Edit: Don't go anywhere I'm hitting the road tomorrow for my first full Silver status shift!
Not in my market. I get maybe 2-3 DD orders a day. Some bangers, some non tips but less than 1mile since itâs a small town. Doing spark though, usually 80-200/day because they tip well and not over saturation with drivers.
Keep up the good content coming Mike :).
Just a friendly reminder that if you want to prolonge the life of your transmission don't shift from D to R and vise versa before the car comes to a complete stop, because there is internal parts that wear out since they're not designed to withstand the friction happening from that.
I remember hearing about that years ago, definitely forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!
Mike I have the side hustle tracking sheet, but is there a place on the sheet for me to put in my daily expenses? I really need to see it all togethet
I actually get more shop and deliver orders since and they have been better paying offers. I will move from gold to platinum this week and want to see if it pays off
Shop and pay always has higher base pay. More money ð
I think even DD's support page says they pay higher than restaurant if I remember correctly. They're not bad I'm just really a fan of restaurant runs for their simplicity.
trying to purchase a dash cam for safety reasons. Something not too expensive but good enough in case of some accidents. the problem is there are just so many out there. do you have advice or recommendations?
I went to pick up at a McDonalds the other day and they had two DoorDash orders with same last three digits and had to verify with the last four instead to make sure they were releasing the correct one to the dasher.
With a consistent 70%+ acceptance rate since I started dashing, the number of shop and delivers continues to go up as a percentage of offers, and accounts for the vast majority of declined orders since I've noticed that almost NObody who orders S&D thinks your time is worth squat.
In my area, premium pay is anything over $1 per mile.
Also, at every McDonald's in my area, they keep the orders behind the counter until you show them your screen with the proper number on it, specifically due to the large number of lowlifes who steal orders. Chik-fil-a is the same way. Apparently, it's become a common thing for general purpose criminals to just wander in holding a phone, grab random orders they can reach, and leave on the assumption that nobody will realize they're not genuine dashers until they're well gone.
Nice insights. Yes I'm still surprised on how MANY S&Ds there are. For me as a consumer I've only used it when let's say it's in the evening and I forgot I'm completely out of contact solution. I'm just surprised on how many random CVS, Target etc there are though.
I have many restaurants here in NH that require you confirm pickup before leaving. People are so dishonest
I just got to DoorDash platinum and itâs most definitely worth i literally was getting orders over 13 all day ð
I wish that if the order takes more than 5 minutes to pick up that it Auto switches you to EBT for that one order only. Then switches you back after the order is delivered.
That's a great idea, do you think they'd freely offer that option that would pay out more money though? ð
@@YourDriverMike lol no I do not think they would offer that at all ððð it's just VERY WISHFUL thinking lol
If the drivers support says to keep the food I keep the food. I feel itâs them giving permission. Same goes if the restaurant says to keep the food. They usually just throw the food away since they canât accept returns on food.
I canât believe someone picked up your order while you were assigned to it thatâs new for me
Common unfortunately, had it happen a few other times as well. The DD app should never double assign an offer, they need to fix that it's been going on for a long time
I wish wendys packaged up the orders how mcdonalds does, drinks etc and everything inside the bag, instead wendys just hands you the drinks separate
Or worse.....Cains, Where you got to fix your own drink.ð
This!!! Iâve also found a few here in my town that make me fill my own drinks from the fountain, and put my own stickers on my bags
I grab some drink carriers from restaurants to keep in my car when needed.
@@kellio8087 I pretty much do the same thing
Gotta say as much as I don't like McD's sometimes, they have some of the BEST delivery packaging. Starbucks and Dunkin is solid as well
I'm curious if it slows down there for both ue and dd. It slowed down a lot in my market since it got warmer out.
Statistically yes order volume declines over the summer, what we call the summer slowdown
Ah darn I didn't know! Makes sense in hindsight.
I don't even bother with shop and deliver in my market anymore. No way. It's always a waste of my time. ALWAYS.
I really wish they gave me more standard restaurant runs like basically every single other year dashing. Would love to have a toggle for S&D offers
@@YourDriverMike that would be bomb for sure
I never see s&d. I think it's because of a setting in the app. U can opt out of them. I came across that setting the other day and noticed it was turned off.
@@mng519 I don't blame you
You could also call support and tell them to remove you from shop and deliver. They did it for me but then I had them put me back because my offer quantity dropped drastically
I had that happen to me today thru Chick fil a. The store remade the order & I called customer help. They called Chick fila. I did deliver & get paid but I shouldn't have stood there & waste so much time. I probably should have unassigned.
The McDonaldâs in my market usually ask to see the order on the phone to confirm. I guess theft has been a problem with McDonaldâs.
Makes sense, I'll have them do that sometimes too
I'm in Florida. All my UE and DD are only offering $2-4 for 6-10 miles. I worked today from 8:40 am til 4:45 pm. All I made was $83.88, and my miles were insane.
I'd get a regular job
Thanks for sharing, I've always heard FL is pretty tough for gig apps
@kellio8087 I live 48 miles from the city. I'm an hour away from anywhere. The closest to me are restaurants which pay $2.50 an hour because you get tips. I have a personal situation that I can't "JUST GET A REGULAR JOB". It's easy to tell people what they should do when you don't have a back story. Thank you for your advice, though.
@sunshining4eva I understand. I had a health scare 2 years ago because of my prior stressful job. I developed autoimmune and had hypertension from the stress. I couldn't work a stressful job until it was fixed. So, I did doordash. Now, I don't believe in working yourself to death. So, I'm still doing food delivery for a more calm pieceful life. I also love that food delivery apps are available for those with disabilities, the older folks and people with children, etc. It's helping so many people.
My DD experience has tanked. Yesterday I had 3 hrs with no orders at all, and today was 1.5 hrs. I mean nothing not even a bad order. Luckily I had uber to at least do a few orders. It is getting worse in the Denver area
Same exact thing here in SC
@@Nick_Bollinger same thing here in South Seattle
Same in Massachusetts ð
Same in Dallas. But I do have uber and that save my day. I think there are a lot of venezuelas.
Same here kentucky
Shop and delivers are my bread and butter, excluding Aldi's, $25-30 an hour by just knowing store layouts and moving quickly.
Curious why excluding the Aldi? I get a lot of those here
@YourDriverMike The layout is horrible, almost always no parking(part of strip malls), almost always out of stock on multiple items, and I never have a quarter.
I bet we find that my 8% still gets the same high paying orders that silver, gold, and platinum are being told they get... just without the little note telling me it's a high paying order.... minus catering orders of course.
You think DD is going to let you stay at 8% in the coming months and years?
@jeffw1267 no company can terminate us for an acceptance rate... period. They can't force us to take any order... many lawsuits have been lost by Uber on down for trying.
I definitely still get âhigh paying ordersâ at my 1% ar. Everyday I get 20+ for 9 or less miles. But definitely depends on the market.
@secretchannel6232 same, I get high paying orders all day long... someone has to take them, while top dashers are taking the $2 orders to maintain status.
@@TheSideGigGuru With the rewards program, they are making it hard for the low AR dashers by not allowing us to schedule 6 days ahead. In a lot of areas, especially small towns, you can't dash without scheduling. So in that way, they are forcing a high acceptance rate.
No rewards program here, yet, but I have noticed less high paying orders with my 30% AR. Sure, I still get them, just not as many. Maybe it's that people are tipping less. I'm still not convinced that having a high AR gets you better orders, and there's no way to prove it.
been at platinum for a week now and never got a high paying order nor catering. I was in the large order program and this messed me up badly. now I'm at 83%AR, 4.8CR. 100%completion rate and 97% on time or early. all I'm getting is $6 for 4 miles and orders like those. all for nothing
What city?
If there aren't any high paying orders, you won't get any. Seems unlikely though, that after a week you didn't get any. Maybe there are too many platinum drivers in your area.
Haven't seen this one before, but uber must be pushing their shop and deliver. Giving me 20 bonus for 5 orders. Don't think I've ever seen doordash offering a bonus for shopping orders
You mentioned a buffer. My rule is 5%. Why? Because I turned down a 5 batch back in the walmart days and the system counted that as 5 no's.
DD won't do that, you can decline a stacked offer it'll just be 1 decline
@YourDriverMike must have changed that. Wouldn't be surprised, because they do have a tendency to constantly look for things they can tweak.
I got dinged for a late delivery the other day. It was a double order..had 2 wait on food once I arrived. How is it my fault. I delivered in sequence. Promptly..who decides the tardiness, Customer or DD?..
In those situations you can press Iâve arrived at the restaurant then proceed to press a highlighted/underlined prompt at the bottom of the order screen (I forgot what it says) then press store line is long/busy or food is still being prepared and they wont penalize you for being late. Hope that helps you for future orders.
More info here: help.doordash.com/dashers/s/article/Lateness-Based-Deactivations-Explained?language=en_US
Yes you shouldn't be penalized for waits at the merchant. DD decides lateness based on expected delivery times
I was at 48% and declined the the order then I went down. Iâve been stuck in the 40%âs.
I've been on Silver here in NYC for 2 weeks, where you need 60% AR to qualify. There is absolutely no advantage to being Silver, at least here. No difference in scheduling, no difference in Dash Now. I get $4.50 for 1.5 miles with the sign saying my Silver status qualified me for the high paying order. I still get $2 for 7 mile offers. I just lost Silver status yesterday because I declined 2 stacked orders at the end of my shift, one was $3.50 for 8 miles and the other was $7 for 19 miles. Now I'm at 59% and I could care less.
I can see that being the case in NYC as well as CA markets, FL and some of TX. Markets with a lot of Dashers and just not enough high paying offers to go around aka higher tips bc I'm betting a lot of them are not because of high base pay.
Wouldn't be surprised if you see more shop and deliver, because of the higher base pay
Hoping I get 10% S&D but I think you're right, I'm expecting 50-70% S&D. How did they get so popular in the last few years?
@YourDriverMike lots and lots and lots of advertising, and based on my experience with instacart during pandemics, much easier to get a shopper and much less likely to get someone who was a master of bots (that was a nightmare, trying to get good batches while fighting the bots that picked them .1 second after they popped up)
Heads UP ! DoorDash literally wants to get rid of drivers. I have been noticing that .
Mcdonalds are the freaking worst tbh, bunch of kid just chilling without working behind the counter. always take 30minute to have the delivery. I dont accept these order anymore
Just noticed the DD in app goggle maps changed and now I can't see the satellite image of the map...did anyone else's change?
Mine's always looked like the standard green/gray roads - not the terrain/satellite view. Didn't know you could change it like the native Google Maps
@YourDriverMike ya same here but I was able to change it, now it's different looking and can't be changed...also DD support is the absolute worst man!
Getting the higher AR is the easy partâĶmaintaining it is the tough part
Tier system seems to be a trick to artificially boost their corporate numbers and get more bad/low orders filled ro dave money.
Then its a gamblers fallacy for drivers since they put all this time and effort in to maybe get good orders to not lose the tier.
I've only been doing this for a year, about 4000 orders, and I don't recall a customer ever inspecting their order in front of me, but if they did, and they did find something extra, I'd tell them to keep it. If they then give it to me, well, whatever. If it's in the bag, it belongs to the customer.
Yeah I wanted her to open the boxes to double check bc if that was wrong I'd make it right and go back to the restaurant if need be.
howâs your car treating you?
2015 VW Passat, think it's around 89k miles. It's been good. Next car I'll probably go compact/standard sedan. The Passat is a mid size which is good for Flex and other routed delivery apps but not as nimble in tight spots/roads. Always trade offs though
@@YourDriverMike I have a 2017 Jetta
It's a rolling accept/decline. If you declined an offer and the one getting ready to fall off the last 100 offers was also a decline, no harm/no foul. If you would accept the offer, then you'd go up one percent. I just can't be bothered with AR honestly. Some days are great, most days are "okay" and only a few are disasters. I'm doing okay with my 12% AR.
What market are you in?
Thanks for sharing, I've always been in the teens to 20% AR. Trying this as a test basically
Iâd take both of them
The initial shop & deliver?
My mistake 200 not 2,000 deliveries for instacart. I forgot that each delivery is worth 10 points.
Im Gold status & averaging $50.00 a day in downtown LA ð
Probably the most competitive market in the country, that or NYC. Does the Prop 22 pay make it worth it?
@@YourDriverMike I just started tho. Three weeks in to it tho. I think it will start getting better as I hit 100 deliveries. But definitely do Uber eats, Uber & Lyft during dead time
Iâm from Pittsburgh not daring enough to dash in the city. Not bad if you have a partner but Iâll stay away.
The restaurant is throwing it away I'm keeping it
If the customer didn't want it I would 100% take it ð impossible to return it to the restaurant for food safety reasons and I guarantee DD would say the same thing.
8:43 god saving u from danger jesus protectes u, the lady u was probably gonna deliver was probably a shoot out or something bad stay safe
I thought this was a doordash video it turned into an Uber eats video
Yeah, false advertising
Did you watch the whole video? Just did 1 stacked UE run
I watched but not completely... Sorry
YUP, you decline you go under and lose your status, definitely need a buffer. I was at 70% and they sent me 5 crap orders in a row, I ended the dash. Fired it up the next day and got 5 more crap offers in a row, back down to 58%, booo. (Almost back to 70% now, doing the same experiment)
Hit 50 then 70% and then received a string of crap orders driving rate down. Area is flooded with DD drivers . Difficult to get on any amount of time and when I did get on the orders sucked.
See that makes me think it's like "now we got ya" bc they KNOW you have to keep accepting
Oh it's that pizza sauce on your chin, Mike ðĪð
I would keep that pizza. The store would probably toss it away, so why waste food.
If the customer doesn't want it the restaurant wouldn't be able to take it back. Years ago I had a customer cancel the order while I was on my way to deliver. Contacted support and they said to 'dispose of it as you see fit' (paraphrasing) aka hey you can keep it in those rare situations. Maybe the customer was running late for something and had to cancel the order.
@@YourDriverMike Yeah, for safety reasons the store wouldn't accept it, as you said in the video. IDK, if the pizza was good (if I knew the restaurant made good pizza), I would first offer it to myself, especially if I was hungry; unless the customer left I good tip, the I'd offer it to them.
Wait...did she take the pizza?
She did ð can't go back to the restaurant so one of us has to take it. Default goes to the customer, feel like it's bad karma to just take it for yourself without asking the customer
Driving for apps pay peanut s
The truth is the MBA that thought up this business model figured out that the companies could market these services so the driver would survive on a tip making up the difference because they are taking the majority of the exorbitant fee that they are charging the customer...(the customer obviously looks down on this person delivering their groceries, its a class prejudice)
We vote with our vote, but we also vote with our money....Just because a company is telling you its a tip doesn't make it so...ITS A DELIVERY FEE YOU CAN LOOK DOWN ON THE POOR SLUB DOING THE JOB, but you can't complain when your benefiting from the system.
would you deliver 100lbs of groceries for $10...using you car? Your Gas? No? but you sure have no problem using that "Delivery boy" for your needs
Until these companies treat human beings with common respect and value ... Stop using them
@6:50 just because you are 2% away from your goal DOESN'T mean 2 completions will get you there. It all depends on how many declines you had 100 ago. I don't understand why drivers can't figure out a "rolling 100" method. If you declined 5 in a row 100-95 offers ago, you might have to accept 7 or more to gain 2 completion points.
How do we even know how much it'll increase by bc we don't know how many accepts/declines are in those last orders? Pretty confusing system for dashers
C ... Tell her she can keep it cause I hate McDonalds
It means u got to keep delivering and taking offers no cherry picking
Your market is so bipolar ð I couldnât handle all that nonsense.
I also do drive at all times of day too so there's that. Recent shifts have been around the same general window though
ð
Support AI needs help
The AI support basically said unassign with NO pay. I wonder if the AI is being used as a slight block to dashers getting at least partial payment as that's another step (aka requesting an agent) and some might not know to do that.
I hate doordash.
I will not take no tip orders, period.
If DD is running promos, I load Uber and make bank.
Tired of these manipulation tactics. DD needs to fail.
The answer is no but we are here for your suffering ð
First commentð
You let the customer have it. I would just say, do you want a free pizza? If not, I'll take it.
Why would you take food back to a restaurant if they made the mistake and gave it to you they're going to take it and they're going to throw it in the f****** garbage so it is an essence you just threw it in the garbage because what you think they were going to be able to f****** save their mistake and get the money for that pizza who gives a f*** they cost less than a dollar when you're making them in bulk. And besides you have no idea what people do with things and I'll leave it to your imagination to wonder or ask what those things are
