Doordash Driver Which Orders to Accept to Make Consistent Money
Doordash | Doordash Tips | Doordash Driver | Door Dash | Bentley Koup
I've only done 880 deliveries but I know where I need to be. I don't deliver over 4 miles, nothing less then $6 minimum, $2-$3 per mile, I don't go to certain restaurants I know are consistently slow. My payout has been consistently between $35-$40 an hour.
City?
And acceptance rate 10 % at risk of deactivation right
U can't make 💯 in 3 hrs on gawd u 🤥
@@guccii3227you don’t get deactivated for low acceptance rate I don’t think
@@guccii3227 you don’t get deactivated for that lol. You’re allowed to decline whatever you want.
I love how you’re trying to help everybody make money! Way to go brother! As a five year Dasher in Tulsa, I have two things to add. Number one…be picky top dasher isn’t worth it it’s all about the money! Number two…Everything is run by an algorithm, if you accept small orders you Let the algorithm think that it’s OK to pay us less! If you do not except the small orders they will get bumped and Price because they HAVE to be delivered, be patient be picky!
🙏
Yeah, I agree. This is why you have to establish your zone and Dash ALOT in it. Because beginners won't have access to this kind of knowledge. It takes time and experience before you have enough information collected that will allow this kind of decision making. I started off (about 10 months ago) driving the wheels off my car and coming home with $60 dollars to show for it. I'm now in the $140/ $150 range - but like I said, I didn't get there overnight.
Thank you for this
You are right. It takes time to understand your area. Now I know which restaurants to accept orders from and what areas and times to avoid too.
@Sincerely Respectfully how? Where do you live lol
@@Speedgamer2015 I made 194 my first 8 hours
When I started dashing I tried all the zones in the Dallas area to see what the best one was for me. I'm now only dashing two zones on different days now that I have figured out which ones are more lucrative depending on the day and events. I'm breaking 200 at least once a week and 150 the rest of the time. My out of zone orders are almost always high dollar with likely high dollar pickups out of zone for the return. Know what is in your zone and the surrounding zones.
So far of the several TH-camrs and content creators on DoorDash, you have been the most articulate and most intelligent in explaining this gig opportunity. Thank you!
🙋🏻♀️💯🙋🏻♀️ Definitely
I’ve been watching you while I ride around dashing. It’s only my 2nd day! I love your tips!
I learned a lot from Bentley. I’ve been doing this since January of 2020.
Thank you and good luck!
Thanks 🙏🏾
Congrats on starting! Sometimes the hardest thing is to have the courage to start. I'll be starting in a few days myself.
I really hope your not the driver?!?!?!?!
For me, I take 4 big things into account when I am selecting which orders that I take. 1. The Payout (obviously). I only accept orders that pay out AT LEAST $7.00. 2. The Mileage. I live in a larger market, and I also drive an older less fuel efficient vehicle, so I only accept orders that are paying at least $2.00/mile. 3. The Merchant. Is it a merchant that is typically slow? Does this merchant tend to have the food ready on time? How busy is that merchant on that given day? If the merchant is going to put me behind, then I am not going to bother with the order even if it meets my other parameters. 4. Where is the actual dropoff location? My town has a military base, so I obviously want to avoid that like the plague. Is it going to a sketchy neighborhood? Do you have poor phone service in the dropoff area? These are the 4 main factors that go into my decision making when I decide if I am going to accept or decline the order.
Thank you for your input
Thanks for sharing .. Finally a channel with positivity
When you decline an order does it bother you that your ratings go down? That's the threat I get.
@@mamafylees3344 Nope!! The only ratings that matter are your completion percentage, your on time, and your customer rating. You're acceptance rate literally doesn't matter. They try to convince you that it does with their "top dasher" designation. Only take orders that are profitable, as you are investing your resources (your vehicle) for a financial return.
It tells you the drop off location? I only see the miles...
I love that quote at the end, "you can make up money, but you can't make up time." That's why the orders need to be "ALREADY READY!!!" Thanks for all the useful tips. I've been dashing part time for almost a year now. After tomorrow I'll be over 500 life time deliveries.
The thing Door Dash has started doing in my markets is piggybacking a low ball order onto a good order. Sometimes if I am driving I don't notice there is a second order before i accept. They aren't revealing that second order right away. That makes it more difficult to stay on goal. My orders have gotten much better since i have followed your advice. I am averaging $25-30 now on weekends. I am still having trouble doing that on week days though but hey i am new. I have only delivered 250 orders. I'll get there.
Unassign the bad order. If it doesn't show the payout for each on the screen go through the unassign process but don't confirm and it will tell you the payout without it so you can tell what the bad order is
You know your stuff. Your approach to delivery driving is
that of an engineer.
Thanks for the info.
Right on. No orders out in the sticks, especially at night. Also consider what restaurants are stackable. For example, if you're in peak dinner hours, then give less weight to McDonald's orders when you know you could potentially pull stacks if you grab an order somewhere else. This video was spot on. I know there are a lot of $10-12 orders that I kick back into the system. Not because I wouldn't like to have the money, but they waste too much time or I know they will be a headache. If you're uncertain, throw an order out. So many times you'll see a better order come in right after it, and you'll be glad to held out for one you wanted to take.
Nice advice! So no order out in the sticks, so to not to get pulled out of your hotzone? Also, do you let the clock run out of undesirable orders or do you decline and give a particular reason why?
@@thencarolinaman1934 Just decline. If you let the timer run out you're potentially just wasting time during which another offer could be coming in.
@@joelb1299 Thanks so much! 👍 How long you been dashing if I may ask?
@@thencarolinaman1934 A year and a half. Lots of lessons learned! :)
I just started today and made $115 with your tips and tricks. Thanks for everything and I look forward to hearing and seeing more info from you!
How many hours did you dash and what market are you in?
DONT TELL EM NOTHING! Lol
I feel like your knowledge on life goes further than your incredible understanding of the ergonomics behind DoorDash, I think you should kick game on other things too! Stay blessed man
this is why i’ve been watching you for the better half of two years now! i’ve had 20-25$ with 10 dollar orders just as much as i’ve had with 6.75 orders there’s deff much to take into consideration when dashing, in due time comes to knowing your market!
love ur videos! very informative & has helped me tremendously! you have given me lots of pointers in which orders to take or not take. i watch several doordash videos by various people but you by far have given me the tools i need to be a better dasher! i thank you for your contribution to helping us all to use our time wisely. thanx !
Thanks Bentley. Went out today from 8 to 5pm in Southern New Hampshire. Made $227.00, not a second I wasn't picking up or delivering. I'm 64, semi retired, but I like to work and control when I work, when I don't. Delivered for Grub Hub for a year on and off. They pay better per mile but Door Dash is much busier. Thank you for your time and help. You the man.
That's the info I needed! I started last Tuesday & drove 65 miles to an affluent area just to begin. Didn't want to deal with parking issues we have in New York City where I live. I did better than breaking even. After 2 days I decided to Dash much closer to home. Did ok by spending less on gas. However, the tips in the area 65 miles from home were better. Today, I'm going to Dash much closer to my neighborhood & see how that works our financially. Wish me luck!
You help me a lot more then a lot of these other videos. Your straight forward with it
Thanks for your advice. I love your content!
This is a great job I do this before my other job and after work as well
I dash in Greenville,SC and these tips are saving me time and money on my dashes currently!!! With college kids being home it’s hard to get orders throughout the day currently
Thanks so much for these videos! I started dashing a couple weeks ago and your content has been so helpful! Today I tried only accepting orders that were at least $1/mile (starting small because I'm not sure about my market) and it seems to have paid off! The acceptance rate warnings were super intimidating but I rejected the orders that didn't meet that requirement!
Just started watching your channel and you give nice advice! man keep up the good work
The two worst orders are the ones that only pay 3-4 dollars regardless of distance, and the "nice" orders that take you way out of your zone, where you have to drive almost the same amount of miles back just to get orders again. I only take those piddly orders if they're combined with a good one. I sometimes take the high-mileage ones if they're above $15 and depending on the time of day/how much I've already made. I have an electric car so at least there's no gas to worry about.
Props Bentley this is one of the best informative videos out on how how should dash at a moderate level good job man travesty only has 3500 views when you have tons of subscribers
congratulations 🎊 on 100k!
your recommendations are solid and professional.
Thanks fam
Appreciate the pointers, thank you!
Thanks for all of your great advice
Alota the people making videos on tips should also talk about the different apps that help save money on gas, gas reward programs, great ways to save on maintenance prices, stride and other apps that help track miles for taxes, and also go over whats needed for tax time and what to save
Here's what works very well in my market. I like taking a mix of short and long distance orders. For short distance orders $6+ for less than 4.5 miles. You stand a good chance of getting a double order. So, if you get 3-4 orders an hour doing that. There's $18-24 right there. For long distance orders, nothing less than $10 for a single. And, nothing less than $12 for a double. Still clear about $150 on average for 6-7 hours worth of dashing.
I am about to start Doordash Monday and I am glad I found your channel. Keep up the great work.
How is it going so far
@@KingRD-jw7ge Well to be honest I made two deliveries out of my zone, I should've paid attention to how far the location was but the worst part about those deliveries is I didn't know for Walmart orders that i had to scan the items with my phone. I thought Walmart employees did that. When I delivered the Walmart items I didnt get paid for those two deliveries.
I remember when I first started i was accepting $3 orders lol I’m still gaining experience just need to sharpen my skills more
This is gold... Thank you 🤞💯💯
I wished I was in a bigger zone. I’d love to try some of your trips. My little zone consists of a McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Dairy Queen, Little Caesar’s. No major upscale chains.
You can go into different zones you don't have to stay in your area
I know the feeling. We got a couple big restaurants here but mostly fast food. And they don't tip
I havnt begun this as yet. But i will watch these videos for a while to get the mindset to begin this side hustle...
Thank you for your videos :) helped me allot
Great advice thank you Bentley! Love the tips and advice. I only have 129 deliveries behind my belt. Trying to catch up to ya lol.
Black Friday was cool. Killed a lot of bed bath and beyond on 3$ peak pay in Philly.
Another great video thank you
Thank you for saying every Market didn’t pay the same because I see people commenting about nothing taking orders below $10. If I did that I wouldn’t make any money unless there’s a promo. I found the area that’s best for me but it’s consistently trash orders. Downtown is my favorite there’s just too many building/gate codes which isn’t bad if provided initially versus having to wait.
You know Bentley thank you for the reminder, but I definitely been working exactly the way you just did this video cuz things are slow and different had to change my goal when I come out. You have to readjust but definitely am on point with what you just spoke on I do that in my market. Mr G Chicago southside
I look at where the house is. Find a nearby landmark and search it up on maps super fast before the timer runs out and that roughly tells me how long it’s going to take to get to the drop off and back. Super useful for me and it’s made me more money.
there is a spot just under the name of the restaurant (on the offer)with the miles....sometimes it does not populate right away...so I do like you and look for major streets or landmarks ....because I know with usual traffic how long it will take me to get to that location
Thank you for the videos! I did my first day, averaged $26 per hour and made $141!! I'm so excited.
My first day was a week ago and I easily made $87 in about 3 1/2rs.
Super easy and I never accepted anything under $6 unless it was super close by, but even then $5 is my lowest acceptance.
Yo dope bro thanks alot
Love the quick check. Why do we have to check if we are not doing anything wrong? This is what the police need to change.
Only bently understands 🙏🏾💯
I had such a hard time tonight looking for an apartment it was crazy but finally I did and I got no tip
Good information thank you
I just started a week ago and your videos are so helpful! What's the quickest way to figure out where your order is going, my app is not showing the map initially?
I just stared I be accepting EVERYTHING 😂😂😂
Thank you Mr Bentley!
Used your tips on a Sunday in New Hampshire today and made 50 dollars from 1pm to 330pm!
I love your videos! Today was my 2nd day dashing. An order popped up and the restaurant was less than 1 mile from my location, payout $4.50 and I automatically accepted the order not realizing the customer was 7 miles away! It took me a total of 24 minutes to drop off the order and get back to my area to accept more orders🤬😩. Won't be doing that again
Is there a way to tell how far the drop off location is?
That cop radar in your head staying on point is also a must do as a delivery driver lol 🤣🤣🤣
Everyday ! Eyes are like a hawk 👀
Much appreciated!
Great content on Dashing indeed
Bentley first let me say I tried the miles ratio thing. It makes so much since! But if the hotspots update every 10 minutes how can I make sure I’m delivering by a hotspot area. For example; last night one hotspot was Taco Bell. I did not accept those orders because the pay was under my acceptance price. But another common place was not a hotspot but quite a few orders came through and so I stayed in that area. I know at the end of the day the hotspots are not necessarily pay worthily. Lol
I just wanted your input. Thanks for all you do!
In my area I leave apt orders in the lobby unless it's a great payout.
I just had my first dashing day last week and I did 7 orders and made $35 but there were 2 that were way too far. I just didn’t know whether to accept or decline so I did it and I burned about 60 miles in gas so what I earned basically went to my gas which kinda sucks. Still learning but I appreciate your advice. Thank you!
Lol "quick check" - I do that every time I see them. Don't need my clean driving record getting hits because of not paying attention and then being disqualifed from delivering.
I stay in Knoxville tn so all my orders drive me out of hot spots I spend more money on gas then anybody because it’s a lot of backroads so after I drop off the order I have to drive back to where the restaurants are located
So how do you end up near a hotspot when they’ve sent you outside of your zone?
I have a highway in my city that has one exit 20 miles a way. I park on the shoulder and when i get orders it calculates all the miles to the next exit and back but all i do is make a u turn after i get the order the retaraunts are a mile away but my orders are all over 13 dollars without driving the miles i make 100 dollars a hour sometimes if its busy.
I only do $1.50 per mile. All Orders under $4 get ignored.
($1 a mile up to 4 miles)
UR GOATED🤞🏽
You are spot on. When I dash I try not to take an order of less than $7 and it also has to meet my $2 per mile ratio so if I get an order that's $7 and the miles is 4, most of the time I'll toss it back because that means that for $2 a mile, 4 miles would equal $8 not 7 and I don't be playing any games. I also work a day job, so the miles that I dash in the evening I refuse to let exceed more than the miles that it takes me to get to work and get back home each night which equals to 30 miles. I refuse to dash more than 5 miiles out past where I live. Luckily for me I live in Los Angeles so at night the orders are large and very busy and I can make $100 to 150 very fast and still not go over a 30 mile drive. To have strategy is where it's at. Also if for example: I take an order that's 10 or 13 dollars & I get to the restaurant & they say it may be a 5 to 10 minute wait, I cancel it. 99% of the places have the food ready, so I'm not waiting.
I thought I always the only one! 🤣 I cancel a order quick if they got me wanting to take a seat in the lobby. I’m learning time management is equally important as the orders you choose. In panhandle FL these folks hate tipping if they not tourists 😭
Does it not affect your rating if you cancel?
Does it not affect your rating if you cancel?
Hi...great videos. I was wondering what the best reason to decline is? Does it even matter, or should I be honest? For me, it's always either too far, or too small an order. Thanks
I'll take that $3 order if it is a dash back to the hotspot order. In other words. We got out of the hot spot but there is this one restaurant we drive by to get to the big hot spot and the order offered will pay me to drive to the hot spot. If there is a wait, The order will get thrown back. I rarely have waits on low pay orders.
Yeah, definitely know your area where you're gonna spend most of the work. Helps save time when the app tells you to enter somewhere that has a 🚫 sign or when there's no reliable parking lot right by the door.
I got nothing but trash offers all day today. Only had 2 decent offers that I took. It was to be expected though since it’s only the day after thanksgiving.
But Saturday was good for me....$121. First day dashing
A lot of us watch you but I apologize because many of us don't like your videos or comment bcs we are busy watching you while waiting at restaurants. Your videos are the best bro. Wish you can device a way to monetize your videos
What up Koup 💪🏾 you got me on my GRIND, per usual $3100 in 31 days Challenge
How do you make that type of dough? Whats helping you the most in your grind game? Few nuggets please?
@@thencarolinaman1934 Very easy and under 4 hours a day. Planning is key. Station myself within walking distance from the $$$$ restaurant ( sushi, steak, no parking/valet, high pedestrian areas, extreme healthy spots and well known dining) set a daily goal so to avoid tail chasing, review my city road closure and event sites & use the customer side of dash to see wait times
@@WhooKim Awesome! Couple of questions super please..... what is the term tail chasing? Also, exactly how do you use the customer side of wait times and how exactly does that help you? I'm new to this..... Much appreciated! 😊👍
@@thencarolinaman1934 chasing tail, like a puppy will just spin in circles.. like accepting an order that has too many miles( this will waste gas and cause frustration- if you are speeding from one side of town to the next)
@@thencarolinaman1934 also if you act like you are ordering thur the website or app( each restaurant will give you the wait time.. Koup just gave this info in one of the last 3 videos… so you can have an actual example
Yo you work in Overland Park? I’ve been thinking about working there but ive been hesitant Bc Everything in KC is far apart
Any pro advice for multi apping to keep cancel rate down? Like I'll have a decent order then a much better one comes seconds later lol on another app so I cancel and take the better order.
Need help. How do you know where you are dropping off before you accept? Mine only shows where you pick up and how far away the restaurant or store is. I got one the other day that paid good but took me another city with no other restaurants around so i couldn't get any orders
So basically;
(order total/time to complete)*60 = hourly pay (make sure this is above your goal?)
Brooklyn ny zones are bad. 90% of the time, your order takes you out your assigned zone. It's hard to start dashing in another zone because of how busy it may be. Most of the time the area you deliver to might be greyed out, making you have to drive back into the zone, wasting alot of time
I experience that on Sunday as if it was my fault the drop off was out of the zone; and sure enough I could not get orders until I came in closer...
I dash in clemson, sc. The pay sucks per mile. Base pay is low. It's hard to make money there. If I decline 2 in a row then it seems like they make me wait longer to get another one. The app messed up on me tonight and it was the first time I was able to schedule peak pay and it was taken away because of the app.
Wish I found this channel early. Went from 4.6 to 4.2 I’ll never accept low pay orders again.
I don't take orders under $7.25, $2.25 being from Doordash. The average order is around $30, so if the customer doesn't tip at least $5 then it isn't worth my time. I try to keep the orders under 5 miles and I make sure that I will still be in the zone and near another order. Doordash will try to trick you into higher paying orders that will take you miles away from anything at all. I know that someone will take the order, but I just know better now. I passed a $19.75 order that was 11 miles one way today knowing that I could get two $10 orders below 5 miles each in my zone, and that is exactly what happened. $1 per mile in my area will make you under $15 an hour so I aim for $2 per mile, $25-$30 per hour.
I turn down orders to deadwood that are good paying but are 13 miles away from hotspots
Ok what's your advice for delivering from a small town. Do I need to deliver in a bigger market.
Lmao the "quick check". We are the same lol
To the fucking T. These cops be cherry picking too 🤣🤣
Thank you!!! deff good information for me to take in💪🏽 ive done 1500 doordashes in my area and this will help me dominate my doordash game foshoooo🔑
Do you use apple map or in app map when dashing?
I did my first dashing last Friday, McDonald didn't have the order ready when I arrived I waited for a good 6 min I did let the customer know that I was waiting on her order. It was also hard to find the place, it is a college town lots of apartments. I did up grade my google map so hopefully that will help. I did turn town I think 2 orders cause they were under 5.00.
Have you stuck with it? I started small about a month ago and feel I am just now getting the hang of it all.
Bently will forever be the door dash goat 🐐
~*Ty for your vidz...your exp helps so much!! Your appreciated!!!*~
Ok just signed up and was looking to start today. Nothing available and I can only schedule 1hr tomorrow noon-1pm. Someone said new dashers get dash now for their first 2 weeks. Perhaps my market is too small (30k) so maybe this is why? Any thought peeps.
The thing that worries me is other drivers driving around staring at their phone,
What's the tip for customer service to pick up lol on hold right now counter is at 53min and counting :( lady didn't want her order tell monday idk why I even got the order
The idea to have to pay $10 minimum on tip to get food at a reasonable time . Especially with all the other fees that add on wit the up charged food
You could just order from the few remaining places that have their own drivers.
You seem to be in the door - what do you think about them paying more for a late night deliveries because it’s unsafe and on top of that is really late what do you think
Almost caught that DWB charge
Anyone else unable to use the waiting feature? I had to wait at Hardee’s today for over 8 minutes. Couldn’t find the option to click waiting on order. I texted the customer to let him know why it was taking so long. He was appreciative. But he was on break. I felt so bad for him not getting his order on time.
How do you find the the drop off location before you accept an order? I was making great time/money on a scheduled Dash. Took an order that was literally around the corner. The delivery took me out in the sticks to a dirt road, way out in the middle of nowhere. I was hearing Deliverance banjos in my head. Pretty scary
You look at the map for the drop off house icon. You also look at the total mileage.
Assalamu alaikum. I totally agree. I believe those that question how we do things on day-to-day basis are part of ones journey and collective a test that we must discover and complete less we come back for another ride. Yeard?
Sometimes cherry picking orders you'll wait long time so I take small orders to just kill time
I signed up to deliver within ten miles, then quickly discovered I’d rather stay within five miles. I chatted DoorDash about it and they said I couldn’t change it. I also don’t see a way to look at the delivery address before I accept an order in the app, or whether or not I’ll receive a tip. What am I missing here? I’ve only been dashing for a few weeks and I’m concerned about the wear and tear on my car.
Last night I had 2 Walmart orders 2 items in total 12.9m for 24.??. I was like hell yeah I'm taking that. Almost an hour later order #1 cancels & 24.?? changed to 11.90 for 6 miles I was mad. NEVER TAKING ANOTHER WALMART ORDER
Hey that’s my number one rule for every gig delivery. Do not EVER accept Walmart orders. I’ve had people cancel or even had Walmart location mixups. It ain’t worth the time!
I thought you said to accept every order and to keep myself accountable
