I got an offer of $2.41 for a 1.1 mile order I took it. Cause I knew there was a bad tip in it. I told the person through a text thanks for your order, but you need it more than me. Then snapped photo and was right a .16 cent tip. I left a dime, nickel, and a penny on top of the bag. I hope they got the message. Don’t do this, I’d rather have zero. Don’t slap me in the face.
Here in AZ Papa Johns manager has proof Dash is taking a percentage of the customers tip. Crooks!
I knew it!!
Had someone say they were gonna tip 4-5. End up sending 1 dollar
I would tip double knowing that it’s less than $5
@@MaxmillianoMUSICASo you think the disrespect should only be a one way street? Well, that's just too bad because people need to learn we aren't their personal slaves.
That's why I'm not putting all those miles on my car that's bullshit. My acceptance rates on Uber Eats like 2% and on doordash like 7% and I still get good calls. They want y'all to feel bad for the two and $3 runs I'm not doing it
I made $100 in 5 hours with a 13% AR and I’m Diamond on UE. Consistently for 3 years too. It does not matter you get the same orders regardless
MO ONE should be taking these lowball orders. Absolute disrespect for your time , your literally doing charity and ‘paying to work’ at that rate
great video !
i tested 90% ar
and quickly dumped it back to 9% in one day as it wasnt worth it
I think it's like an invisible auction. They throw it out to the first person and see who will take it. Then they keep pushing it up until someone grabs it
Bingo.
Um....because it is.....I know you might not like it.
Exactly
That’s exactly what it is. The base pay is always determined by order desirability - not miles or time
I remembered when DoorDash has the option to state your reason for declining an order and I had always wish they had an option that replied: Disrespectful.
I went from 30% to 83% acceptance rate this month to see if there's any difference... i'm actually making the exact same, maybe a little less. I don't think it matters. I just dash by time now, so it's never great, never horrible.
No difference
It doesn't f matter at all! And your test should of proved that to you! In the end the only thing that maters is profit. They could care fucking less if you a a zero percent acceptance rate. If your the right person at the right time in the right position to make them money and you think 13 dollars for ten miles is profitable than they will send it to you and you'll take it. It wont be till a couple of years down the road you realize how just unprofitable doing this is. In the end you actually end up and pay to work, more than you make.
@@trustenbaker8766 i do delivery in NYC with an electric-bike and make a boat ton of money while smoking weed and blasting music, its only feasible in big cities though, here in NYC its almost a dream job but in other parts of the country probably worse than minimum wage
I was averaging 25-30 orders 8 hr shifts hit 80% made TD .after they gave less orders and more trash than good not I’m at 30%. Make it make sense 🙄
For real
Makes sense. Time is important on getting the food to the customer fast. Being the closest to the restaurant seems like it would be more important than acceptance rate.
Correct, I’ve talked to a few dashers myself and we exchanged acceptance rate, I’ve been around 15% and they were 70%+ and I got the better offers
If your market is oversaturated with drivers, I think these things will really matter. If not, DD has to send orders to whomever can best do them
It’s hard to really say for sure, I can only go through my experience. I dashed at all sorts of times during my 10 day journey with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and also tried certain hours like Friday night, Sunday lunch where people frequently order.
I made roughly the same for each day and saw all sorts of orders from horrible to amazing
@@DoorDashJosh tbh for me it'll never really matter. I'll always be a multiapper cherrypicker & low AR is unavoidable. If DD weren't so ruthless & unjust in deactivating drivers with no explanation, I'd maybe try it
I agree with everything (AR doesnt matter) except the how close you are to restaurants thing. Doordash will send me an order for 7 miles, and 6 of those miles is me getting to the restaurant. Which makes no sense. I’m SERIOUSLY the closest?! No way
I get those kind of orders normally in the early morning, I truly believe from 6-7AM in my market it’s just like me and 1 other dasher 😂 they will sometimes send me 8 miles+ out just to pick up in a completely different zone
@@DoorDashJosh I started doing the early shift here and truly believe that there only a few of us in the morning as almost half of the orders that I receive are from at least a couple of miles away. I could be wrong but later on in the day, it’s definitely proximity to the restaurant that determines who gets an order, especially doing the dinner shift
This is not true at all. It's been tested multiple times. Top Dashers will see high pay orders those who are not TD will never see. You will never, ever see a catering order with a $40 tip and orders similar if you are not a TD, even if you are sitting in the parking lot of that restaurant. It will go to a TD, even if they are 5 miles away.
@@michaelbell75 I don’t think he was talking about catering in large order program, but just every day dashing. Not everyone can even afford to do literal charity deliveries, and lose money on gas and you mentioned potentially make more down the line. I mean I could do it for an order or two if I wanted to, but I could never do it for 50 orders. And I find the same thing that this gentleman found in his video or in his research I should say. I get plenty of crap orders which is why my acceptance rate is 19% right now and fluctuates from 12 tour, 20…22 tops, I would say.
But I also had an 18+ dollar tip of the most of it was hidden until after I dropped it off. And it was literally a mile from the restaurant. Which are both around the corner from my house, which I was starting out it was my first order of the evening. A lot of Dashers would’ve unassigned due to not the longest I’ve ever waited there, but like a 10 minute way beyond what was expected at the restaurant. If it’s decent enough for me especially going on nearby and I’ve already put the time in that I have I don’t see the point in canceling. Especially since the next 5 or 10 orders could be crap.
When your part time it takes a lot longer to raise your acceptance rate your cancellation rate even more so I’ve been sitting at 98 for a while although I did have my first cancellation in forever recently after I went back up to 98 and I went down to 97 but a couple hours later I was back up to 98. I know two out of three or so of the cancellations I’ve had were double stacks. So I will be there at 99. If I hadn’t canceled we’re not that long ago. But I know any day I should be back to 100. I think there’s some algorithm we will never understand but I think once you accept it, actually following through is definitely probably one of the things they consider beyond if they’re wasting a minute, letting you decide if you want the order even if you don’t accept but one in five at best.
And again, like all of you also have said it really depends on your market. I’m on the edge of my zone so I could have to go very far for the 275 base pay here. (for the first order in a stack if the other consecutive ones are added after you’ve accepted the first. The subsequent ones are two dollars. But if you get them at the same time, they’re each two dollars.)
Can confirm its the same thing in Pennsylvania. I went from 80 acceptance rate down to 30 due to (10mile +) orders all under 5 dollars. Yes, there were that many of them. Why people order from restaurants super far away is beyond me and then half the time dont even tip so their order sits an hour plus so doordash forks over money. I went to resturants and seen many orders with the same name on thrm because they had to remake the food for being cold. Doordash is probably losing so much money because of it
Doordash should continue to lose money on these orders until they figure out a way to appropriately pay the driver, or stop allowing orders for more than 5 miles away, at all.
Come to Baltimore you would get way better orders
Morning bro! You’re amazing for the transparency you provide~
I appreciate it, I just like to keep things real and authentic 😁
I'm learning the same thing these last 2 weeks. Making more, in less time, less miles, and better paying orders tend to have happier staff at the pick up. Happy staff equals in and out faster and they are more appreciative of your service that is an extension of their sales.
Exactly! The whole acceptance rate is a manipulation method to think it’s worth it, I enjoy it for the dash anytime, but this month of September will be my first time without it and I’ll test everything out in 2 states this time
That's weird because the staff at a lot of restaurants treat delivery drivers like scum, which is ironic considering they're fast food workers. Maybe they're so miserable at the their jobs that they need someone to dump on?
@@majesty10xu15 those places I blacklisted and unassign the orders. Some teen tried to power trip and toss the cup to me with a smirk one time. Tossed it back, smiled, and told them to enjoy the rest of their shift as i waved goodbye. I won't deliver for places that disrespect me. Not often these days since I'm picky now.
I dashed in Las Vegas. Dropped my AR from above 70 to 50, because I just can’t accept those 3-5 dollar orders that make me drive 10-12 miles. It feels like an insult to see those orders pops up.
Great video I’m glad to see there is evidence that being a top dasher doesn’t really do anything. I refuse to take small orders for people that don’t tip. I would rather sit in a parking lot waiting for something decent then to pick up food for somebody who’s too lazy to do it themselves And expects it for nothing
Yeah fuck those broke ass cocksuckers. Probably spent all their money on mad dog 20/20 ifyaknowhatimsayin.
I think it does matter, but only if there are lots of drivers online. When there are no other drivers out or near the restaurant it probably doesn't matter at all.
I don’t think it matters much at all. I done the priority for 2 weeks where I got the reset and kept my acceptance rate high just to see what happens….
I made slightly more per week on average but burn through way more gas and put a lot more miles in my car because I was trying to keep my acceptance rate high. The trade off is not worth it. I would rather be slightly more profitable than to make slightly more money at the expense of wear and tear.
Great research and content fam. Keep up the great work.
Hi Josh, this was very insightful! Thank you for doing that research. I’m getting my AR on UberEats to 100% to see any benefits. I’m at 97% now starting from 68% in March. I do it part time. Russ
Are you seeing higher paying orders in UE since increasing your AR?
@@RikaMakara Not yet, I dropped a percent to 96 because I declined one order. So far the orders look like nothing special. I still get many No or low tip orders and high mileage orders. I can’t wait to be done with it and be at 100%. I’ll do the math to project when that should happen. Thank you for asking for an update! Russ
@@TheRussRyde Grrr! Too bad so sad. Sorry it’s not getting better! I wish we could all go on strike to demand better pay but there’s no way everyone can afford to do that and these companies are well aware of this.
Yes, the companies know what they are doing and choose to do it. I can't wait to get to 100% AR and then see all the massively high paying orders come in! They better...or at least I have experimented so others don't have to. @@RikaMakara
Hello Josh. I appreciate your report and your perspective.
Keep getn that money
Hey man your content is great,,,you sound , seem and look like a great person… That’s all matters
Just feel bad for negative people
I don’t pay mind to them
Keep up the with the great happy life you live
I follow the old saying, “If people are hating on you, you’re doing something right” I appreciate you
@@DoorDashJosh hey you’re getting the views and the comments so it is what it is as far as the contents of those comments! Have a great day.
I agree 100%. I get the same type. I don't do high mileage so I decline anything over 10 miles for 3 or 4 dollars.
Thanks for sharing this brother.
❤️
Great job testing it tho bro!! I've been back and forth all the orders are the same honestly
It truly is, whether I’m at 20% or at 80%, the frequency of the orders and the pay is honestly the same.
I do like having about 70% just for that dash anytime benefit, if it wasn’t for that I would keep it as low as I appropriately need to
@@DoorDashJosh i normal bank on shopping orders and get my dash anytime that way. Good stuff tho great video
Police Officer is a tough job. Salute bro. Great vid. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
The market you deliver in, is a large factor in many aspects of this work.
You are exactly right!!! This is exactly what I found when I ran mine all the way up to 99%. I lost money in Nashville by having a high AR.
Did u raise it by taking the pay/hr or pay by order ?!
@thegigisup4293 i gradually raised it by doing pay by time and pay by order and subsidized DD with UE so i didnt take a big hit. What i found is nothing changed. Even if you listen to Tony's interview he said his goal is to have EBT and EBO pay the same. So either EBT goes up or EBO goes down, or a little of both until they meet in the middle. I hover at 17 percent mostly these days and back to make money again.
@Steelin2011 ok thank you... I guess only way for me to find out is raising my AR & sacrificing a week of pay lol thanks tho
@thegigisup4293 That is exactly how I felt about it. But I took about a month or so to do mine. I do believe people have different experiences. I can only tell you what mine was. I'll never go back to a high AR. I have seen gigtuber after gigtuber preach about a high AR. I am the type of person that picks things apart until i find whatvworks and what doesn't. Constantly changing little things and tracking what is happening. I can say without a doubt, 100% i lost money with a high AR. Your experience may be different. To maintain it and take the trash....i lose more than i make by not take the trash. Do i see a lot of orders? Yes i do and decline a lot. The trick that i have found is stat in the red zone if you venture out of it by the least little bit, the orders are few and far between. Where i live there are chain restaurants on about every corner, which may be why it works for me to decline the garbage as much as i do. I use Maxymo and DUH. I set my filters to minimum $7 and 1.20 a mile. Per mile changes as gas cost goes up and down. Anything less than those numbers it isnt on my screen long enough to see what it is.
Facts, great information bro.
Keep sharing your research
Very insightful
That's what I'm talking about!! It's all about the market! Yesterday, with my AC around the low 30%, I earned just shy of $180. Mind you, the Shop & Pay orders help, and also the Catering Bag Required orders that show $8 and higher. Those orders would be Diamond orders if I was in the Diamond program.
Acceptance rate doesn't matter one little bit. And I always schedule myself ahead of time so that I don't have to wait until it's busy to dash.
👍🏾😊👍🏾
I agree with this person 💯. I did my own thing like this and accepted 100 deliveries in a row twice and there was not much difference.
You are 100 percent correct. I dash in Los Angeles, which is totally oversaturated with drivers. I am also a Top Dasher. My AR ranges between 70-80 percent...sometimes a little higher. However, I constantly receive low paying orders....$6 to $8. Granted, the miles are low, however as Top Dasher with a high AR, I should be receiving higher paying orders, so basically the ONLY reason to shoot for Top Dasher is if you want to dash in any city at any given time, but you DEFINITELY won't receive better orders.
Large Order Program is the only thing to shoot for. I have a 5% acceptance rate and I have gotten a $300+ catering order delivering Red Robin to a hospital for a medical salesman to feed the ICU and surgical departments.
Top Dasher status isn't even meaningful on Los Angeles, because the map is always pink to red lol.
Love this video
I am at 6%! Trying to get to 0%!
😂😂
Good luck with your future endeavor Josh!
Thank you! Shall see where things bring me, but one thing is for sure! The TH-cam isn’t going anywhere 😇
You can get your acceptance rate reset if you call and ask them
In my market in garner North Carolina the pilot tier program is the best thing to ever happen since it debuted in July I make about $150 bucks for 5 hours of driving on weekdays and $500 for the weekends. I prepared myself ahead of time and got myself a catering bag waiting for this tier pilot program and it paid off I get $20-$40 dollar catering orders that are about 5-10 miles and if they are hidden tips on top it will change your day. I had a catering order on Monday for $50+ going 10 miles and when I was done that order turned out to be 75 bucks for seafood and that was my first order for the day next order was a catering order for sushi paying 40 bucks for 6 miles when done that was 65 bucks all in 1hr. Only time I see bad orders are after 1am and that’s when I call it. So it all depends what market you’re in and if your in a pilot tier program or not.
Hear the pilot tiers gave me a reset and I was getting high paying orders and the only difference was that high-paying order and the + like as if it was guaranteed but it could be a quarter. And was rarely more than a dollar or 2 more. Now it’ll say the amount and then in parentheses guaranteed including tips. They still go up just as often as they don’t. Maybe more often. Again, not always by a ton of money. But I did have one girl from 725 going 1 mile and it went up to $20 and some change. And I was probably around 15% then.
Greetings from Miami, keep up the good work 👍
I went from 89% to 79% this week. Started being a little more picky but I take most decent orders. Just decided I'm not doing anything for less than $5 with gas at $6 a gallon. I avoid certain places where I have past issues and shopping orders with too many items or stores I'm not familiar with. I had one of my best earning weeks ever on DD accepting less orders. I do occasionally get very good tips because I dash in a wealthy area. I have had a $17.50 a $15 tip this week. I have also had to wait 20 minutes for food a few times this week. The good comes with the bad. I am currently considered a "top dasher" with my stats, just do this part time for extra money.
There is a huge difference here between the two acceptance rates... but there are a LOT of dashers here to compete with, and I think that plays into that. even at 70 we were lucky to break 80 dollars after working all day (we don't have large orders yet.). at 90% we make that amount in half that time.
LOP and catering is where the real money is and you won't see other one unless you are a TD.
I have the exact same amount made in a day. $80 bucks.
I declined so many orders last night drop mine AC rate to 78 percent from 90 percent 🤷♂️.. I do what’s best for me not DD with them trash orders 🖕🏿🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯✅
Exactly! Take the good ones and shove the bad ones down the drain, we out here trying to make money not work for free
Facts! I’m done taking 0$ tips, cuz the only one winning in that situation is the customer. They didn’t have to waste gas, nor did they have to tip or see your face. That’s a big F u to me.
In my area, they don't raise declined orders .25 anymore. And they dropped most of the base pays from $2.50 to $2 - and they now treat two orders like one for base pay at times. I'm looking for a different side gig because it's now a struggle to make $20/hr gross.. ugh...
In The DFW market. As soon as you drop below 50%, you get fewer orders. All high acceptance does is give you more orders which most are bad anyway.
wow man i wish i could share a screen shot on here but basically last week i've got 71 orders $442 doordash pay $188 in customer tips 22h active dash time. These are all canadian dollars. People in your market tip way more but the base pay seems better.
Yep proximity is the key good luck 🍀 on getting in the academy
If I have one piece of advice for delivery drivers: never drive your own car. Rent a car and drive enough to make the payment, pay with a credit card that has rental insurance. You get a free car with your time, but don't have to worry about maintenance or depreciation. If the car breaks, you get a new car immediately. If your car breaks, your whole life is screwed.
With a rental car, you can accept good $15+ deliveries that are far away, or will take you out of zone, and never worry about the mileage equation.
What i found in low end orders pay outs they gave me more points for doing those per order so it was worth it for me to take them to get my rating up fast.
Thanks!
Thank you very much! 😇
My number one piece of advice is ignore hot spots, because all that does is put you where the other drivers are. What I do is park in between the PF Changs, Red Robin, a local joint and the CVS. The restaurants have the most catering orders for the large order program (Chick-fil-A is too far away from any other restaurants that cater on DD) which pay the most, and sometimes you will get CVS pharmacy orders that have 30 deliveries in one offer and each deliver pays $15 a pop. So you drive a few blocks, collect a signature and then get paid $15. Drive a couple blocks to the next house and repeat. You can deliver all 30 packages in a matter of 3 hours and get paid $450 for it. I get a $100-$300 order every 200 orders on average with a 5% acceptance rate.
Yes indeed hotspots are a scam. I just go for drive in my "loop" to pick up orders.
Nah man you have to go to hot spots were there’s low dashers in the area don’t work for doordash do Uber in 5 orders I made close to $60
@@EnvysWRLD You live in a different city than me to be delivering for Uber. My average order pay is about $10 so making $60 for 5 orders is really no big deal. I did a $36 Door Dash order on my last shift so I'm certain I made far more than $60 for five deliveries.
This guy should make more of these videos dedicated to delivery service as a whole with reviews and education about the app's TOS
Thanks for your information. I also get those extremely low paying orders even though my acceptance rate is high
Its defitnely market dependent. In my town it doesnt matter what your A/R. Whoever is closer is going to get the order regardless.
Not true. DD has an algorithm and it definitely prioritizes TDs for the big money orders. which your $8 Taco Bell order is not lol. Have you ever seen a $50 order with a $35 tip from Mortons or a higher end restaurant? No, you haven't because youre not a TD in the LOP and catering. AR is everything on DD, not on UE though
Never sit near a little caesars on the weekend, man that was the worst night ever lol
I’ll add that on my do-not list 😂
I only stay top dasher for dash anytime and upcoming tier driver system with lop opportunity. Yes as a TD I get a ton of trash orders.
I stay between 47-65 Cherry picking. I see NO difference when I’m at 47 vs 65. DD is King in my town. UE is all fast food. On DD 95% of orders take orders r from higher end local restaurants. Each market is different! Thanks for doing this!
Probably because Uber eats gives the restaurant the choice to use their own delivery people so for the big tip orders, they probably do if they’re not that busy with their own direct orders.
Oh yeah, we have plenty of fast food. I’m DoorDash in my area too, but we also have a nicer restaurants. And I’ve gotten the same tip from a meal at a nice restaurant or two meals as some of the more generous people getting McDonald’s which already charged double on the app. Every single order is going to be different.
There is a difference and you actually made less accepting every order. When you factor in expense like miles driven ($7 for 17 miles--why?), gas, car wear and tear, and so forth you actually came out less.
Those orders shown I didn’t accept
Most Dashers don't think that way! Lol
I've been between 5% to 30%
for the last 6-7 months 😂
on Dash....
I haven't come remotely close to 70%
and I don't think I want to 😂
Exactly. Dashers also never keep track of miles and fuel, just what they make and their rates.
You are just wasting time and money and ruining your car for what then? $8 Taco Bell orders? Neat. You might as well just not even drive DD if you ae going to keep a low AR.
@@chipdouglaschipdouglas nothing like generalities
@@michaelbell75 I didn’t even notice it because I was multitasking, but people keep mentioning a Taco Bell order, and he specifically said in another reply if he didn’t say it on the video that the order is he showed on the screens were once he declined. 🤦🏻♀️
@@michaelbell75The AR doesn’t matter. It’s a gimmick to keep people taking anything and everything. Do you not realize that?!
Being a top dasher doesn’t mean you will only get high paying orders it means you have higher priority, I don’t think it matters on tue acceptance rate either but the one thing I do think it matters on is if it’s not busy I do think the person that has that top dasher will have a better chance of even getting a order sent to them, my acceptance rate right now is 25% I got it up to 45 but it’s almost impossible to get higher cause I get so many 2-3 dollar orders in a row or 15-20 mile trips for like 5 bucks. I do like to be able to dash whenever so that’s why I now try and make sure to do the 13 shop and pay orders each week to keep being able to dash whenever. I live in Orlando Florida so I also think we are just flooded with drivers. And that one order I bet wasn’t even a 99 cent tip being it was over a 6 mile trip I bet it was a 49 or 24 cent tip. I did a shop and pay order a couple weeks ago and it was a good paying order but the tip was only 10 cent, I mean seriously just keep your money these kind of tips are more insulting then no tip in my opinion.
He's back 🙏🏼🙌🏼 GM Josh!! ☀️
It’s been a minute, been a little busy 😬
Hope all is well, I was wondering when you were going to upload a video haha 😁
Oh yes things are going well just been really busy with working, training for a potential career change and starting school soon 😅
Good for you man, do what you have to do!! 🙌🏼 Positive vibes and Hard work will take you all the way!! 🎉🎉
Facts I said the same shit the other day I was at 70% acceptance rate but since I don't accept the small orders I'm at 45% but still get orders over 10 bucks it don't really matter what your acceptance rate is 💯💯💯🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️ and I'm in houston texas
For real, when I was at 33% I had this order that came across my screen and it was paying me $14 for 6 miles and that order was actually higher and paid me $22.
@DoorDashJosh door dash full of shit they be wanting you to break your neck for $2-$5 and if you don't accept your rate go down but like we both said we still get big orders at a low rate them small orders that ain't paying shit you gotta do too much it be 2 miles away but you Have to go to some Apts on the 3rd floor hell naw 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🙅🏿♂️🙅🏿♂️🙅🏿♂️🤣🤣🤣 that's why I don't accept the low orders
It’s so bad out here no one tips and cares about us. One night recently I went out just to decline 9 orders then go home.
It's been extremely hard to raise my acceptance rate
Ur opinion is correct bro AR is only matter to dash anytime that’s it
Or if you think they might have openings for the large order a program/catering orders in your area. But that’s no guarantee because there’s a wait list all over for that and that’s for top Dashers.
I hope the pd stuff goes well, you are very kind and would be a great asset to the community!
This is def the truth I did the same experiment I dash in Napa, CA I got up to 98% now at I’m 96 and I swear I get more 3-4 dollar orders now than when I was below 90 doordash is so lame for that
The point some many people Continue to miss is positioning. Something that DOORDASH has no control over. You can work where and when you want. At the right spot and time every order is a diamond order. Some where else at a different every order is trash. Do your own research and find the right spot. No TH-cam video can do this for you.
Congratulations on Your application to the police force let us know the outcome, keep up the good work
Thank you! Will do!

On UE I went from average 35% AC to 2% this week
I didst even know was was possible lol
I can still dash anytime because I have priority on shop and deliver orders. My AR is 28%
Agree on the high dollar order and no r low tip that a insult
I have dashed in multiple states, usually as a Top Dasher. You are absolutely right. It doesn't make a difference. Still get lowball orders and terrible customer service. Getting the good orders is all about luck 🍀
Exactly!!! You hit the nail on the head which is what many gig tubers don't mention and that's LUCK. It's all sheer luck, period. I will debate anyone on this.
The SKILL comes in if you're taking and delivering across two platforms at once and still meet the delivery time estimate.
@coryjefferson6477 Good to know that someone else understands how it actually works. And being as it is entirely based on luck further proves that no matter how much effort we put into it, Doordash doesn't care about rewarding us for keeping our ratings high. All they care about is getting the food delivered.
On a side note, though, it is actually good for drivers, as we all want to earn as much as we can.
You have just confirmed my thoughts. Your second and third are what every day looks like for me even as top dasher. Ugh!
Hol You are a tip dasher? I am. I have been a tip dasher since the start. I went for Top dasher last year and its been a wild ride. On my 3rd car with my first ever payment. Not nervous but dang, this is a ride.
I accepted Doordash’s offer to reset my AR from around 50 to 100, then have 2 weeks as if my rate stayed above 70 (like when you start). If I had truly gotten more good offers at that time, why would I have to decline so many orders that I was down below 30% by the time my grace period was over?!? 😜🤦🏻♀️
Im at 20%. I never even delivered an order. I got 2 orders (same one)when i was playing with it the first night. It was midnight. They wanted me to go to the middle of the ghetto. To deliver chicken tenders. for 4 dollars. 😂since then i have never gotten another order.
I figured out the second day I did deliveries acceptance rate doesnt matter,I look at acceptance rate but dont care,its been 10-15% on DD and UE for the almost two years I've been on the platforms.I havent done deliveries in forever as the orders get worse and worse.I do rides now cause my area has more demand for it but you drive more miles and most of the payouts are also horrible,have slightly higher AR with rides,maybe 20-25%
I think Top Dasher comes into play depending on the saturation of drivers. My market is heavily saturated and they call $4 orders “high pay”. Anyway I can’t dash with out scheduling time if not a top dasher because there is never open time.
in california if your not a top dasher they wont send you any offers lol ... cali is oversaturated and pretty much come down too, accept are low offers or go find something else to do because you wont get any offers after declining
There a difference for a small few. If your in lop the frequency of cb orders increases exponentially.
even with 100% you still cant dash now whenever you want only if its busy or you have scheduled. Ive been dashing for 5 years.
I used to pull 200 in 5-6 hours. Now I can spend 10 hours and I’ll be lucky to hit 100. And I mean lucky. Doordash is over
Same here!! During the COVID lockdowns,I made $300 in less than two dashes on a Sunday afternoon/Thursday afternoon combination. Now,I hit around $90-$140 with six 2 hour dashes.
This is 100 percent factual and I can take it a step further and tell you that the rideshare apps are the same exact way. Your acceptance rate means absolutely NOTHING. They make you think it does because it messes with the system they have in place thats all. Thanks for getting the word out there i've been trying to let people know as well.
I love experimenting with doordash and testing out different methods to see what works, lots of people are telling me this new tier system is a game changer but whenever it comes to my market, I’ll be sure to test it again
It is funny, I was getting the best orders with Doordash last month at 57% AR, and making less when I was trying to keep it above 70%. I posted that on Door Dash Reddit, and got bombarded by a bunch of angry people, typing in all caps, ACCEPTANCE RATE MATTERS! I am not sure why so many shills are out there for Door Dash, but I am not going to take 2 and 3 dollar orders.
You are wrong, sorry. When is the last time you see a $50 order with a $35 tip come to your phone as a non Top Dasher? AR matters on DD, not on UE.
@@michaelbell75 tipping is a literal gamble it has 0 to do with standing
@@daveinthelife91 and you will never see an order with a big tip if you have a low AR, period.
So here’s the deal and what I take from DD APR It doesn’t matter if you have high priority or not because yea you might have high priority but the thing is DD will send you small orders anyway. I’ve had high priority as well as low APR ratings. ITS THE SAME. Question what if I have high priority and accept a bs order then a person with a lower APR gets a higher paying order?
The thing is the people with low acceptance rate are the ones not taking the crappy orders because there multiapping making a living. So that leaves it for the rest of the people, who actually do it for fun or on the side for extra money.
Not every cherry picker is a multi apper. In fact, sometimes they have left something like Instacart, because people stopped tipping as soon as they could leave the house again. And I thought it was ridiculous when base pay on Instacart was seven dollars for 100 item shop but now it’s five dollars. 😂
How do you see how much the order is? I can only see the items.
I went from 100% down to 66% can’t even get it back up to 80% without crap orders 😩😩😩
I got a shop and pay order for Lowe’s and I accepted it because it said 1 item. I think it was like $10 for 6 miles and after I started shopping at the store it said there were 4 bags of sand 50 lbs each. I was like hell no. Not messing up my trunk with these bags covered in cement and sand. Crazy door dashing adventures. 😅
Depends on the area. I was deactivated on doordash and started doing ubereats a lot more and it has been way better for me. AR doesn't matter, no need to schedule I can go on anytime. The app never crashes like doordash did often for me, never seen a two dollar order, last night I made $70 for five orders in town and I would need about 10 orders to make the same on dd. I deliver to the same people every week. I drive a hybrid and gas is cheap here and there is no traffic and now that the weather is not so hot I can do three four hour shifts in the morning, mostly walmart orders, then the dinner rush, then all the late night regulars. After 10pm there are only five places open here but I still get orders. I am grateful to have such an easy job and make more than I did at my last full time retail management job with all the bs you have to deal with.
That 18 miles for $7 is crazy
I got a .09 tip last week
Well the difference in my market is you don’t have a 50% AR you just don’t get orders at all
I have a brand new account, and I'm able to dash now all the time, and my wife has an account that's been around for a while, and she's hardly ever able to dash, and that's with a 78 % acceptance rate. It's really unfair that a new account can do whatever the hell they want, while my wife seems to never get any offers.
They put me at 97% took me less than 2 weeks to be at 6% they were worse than what I was getting at 20%
Because either they assume as somebody with that AR you’re going to take it or they know it’s a reset / trial thing - and they assume or hope you will want very badly to keep the high number. Mine dropped like a rock too.
@@rachmunshine9474 right the problem is I don’t give one bit about doordash that app is my bottom of the barrel app.
I’m a cherry picker! 20-30%. Then I increase my money by betting on sports! Also, I hate the Patriots 😂
Exactly bro... If you are a 80% AR and your getting crap offers of 6 dollars for 8 mile ranges that shows the 80% is meaningless. The only reason for an acceptance rating is to use a fear tactic as a penalty for not accepting offers that they need someone to do even if they are poor earning tasks. Door Dash scores a 3% rating on providing quality offers to their dashers. So don't worry about this fear tactic rating. Are they paying your gas? Are they paying your auto repairs? No so don't worry about taking crap offers that cause you to average less than 11 dollars per hour after paying your gas fees. If a offer does not pay you an average of 1.75 per mile and causes you to go outside your hot spot zone don't take the offer. Someone who accepts a 20 dollar offer and travels 17 miles is foolish because once you complete the task now you have to drive back about 12 miles just to be within 5 miles from the hot zone again. So your actually going 29 miles for 20 dollars which is way less then 1 dollar per mile. Don't let Door Dash or Uber Eats control what is your best interest. Be firm on only accepting quality orders that make you an average of 20 per hour
Yeah I automatically double the mileage when considering the offer unless it’s literally a few miles or less within my area that I like to stay in. Hotspots - unless you’re not in a saturated market - don’t even mean anything to me, except there’s too many Dashers around there. 😂But if you mean like just a good zone in general, yeah. They used to say “looking for an order heading back to your zone” - but now if the zone you’re in after delivery is full up on Dasher, they don’t even do that. They just say “navigate back to your zone “ or sometimes give you the choice to switch to the zone you’re in now. It’s kind of all over the place. That’s why I just take orders that work for me.
All AR is is a manipulative fear tactic; you are correct. I have learned when you are approaching dropping out of 70 or 50%, the app will bombard you with terrible orders. This is clearly because the app wants you to be afraid of dropping below these thresholds.
AR definitely matters in specific markets
Let's he real matkets don't even matter lol high ar means nothing but dash anywhere
Acceptance rate doesn’t matter. I make more by cherry picking and I get to relax more rather than accepting more orders.
What % of your time the last 10 days were doing breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Im curious for breakfast if you get more orders with higher AR? In my market about 930AM the last few weekends a note saying many dashers out and expect delays on incoming orders has hit, and with my low AR I see very few orders at that time. I'm thinking higher AR would at least show me more orders at times like this. If majority of your time was doing dashing breakfast time, I'm not sure that is a true representation of what you would see during a busy dinner time or Sunday shift mid-late day.
Valid points
You take everything, they will send you anything, because so many will be rejected......lol!
im in cumberland ri and the fr acceptance dont matter here only bring it to 70 percent so i can get top dasher to dash anytime
your 100% right about the restaurant that your closest too but also doordash tracks your profile and sends you orders based off of where you accepted your last orders
I thought a high acceptance mattered so I tried to hover around 70-80 I met a guy yesterday had a 30% acceptance and he was taking in 1200-1400 dollars a week and I get shitty orders all day. Time to switch it up.
I’m still getting the same orders this month compared to last month and I’m not a top dasher anymore with 37% AR currently
I am going to have to try it I've been having some success with the hourly in my area cause big tips are far and few but 2-3 dollar tips plus a 30 minute drive make most orders 10$+@@DoorDashJosh
It just seems like if you actually take 100% the offers get worse because you've cultivated that environment. It's a social experiment to see how low they can pay or how much your effort is worth.
