    Honestly at least in my area we have so many dashers that if you aren’t platinum, you HAVE to schedule your dashes and it is a struggle sometimes to get a spot!

    I’ve done earn by time a few times and the one thing I really do not like is that it often takes me to areas I don’t want to go. The mileage is often much farther than I want to be going and I think in 3 hours I ended up with $5 in tips. There were more apartments, difficult drop off areas, etc. I may try it again but I think it’s best for filling up the dead period when food delivery isn’t higher paying like during the dinner rush.

    what is often missed when talking about earn by hour, you get paid ONLY for that fraction of an hour actually spent on the delivery. An $18 an hr offer that takes 15 minutes ( quarter of hour) earns $4.25 cents . Not that you can decline a cheap offer on earn by time

    Making the experience even better is to raise the overall offers and money amounts per offer. They need to learn to use the terminology "DRIVER PAID TO WAIT" and create a new delivery driver feature out of it. Minimum .25 cents per minute wait time should be standard for all delivery drivers across all platforms. Someone else beside the delivery driver needs to pay for the down time that's being waited on for the orders to be made ready for delivery. This is the elephant in the room. Tighten up the wait time so drivers can grab, go and deliver on to their next orders and pick-ups. Stop wasting drivers precious delivery time waiting for free on their own dime. Stop the madness!!!!!

      What I am beginning to see is that restaurants staff the drive-thru and counter with way to many staff
      and then have only 1 or two employees do ALL the call in orders....Uber orders AND DD orders making
      order 10-15 minutes PAST the "time the order is done"....
      it is now routine to see all the drive thru orders DONE....all the walk in orders...DONE....and the DD drivers are STILL waiting for their orders
      How about ALL the staff do the orders in the order they received them......
      and not have counter/drive thru staff doing nothing while the "online order" staff/ people are inundated with orders.

      Seriously!! & the restaurants “sorry for your wait, we’re just really busy”, as if, I could also not be busy on another delivery where I don’t have to wait. It is equivalent to us coming into their job & ask them to work for free! It’s so bad sometimes. I’ve legit waited for around 45 mins in 3 different stops, on a 4 hour shift. Someone needs to do something about it!

      Depends on your market area. Like in Honolulu here, all of the late night bars and fast food places are open and all of the grave shift workers are ordering throughout the night. For me, the grave to early morning shifts are the best because there’s only a few dashers up and delivering

      What is your Tier status? Are you only taking orders that make sense? I don't think I could make 85$ if I worked a whole day. I work the evenings and can barely make 50$, most times it's 30-50$. My earnings have gone down, and I think it's because people are ordering less. My acceptance rate hovers around 30%, I won't take low paying orders, they have to be more than a dollar a mile. I'm not killing my car but I'm making less than I used to. It is to the point where I'm looking for other ways to make money, maybe even a W2.

    If you want tips make the customer feel important if you have a problem with wait time tell the customer what’s going on with the order the want to know where their order is and most of them understand Driving like a jackrabbit is not going to get you anymore tips could get you in a accident.
