The advice to not rush is excellent. I was driving around like I had an organ transplant and a surgeon waiting, LOL. Running through apartment complexes trying to find the customer. It’s not life or death, it’s just lunch.
I was laid off 2 weeks back from maternity leave because they replaced me but thought business would get better by the time I got back. I should have started this earlier, but I waited 1.5 yrs to try it.

Thanks Mike ; I’ve been going strong for 3 weeks the best advice I got from you is to not rush . Great advice I hear you in my head telling me to slow down a little bit . My life is a lot smoother not racing around . Thanks for looking out for us dashers

Day 1 I earned $29. Day 2 and 3 I made $50 by just choosing a better time to go. I get to listen to music and drive. Tomorrow my dad needs to go somewhere in downtown Dallas so I’m going with him and while he spends his day busy, I’m gonna run around and take orders in a place where someone I met said he makes $200-$250 a day.
I just can’t explain how good i felt when my account got upgraded and the bot grabber software that was added to my account , all thanks to this support LYFT_TECHZ who helped me out. now i can grab all the higher paying at my own comfort zone without no stress.
For people who are ambivalent about the acceptance rating, lets put it this way. I have a 5% acceptance rating and yet I'm still making $100 for 4 hours of work. Please don't let it bother you.
@@noahl8198 commerce isnt bad. tips are nice but your gonna get heavy traffic in the afternoon on orchard lake road . Just drive the extra 10 minutes to the pontiac block for waterford, keego, orchard lake area. I work every day in that block..always start at 8am and 99 percent of the time i break 100 by 1pm
I’ve been binging your videos. I’ve been in severe need of extra money and with chronic Lyme disease I’m very limited on what I can physically do. You’re videos are very much appreciated
I agree with all the tips except for one. I found it much better to drive between hotspots than to sit at one. I've gotten far more orders driving around. The only time I would say to sit put is if it's really slow bit even them, I've had better with driving around.
One of the reasons on the decline order page needs to be “I don’t work for free!” What’s up with all these $2.75 for 5 miles or $3.75 for 6 miles? “I don’t work for free.” should be a reason.
I just signed up to be a dasher this morning and I wanted a better idea of what I was getting myself into. Thank god I came across this video it was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you so much! Left a like and subscribed!
I live right up the street from all the fast food chains in my town. Started dashing tonight, delivered 3 Jack In the Box orders, 53 min active time, made $30. Not too shabby.
One of the ticks i get from delivering with DD in NYC is when the customer says “leave at door” only for underneath to say” call when here and hand it to me” leaves you flabbergasted 0.0
Great Tips! I watched your videos when I was considering starting DoorDash and I feel like your advice helped me hit the ground running when I started as a Dasher! You learn so much as you go in the gig economy! I'm glad I decided to just jump in and give it a shot, I learned a lot!
May I ask what city you signed up in ?, my city currently has no drivers available and I cannot wait on the waitlist that will literally take years so I’m looking for a city that does lol
I did my research first and today was my first day. Long story short I finished with almost $80 with 3 active hrs. 1 good take away is to not rush because I do know I was super early for sure for at least dropping off three which was stressful only because I was new to this and took on two orders at least three or four times in the same area or same restaurant. This being my first time was stressful but I managed with no hiccups
I've started three days back but I couldn't grab much orders and literally when I start to make 2 order, my scheduled time finish and I can't work , I don't know why I can't extend my slot ???
I don't take fast food orders. Not worth the headache waiting. And I love the fact so many restaurants are literally feet from where I park. Winning!!!!!
.55 per mile. Record, give to tax person at tax time. That’s it. Use mileage tracking app. If you pay for app that can also be written off. Can also write off any food you buy while working. Keep receipts
what do u mean by the red card? If they have the app, why would u need to use a red card to pay for their order. Shouldnt it all be done before u pick it up?
Don’t rush is a really big one, especially with drinks. I went to Goodwill and got a few good size purses/totes and baby blankets for my insulated bags. I take the bags with me into restaurants so I can pack the order into the bag and keep it at temp, plus very stable so it doesn’t spill as I load/unload. I take the bag to the door and unload it there, so it’s at good temp. Customers appreciate it.
I was really lucky that I had several hot and cold bags that were gifted to me (and the whole company) from my regular job. Only problem is that they say the local hospital name and logo really large on the side. But I just leave those in the car. Lol
I would love to see a video that walks me and talks me through a full door dash after the fact... so record it in the moment, leave that hard to focus background music out, and talk me slowly through the process of an order coming in - what do you look at, what helps you to decide whether to take the order or not, what are the things you consider? Once you take the order, talk us through the details of how the app works from there. My first order took me forever to figure out how to do everything in a timely manner and I ended up getting tagged as not having delivered it on time, when in fact, I had delivered it at least 5-10 minutes early. Also, where do you put your purse? Some of the areas I deliver to are not the most trustworthy and full of character, integrity, and respect. I worry about my purse when I jump out to run a delivery up to a house. Things I found hard to figure out on my first day dash today: 1. How do I look at the screen and know whether it is worth my time and drive? 2. How do I know what the full amount of miles will be? 3. Once finished, do I drive back toward a hotspot to pick up another delivery or stay where I'm at? 4. Is there a way to tell where I'm being sent ahead of time? (I live in Indiana and it sent me across the border to a rough neighborhood in Illinois today. I grew up in a neighborhood like that and I know what goes on. I was not prepared and should never have been over there.) 5. How do you go into the app and send the customer a text? Are you doing this through the app or through your own text message? 6. I actually live in a rough and unsafe area... How do I drive to a safer area where I can work? Do I have to find the hotspot or can I just go to the area and then pick up orders from there? 7. What app or process do you use for tracking mileage, vehicle maintenance, etc? 8. I know I'm missing some things. For a type A - Highly sensitive personality and a total introvert (functional introvert but nonetheless...), I was a little overwhelmed with it all. I wish I could have had time to play in a "test" version to really learn my way around the app and figure out how to navigate it but because they don't offer that, I need a video that at least takes the time to show these things - and preferably, a previously recorded dash that has been gone back through and voiced over to explain everything...
I know if you open up the app, the red busy areas you can click on them and hit navigate and once you arrive in that zone you can dash there. I like to go away from the bad neighborhoods lol (although sometimes it’ll end up taking me right outside of Englewood in Chicago as thats where the customer is). I’ve noticed the restaurants are almost always inside the zone, but the customers can be anywhere outside of it.
Well first of all I would recommend not taking a purse if you're that worried about it... I understand there are things women have to keep on them no matter what, but these things can be stored in easy to access locations in your car. As far as the other stuff, I'm just starting Dashing today :P So I don't have any info on that lol
Thanks brother for these great tips. I have been following you for a long time. I appreciate your insights and experiences that you have been able to share. Great job!
Stacked orders n only a few actually tip. Dragging two weeks groceries from Walmart up 3 flights of stairs because of contactless delivery n they don't tip. Gets my Goat n thinking about not accepting Walmart delivery
Walmart orders don't sound to favorable initially but most customers will tip a few days after , I've also experienced customers cash tipping me as well . DD is unpredictable, you have to take risks sometimes to really start capitalizing . You will win some , but will loose some but stay optimistic !
#3 was my burning million dollar q! Where should dashers hang out to get set for the next order. So thanks. I’m new starting today ( New Years Day 2023) and I look forward to making some needed cash.
I see this happen far too often but it's aggrevating when they choose 'hand it to customer" then leave a message saying "contactless delivery please" there is an option for that fam
Hello Mike. Thanks for all you do. My question here is as most of the orders come in their own bags, when do you consider taking your bag into a restaurant to receive orders. Or do you always take it in no matter what the order is? And I'm guessing you have various sized bags for different sized orders. So when do you determine when it's appropriate to use these bags?
The door dash bag is crappy. Too small for one. I bought a couple off Amazon and reinforce the side so it would stand up with cardboard in the interior it’s much larger and I can hold a lot more sometimes I bring the bag in because that way the employees know right away it’s DoorDash it just depends though. I have a separate drink carrier sometimes the cardboard ones they give you are really not secure enough
I always feel nervous that I might deliver it late to a customer due to traffic, accident, waiting at the store for minutes, hard to find the address and other unexpected delays beyond your control. I want to calm down...
My very 1st day Very 1st delivery will be today and I’m nervous as the Virgin Mary….if she was nervous. I wanted to start yesterday I 🐔out. I know I will be good at it IVE ALWAYS HAD GR8 customer service skills I’m just shaking in my boots 🤞🏽🍀😉
May I ask what city you signed up in ?, my city currently has no drivers available and I cannot wait on the waitlist that will literally take years so I’m looking for a city that does lol
@@shannongonewild9717 I signed up in Gretna Louisiana which is a hop skip and a jump from New Orleans Louisiana and it stays quite busy as busy as you want to be or as relaxed as you want to be
You don't get a starter kit, until after delivering for a while. Not sure if that's a new policy, and this video was published before that changed, but I just started, and they told me I won't get a bag or a red card until I've delivered for a couple of weeks. Just thought you should know.
Do you have or can you do a video for deductions? How to calculate gas, maintenance, repairs ect... I put in work last week made abour $725 but nearly $300 in gas (18mi/gallon ugh) do I deduct gas from earnings then calculate taxes based on whats left of is it based on total earnings?
With winter coming, what do you recommend about trying to find apartments’ addresses in the dark? I based my decision on taking certain orders knowing fast food are usually apartment Renters. I also don’t take the bait with stack orders that are extremely low which Door Dash tries to sneak in all the time since that lame order has been declined by other dashers.
Hello, a subscriber recommended the Beans app which is GPS for apartments; I've been experimenting with that. DD also does a good job of showing you exactly which building to deliver to even within complexes. Last resort I'll stop at the complex map if I'm lost.
Do u know if its an apartment building or a certain neighborhood before u hit accept or do u have to accept the order to then see the details? I really only want to do residential houses.
it says that AFTER accepting. or i would decline apartments all day. however if u dont want to do it that badly u can unassign the delivery and doordash will ask why. say u dont wanna go to that residence
i juat got accepted by doordash--per the app--they don't send you the hot-bag until after you have completed your first dash. What type of first dashes can I/should I accept that wouldn't require a hot-bag?
If you have a Tesla, this job is SO worth it. 4 hours of dashing is around 25-30% of my battery and I’m more open to taking a lot of orders. I live right near my capital and try not to take orders that cross the river into the shady part of town.
Thank you for your door dash and uber eats videos!! Is there a way to start gps automatically when accepting a dash order? Or do i have to always click the google map button??
I'm relatively new to this but i choose it due to making my own schedule and if my babysitter for whatever reason can't watch my daughter I'm not calling into work sick I just don't log in that day but on the other hand it's a small town and less than a year old in this town so not a whole lot of orders but my max delivery would be 2 miles if I went from one side of town to the other
Active Time - time spent on a dash, from "Accept" to "Order complete" and Dash Time is total time spent "online" (from hitting dash now to hitting end dash).
I did my first dash yesterday and it was a disaster because my phone kept buffering and I never got the customers address so I had to return the product.
Started doing door dash a few days ago I had a decent and 2 ehhh so so days and have had bad luck with the tipping should I not accept order that don't have tips 🙃?
Serious question. Why do I care to "stand out" to restaurants because I purchased an extra door dash bag🎒? If anything that tip should be to keep more food fresh when you have multiple orders.
Just started dashing. The app will not give you any orders until your in the zone that your scheduled to work in. It tells you in a yellow banner to get back to the hotspot areas to receive an order. I sat in a non hotspot area and it was the only times i didn't get an order within 10 minutes.
Hello, go to "Help" and select the order then select cancel delivery. Full breakdown: help.doordash.com/dashers/s/article/How-can-I-unassign-myself-from-an-order?language=en_US
When u say home u mean my house lol? I usually go sit at the mall close to many hot spots but the hot spots look confusing on the app sometimes I sit all morning
I don't like the new rule of having to be monitored 24/7 by DD now. Of course there is a work around but what right do they have of knowing where I am 24/7? Independent contractor?
Hey Mike - looking to maybe get into this business since I'm unemployed due to the Covid-19. How many miles do you typically drive on a normal or busy day?
I know you can write off business expense like mileage but does Doordash and Ubereats count toward your social security earnings history? Like you mentioned you need to set aside some money for taxes at the end of the year but once you deduct all that mileage it reduces your social earnings.
Hate when it does that 😠 I am scheduled for one zone and than it slowly pushes me way away from my zone because it gives me other orders and I end up wasting so much gas.
Make sure to check that dollars:mile also make note of the ending destinations before accept so you'll know what you're getting yourself into as far as positioning.
Where do I find the Dasher store ... Is it in the app? My red card and bag are lost in the mail. Post office has no idea where the package is. Is there a way to track your mileage? I'll never had early access. Every door dash order I've taken is jacked up. I've even had customers yell at me about drinks they didn't order that weren't on any ticket or in the app during a contactless delivery. They never ordered the drink at all. When the app glitched and Gave me a 25 miles order it said was 5 miles away... I logged out and never went back.
When people do orders for say walmart do people just throw them in the back seat or use like rubbermaid container or something? I always use my hot bags for other orders but for big grocery orders idk, I'm not the best at keeping my car super cleaned out..
What if you're in an area that you know is busy due to the fact that you're surrounded by restaurants but the app is saying "schedule" instead of "dash now"? Is there a way to change it to "dash now"?
Stay in the higher class areas and the restaurants that u have received big tips for. Try and take those places. And drive like a grandma if u want . Most customers wait for u to leave before they grab there food. So spend a lil more time in front of there house and u will see u make more Haha it's funny be more confident then the costumers
⚡️As a new Dasher, do you know what to do if your Red Card gets declined? Watch this video next: th-cam.com/video/GOVEtMi-v2o/w-d-xo.html
Can you make a video on how to use red card on an order more specifically ? Thanks a bunch.
I don't have a card yet
Do you have a video that states the purpose of a red card? (Do people order from you or do you order your own meal on a red card?)
Im in Australia do I need a red card?

The advice to not rush is excellent. I was driving around like I had an organ transplant and a surgeon waiting, LOL. Running through apartment complexes trying to find the customer. It’s not life or death, it’s just lunch.
Yessir! So far, a lot of times I’ve stressed on an order, it ended up not being bad at all. Just overthinking.😊
Exactly lol
Honestly it's a blessing to have a job like this especially for people who's job closed due to covid
Very true
I was laid off 2 weeks back from maternity leave because they replaced me but thought business would get better by the time I got back. I should have started this earlier, but I waited 1.5 yrs to try it.

I started a week ago, how was it for you so far?
Welcome!
I find it addicting. Like a challenge
Still going? Hows it been. I should well surpass 3000 orders this week. It's been good at keeping me afloat money wise
How has it been ???

During rush hour,keep your deliveries within 3 miles close to ur zone otherwise u will get stuck in rush hr traffic.
My policy is minimum $8. That covers the first 2 miles. After that $3 a mile.
I'm brand new to dash. Did my first night last night. One thing I had a hard time finding was the map with miles. Yes no rushing!
For people who are ambivalent about the acceptance rating, lets put it this way. I have a 5% acceptance rating and yet I'm still making $100 for 4 hours of work. Please don't let it bother you.
TY for covering the acceptance rate, a lot more clarity on that now 🌟
Just did my first day dashing, Choose west bloomfield, mi as my zone. dashed noon til 5pm - made 100. far better than I expected for a first day.
$100 in 5 hrs??? That’s not bad at all!👏🏾

I think because I works around a Walmart and a chic fil a across the stress from each other. I never have worry lol

Thanks for the info on do not rush!! I have skin cancer on my left leg and I struggle sometimes going quickly because I am in pain.
Keep exact mileage driven because mileage allowance more than pays your taxes. No need to set 20-30% aside.
Thanks Mike. I have found your videos to be very helpful. I plan to watch many more. Keep it up.

Don’t rush is a really big one, especially with drinks.

THIS IS THE BEST, TO THE POINT AND MOST I HAVE LEARNED FROM ANY VIDEO ABOUT DOOR DASH. I AM A FAITHFUL SUBSCRIBER AND THANK YOU 💜 EXCELLENT TEACHING.
Just bought a car and looking into this soon! This video is very helpful

DD is unpredictable, you have to take risks sometimes to really start capitalizing . You will win some , but will loose some but stay optimistic !
i would never accept walmart orders imo. the only red card orders i do is if it’s like CVS and there happens to be one nearby
I like wearing the red shirt I think so!
So I can order it, I guess!
Cute & red!

#3 was my burning million dollar q! Where should dashers hang out to get set for the next order. So thanks. I’m new starting today ( New Years Day 2023) and I look forward to making some needed cash.
question, so if I decline an order and I dinged for that, or do I let it time out ( not accepting). thank you!!!
Great content man. I subscribed the other day. This is info I need. Thanks Mike!
Great video. You are good on cam, and I'll bet, anything you do. Thanks for sharing.
I see this happen far too often but it's aggrevating when they choose 'hand it to customer" then leave a message saying "contactless delivery please" there is an option for that fam
Yes bro shits annoying lol
Hello Mike. Thanks for all you do. My question here is as most of the orders come in their own bags, when do you consider taking your bag into a restaurant to receive orders. Or do you always take it in no matter what the order is? And I'm guessing you have various sized bags for different sized orders. So when do you determine when it's appropriate to use these bags?
You get one big red bag. Your orders come in plastic or paper bags. Take the bags out to your car and put them in the red bag.
The door dash bag is crappy. Too small for one. I bought a couple off Amazon and reinforce the side so it would stand up with cardboard in the interior it’s much larger and I can hold a lot more sometimes I bring the bag in because that way the employees know right away it’s DoorDash it just depends though. I have a separate drink carrier sometimes the cardboard ones they give you are really not secure enough
You are the best Mike, info is helping lots. ty
I'm a new subbie and also going to Dash later on. Thanks for your help.
I always feel nervous that I might deliver it late to a customer due to traffic, accident, waiting at the store for minutes, hard to find the address and other unexpected delays beyond your control. I want to calm down...
Same man but we just gotta give it a shot and put the worries aside
Grateful for the solid advice. Really appreciate it. 🙂
My very 1st day Very 1st delivery will be today and I’m nervous as the Virgin Mary….if she was nervous. I wanted to start yesterday I 🐔out. I know I will be good at it IVE ALWAYS HAD GR8 customer service skills I’m just shaking in my boots 🤞🏽🍀😉
May I ask what city you signed up in ?, my city currently has no drivers available and I cannot wait on the waitlist that will literally take years so I’m looking for a city that does lol
@@shannongonewild9717 I signed up in Gretna Louisiana which is a hop skip and a jump from New Orleans Louisiana and it stays quite busy as busy as you want to be or as relaxed as you want to be
Can I do this without the bag and red card or should I wait until I receive them?
You don't get a starter kit, until after delivering for a while. Not sure if that's a new policy, and this video was published before that changed, but I just started, and they told me I won't get a bag or a red card until I've delivered for a couple of weeks. Just thought you should know.
Do you have or can you do a video for deductions? How to calculate gas, maintenance, repairs ect... I put in work last week made abour $725 but nearly $300 in gas (18mi/gallon ugh) do I deduct gas from earnings then calculate taxes based on whats left of is it based on total earnings?
With winter coming, what do you recommend about trying to find apartments’ addresses in the dark? I based my decision on taking certain orders knowing fast food are usually apartment Renters. I also don’t take the bait with stack orders that are extremely low which Door Dash tries to sneak in all the time since that lame order has been declined by other dashers.
Hello, a subscriber recommended the Beans app which is GPS for apartments; I've been experimenting with that. DD also does a good job of showing you exactly which building to deliver to even within complexes. Last resort I'll stop at the complex map if I'm lost.
Hi! Thanks for the tips!
Do u know if its an apartment building or a certain neighborhood before u hit accept or do u have to accept the order to then see the details? I really only want to do residential houses.
it says that AFTER accepting. or i would decline apartments all day. however if u dont want to do it that badly u can unassign the delivery and doordash will ask why. say u dont wanna go to that residence
How do you unassign? I havent figured that out yet 🙁
@@erikasteck2395 Top right - can't do this order. But it does affect your completion rate.
Great advice.
Do you keep track all your miles during your whole session . Or turn on and off in between trips
I track until I’m done for the day.
thank you for the info
Great tips man!
When your waiting for a stacked order is it after you already accepted an order and wait a minute before you pick it up/going inside?
Just started today! Thanks for the tips!
Red card orders: Placing the order yourself.
I'm so nervous to start trying this gig economy thing man... I'm signed up to drive for a bit today. We'll see how it goes I guess
nothing to be nervous about, very simple. Only tough "factor" is long wait times - finding houses
i juat got accepted by doordash--per the app--they don't send you the hot-bag until after you have completed your first dash. What type of first dashes can I/should I accept that wouldn't require a hot-bag?
More excellent info! Thanks!!
Thanks again for a great Video. So helpful, and great reminders for even some of us drivers that have been in the game for a bit.
Glad to help!
If you have a Tesla, this job is SO worth it. 4 hours of dashing is around 25-30% of my battery and I’m more open to taking a lot of orders. I live right near my capital and try not to take orders that cross the river into the shady part of town.
This is all new to me
I have 4 violations and still considered a top dasher I’m so lucky
Hi! Why is there a promos schedule I know you would get the same promos if you just click dash now. Is there any differences?
You can
Thank you for your door dash and uber eats videos!! Is there a way to start gps automatically when accepting a dash order? Or do i have to always click the google map button??
Thanks for the tips
I'm relatively new to this but i choose it due to making my own schedule and if my babysitter for whatever reason can't watch my daughter I'm not calling into work sick I just don't log in that day but on the other hand it's a small town and less than a year old in this town so not a whole lot of orders but my max delivery would be 2 miles if I went from one side of town to the other
Thanks so much
Should i watch my dash time or active time?
Active Time - time spent on a dash, from "Accept" to "Order complete" and Dash Time is total time spent "online" (from hitting dash now to hitting end dash).
I did my first dash yesterday and it was a disaster because my phone kept buffering and I never got the customers address so I had to return the product.
Started doing door dash a few days ago I had a decent and 2 ehhh so so days and have had bad luck with the tipping should I not accept order that don't have tips 🙃?
Need 240 more to get $600 bonus!!! Wis me luck! Hey, nice video man!
I'm in San Diego. Thanks.
Serious question. Why do I care to "stand out" to restaurants because I purchased an extra door dash bag🎒? If anything that tip should be to keep more food fresh when you have multiple orders.
Just started dashing. The app will not give you any orders until your in the zone that your scheduled to work in. It tells you in a yellow banner to get back to the hotspot areas to receive an order. I sat in a non hotspot area and it was the only times i didn't get an order within 10 minutes.
How do you cancel a delivery? I can't figure that out.
Hello, go to "Help" and select the order then select cancel delivery.
Full breakdown: help.doordash.com/dashers/s/article/How-can-I-unassign-myself-from-an-order?language=en_US
When u say home u mean my house lol? I usually go sit at the mall close to many hot spots but the hot spots look confusing on the app sometimes I sit all morning
I don't like the new rule of having to be monitored 24/7 by DD now. Of course there is a work around but what right do they have of knowing where I am 24/7? Independent contractor?
Agreed.
So what I learned is that in my small state I'm not going to make hardly anything for money, I'll continue out of fun lol
Great!
Hey Mike - looking to maybe get into this business since I'm unemployed due to the Covid-19. How many miles do you typically drive on a normal or busy day?
Don’t doit, you will make more money with unemployment.
@@Tony-sx8mm leech off the gov and be a bum even when you can find jobs… sad!!!!!
I really want to know what I need to do for paying for taxes by myself? Thank you.
联系会计师事务所然后把你一年DOORDASH挣的明细带上，美国这边是每年4月开始报税
I know you can write off business expense like mileage but does Doordash and Ubereats count toward your social security earnings history? Like you mentioned you need to set aside some money for taxes at the end of the year but once you deduct all that mileage it reduces your social earnings.
Hi Roman, I can't answer that one. I would consult with the appropriate financial advisor
Hate when it does that 😠 I am scheduled for one zone and than it slowly pushes me way away from my zone because it gives me other orders and I end up wasting so much gas.
Make sure to check that dollars:mile also make note of the ending destinations before accept so you'll know what you're getting yourself into as far as positioning.
See I get everything but I just don’t get the taxes and mileage
I don't do the zone I live in.I do the one East of me.Alit easier than the one I live in
Is it normal to not receive the welcome kit (bag and red card?) I never got mine :(
whats that spreadsheet? got any links for to save for it? deductions column must be some formula?
Where do I find the Dasher store ... Is it in the app? My red card and bag are lost in the mail. Post office has no idea where the package is. Is there a way to track your mileage?
I'll never had early access. Every door dash order I've taken is jacked up. I've even had customers yell at me about drinks they didn't order that weren't on any ticket or in the app during a contactless delivery. They never ordered the drink at all. When the app glitched and Gave me a 25 miles order it said was 5 miles away... I logged out and never went back.
When people do orders for say walmart do people just throw them in the back seat or use like rubbermaid container or something? I always use my hot bags for other orders but for big grocery orders idk, I'm not the best at keeping my car super cleaned out..
What if you're in an area that you know is busy due to the fact that you're surrounded by restaurants but the app is saying "schedule" instead of "dash now"? Is there a way to change it to "dash now"?
there are probably already too many dashers in your area so the only option is to schedule
@@yyaksok5039 thanks ma'am. 👍🏽
Stay in the higher class areas and the restaurants that u have received big tips for. Try and take those places. And drive like a grandma if u want . Most customers wait for u to leave before they grab there food. So spend a lil more time in front of there house and u will see u make more Haha it's funny be more confident then the costumers
