@@jeremiahcohen5902 yes im new its worse than uber. UE i recently had a 2 for 44 dollar food delivery 3 miles recently. Uber eats has more of those unicorn orders.
How about they add a pay to wait feature? .25 cent per minute minimum added to the driver's offer. We're payed for the delivery only but waste our own time waiting for free. They win while we lose big-time. 😮
What I would love is the ability to ban certain restaurants you either had issues with and/or it wasn’t worth the money. I hear restaurants can block us, why can’t we block them?
McDonald's is one of the worse restaurants from my experience. You'll stand there for 5 to 10 minutes waiting for them to hand you the order, when it's been sitting on the shelf behind the counter the whole time.
That would be a problem as everybody is gonna block all the cheaper end restaurants and only keep ones that get higher paying orders. On the flip side it could help other dashers get more orders overall. Very interesting comment.
The tiered program is ridiculous since in one day they sent me 20 bad offers in a row and demoted you down to silver base on acceptance rates. This is to force you to take bad offers to not fall below the line.
In my market, it was absolutley not worth going after gold or platinum. because I did gold for 3 weeks and did not see any better offers. yet it cost me 60$ in gas to get there. like I worked all day and had to borrow money to put gas in my car. that is terrible. 2 $ pay per delivery is the single biggest issue right now with door dash, it doens't matter how many bells and whistles or programs they come out with, if the base pay is that low, it means I can only take people's order if they tip at least 4 $. I used to be able to take almost everyone's order and still make some money.
I do really enjoy dashing, but what I do not enjoy is having to cherry pick. We are out here dashing, because we need money for whatever reason, and we deserve to get orders that are not upside down.
Dashing went to hell when the Rewards program started. I was Top Dasher, Platinum Dasher, blah blah blah. Once the Rewards thing started my orders turned to utter crap. Orders started coming in after waiting for 30-45 min and even then they were $7 for 5 miles, $9 for 8 miles over and over and over. I figured I was being punished for NOT doing alcohol orders or shop and deliver. I won't do alcohol because after delivering to 2 separate DISABLED people on 3rd floor apts with NO ELEVATORS I didn't want the risk of them getting tipsy then trying to go down the stairs. Sorry kiddies, I won't assume that risk ESPECIALLY FOR A $4 DELIVERY. Once I opted out of the alcohol orders and shop and deliver my income went to crap.
Alcohol delivery pays relatively more in my area. However I did have delivery with minimal tip or even no tip (as add-on by DoorDash and couldn’t ”decline“ but only accept from a couple of days ago). I totally get what you meant delivering to disabled people. Once I was asked to bring the alcohols in to the kitchen, that’s where the only light was in the house. As a woman dasher, I was very hesitant to do that first. I eventually did what he asked, because he’s with one leg fully in cast, and it’d be very hard and unsafe to carry three bottles by himself. Mostly, because I do concealed carry when dashing. I told myself Never Ever do it again afterwards though.
I have a lot of ideas like giving the actual address for the delivery & mileage , instead of a just a map! I also wish we could turn off certain restaurants.
@@rappy90 All they have to do is increase the base pay based on the number of miles one has to drive. This would actually be easy to charge the customer this (or at least part of it - a surcharge, if you will). But they'll never do it.
@@kev7161 as long as it’s not crossing a bridge but hits $2/mile I just do it usually. Most orders go within a mile or two of more food. Forget that bridge though. I’d love a no bridges toggle. lol
Oh yeah the phantom hard brake, while parked with the engine running. Happens all the time. 😂 I guarantee that DD is making money selling this info and not even giving us a cut. ?@@mickeyc2137
we already have these features in California and have had it over a year.. So its nothing new for us.. Maybe in some States its a new feature. But I can attest to say that the shop and pay orders for me has been great with good high paying orders.. I will take shop and pay any day.. For one, you save on gas because you are making money by shopping and not driving... and two, your not sitting around at a restaurant waiting for an order to be ready which can waste a lot of time and profit.. That's just my opinion and it is a bonus for my everyday dashing.. Thanks for the great content Mike.. 💯💯💯
I've had preference since I started 😂 Also, I start my dash from before I leave my house, cuz if the order ain't worth me leaving my house, I ain't going lmao
These past two weeks I’ve noticed a trend where if I decline 2 shittier orders I don’t receive an order for like 30 - 1 hour. Is this happening to anyone else? I used to have good order flow until the beginning of october
Yes, in fact that happened to me today. At the start of my dash I declined two crappy orders and then didn't get another order for about 30 minutes. That's never happened to me before. I've been a Platinum status dasher since early this year, so I thought maybe I was protected from this happening. Apparently not...
Here too. Also, delayed GPS guidance made me missed turns a few times. Unupdated merchant address led me circling on highways. Picked orders from Sonic offered to me twice… They all occurred within past two months. I wonder if DoorDash really is making improvements to help our dashers ~
Preferences needed: Opt out of offers thst are < $2 per; apts (especially thoae with gated, swxured access); be able to rate customers or opt out of customers who are crappy tippers.
20/hour driving your own car is not good pay....its a min pay....its the flexibility people like.......but most people who do it for money end up working 50 plus hours.....this is not flexible.....its a ball and chain...
yup I did it full time for 2.5 years and when I had my old car and didnt have a car payment I was able to do it only 40 hours a week and still make great money but last year I got a new car had a car payment now and found myself having to do it 55 hours a week to cover my car payment and all my other bills and then I had to move and find a cheaper rent cause I couldnt afford everything and I was exhausted dashing all the time. I moved into a more affordable place and I got a job 7 months ago but I still don't make enouch money in this economy so I still dash about 15 hours a week but I noticed that I used average $23 an hour in 21-23 now in 24 it has gone so downhill I am now averaging about $16 an hour. If I was doing it full time $16 an hour wouldn't make it but since I am doing it very part time its helping but sometimes not really worth it
I miss the days when short videos were a good thing on TH-cam. Now they string you along for a half hour to get basic into, and "make sure to watch to the end" for the punchline. Who has time? I work in the digital sweatshop economy. Time is pennies - cut to the chase already!
GTTA get that platinum status my friend..AR% matters just accept it all and you'll get there faster that's what I did now I can dash whenever instead of scheduling
@@BraddahRob808 YEAH.... I CAN GET IN THE EVENING AFTER WORK AND WORK ALMOST EVERY NIGHT. I GET ORDERS FOR SHORT DISTANCES AT 8%... I AM NOT GONNA RAISE IT TO GET THE SAME THING
Mike I have dasher direct and just love it. All the features I’m seeing you show for Crimson is the same. There’s really no downside to it. Plus it works with my Apple Pay so if I leave the card at home, I can still pay for gas from my phone!!
I haven't dashed or sparked in a few months. It was only something to do for a while. I've been with DD for about 18 months. I compared my gasoline charges. Not dashing I spend less than $100 on gas. In my busiest months I was spending $350 to $400. Plus the wear and tear on my car. Plus commercial driving insurance cost $100 a month extra. So unless I am doing DD or spark as a main source of income not to mention the time sitting and waiting.... not worth it.
I did an alcohol delivery and the lady couldn’t find her ID. So I had to return it. DoorDash still paid me the full amount of the original fare + $11 extra dollars to return the item to the store. If it were a case a beer I would’ve kept it lol
Platinum is useless in my area because everyone is Platinum status, and soon as they do peak pay bonuses everyone jumps on and the orders immediately die because too many dashers and not enough orders, and without Platinum its nearly impossible to schedule.
yes a filter where you can set it to a max amount of items for shop and deliver and also one on weight as well. So many times I've taken orders that are big cases of bottled water or other really heavy things that are hard to me to carry
I drove for Uber 7 years at a 5.0 no lower than a 4.9 . I moved to Vegas with having to register my car new license etc I needed to make some money now. I signed up and started dashing. I took every ride before I knew it, I completed 80 trips . Giving attention to message letting me know I was close to platinum. Completing the Hundred. Now I can say. That since I turned platinum my pick ups or less slowed down. Good thing 1 Being able to Dash when you want.
Yes I've had preferences for over a month here in Columbus Indiana but most of the time I'm locked with it turned on "Due to lack of qualified dashers"
I recently had the driver preference tab added in my market. I am so happy to finally be able to turn of alcohol deliveries. In my market, there is really only 2 liquor stores to cover a pretty large market, and their tips are never enough to make the delivery worth it (always backwards offers). Every night around 10 pm the alcohol order start pinging left and right, and can kill my AR rating in just a few minutes. Now that I can turn them off, I'm probably saving 20-25 alcohol declines a week, and my AR is a little easier to keep platinum.
Preferences suck. I opted out all of the shopping, alcohol, etc. What did Door Trash do? Disabled opt out!..yes, they did. Some crap about not having enough qualified dashers... well that's bs cause my market is just as oversaturated as the next. I'm Platinum.. there is zero difference between Gold and Platinum.. your welcome i just saved you a ton of miles. This Dasher rewards tanked before it fell out the gate and yes they are shoving the card down our throats too ..no thank you. The only single positive thing I have to say is Mike great video.. informative and useful.
My problem is not AR. It is 100 deliveries/30 days. I don’t get enough offers to even get close to 100/30 days. In a scheduled 2 hour dash, I feel LUCKY to get 3 offers in 2 hours. Too many drivers in my market is part of the problem. SO FRUSTRATING!!
Believe me it’s not worth it. I took that LITTLE loss to get to the Gold tier and believe me it’s not little at all .. I kept accepting those 5$ orders driving long distances and even less than 5$ I did accept one before for just 3.75$ !!! And guess what !!! I am still not getting any of those big orders !
After all that you should have got some big orders. If there's too many high tier dashers there might not be enough good orders to go around. What's DD gonna do when everyone finds out it's not worth it.
Just checked preferences and they appear in my northern NJ market. Just turned off shop and deliver. Too many of the stores have low inventory. Done with it! Also alcohol (ALWAYS awful offers, don’t want the responsibility). I’ll see how these settings work for me. 👍
Shop and deliver has turned into crap. DD stacks the shopping orders (only one base pay), lowered their base pay and most customers are now tipping low or not at all even! I'll still do a rare occasional one, but generally I just decline.
I wish they would let you choose exactly where your comfortable deliver at. Not preset zones! Also i turned these options off however they Still send me to retail stores when im not set up for that
Not everyone has access to these options. It depends on your market. My market only allows shop a delivery Alcohol Cash delivery Pizza delivery which does not have a toggle.
I'm platinum i've been for 3 months or so it's not worth it there isn't enough good offers only reason I'm keeping it is because I can't dash without the dash now i might as well just be an employee
Top dasher now Platinum. Door Dash let me Dash anytime. Now no more in Milton Fl., can only Dash now when busy. Have gone back to schedule like when I started. With platinum rating you can schedule 6 days in advance if time is available. If not platinum, 1 day at a time. My earnings have dropped by a third. Great going Door Dash! Why go for Platinum when you take away my Dash anytime ability? Drivers in my area are quitting because of this.
Why is there a system that forces you to complete all orders even bad ones why your suppose to be a contractor. The rewards program only makes sense if you are a employee of the company.
Mike, have you heard of a new DD offer type called "Round Trip Deliveries"? Apparently you pickup the order, deliver it and the customer pays you by cash or check. Then you take the payment back to the store. You get paid for the round trip. My only question is if the customer pays more in cash than the actual amount of bill, does the driver need to provide change? I never carry cash on me. That's what debit/credit cards are for. Not sure 8f it is in all markets, but is being marketed in the Seattle area.
Yeah I just seen this pop up in my email offer. I opted in. Just going to check out what this is about. That was also a worry for me. I definitely don't like the cash option. But we will see.
In my market for the last few months, I am unable to turn off shop and pay preferences. According to the app, there are not enough qualified dashers for shop and pay so whoever is opt in, they can not opt out.
To be able to apply to the dasher relief fund for natural disasters and just in general you have to have a certain amount of deliveries to be able to apply.
But with Uber, they give you the option to just do shop orders. And with DoorDash they just give you the option to shop and deliver, but that’s also included with the food delivery..
I have been cussing out customer service everyday because i notice of the Deliveries Last of 30 Days numbers have been going down everyday so how are people EVER to 100. Last week I was at 94% two days later went down to 82% and currently it’s down to 72%. Now mind you I dash 7 days a week and accept every order I’m at 100% completion rate and Acceptance Rate 100%.
they need to be able to uncheck location deliveries simply because i cant begin to tell you about little ceazars and gettin order after order and still getting my ratings effected after i unassign from a slow location then boom another one from same location its like nothin is coming out of this place anytime soon if they wanted to fix the issues simply allow a dasher after so much time to be able to switch to EBT because or after so long add a 25 cent base pay for so much time of waitin on a order this will fix the distance drives and fix wait time on not just the dasher but for keepin up order ready at locations and data collection from certain merchants
Cash on delivery please call customer before leaving restaurant these customers be on some shady stuff get there they not available you have to carry back to store save time call customer
I hope everyone also realize that these companies have data that shows we reject low paying orders and main accept good ones. They know that already they just focus on share holder value and cutting cost.
dash delivery preferences--NOT NEW, dash rewards--DON'T decline orders, otherwise you get DROPPED to a lower tier!!! my market, SLOW small area seems there is NO difference in either tier, AND time to pick up order is SHORT and delivery time is insane close to drop off time! no matter the distance! and when restaurants are constantly SLOW, dash should step in and push the business to do a better job at filling orders so we don't have to WAIT 10 or more minutes standing in a SLOW moving line for pick up!
On Platinum and I got a violation for being 15 minutes late on highway 171 South and I want to deactivate me I'm a good dancer and they make me set hours on top of ours what do you think about that driver Mike

They need to force a face verification or finger print verification every day. There are too many people stealing accounts and using them
Or scumbags using two phones and two accounts taking up the queue in the area.
@@Silenthilldude87 I actually don't mind 2 phones. Cause it's smart to multiapp to use a separate phone for each app.
I get better offers in gold than I do in platinum.
Lynchburg VA has had Preferences for some time now.
I have dasher preferences in WA. I turned off alcohol deliveries.
Preferences suck. I opted out all of the shopping, alcohol, etc. What did Door Trash do? Disabled opt out!..yes, they did. Some crap about not having enough qualified dashers... well that's bs cause my market is just as oversaturated as the next. I'm Platinum.. there is zero difference between Gold and Platinum.. your welcome i just saved you a ton of miles. This Dasher rewards tanked before it fell out the gate and yes they are shoving the card down our throats too ..no thank you. The only single positive thing I have to say is Mike great video.. informative and useful.
But if you do 100 delivers a month you can't be gold.
You should get more pay per dasher reward plus peak pay
80% AR for Silver and Platinum in Los Angeles
70 in east coast. NH to BOston Mass.
Dude says reduce dashers, does that mean you are the first volunteer? Thank you in advance.
I don't love dashing. I need to make my ends meet so this helps me.
Yes I have Preferences here in southwest Washington state near Olympia Tacoma.
My problem is not AR. It is 100 deliveries/30 days. I don’t get enough offers to even get close to 100/30 days. In a scheduled 2 hour dash, I feel LUCKY to get 3 offers in 2 hours. Too many drivers in my market is part of the problem.
SO FRUSTRATING!!
Believe me it’s not worth it. I took that LITTLE loss to get to the Gold tier and believe me it’s not little at all .. I kept accepting those 5$ orders driving long distances and even less than 5$ I did accept one before for just 3.75$ !!!
And guess what !!! I am still not getting any of those big orders !
After all that you should have got some big orders. If there's too many high tier dashers there might not be enough good orders to go around. What's DD gonna do when everyone finds out it's not worth it.
I don't have dashlink on my preferences but my next door neighbor does have the link. How can I qualify to get that link?
Those preferences are not new. This is old stuff. Why are we talking about that?
Plat is 70% in florida
Just checked preferences and they appear in my northern NJ market. Just turned off shop and deliver. Too many of the stores have low inventory. Done with it! Also alcohol (ALWAYS awful offers, don’t want the responsibility). I’ll see how these settings work for me. 👍
Shop and deliver has turned into crap. DD stacks the shopping orders (only one base pay), lowered their base pay and most customers are now tipping low or not at all even! I'll still do a rare occasional one, but generally I just decline.
They didn't renew the contract with payfare that's why we are getting crimson
I wish they would let you choose exactly where your comfortable deliver at. Not preset zones! Also i turned these options off however they Still send me to retail stores when im not set up for that
The dasher rewards tier program sucks for partime dashers, the rolling 100 deliveries is total bs and in my area we need 80% absolutely crazy
What if you currently have dasher direct? Can you transfer your balance to crimson when it becomes available?
i have preferences however the alcohol one is grayed out. I cannot turn it off or on. we called a dozen times all to no avail. help Mike
i doordashed for the first time today and same. i took the course/questionnaire and said im good to go but it was greyed out.
That's the case with me too. I took the course and used to do alcohol deliveries, but it's been grayed out in my preferences for a while now...
Not everyone has access to these options. It depends on your market. My market only allows
shop a delivery
Alcohol
Cash delivery
Pizza delivery which does not have a toggle.
I'm platinum i've been for 3 months or so it's not worth it there isn't enough good offers only reason I'm keeping it is because I can't dash without the dash now i might as well just be an employee
Another thing: my AR was at 76%. I declined one offer and AR immediately went down to 75%. Then, I accepted 4 in a row and AR did NOT CHANGE. BS.
Yes, I have dasher preferences. I think it's a multi money making helper
Top dasher now Platinum. Door Dash let me Dash anytime. Now no more in Milton Fl., can only Dash now when busy. Have gone back to schedule like when I started. With platinum rating you can schedule 6 days in advance if time is available. If not platinum, 1 day at a time. My earnings have dropped by a third. Great going Door Dash! Why go for Platinum when you take away my Dash anytime ability? Drivers in my area are quitting because of this.
None these programs work in our favor just theirs
New Subscriber !
Welcome!
Why is there a system that forces you to complete all orders even bad ones why your suppose to be a contractor.
The rewards program only makes sense if you are a employee of the company.
Mike, have you heard of a new DD offer type called "Round Trip Deliveries"? Apparently you pickup the order, deliver it and the customer pays you by cash or check. Then you take the payment back to the store. You get paid for the round trip. My only question is if the customer pays more in cash than the actual amount of bill, does the driver need to provide change? I never carry cash on me. That's what debit/credit cards are for. Not sure 8f it is in all markets, but is being marketed in the Seattle area.
I just got an email about this today. I’m on the Phoenix area.
@CoreyBrowne-q2j Used to live in Mesa 45 years before moving to the Seattle area. Been here 9 years this month.
Yeah I just seen this pop up in my email offer. I opted in. Just going to check out what this is about. That was also a worry for me. I definitely don't like the cash option. But we will see.
@@paulamiller6073 I opted in as well, we will see!
Your Driver Mike’s hairdo reminds me of a kids superhero cartoon character.
That's bs so called flexibility but i haven't had a chance to get a schedule for 3 months now and can't dash now
Hey, the schedule usually comes out at midnight so try setting a timer that you can get the shift after midnight.
@@belief831I've tried everything then before they changed the time to the afternoon n still couldn't get a time slot
Where I live(WI) Shop and deliver & Alcohol delivery opt-out is disabled
Same here. It says there's not enough qualified dashers in my area.
Not me but I am in the southern part of Wi . So I can turn them off if I want.
In my market for the last few months, I am unable to turn off shop and pay preferences. According to the app, there are not enough qualified dashers for shop and pay so whoever is opt in, they can not opt out.
Dasher direct is great
GH doesn’t charge a stupid fee to withdraw YOUR money and you can withdraw as many times as you want
Nice! Thanks for the heads up. Just checked Uber has a $1.25 instant cash out fee
GH charges me .50 to instantly withdraw my money.
I asked on reddit if they had any tips for new drivers and they said to stay out of their market.
To be able to apply to the dasher relief fund for natural disasters and just in general you have to have a certain amount of deliveries to be able to apply.
But with Uber, they give you the option to just do shop orders. And with DoorDash they just give you the option to shop and deliver, but that’s also included with the food delivery..
That Crimson card is basically a carbon copy of Uber's Pro credit card. Really shocked you didn't even mention it. It's EXACTLY the same.
Yes I have preferences I’m in GA
I have been cussing out customer service everyday because i notice of the Deliveries Last of 30 Days numbers have been going down everyday so how are people EVER to 100. Last week I was at 94% two days later went down to 82% and currently it’s down to 72%. Now mind you I dash 7 days a week and accept every order I’m at 100% completion rate and Acceptance Rate 100%.
Use thought 5 unassign orders for completions rate for upside down orders.
they need to be able to uncheck location deliveries simply because i cant begin to tell you about little ceazars and gettin order after order and still getting my ratings effected after i unassign from a slow location then boom another one from same location its like nothin is coming out of this place anytime soon if they wanted to fix the issues simply allow a dasher after so much time to be able to switch to EBT because or after so long add a 25 cent base pay for so much time of waitin on a order this will fix the distance drives and fix wait time on not just the dasher but for keepin up order ready at locations and data collection from certain merchants
Cash on delivery please call customer before leaving restaurant these customers be on some shady stuff get there they not available you have to carry back to store save time call customer
If they were truly listening and talking to us drivers. Base pay would be $5 accross the board. They are not talking to us or listening to us.
I hope everyone also realize that these companies have data that shows we reject low paying orders and main accept good ones. They know that already they just focus on share holder value and cutting cost.
dash delivery preferences--NOT NEW, dash rewards--DON'T decline orders, otherwise you get DROPPED to a lower tier!!! my market, SLOW small area seems there is NO difference in either tier, AND time to pick up order is SHORT and delivery time is insane close to drop off time! no matter the distance! and when restaurants are constantly SLOW, dash should step in and push the business to do a better job at filling orders so we don't have to WAIT 10 or more minutes standing in a SLOW moving line for pick up!
They keep adding programs while the stuff they have is so broken you can refer ONE PERSON and get deactivated.
On Platinum and I got a violation for being 15 minutes late on highway 171 South and I want to deactivate me I'm a good dancer and they make me set hours on top of ours what do you think about that driver Mike
Sounds like crimson isn't much different than dasher direct. I get my money at the end of each shift, get cash back for using card....so idk
