like , I never ever had someone do what you did with keeping me updated and communicating. I am also in Pittsburgh and I love dashing in the GT/ ML area. Once you know all the roads. I feel that really helps with the navigation and faster delivery. My rating is at 4.98, 100 percent completion rate, 97 percent early and my acceptance is a bit lower at 49... I still get those stupid orders and doing this a year now I know when it's just an absolute no lol I really enjoy your videos and so agree with you! Communication and going that extra mile for your customer really makes a difference.
Thank you so much for your videos. I just started dashing on 2/20 and have gone four days in a row. Monday through Thursday. I’m improving every day and these tips really help. I live in a small town and there isn’t peak pay that I’ve noticed.

@@johnengelsen2506 After a week and a half dashing, I now see peak pay in my area.
To be successful you need to plan where to drive, when to drive, and what restaurants to deliver for. Stay away from the hoods and stay in the wealthy neighborhoods, deliver actual restaurant food and skip the fast food junk, and figuring out what times are the best times to deliver in your area.
I'm on the west coast and peak pay is only in the middle of the nite and and in 2 weeks I've only done 15 orders each one one paying a base pay of 2.00. what part of FL are you in? Is this the same for you? Also is there a certain time to schedule hours? Sometimes I go out and can't get in to dash. Thanks
I've never seen challenges & this is the first time I'm hearing about it.
I'm a top dasher in Chicago and my average highest paying order is right around $13-14. My highest paid order was when peak pay was once $10 and got a $22. Doordash rarely gives peak pay anymore out here probably because there's so many drivers.
I'm usually hang around Lombard oak brook and make money just fine. Too scared to go into Chicago
that is really bad!
I am in Birmingham Alabama and I get peak pay and it's 14 to 23
Sookie northbrook niles, evanston is no good caus of cheap students
The only problem with doordash when you deliver something 4+ miles, and they want you to come back to your zone, it make no sense. That why I can't just do doordash, uber is the best in nyc.
Truth. I hate that.
When I go far out of the zone I just end dash and start another going back to my zone. It will give me orders along the way
When I used to do this, I would go offline and when back in, go back on
@@ahefner33 I just hate how it resets my earnings total. I hate how it shows per trip. Like just do what Uber does, show me what I’ve earned for the day. I don’t know why it annoys me so much but it does.
@August D it doesnt do that anymore? Wow. Must have changed alot since 2020. Only problem I had then was hiding tips and always giving me the same price per order order
Hi Mike
Thanks for your videos on providing tips for the gig hustle.
Very good video, we need more like this, especially exploring different locations in depth. I’m in the Chicago burbs and have been dashing 2 months. Typical order is $4-$6, and we try to hit $1/mile. We could never do $2 or $3 per mile and ever accept anything. They just don’t exist.
Yes in my area had to go from $2 per mile to $1.50 per mile.
Same. In my area I watched a video saying don’t accept anything less than $2.00 a mile. I signed up for the app and started getting orders. I rejected any order that wasn’t at least $2.00 a mile. This lead me to rejecting “all” of my orders. Door dash sent me a message saying they weren’t going to send me anymore orders since I rejected every order which in turn, this also made my acceptance rate really low. Waiting for that order that was more than $1.00 per mile just never came. Anyways they gave me another chance. I now have a high acceptance rate but still no orders more than $1.00 a mile.
I live in nw Indiana.. and it's hard..most of the time.. Near IMPOSSIBLE to get $1 per mile...
Exactly!!! I started door dashing after my husband passed away. I'm lucky to make 70 cents a mile. I keep hearing about people getting 2 and 3 a mile and big tips with them orders. I have drove to Memphis, Germantown Bartlett Nashville and all surrounding areas just to find better paying deliveries but still have not found any over 1 dollar a mile. I work 12 -16 hrs a day and after buying gas , a pack of cigarettes and buying my little boy something to eat from Taco Bell 3 times a day I might end up with 20 bucks if I'm lucky. Some days the only way I can feed my kids is by working door dash. I wish someone would tell me where they actually pay 2 or 3 dollars a mile so I can go there and work. We actually have worked a full day, slept in the car, started working the next morning and I still cannot make enough money for it to average up to 1 dollar a mile b
Don't know how you keep up with all these apps and make videos, keep it up
In Boston area, I've been doing doordash about 1.5 years. I get a challenge like every 3-4 weeks. It's usually something like 15 deliveries for $75 extra. Last month it was a good one. It was 25 deliveries for $200 extra. The peak pay ranges anywhere from $1.50 to $6.50. The $6.50 isn't in Boston proper but right outside. Usually where I'm willing to drive, the peak pay is $3.00-3.50
Where do you drive? I hate driving in Boston because parking is awful. I usually have a lot of success in Newton/Wellesley area.
Wow..I haven't had a challenge in months
I have never got a challenge before and I been dashing for 3 years how do you get challenges?
@@Lamar4mvp8 I can't do anything to trigger a challenge--they are just offered in the app (and also will get a text and email too that says what challenge is being offered). What city/area do you live in?
@@Lamar4mvp8 It depends on the area. Been doing this since 2019, not once have I seen a challenge in 3 different markets.
Thanks for sharing Happy Sunday👍
Thank you...Im a new dasher and I now realize going out of my area where no restaurants are located has played a big part in time waisted management....
Just got an $11 order while watching this video, it's already working 😁
Where I live, I stay within a zone, not necessarily near a "hotspot" but near the two restaurants that get enough orders for me to make a small bag. I do practice the dollars to mile ration, and I do try to only dash if I'm going to the area for something else as well. My avg is $9, 3 miles. I decline the $3.25, 12 mile orders ALL day!
I started a week ago and my first delivery was for $17. A $5 peak pay was active. Had I known a $5 peak pay was uncommon I would have done longer. I only did the one delivery that day because I did it after my job and it was getting late. Plus I was new and a little nervous about it. Haven’t seen peak pay that high since
In my area I've only seen it $5 or higher because of bad weather. There also is a dramatic increase in delay between orders as the peak pay goes up.
I have had $5 peak pay, but the customer stiffs you with a 50 cent tip.i was seeing $7.50 for an arbys order, figured it would be like $11 after tip, and after driving, waiting for the food, and driving back to restaurant area, i made $7.50 for 20-25 minutes. In my area, you can usually get $23/hr, and driving an EV, fuel costs are almost nil.
I've noticed that in my area sparingly, but generally speaking, those times have fewer orders. The zone even turns gray for me bc now there are a lot of Dashers.
Nice video! Things are so different here in the UK 😅
This was a good one for me, it helps me build a better model of how the pay works and how to get the best average based on the variables you mentioned that are somewhat unique to doordash. Like I said before I deliver pizzas from a fixed store and a fixed delivery area which is much different. But yeah I think this makes a real good picture for me man thanks a lot my brother ✊
I had a $32 order once, and $23 both from BJs so now i always try and shop around those
I’ve seen challenges, X amount of deliveries in a certain amount of time = X amount of dollar pay. My first weekend delivery was a challenge and I’ve seen it about 3-4 times in 6 months
I just found your channel today and made $30/hour tonight for the first time based on your advice and videos. Thank you! Suburban Chicago market FYI
I make the most per hour by avoiding the hot spots (where every other dasher is headed to) and being around the fast food joints outside of the main shopping/eating areas on the outer parts of my city. I get stacked orders nearly all the time. I'm not gonna deal with downtown traffic to sit in a Chick Fil-A line for 30 minutes for a $8 order even if it's going 1 mile.
Last time i saw bonus peak pay in my area was back in November and a few sprinkled during December.
Currently they have none. Im in the Orlando Florida area.
In my area $3/$4 peak pays are in areas where parking is impossible and jammed with stop go traffic
My best was in 2021, it was a catering order for dd, 2 miles for $45
I get lots of interesting orders from UE but not DD. Interesting meaning super low paying and super high paying. All over the map with UE. I will never figure out how they base their pay.
On a mother topic I love ❤️ your videos. I like the information but I love the colors of your walls. Great look!
Got batch of 9 short orders for $65 recently it was pretty lit 🔥
So in my area, Doordash doesn't offer peek pay during their dinner rush when I'm most commonly driving. They have peek pay usually from 1130pm to like 230am or something like that. The problem is that really, there's just not that many orders during that time. Or maybe there's just too many Dashers on the road. So when I'm Dashing from 4pm-12am, I'm usually just getting base pay and tips. And honestly the people using Doordash in my area 9.5/10 they just don't tip well, or at all! Uber on the other hand, they tip really really well, BUT there just isn't enough demand to pay the bills for me, so I have to rely on Doordash for the quantity of work. I still manage to make about 20/ hour most nights between 5 and 20, but I often find myself accepting orders I don't want just to get paid!
I wonder if we are in the same area. For New Years they offered peak pay from 5 AM to 7 AM so I got started at 4:45 AM. Oh my God all of the orders were for different counties. None were for less than 10 miles away. I didn’t want to drive 10 miles in the dark and rain.
Same. Peak pay only overnight
Same here, my zone is so saturated with drivers now that you can’t get on the schedule if you aren’t scheduling at least 5 days in advance. The map will say it’s not busy enough to dash ALL DAY besides 12-2, 5-8 and nights are hit and miss. But when you go online there’s tons of orders available, which means there’s a lot of drivers online even for the amount of orders we get here. Meaning there’s almost never any peak pay because there’s almost always more than enough drivers online. There is no real way to “get bigger orders” on DoorDash besides getting in the large order / catering program. Really surprised he missed the only legitimate piece of advice on how to get bigger/higher paying orders. If you’re not in those programs you can’t get any orders where the total is over $100, which are the ones that usually have really good tips. Once I got in that program I started getting around 1-2 $20+ tips every day, there’s almost always a business ordering food for their employees around 11am. I delivered a $1000+ catering order around Christmas and got over a $100 tip
Peak pay is on when there aren’t many dashers on the road.
This is how CT is it sucks
On Saturday I had gone about an hour away from where I live with a friend to do some shopping. And just out of curiosity I brought up my Uber eats app. And the first six orders that came over were $20+. So I am really curious so I am going to go there this weekend and see if I can either do DoorDash or Uber eats deliveries. And hopefully it works out.
I had a challenge when I joined before Christmas. I couldn’t complete it due to being on vacation. it was an extra $200 when I finish 20 orders. Wish I could’ve done it 😅
I've been dashing for about a month now, and I live in what I think of as a "Spider Web" area. It's a small town, so all the businesses are together in the middle, and the homes are on the outside. It's essentially impossible to finish a delivery and still be near a hot spot, so I'm always driving to the center and then out to the edge, back to the center and out to the edge. I have gotten 14 dollar orders, and they're from people at the edge of town who tip 12 bucks to make sure a driver is willing to go out there. My rule of thumb is if the dollars are double the miles to drive, it's a fair delivery.
I too have been dashing for just over a month. Where I live there are quire a few areas that match your 'spider web' description pretty accurately. At first I was accepting orders that were averaging out $1/mile, and somehow keeping my income at or slightly above $20/hr, but now I'm seeking at least $2/mile. I like that you got $14 tips for driving out to the edge of the spider web, I have managed three tips of $10 now but most are in the $2-4 range.
I use Uber surge when driving for Uber Eats. Easily get 20-30 dollar short runs but didn’t know how to do much on dash other than wait for 3 dollar peak pay which isn’t as exciting as surge. Thanks for the dash info Mike. Continuing to test out dash as a side hustle to my side hustle lol😅
Uber surge on Uber Eats. I don't think we have that in Tampa. Can you explain more please? I know surge on Uber rides but I not recognized it on Uber eats.
@@tellmestraight I driver Uberx and Uber eats. It uses the same driver app. So I see the same surges and just select if I want to do eats, x or both
@@pennystupidIO run them both until recently Uber just removed Eats from my preferences. I saw some bonuses and Quests with UBER Eats but never surge. I have done 6,000 Eats trips and 3,200 Uber Rides. What market are you in? I am in Tampa Bay Florida.
@@tellmestraight I am in Phoenix. Are you saying in your Uber driver app you can no longer check the delivery option? They took away your option to drive for eats?
@@pennystupid Yes despite 5,000 trips and no problems Eats just disappeared as a preference option. My acceptance rate is about 25% on Eats and Uber rides. I think they need more UBER X drivers than they do food deliveries. But who knows. I still have Uber Connect.
Peak pay is good when its under $3. When it went to $5 there was 7+ dashers outside each store waiting and it took an hour to get a single order when it was busy an hour beforehand
Agreed. Most common peak pay is my area is $1-3, but on the night it went to $6 it was so tough to even get an order! I think I did 3 in 2 hours.
If you are a top dasher, you will get privilege over other drivers that are not.
Appreciate u Mike
There are $5 areas about 40 min drive from me and I tried it. The problem is they're really small and slow areas. Here in upstate NY it's more realistic to take your 2 - 3 mile run and be happy with your $8. At least they stack up fast. We do get a $1 - $2 in my typical area quite frequently
Yes whenever I get peak pay more then 3 bucks I get maybe 5 order the whole time in peak pay ! Agree
I’m from upstate too, what area?
We only get $1 peak pay in the middle of the night when everything is closed and there's one place they always do $5 peak pay but you go there and there's only one restaurant and you never get an order. I drove way out the way and hung out for a couple hours just out of curiosity and well, curiosity killed that cat lol
I got a double order the other night that paid over $30 total picking up from two different restaurants but delivering them to the same drop off point. That was the best order I've received since getting activated on DD almost a couple weeks ago. Now, I'm wondering if I'm getting these good orders only because of the initial Top Dasher status they gave me and am required to keep taking orders to keep my acceptance rate at the minimum level to stay a Top Dasher? I guess that would make sense to encourage new drivers to not decline too many orders. I only hope that they don't start sucking really bad after my first month is over because Uber Eats did that after only a couple weeks delivering for them.
You know if you keep declining orders, your thing is never gonna go up but if you just look at it and it’s like two dollars for like 8 miles don’t let it decline by itself so that way your completion rate doesn’t go down I realize that because now I’m top dasher where I am and the more that you declined the lower, your thing is gonna go, but if you’re just looking up the order and be like no I don’t want this. I don’t want this four dollar one because it’s too far. And let me tell you my completion rate has not moved at all ever since I didn’t press decline because every time you declined you’re basically declined each order and then it’s thinking that you don’t want to do it’s gonna lower down your completion rate or your acceptance rate.
@@StephanieFetta Acceptance rate and completion rate are completely different. AR will show what you accept and is calculated with the all the orders you decline. That will fluctuate all the time depending on how many orders you actually accept and decline. But completion rate only shows the rate at which you complete orders, meaning from when you accept an order to dropping it off at the destination and marking it complete in the app. That's why you're not seeing your completion rate change because you're most likely finishing all orders you accept anyways. And it's stated in the policy that AR will not get you deactivated if it drops too low. But the CR will.
11 miles for 36 bucks best one 👌
Also 8.5 miles for 25 bucks
27.50 for 7 miles.
Peak pay is rare in my area 2 is max but typically 1 and only for graveyard shift so like 1am to 5am time-frame
I need to work on the numbers a little more because I'm sure you would be interested in 3 different delivery areas around where I am in Northern California. It's like Dasher Locks and The 3 Delivery Zones and a weekly pay can be anywhere from $100 a week to $1450 a week.
Average Order in my area is 3-7 miles for $7-$12. Best I’ve ever had was 4.8 miles for $17.50.
I do a lot of alcohol delivery which pays good ex total wine 2 items s&d 5 miles $14.50
I'm in R.I. My average high order is around $13, but my highest was $43. It was four deliveries in one order.
I dashed earlier today mostly all low paying orders. But when I went out later on in the evening 14 Wal Mart order from the house. Then again I live not far from 7 restaurants wal mart and a grocery store
1-3 peak pay on Raleigh-Durham triangle area
I live in central Illinois. And started in March. My first and only challenge so far was make 15 deliveries in like 3 days and get $300. And I did make it
It doesn't happen very often but $10 tippers are so cool. I typically wait in my car until they open their door just to thank them.
Me to! $5-$10 THANK YOU 😊
One time I did a huge grocery shop and deliver and got a $50 tip.
Highest tip ever was 4 cases of wine worth $3000 to a mansion $134 tip
we recently started and we had some already had $10 orders in certain areas without the red card!! it all depends on the customers because most of the orders are from as low as $3 and NO tips to be dropped off at 10 miles out😞
Hi MIke. Love your videos. What is your DD acceptance rating? I'm so hesitant to decline the crappy orders because lowering my AR usually results in crappier orders. It's a vicious circle, no?
I have an acceptance rate of about 10% on DD and 14% on UberEats. I average at least $25 an hour, usually more during high volume hours. I've never been top dasher since I've started, but don't notice a substantial difference in order quality from then. I can reject 15 or 20 offers in the time it takes to complete a low paying delivery, though it usually doesn't take quite that long to get a good order ($12+). If for example you do two $5 deliveries, and in that time I reject 15 offers to do one $12 delivery, I've still come out ahead and probably spent less gas.
@@JasonandJasonShowyou have to be looking out for your intrest like they do. The main thing is dont unassign and be on time. Its mainly common sense. Anyone that drives 12 miles one way for 6 dollars isn't going to make any money. Screw top dasher. Top dasher with no gas or gas money.
I've gotten a $30 order b4 shop n pay took 30 min altogether. But then waited 2 hours for another one
I just did my first dash last night. I was only dashing for 3 hours from 5:30-8:30pm. Only did 8 deliveries but I was shocked when I got home and looked at earnings details. Only 3 of the 8 orders tipped. This was my own fault for accepting crap orders. I guarantee that won't be a habit I'll be repeating. My acceptance rating will just have to take a hit. I have my large touring motorcycle set up on the platform too but was in my car for the first dash. How many dashers show up on a Goldwing with an English Mastiff in a trailer tra ?iler
Really doordash is only worth taking for orders just a few miles unless the order size is extremely large($50+ subtotal). Doordash doesn’t pay any different for a 1 mile order vs a long distance order. Not only are you doing a longer distance order for the same base pay, but you are spending more time driving back to your zone and gas expenses as well.
thanks for the sales pitch
I am sure many have figured this out but i hadnt and had not seen it but i ended up with 2 pizza bags. Mc donalds bags and other large bags don't fit in regular dasher bags. But stand the pizza bag up on its side, open flap at the top and the big bags slide right in.
Thank you😊
I've been getting $6 plus for shop and pay orders B4 tip dd pay is better than tips sometimes
Average high” order in the Charlotte order is about $11 for maybe 4 miles
My typical peak pay in stl (Maryland heaights) is 2 bucks. I’ve seen as high as 5 when there is snow
Apply to deliver alcohol and get the red card orders. Liquor stores always have it ready and I never get less than $3 per mile. For red card orders, depending on the store, you can get $35+ for one shopping trip.
facts
How do you apply to deliver alcohol?
I’m new this year so I was just doing deliveries, no cash payments. I recently allowed cash but I’ve been thinking about doing shopping. Is it worth it? I’m getting about 24/hr doing dash per order and a little bit more with dash by the hour so I was going to add that In maybe
In my city we hardly ever see peak pay unless it gets busy and they are short of dashers. Then it's usually only $1. And I have never seen a challenge bonus. I never even knew they existed!
Average 8-10$ for 3-4 mile ratio. Best is 20-25$ for 10 or 11 miles in Oceanside, CA, for me at the moment. My marketplace, unfortunately, is dense with traffic, so time to complete larger orders won't get you your sweet 25 plus dollars an hour.
The most peak pay I've seen is 3.00 once it was the late night and early mornings.. usually its late nights for peak pay.
My biggest problem is houses without a clear number visible from the street. I'm thinking of getting tiny binoculars... or maybe glasses.
That is a good idea
I dont know about other areas, but here in Detroit a customer can not tip after order is paid for; unless it's in cash. I say tips are better in areas where the customers income is higher. That's not always the case but you have to know your area. That comes with trial and error.
I’m in the Detroit area and I actually have had a customer recently tip me $2.00 after I delivered!! I don’t usually get that so I was pretty shocked 😳 😂😂. And I preferred to dash or do Uber eats in the burbs!
I disagree on this.. I've made better money in the D vs in Novi. Not always, but most of the time, I do
@@amyroberson6167 gotta stick to woodward thats where all the action is!
13:11 in the transporation industry , the correct nomenclature is "deadheading".
We only get peak pay when the weather bad or late night here in Morrow GA
thanks bro❤
My average in central valley California is probably $12 per order, not counting promo pay. My highest batch was $52
Central Valley is a good place to dash. When I started in 2019, everyone was in 1 city thinking it would make them money, so I would drive to a smaller city 1/2 hour away, where hardly any Dashers were, and averaged $24-30 an hour. Worth the drive to get away from the over-saturated city everyone else was in. First time I ever accepted a dash, they immediately sent me 3 more in that same restaurant area, all were within 1.5 miles of the restaurants.
Keep the food on the passenger seat and turn on seat warmer 😎
I have just started but I have seen as high as $14 on average good ones are 7-10 depending on the miles. noticed a lot of the higher paying ones were I am come with a lot of miles too.
In some cities breakfast is busy too.
I DoorDash in the villages, and we rarely ever get peak pays anymore. The very few times we do, so many Dashers come out, that you rarely ever get any orders, even when you’re on top Dasher.
North area from Tampa, I do ok.. I get between $6.50 to $12.00 order's sometimes. I only do this like 3 hours during lunch and dinner time. Long as I make $50 a day.. then my goal is set. all I really need. Gives me the ability to either stay at 60K a year or push myself to 72k a year. Being Retired Army is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! 😀😀😀😀😀
Peak pay in my area seems pointless. Usually "dash now" is disabled, and when you can dash, customers seem to know that its peak pay and tip terrible. Your getting $7.50 for a typical arbys order whether a $4 peak pay is on, or if its just standard time
In Reynoldsburg oh the average orders I get most of the time is 16-18 but I frequently get orders 25+ if your in Columbus Ohio try coming to Reynoldsburg specifically 256 by the noodles & company Yw in advance
I live in citrus county in Florida, and the most peak pay I've seen is 2 dollars.
My area must be over saturated 😮💨 my average order is only ever $5-$9 total not including promotion. During promotion periods it actually drops to $3-$5 which is insane to me. My highest order after two months of consistently doordashing in a collage town is $17 one time 😂
Hi. Question: how to deal with incoming orders while you're taking care of your orders. I have so many missed ones cause I'm driving.
Here in Corpus Christi peak is $1-2$.
In the outlying areas south and west of Corpus, I've seen $5 peak pay on the map.
That's a clue...
I’m brand new so I’ve been taking 1.40 -1.60 per mile to get my acceptance rate up there. Only been seeing $1 bonus here but it’s rural.
hey mike is there a big diference between top dasher and diamond dasher
Here in rural Tennessee, about 75% of your orders will take you out of your zone. People are a lot more spaced out.
Same in WI. They need to make the space bigger.
Imo the strategy for these spaced out zones with long drives is to multi-app, if possible for your area, and try to get your orders heading in the same direction. It is just as efficient to have two pick ups in place A and two drop offs in place B as it is to have one drop off and one pick up at each location. When I'm heading back to the restaurants from out of zone, I'm trying to get good orders on both apps that go in the same direction. I also usually identify which direction out of zone is best for me. For example my current location it is best to pick up orders going west, because it increases my likelihood of being able to get another on the other app also going west.
And they do not want to tip.
Just completed my first DD orders today! Does anyone have any advice on whether to Earn per order, or Earn by time?
Dont be so quick to decline 9-10 mile orders. Got a 19$ tip for 27$ total for 45 minutes. Absolutely worth it.
Because you got one in a year it doesn’t mean its like that all the time because 99,9% its not
in san diego i haven't seen any peak since the pandemic rush
All the gig apps are trash these days. About 6 months ago I went back to the daily grind of a 9-5 and honestly it’s a lot more reassuring knowing I’m getting paid consistently. These are good for weekends but trying to do it full time just isn’t possible imo
i live in central Washington in a small market, that is highly saturated with drivers, and i would say the highest pay ive seen here is about 13 dollars
Is there a way to know where the delivery is goi going beforehand.
Blessings Mike
come to Pontiac Michigan and be prepared get tips 20% of the time or less lmao.
6.50 for 2 miles. I can run 4 or 5 of those an hour all day long usually out of Chick-fil-A.
My area Seattle is super slow. Max $65 for 8 hours
I'm in central Illinois and my large average is about $10-12
I was dashing on a Sunday night in Carrollton, TX @ 8PM and the peak pay was only an extra dollar. Carrollton is a big suburban market with lots of customers and plenty of restaurants. DoorDash can be incredibly stingy with the bonus pay!
Hey neighbor...small world. I dash in Carrollton too!
In Gastonia nc the average I’ve seen is $1…..and it’s mostly after 1130 pm… highest I’ve seen so far is $2 but I’ve only been doing it about a month tho
This is only my second day dashing. My time was up in a minute of cutting off when my phone pinged. I had told my daughter i was on my way home before this happened. I looked at the order and couldnt pass it up. It was an $18 order where i actually got paid $18.99 sfterwards. We live in the Northern Ga mountains where food apps are just coming in to play. Our demographic are is small but spread out so car miles are a bit more than the larger cities. Is this the reason for higher paid orders? My base pay plus peak pay was $9.49 with a 9.50 tip. With few dashers in this area is that just an incentive for dashing. With 5 orders in two days which is only a side job after my main job i earned $68.13. This is with my ability to earn in 3 different cities from 2 zones.
By the way im enjoying it thus far!
So there are two official areas I dash in. One is slow with high peak pay and the other is busy at times with little to no peak pay as it is saturated with dashers.
My chances of making more money are in the area with more orders and restaurants of course.
Also the peak pay is 1 to 2 bucks here and it feels like they lower the base pay to even it out so the offers don’t seem any different.
Unfortunately bonus pay is not something I can use to my advantage because of this. Like you said, depends on the market place. I come from base pay and tips only but luckily I often see great tips when it is busy. I had a night where I made eighty bucks in three hours last week then it died out. For this area that’s great. If you live here it HAS to just be a side hustle though. You’d go broke otherwise
