Hi Pedro, I am a Door Dash customer, I work from home and I use it atleast 5 to 10 a week, most orders are from places no more than a 1/2 to 2 miles away. I always give good tips, gift cards during the holidays. I realize it's not easy work, dealing with difficult merchants, the wear and tear on your car, gas prices...etc... I think your giving good tips here in this video , I can't believe some people don't tip, that's ridiculous. Customers should know that your pay from Door Dash is bulls#@t and your tips are so important...keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
I like your comment, Celena!! I just started Door Dashing 3 weeks ago. I wish there were more people that thought the same as you..You are very considerate-- Thank You👍🏽💎!
Just wanna put this out there - I seriously think you could be a motivational speaker. I never thought I'd be so captivated by a video on how to do deliveries. I am about to start my first week of DoorDash and your content seriously motivated me and I think it will help me a great deal. Thank you man
Totally agree I sat thru a bunch other video's but this channel is the best. Gives you the information you need an in a way that kept my attention!.Love this guy!!
This guy is the reason i stopped selling drugs and decided to get a legit job. Doordash has changed my life. Crazy to think i was selling Fentanyl to minors just a year ago
My hubby and I dashed for the first time last night! We had the BEST time and made $56 in a little over 2 hours. We said it was like being on the Amazing Race and getting paid for it. This video cleared up a few of our questions. 😊
I just don't get taking somebody to work with you like dashing as a couple😮😮😮 it's just weird if I order doordash and you can with 2 or 3 people I don't want that food that's just gross n what other job can you bring somebody else to work with you. Imagine you're an Uber driver and then you pull up with your husband in the car cuz you don't want to drive alone stop it....
Another great tip: TAKE PICS ALL THE TIME. TAKE PICS, TAKE PICS.....trust no one because there are ppl out here trying to get "FREE" food and will "LIE" and say "they never got it". PLZZZZZ TAKE PICS NO MATTER WHAT.
I never take pics because my phone be acting up but then I was like I have to start taking pics because I've heard of ppl saying they didn't get their order
I use my dash camera. I always pull in the driveway so that I get a pic of the house at the very least. Even a "hand it to me" can say they never got their order it happened to my husband but he had dash cam to prove he was there and they were sitting on the porch in the picture!
I’m only 5 mins in and I can tell this video is exactly what I’m looking for. I like to have everything explained in detail so I feel comfortable with what I’m doing, thanks for taking the time to make this.
We all got bills to pay nine times out of 10 that's not going to pay off. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses. Take note of which restaurant have decent staff and which ones are legitimately busy. In my area Cafe Rio and Cafe Ole can be really bad if I have the room to drop orders I will take a chance on them if not I will pass
I dashed for the first time today and I made about $58 in 4 hours & used about $18 in gas😂 I’m in good spirits tho and I know I’ll get better! Thanks for the tips💕
@@anthonypeterson9686 it still something, always important to count your blessings use little wins as motivation & losses as learning. Hope you doing better by now.
I did my first day yesterday. I took 6 orders. It took about 2 hours and 23 minutes of active time. I made $33.05. Only one person tipped more than a dollar. Gas? About $7
All the space blanket is is a first aid blanket. They are very useful to help keep the temp, and excellent to wrap those pizzas that won't fit in a pizza bag. When I first started back in 2017 I had an order with 8 pizzas and no pizza bag. So I wrapped them in the space blanket and carried them into the customers business like that and it was for a lunch meeting and everyone (x6) in the room pulled cash out and tipped me $5.
My dude I just wanna say thanks for taking the time to make this video. I know there are a lot out there but you were straight forward and honest about everything. My first 8 hours dashing I pulled in $202.25!!! All using your methods, especially not wasting time on no tip orders and miles to money ratio. Looking forward to making more money. Much love and respect Pedro!!!
Wish I had seen this my first day driving, I was taking every order that popped up 😂wasted a lot of gas and made little money. I learned by the second day what not to do.
Good video! Started dashing one year ago and there was more money due to Covid. Started up again and was barely making $30 for 3/hrs because I was taking $5.00/orders like 15/miles?! Didn’t know you could decline orders and now I’m making over $25/HOUR!!!
One thing I’d like to add, as a customer who uses DoorDash quite frequently I like to tip in cash, so that way my dasher gets 100% of it and right away in their pocket. I put this in the instructions part of my order so I know you can’t see that until after you accept it. Since it sounds like you can kind of tell when people are tipping versus not but maybe just be mindful of the people that may do things this way. You never know what kind of order you may be turning down potentially 😊
I think your video is outstanding. Not just for newbies, but experienced DD drivers also. I've done DD for about 20 months, completed about 4700 deliveries, and still learned something about unassiging a stacked order. Thank you for the time that you take to help others! I'm appreciative of you!
Let me tell you every morning I go and look for your new uploads and while I’m dashing I literally listen to all of your videos you have got to be one of the most positive people I have ever listen to and I cannot thank you enough please keep doing what you’re doing because it does make a difference in our day
I'm new like literally after I finish watching this video I'm going to do a couple runs.,Thanks for your help. I drove for Uber/Lyft for 3 years and never wanted to do order pickups but I'm going back out there because Momma need money for her family 🙂
wow im only one week in and ive been doing it allllll wrong 😂😂😂 my phone just so happened to break on me so i decided to use this time to learn a thing or two and im SO glad things happened the way they did! now im going to start off again super strong with all of this new knowledge!
I truly can't thank you enough for this video I just started doordashing not even four days ago and it's been really confusing accepting orders and ending up 20 minutes away from my area you just taught me a lot about accepting dashes. This was a amazing video and I will for sure share it and shared along with others
I'm a new dasher and ya this video helps a lot! Especially given door dash basically tells you nothing due to pandemic. Its basically figure it out on your own. Thank you for showing new dashers how to use their app.
First night doing DD and this was an EXCELLENT video! Motivated and inspired by your thorough knowledge and explanation step by step. It's so appreciated. You bring down my anxiety level and raise my confidence level. Thanks and keep up the great instructional videos!🤙🏾🙏🏽
I started today and it was pretty cool. Made $42 for 2 active hours. Only did 6 orders but the lowest paying was $6. Can't wait to try it out in a closer city. DD always sends the busy and peak notifications for it. 😁
You are awesome and I have to deliver pizza for a long time and have been the only one working for a long time with two kids. I finally decided Door Dash is what I am going to do. Tomorrow I start door dashing for the first time and I am scared out of my mind. You are the FIRST VIDEO I HAVE WATCHED ON HOW TO START DOOR DASHING. You make me feel like I got this, so I want to say thank you. I have been only making maybe $30 max in tips a night. I have no deliveries available and almost no money available to drive to another town to do this, but I just now was notified of your live video even though I have been watching your video for almost 3 hours taking notes. The closest town I have to me is an hour and a half to me, so wish me luck friend because I need it for me and my 2 girls to make this work. Again Thank you for your positive inspirational work and NO YOUR NOT BUYING US YOUR INSPIRING US. SCREW THE ONES WHO SAY THAT, THEY ARE JUST JEALOUS.
Great video! I wish this was around when I was starting out! When it comes to special instructions I find that using the app to text the customer makes a huge difference. If you establish that communication with them, you can give status updates, they can give you gate codes to their building and give you more detail on the special instructions. Most importantly, by texting the customer, they are much more likely to give you a higher tip and a better dasher rating.
Pedro, Fantastic job!!! I just signed on with Door Dash 3 weeks ago. And I'm so glad that I ran across your video (Great Teacher 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍🏽!!!) And I agree...you should become a Motivational Speaker--as your side hustle to your other side hustle☺👍🏽..Thank you!!
I wanted to thank you for this. I use Doordash multiple times a week to places only a few miles away. I love that you mention how much the drivers get so I can consider my tip even more. I always tip at least 4.00 more for farther away places. I like that you suggest the notes. I give better directions because Dashers used to get lost, plus I have a note on my door saying please don't knock. So I don't bother my elderly mom while getting her food. Great job. This was helpful for dashers and clients as well.
Hello Pedro, been dashing for about 3 yrs now, 1st full time, now part time as with all the high gas prices & crap my motivation went down hill.. I know stay positive !!! just found you & let me just say… thank you thank you, I learn a lot of stuff that I never knew before
Crap hit the send & wasn’t finished, can you tell I’m an old chick & tech illiterate🤣🤣🤣 anyway as I said before I learned a lot today and you got my motivation going! I actually went back to my corporate job at Harris Teeter paying 1075 an hour standing up all day working my butt off and I’m thinking what was I thinking anyway even with the gas prices the way they are, you can still make money if you keep your eye on the prize!! #B.0.Y. #no tip no food 2.0 #set goals, plus I’m sure there are many many more! Just wanted to say I like your style you’re very motivating and keep up the good work and thank you so much take care and cheers 🍻🇺🇸 Stay safe! Just got a new sub & like 😃😊🇺🇸😃😊🇺🇸😃😊🇺🇸😊
You are amazing! I'm new driver I've watched a lot of videos and yours is by far the best and easy to understand.I've been so nervous the few times I've gone out.You have given me confidence that I CAN DO THIS! Thank you.
I have checked out several TH-camr Dashers... and by far, your channel is the FIRST one that I have found valuable. Great PRO tips! I award you with the TOP DOOR-TUBER!!!! (and WE thank you)
Very thorough. Thank you for the tips and strategies. My son is 18 and just getting started. He just got his license and is looking to earn income on his terms. This video definitely will help him get started.
He should most definitely do it i turned 18 in July and I’ve been doordashing since November i average around 600-800 a week from DoorDash i make about 20+ an hour its definitely a good hustle and they pay you back for mileage when tax season comes around
Thank you for showing live door dash. It gave me less anxiety starting. did my first dashes today. Was utilizing many of the tips you gave. So thank you. Very helpful.
Other comment aside, this is a fantastic video for newbies and vets alike! That unassign at the 22 minute mark to get left with a short $7 order was golden.
I just signed up with DoorDash a few days ago but have been hesitant to get started even after watching some of their short two minute TIPS videos from other Dashers. But after finding you just now and watching this video as my first video on YT, I’m jumping in and starting TONIGHT!
Being new, I accepted a 7.1 mile order the other day. I didn't know it before, but afterwards I checked the $$ amounts of it and they tipped $15.00. Well worth the drive there and back to my hot spot.
I accepted an order for Petco yesterday lol. I didn't know we deliver pet food too. There was One big bag of dog food and a smaller bag. Thankfully I had a luggage carrier in my trunk to bring it to front door. But I still had to lift that big bag to put it on their front door step. I'm never stopping at a pet store again. I didn't sign up to be lifting heavy things. You inspired me to do better today and I did. Thank you 🙏
Thank you! Very helpful for a beginner. I called door dash to use my vip helper service the second day ....I remember them telling me NEVER to unassign....hahaha!!
Hey Pedro I just started dashing yesterday 03/2722 in my small town and you taught me a lot so far I love this job but only do it around my other job keep the teaching coming thank you
Just started yesterday and boy was it ROUGH! First order the dang store was closed, stupid McD's. Immediately ruined my completion rating and the 2nd was stacked and I had no idea what to do. I was a hot mess! I wish I found you video before that dumpster fire as it would have saved my first time out. Still learned a ton from you and I feel better prepared to handle a shift with some of these great tips. Thank you so much for all the great break down!👍👍👍
Dude, I just got approved to start dashing, and I have learned SO MUCH MORE from your videos about how to use the app and navigate the app then emails from DoorDash. Thank You!
This tutorial is amazing you kept my attention you weren’t boring and you explained everything so good. I’m dashing today for the first time wish me luck!
I dash in the denver area usually able to secure 150 to 200$ in 6 to 7hrs Make more dashing than my main job might just dash full time at this point Another tip portable charger ftw
You are awesome ! I did my first dash this past weekend. I was so nervous about declining orders so I screwed up a lot on money to miles ratio, however, I’m new and learning. I did learn in my area on Sunday am Bojangles is sooooo slow and out of certain foods !
REEEEally helpful Pedro !!!!! i am just starting . did 3 hours 11 min and made 45.48 USD . that was the 'tryout" not much after tax and Gas and mileage. now after watching this video . hopefully getting it together better ! thanks brother Pedro
I don’t even want to door dash but enjoyed the video. I find it interesting how the whole process works. A lot of good information. Keep up the good work.
The best tutorial/tip guide ever! I was wondering how to check the deliver to address as some areas in my State are literally MURDER. Thank you so very much. I did my first Dash yesterday and boy do I wish I would have seen this first lol.
This video is old I see but boy did you help me. I was new and didn't even realize "garbage orders". Now I know and my pay has really increased and my tips outweigh that awful doordash pay! Thank you for the tips. They are really appreciated.
Thank you for going back to basics. It’s good to review from time to time. Since I’ve been watching your channel, now my tips are always higher than base pay DoorDash pay. Keep up the motivation 😁
This is one of the best video on door dash that I’ve seen. And new dashes should listen to this video keenly to get some real tips on how to make profitable money and understand the app.
I'm going to start tomorrow. Our town is relatively small. My university degrees didn't prepare me for this but I was in the food business, from fast food management to high end full service, before and after college. I'm 62 but in great shape and my hubby can ride with. Thanks for all the pointers. Here goes..........
The biggest tip I suggest is knowing your market. It's super important. If you know let's say from 3pm-5pm there's a lot of traffic that's a time you could take your break and then dash from 6 to whenever u want. There's a lot of tips and tricks and a lot of them are useful. Thanks, Santiago. Sometimes schedule and sometimes I don't. It all depends on the day but having some sort of schedule is super important.
Joined but not first delivery yet. My area with no open times. All has to be scheduled. Love you brother! Informative if I can get some work in my area.
we should all as drivers turn down every no tip order just out of principle until door dash forces 10% tip minimum.. anything less is just ridiculous..
They may be thinking the door dash fee is the tip. Otherwise I can't see why no one would not tip. Don't they charge a delivery fee or something? That's NOT paid to the driver?
You can’t have employees who receive no base pay… it would be even more illegal… they know that they are forcing many new employees to deliver at a rate that costs them as opposed to earning because they purposely try to influence their behavior by rating them based on accepting. This means door dash receives a base pay for no work while we hoof it for a rate that translate to us paying to work
After watching this video, I feel like I can do this. Especially since I got out and did Door dash with no experience or watching any video. 🤦♀️ is how it went. So Thank you.. so much. For the detailed info
I'm starting tomorrow. So anything I can learn before I start, I'm sure will help me. I've been reading for literally 8 days trying to learn everything I could online, (the 8 days I was waiting for the background check to complete) but just tonight found the videos on YT. It's more real time info and useful I'm sure for my 1st day. Good Luck to you on Dashing.
Today was my first day. I did two orders I did forget to take a picture of the first order and with the second order the app closed and logged me out. I was nervous the whole time but I am confident for tomorrow 😊😊
I’m starting Monday and having my bf be in the car with me. I need to clean my car before I start because it’s a mess right now ahha. Gonna clean it then pay to get it detailed when I make my moniessss! But yeah I’m a young girl so I’m nervous someone will think they can be rude to me or I’ll go into a scary place like hotel or apartment building :/ so that’s why I’m having my bf come with me for a few of them
@@tinkerbellys it’s not as scary as you think but do stay alert ☺️ I had to deliver to a hotel one night smh I had my mom on the phone the whole entire time I got to the door knocked reached my arm out as far as it would go to hand the food to the person and left fast af lol
Great video Pedro. Only suggestion: when you hold phone up to camera, please hold it there steady just a bit longer. It's very hard to see what you are referring to when you flash the phone in front of camera for less than 3 seconds. You know what you are pointing at, but as a new DAsher, I don't. Thanks!
Dude! Thank you so much for doing this! I’m a month in and I’m addicted. I live in a pretty rural area so I haven’t been checking miles before I go and some of them haven’t been worth it. At the moment, I’m in ACCEPT and go but I’m learning quickly that isn’t efficient. Gonna check out more of your videos now. Thanks bro!
3rd day out today. This video explained a lot that I didn't know and some I've learned on my own. Not in nearly as big a market but a lot still applies. Liked and subbed!
I just started dashing and this video was so very helpful. Thank you very much for this. Also, the video was very engaging and even entertaining. Keep it up my bro, definitely subbing.
As a customer it sucks when drivers stack orders. I had a driver go right past house AFTER the DoorDash app said they were approaching. Then he finally delivered it about 20 minutes later. More often than not I have a terrible experience if the driver takes additional orders (stacks). Now, I don't necessarily blame this on the driver since DoorDash allows it. But I just know as a customer when I see the driver has additional stops that I'll get cold food. It's really a gamble when ordering. I would gladly pay extra in my tip if I was guaranteed a direct delivery with no stacking. I wish they allowed for this.
I don't even do delivery jobs, but I was captivated by your amazing video, sir! I have often fantasized about quitting my job and just gigging. Maybe one day.
it's a good thing that most if not all you more experiences drivers don't do low pay and or without a tip! that leaves room for the newbies to take on. when I started I didn't know anything and would just take any order just to learn the area and how everything works! with more experience I'm sure I will learn to escape that threshold and work my way around that.
If door dash is paying below minimum wage, not requiring tips or increased rate without tips or limits on distance for delivery without tips… then door dash is putting their employees in a situation where they are actually paying to work and deliver ppl their foods etc
Recently with inflation I have been getting 100% do not disturb porch drop offs with only base rate of pay and distances exceeding triple the dollar per mile ratio at minimum… my issue with this is two fold. One those deliveries take me multiple zones out of my target area, which lowers my rate of assignment and costs me twice over for a return trip that’s unpaid. We need compensation from the ppl ordering who decide they are going to attempt the listing(as like a penalty fee for a service that exceeds the common fairness between customer and employees). Secondly, with gas at 6$/gal and an average of 20 mi per gallon(a fair estimate as many employees are getting less) door dash negatively impacts your experience and rate of pay by penalizing those who frugally choose their customers based on the price point. In essence, door dash is bullying their employees into accepting 25 mi deliveries for a base rate of pay only, which often means getting 3$ for these round trip deliveries. Door dash penalizes you by lowering your acceptance rate score which in turns lower your rate of being assigned orders. They are creating a environment where the more ruthless customers have already learned that they can get away with these types of orders and make us struggling people actually pay in stead for the privilege of delivering food to people who use the app and instead of providing for the poor employee, the benefits solely reside with door dash for being known as the app that gets away with legalized slavery. Imagine if a waitress had to pay for each step she took in a restaurant and the only income she was recieving was a small stipen equivalent to 3% of every table and every table had a cap of 10$ maximum spent… because everyone of these orders are single meal orders!
I love your tips and tricks. Thank you so much. I always accept anything $5 and up. But I realized from your T&T’s that I need to pay closer attention to how many miles I’m going to travel. Omg 😳 I hope when I start tomorrow, Monday that it doesn’t turn into a floppy Monday. I need the money badly but I can’t stand dashing for low tippers and long travels either.
Im out here in Utah and Im really liking the information you give! Keep it going!! This is a Perfect Job for anybody Who needs a little extra Cash and it will take care of all margins the budget! (yours and the ones you help) Deliver people... help me, help you! Thanks 4 the tips....
There is an Italian restaurant in my area that places orders (that aren’t pizzas!) in big cardboard trays. I use the space blanket to wrap around them when I have more than one (only one will fit in my large DD pizza bag).
One of the only problems with checking the items before you leave the restaurant right now is that some restaurants are still closing the bags and sealing them because of covid or at least they are in my area. So there's no way for you to check if the restaurant forgot something. 😕
THis is an awesome video. Covers nearly everything. Thank you for sharing. Helping us new beginners more than you know. I only do it part time, but I still try to have a goal in mind for the week. Also, I noticed my tips are right on...bay pase is lower, just as you stated! Love the BOY merch! Plan to get either the tee or hoodie.
Im still new first week but i feel like i caught on quick thanks to watching all these youtube video's on dashing.last night was good $2 peak pay till midnight then $3 peak pay real nice i wish i could have stayed till 5am. 🤣 im def going to be doing day and night shifts when i can do it.thanks for your tips!

Do calculate my active time or Dash time?
How do you dash anytime
Can you help me!!!
Hi Pedro, I am a Door Dash customer, I work from home and I use it atleast 5 to 10 a week, most orders are from places no more than a 1/2 to 2 miles away.

I Love the Amazing Race Analogy... So True!!! :)
Definitely fun to pair up. Especially at night or lunch time crunch
I love it 🥰!
I just don't get taking somebody to work with you like dashing as a couple😮😮😮 it's just weird if I order doordash and you can with 2 or 3 people I don't want that food that's just gross n what other job can you bring somebody else to work with you. Imagine you're an Uber driver and then you pull up with your husband in the car cuz you don't want to drive alone stop it....

I’m only 5 mins in and I can tell this video is exactly what I’m looking for. I like to have everything explained in detail so I feel comfortable with what I’m doing, thanks for taking the time to make this.
I've had a bad experience with door dash delivery drives and customer service so I don't use them anymore..
@@crystalwatson1541 Sorry about that. Would you like to provide a little detail about it? I just want to avoid others mistakes...
I waited 40 minutes today at Panera! I got a $5 adjustment thankfully. Turned out to be a $30 order for 6 miles. Patience pays off sometimes.
I agree! And sometimes it’s nice to take a little break while you wait
8 times out of 10 it doesn't
That’s rare don’t wait past 5 minutes ever!
We all got bills to pay nine times out of 10 that's not going to pay off. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses. Take note of which restaurant have decent staff and which ones are legitimately busy. In my area Cafe Rio and Cafe Ole can be really bad if I have the room to drop orders I will take a chance on them if not I will pass
I have never ever gotten an adjustment for waiting. Must be only in some markets.
Love how you talk about your "girls" and love your girl dad hat. You are such a good guy. Your family is blessed.
I dashed for the first time today and I made about $58 in 4 hours & used about $18 in gas😂 I’m in good spirits tho and I know I’ll get better! Thanks for the tips💕
How many miles to the gallon do you get? $18 doesn’t sound right.
5 and a half hours and I spent 26$ an made 90$ … very mehhh
@@anthonypeterson9686 it still something, always important to count your blessings use little wins as motivation & losses as learning. Hope you doing better by now.
You need a gas efficient car to make money at door dashing for sure. 30mpg or better is best, otherwise you don’t make decent money at all
I did my first day yesterday. I took 6 orders. It took about 2 hours and 23 minutes of active time. I made $33.05. Only one person tipped more than a dollar. Gas? About $7
Not my first time using DoorDash but this tutorial is extremely helpful even if you aren’t new! Great video 🙂
Glad to help
Agree I’m not new to this but this is some more knowledge for our selves. Thanks bro
@@danielsalgado32 💪🏼
Yes, I agree!
All the space blanket is is a first aid blanket. They are very useful to help keep the temp, and excellent to wrap those pizzas that won't fit in a pizza bag.

My first 8 hours dashing I pulled in $202.25!!! All using your methods, especially not wasting time on no tip orders and miles to money ratio. Looking forward to making more money. Much love and respect Pedro!!!
Wish I had seen this my first day driving, I was taking every order that popped up 😂wasted a lot of gas and made little money. I learned by the second day what not to do.
Uggh that's the part I can't seem to get😩 this is my 2nd day and I feel like I'm all over the place😩
Good video! Started dashing one year ago and there was more money due to Covid. Started up again and was barely making $30 for 3/hrs because I was taking $5.00/orders like 15/miles?! Didn’t know you could decline orders and now I’m making over $25/HOUR!!!
One thing I’d like to add, as a customer who uses DoorDash quite frequently I like to tip in cash, so that way my dasher gets 100% of it and right away in their pocket.

If you tip the dasher on the app the tip 100% goes to the customer and they will be able to get it right away in their pocket as well. 😇

THis video is a little long but I think it has some great tips for dashers..... especially new ones! Thanks for the love and support!!

Next time up the speed and you can get through the video faster
For the amount of information you covered, the time is totally worth it. Great video, I wouldn't change a thing!
You’re awesome thank you so much!!
I think "thank you" were the words you were looking for.
Have done 9 hours the last 2 days and have made $180 on 3/4 of a tank.
Trying to optimize profit as much as possible as I learn 🙏🏻
Wow, you did really good.
I think your video is outstanding. Not just for newbies, but experienced DD drivers also. I've done DD for about 20 months, completed about 4700 deliveries, and still learned something about unassiging a stacked order. Thank you for the time that you take to help others! I'm appreciative of you!
Let me tell you every morning I go and look for your new uploads and while I’m dashing I literally listen to all of your videos you have got to be one of the most positive people I have ever listen to and I cannot thank you enough please keep doing what you’re doing because it does make a difference in our day
Thanks! You are 1 of the original supporters of this channel and I’m humbled to hear you say that! 🙏🏼
A great addition to the app would be adding automatic 15% gratuity on orders that don't tip
I'm new like literally after I finish watching this video I'm going to do a couple runs.,Thanks for your help. I drove for Uber/Lyft for 3 years and never wanted to do order pickups but I'm going back out there because Momma need money for her family 🙂
🙏🏼🙏🏼
wow im only one week in and ive been doing it allllll wrong 😂😂😂 my phone just so happened to break on me so i decided to use this time to learn a thing or two and im SO glad things happened the way they did! now im going to start off again super strong with all of this new knowledge!
For some reason your phone broke, and it put you in learning mode, instead of mistake making mode. I'd say, "God works in mysterious ways" 🙏
I truly can't thank you enough for this video I just started doordashing not even four days ago and it's been really confusing accepting orders and ending up 20 minutes away from my area you just taught me a lot about accepting dashes. This was a amazing video and I will for sure share it and shared along with others
I'm a new dasher and ya this video helps a lot! Especially given door dash basically tells you nothing due to pandemic. Its basically figure it out on your own. Thank you for showing new dashers how to use their app.
I felt the same way, ohhh you got a car,clean record, welcome aboard and good luck,lol. Thank God for TH-cam, dash on.
I am learning the ropes before actually starting this weekend and your video has been very straightforward and helpful. Great video Boricua!👍🏽
From Puerto Rico?
First night doing DD and this was an EXCELLENT video! Motivated and inspired by your thorough knowledge and explanation step by step. It's so appreciated. You bring down my anxiety level and raise my confidence level. Thanks and keep up the great instructional videos!🤙🏾🙏🏽
I started today and it was pretty cool. Made $42 for 2 active hours. Only did 6 orders but the lowest paying was $6. Can't wait to try it out in a closer city. DD always sends the busy and peak notifications for it. 😁
I know this video was years ago, but I’ve been thinking about doing DoorDash. This video was so detailed, I loved it! Thank you!
You are awesome and I have to deliver pizza for a long time and have been the only one working for a long time with two kids. I finally decided Door Dash is what I am going to do. Tomorrow
I start door dashing for the first time and I am scared out of my mind. You are the FIRST VIDEO I HAVE WATCHED ON HOW TO START DOOR DASHING. You make me feel like I got this, so I want to say thank you. I have been only making maybe $30 max in tips a night. I have no deliveries available and almost no money available to drive to another town to do this, but I just now was notified of your live video even though I have been watching your video for almost 3 hours taking notes. The closest town I have to me is an hour and a half to me, so wish me luck friend because I need it for me and my 2 girls to make this work. Again Thank you for your positive inspirational work and NO YOUR NOT BUYING US YOUR INSPIRING US. SCREW THE ONES WHO SAY THAT, THEY ARE JUST JEALOUS.
Taryn… you are in India or Eastern Africa ? Just wondering
Thank you for saying this. Everyone acts so cool but it makes me anxious too lol
Great video! I wish this was around when I was starting out! When it comes to special instructions I find that using the app to text the customer makes a huge difference. If you establish that communication with them, you can give status updates, they can give you gate codes to their building and give you more detail on the special instructions. Most importantly, by texting the customer, they are much more likely to give you a higher tip and a better dasher rating.
Pedro, Fantastic job!!! I just signed on with Door Dash 3 weeks ago. And I'm so glad that I ran across your video (Great Teacher 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍🏽!!!) And I agree...you should become a Motivational Speaker--as your side hustle to your other side hustle☺👍🏽..Thank you!!
I wanted to thank you for this. I use Doordash multiple times a week to places only a few miles away. I love that you mention how much the drivers get so I can consider my tip even more. I always tip at least 4.00 more for farther away places. I like that you suggest the notes. I give better directions because Dashers used to get lost, plus I have a note on my door saying please don't knock. So I don't bother my elderly mom while getting her food. Great job. This was helpful for dashers and clients as well.
Hello Pedro, been dashing for about 3 yrs now, 1st full time, now part time as with all the high gas prices & crap my motivation went down hill.. I know stay positive !!! just found you & let me just say… thank you thank you, I learn a lot of stuff that I never knew before
Crap hit the send & wasn’t finished, can you tell I’m an old chick & tech illiterate🤣🤣🤣 anyway as I said before I learned a lot today and you got my motivation going! I actually went back to my corporate job at Harris Teeter paying 1075 an hour standing up all day working my butt off and I’m thinking what was I thinking anyway even with the gas prices the way they are, you can still make money if you keep your eye on the prize!! #B.0.Y. #no tip no food 2.0 #set goals, plus I’m sure there are many many more! Just wanted to say I like your style you’re very motivating and keep up the good work and thank you so much take care and cheers 🍻🇺🇸 Stay safe! Just got a new sub & like 😃😊🇺🇸😃😊🇺🇸😃😊🇺🇸😊
You are amazing! I'm new driver I've watched a lot of videos and yours is by far the best and easy to understand.I've been so nervous the few times I've gone out.You have given me confidence that I CAN DO THIS! Thank you.
Just started today , quick and easy money . I usually don’t take any orders under 8 bucks and over 7 miles away .
I have checked out several TH-camr Dashers... and by far, your channel is the FIRST one that I have found valuable. Great PRO tips! I award you with the TOP DOOR-TUBER!!!! (and WE thank you)
look at those sunbeams all around you wow ✨✨✨✨ no filter needed. You have lots of love from spirit all around you
☀️
Very thorough. Thank you for the tips and strategies. My son is 18 and just getting started. He just got his license and is looking to earn income on his terms. This video definitely will help him get started.
Glad it was helpful!
He should most definitely do it i turned 18 in July and I’ve been doordashing since November i average around 600-800 a week from DoorDash i make about 20+ an hour its definitely a good hustle and they pay you back for mileage when tax season comes around

Thank you for showing live door dash. It gave me less anxiety starting. did my first dashes today. Was utilizing many of the tips you gave. So thank you. Very helpful.
Thank you! I learned a lot from
You. I watched it at lunch today and did my first 2 dashes after work today. Success!!!
I am a new dasher and found this video very helpful!! Thank you for all you do!! 😊
You are so welcome! keep grinding!
Can u share your referral link ?
Phenomenol - dashing a month and so many things I still did not know - thanks my friend :)
🙏🏼
Other comment aside, this is a fantastic video for newbies and vets alike! That unassign at the 22 minute mark to get left with a short $7 order was golden.
Thanks! My unassigned game is strong
I just signed up with DoorDash a few days ago but have been hesitant to get started even after watching some of their short two minute TIPS videos from other Dashers. But after finding you just now and watching this video as my first video on YT, I’m jumping in and starting TONIGHT!
Being new, I accepted a 7.1 mile order the other day. I didn't know it before, but afterwards I checked the $$ amounts of it and they tipped $15.00. Well worth the drive there and back to my hot spot.
THANK YOU!! This was everything I needed to know for my first day tomorrow.
You got it!
How did it go?
Ahhh good luck!!
Inquiring minds want to know...how has it been working for DD? I am only a few weeks in and I love it.
I accepted an order for Petco yesterday lol. I didn't know we deliver pet food too. There was One big bag of dog food and a smaller bag. Thankfully I had a luggage carrier in my trunk to bring it to front door. But I still had to lift that big bag to put it on their front door step. I'm never stopping at a pet store again. I didn't sign up to be lifting heavy things. You inspired me to do better today and I did. Thank you 🙏
Thank you! Very helpful for a beginner. I called door dash to use my vip helper service the second day
....I remember them telling me NEVER to unassign....hahaha!!
Hey Pedro I just started dashing yesterday 03/2722 in my small town and you taught me a lot so far I love this job but only do it around my other job keep the teaching coming thank you
Just started yesterday and boy was it ROUGH! First order the dang store was closed, stupid McD's. Immediately ruined my completion rating and the 2nd was stacked and I had no idea what to do. I was a hot mess!
I wish I found you video before that dumpster fire as it would have saved my first time out. Still learned a ton from you and I feel better prepared to handle a shift with some of these great tips. Thank you so much for all the great break down!👍👍👍
Great channel. I started dashing about 3 weeks ago when my business started to slow more than normal. Some great tips and tricks for new dashers 🤙🏼
This "NEWBIE" is TRULY Thankful for your VIDEOS!!👍👍💯💯💯
i did my first dash yesterday, my goal was $100 and I made $53
How many hours did you work though and how many dashes did you complete?
@@Calihustla I don't even remember that was a month ago
@@kasandrahoffman6202 you can click on your last shifts and see the break down of time tips and base pay
Dude, I just got approved to start dashing, and I have learned SO MUCH MORE from your videos about how to use the app and navigate the app then emails from DoorDash. Thank You!
This tutorial is amazing you kept my attention you weren’t boring and you explained everything so good. I’m dashing today for the first time wish me luck!
I dash in the denver area usually able to secure 150 to 200$ in 6 to 7hrs
Make more dashing than my main job might just dash full time at this point
Another tip portable charger ftw
You are awesome ! I did my first dash this past weekend. I was so nervous about declining orders so I screwed up a lot on money to miles ratio, however, I’m new and learning. I did learn in my area on Sunday am Bojangles is sooooo slow and out of certain foods !
keep at it and you will learn your market and also what orders need t be declined!!
REEEEally helpful Pedro !!!!! i am just starting . did 3 hours 11 min and made 45.48 USD . that was the 'tryout" not much after tax and Gas and mileage. now after watching this video . hopefully getting it together better ! thanks brother Pedro
Doing my homework before jumping in. Thank you for the great video! Love the goal setting!!!
Same
Thinking about it
I don’t even want to door dash but enjoyed the video. I find it interesting how the whole process works. A lot of good information. Keep up the good work.
This is such a great video for new dashers! Keep up the great work Pedro!
Thank you
The best tutorial/tip guide ever! I was wondering how to check the deliver to address as some areas in my State are literally MURDER. Thank you so very much. I did my first Dash yesterday and boy do I wish I would have seen this first lol.
Glad I'm not the only one that has problems getting the 3 bars to click. Takes like 10 attempts.
They do it on purpose! Lol
This video is old I see but boy did you help me. I was new and didn't even realize "garbage orders". Now I know and my pay has really increased and my tips outweigh that awful doordash pay! Thank you for the tips. They are really appreciated.
Thank you for going back to basics. It’s good to review from time to time. Since I’ve been watching your channel, now my tips are always higher than base pay DoorDash pay. Keep up the motivation 😁
Great!
th-cam.com/video/iJBekWwbBQQ/w-d-xo.html
This is one of the best video on door dash that I’ve seen. And new dashes should listen to this video keenly to get some real tips on how to make profitable money and understand the app.
🙏🙏
Excellent, packed with information; love your specific examples. Rock on. Drive on.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm going to start tomorrow. Our town is relatively small. My university degrees didn't prepare me for this but I was in the food business, from fast food management to high end full service, before and after college. I'm 62 but in great shape and my hubby can ride with. Thanks for all the pointers. Here goes..........
I be delivering till 2-3 am and there were times I felt that I was told to drive into a dark alley, turns out to be the best tip lol
That happened to me recently! 😮Wowwww, that's funny! Although, it was a little creepy at the time...! Haha
Thanks for making this! New to DD and really appreciate this.
The biggest tip I suggest is knowing your market. It's super important. If you know let's say from 3pm-5pm there's a lot of traffic that's a time you could take your break and then dash from 6 to whenever u want. There's a lot of tips and tricks and a lot of them are useful. Thanks, Santiago. Sometimes schedule and sometimes I don't. It all depends on the day but having some sort of schedule is super important.
I did it last year. I wonder if its worth it this year with higher gas prices and people arent staying home. Also, it kinda messed me up on my taxes.
@@edwinsmith2827 gas prices have been coming down . $2.85-3 right now . Every market is different so it takes some time to find out what's right
For the ones that has to schedule, I think you have to complete at least or 20 deliveries to unlock anytime you want to dash.
Appreciate the video! Just started dashing today.. blinded how to use it. Lol butttt this fully broke everything down! Thank you ☺️
Glad it helped!
Joined but not first delivery yet. My area with no open times. All has to be scheduled. Love you brother! Informative if I can get some work in my area.
we should all as drivers turn down every no tip order just out of principle until door dash forces 10% tip minimum.. anything less is just ridiculous..
They may be thinking the door dash fee is the tip. Otherwise I can't see why no one would not tip. Don't they charge a delivery fee or something? That's NOT paid to the driver?
You can’t have employees who receive no base pay… it would be even more illegal… they know that they are forcing many new employees to deliver at a rate that costs them as opposed to earning because they purposely try to influence their behavior by rating them based on accepting. This means door dash receives a base pay for no work while we hoof it for a rate that translate to us paying to work
After watching this video, I feel like I can do this. Especially since I got out and did Door dash with no experience or watching any video. 🤦♀️ is how it went. So Thank you.. so much. For the detailed info
I'm starting tomorrow. So anything I can learn before I start, I'm sure will help me. I've been reading for literally 8 days trying to learn everything I could online, (the 8 days I was waiting for the background check to complete) but just tonight found the videos on YT. It's more real time info and useful I'm sure for my 1st day. Good Luck to you on Dashing.
A man with a wealth of knowledge.👍
🙏🏼🙏🏼
just got top dasher this month. it’s time to grind even more !
Today was my first day. I did two orders I did forget to take a picture of the first order and with the second order the app closed and logged me out. I was nervous the whole time but I am confident for tomorrow 😊😊
Go get it tomorrow!!!💪🏼
This is my first week dashing and this was helpful. Thank you. 😊
I’m new as of today and I’m just sitting in a parking lot because I’m scared and nervous af to start lol
How did it go?
@@toya8910 it actually went well
Thank you for asking
@@ushamackey I'm glad it went well for you I was scared last week it was my first week starting so I understand the worries
I’m starting Monday and having my bf be in the car with me. I need to clean my car before I start because it’s a mess right now ahha. Gonna clean it then pay to get it detailed when I make my moniessss! But yeah I’m a young girl so I’m nervous someone will think they can be rude to me or I’ll go into a scary place like hotel or apartment building :/ so that’s why I’m having my bf come with me for a few of them
@@tinkerbellys it’s not as scary as you think but do stay alert ☺️ I had to deliver to a hotel one night smh I had my mom on the phone the whole entire time
I got to the door knocked reached my arm out as far as it would go to hand the food to the person and left fast af lol
Great video Pedro. Only suggestion: when you hold phone up to camera, please hold it there steady just a bit longer. It's very hard to see what you are referring to when you flash the phone in front of camera for less than 3 seconds. You know what you are pointing at, but as a new DAsher, I don't. Thanks!
Dude! Thank you so much for doing this! I’m a month in and I’m addicted. I live in a pretty rural area so I haven’t been checking miles before I go and some of them haven’t been worth it. At the moment, I’m in ACCEPT and go but I’m learning quickly that isn’t efficient. Gonna check out more of your videos now. Thanks bro!
Keep grinding!!!
I just dont have the math brain to figure all that out quick enough to figure out if its good or not
3rd day out today. This video explained a lot that I didn't know and some I've learned on my own. Not in nearly as big a market but a lot still applies. Liked and subbed!
Hi new Dasher here!!!❤️❤️❤️I'm so excited
I just started dashing and this video was so very helpful. Thank you very much for this. Also, the video was very engaging and even entertaining. Keep it up my bro, definitely subbing.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Boricua! Just started dashing last week, these tips are super helpful, thanks brother!
As a customer it sucks when drivers stack orders. I had a driver go right past house AFTER the DoorDash app said they were approaching. Then he finally delivered it about 20 minutes later. More often than not I have a terrible experience if the driver takes additional orders (stacks). Now, I don't necessarily blame this on the driver since DoorDash allows it. But I just know as a customer when I see the driver has additional stops that I'll get cold food. It's really a gamble when ordering. I would gladly pay extra in my tip if I was guaranteed a direct delivery with no stacking. I wish they allowed for this.
Sounds like that driver doesn't know how to manage time efficiently or plan routes.
I don't even do delivery jobs, but I was captivated by your amazing video, sir! I have often fantasized about quitting my job and just gigging. Maybe one day.
Exactly what I need, im a newbie in this and I want to learn more and more. TIA
Welcome to the gig life
it's a good thing that most if not all you more experiences drivers don't do low pay and or without a tip! that leaves room for the newbies to take on. when I started I didn't know anything and would just take any order just to learn the area and how everything works! with more experience I'm sure I will learn to escape that threshold and work my way around that.
If door dash is paying below minimum wage, not requiring tips or increased rate without tips or limits on distance for delivery without tips… then door dash is putting their employees in a situation where they are actually paying to work and deliver ppl their foods etc
Recently with inflation I have been getting 100% do not disturb porch drop offs with only base rate of pay and distances exceeding triple the dollar per mile ratio at minimum… my issue with this is two fold. One those deliveries take me multiple zones out of my target area, which lowers my rate of assignment and costs me twice over for a return trip that’s unpaid. We need compensation from the ppl ordering who decide they are going to attempt the listing(as like a penalty fee for a service that exceeds the common fairness between customer and employees). Secondly, with gas at 6$/gal and an average of 20 mi per gallon(a fair estimate as many employees are getting less) door dash negatively impacts your experience and rate of pay by penalizing those who frugally choose their customers based on the price point. In essence, door dash is bullying their employees into accepting 25 mi deliveries for a base rate of pay only, which often means getting 3$ for these round trip deliveries. Door dash penalizes you by lowering your acceptance rate score which in turns lower your rate of being assigned orders. They are creating a environment where the more ruthless customers have already learned that they can get away with these types of orders and make us struggling people actually pay in stead for the privilege of delivering food to people who use the app and instead of providing for the poor employee, the benefits solely reside with door dash for being known as the app that gets away with legalized slavery. Imagine if a waitress had to pay for each step she took in a restaurant and the only income she was recieving was a small stipen equivalent to 3% of every table and every table had a cap of 10$ maximum spent… because everyone of these orders are single meal orders!
I love your tips and tricks. Thank you so much. I always accept anything $5 and up. But I realized from your T&T’s that I need to pay closer attention to how many miles I’m going to travel. Omg 😳 I hope when I start tomorrow, Monday that it doesn’t turn into a floppy Monday. I need the money badly but I can’t stand dashing for low tippers and long travels either.
can you do an updated version of this? Thanks!
Im out here in Utah and Im really liking the information you give! Keep it going!! This is a Perfect Job for anybody Who needs a little extra Cash and it will take care of all margins the budget! (yours and the ones you help) Deliver people... help me, help you! Thanks 4 the tips....
There is an Italian restaurant in my area that places orders (that aren’t pizzas!) in big cardboard trays. I use the space blanket to wrap around them when I have more than one (only one will fit in my large DD pizza bag).
Thank you I was looking for is I have been DD for 3 weeks and your info was so helpful
Thanks again
One of the only problems with checking the items before you leave the restaurant right now is that some restaurants are still closing the bags and sealing them because of covid or at least they are in my area. So there's no way for you to check if the restaurant forgot something. 😕
im just starting . I did 1 delivery prior to watchin your video and this was super helpful . thank you
THis is an awesome video. Covers nearly everything. Thank you for sharing. Helping us new beginners more than you know. I only do it part time, but I still try to have a goal in mind for the week. Also, I noticed my tips are right on...bay pase is lower, just as you stated! Love the BOY merch! Plan to get either the tee or hoodie.
🙏🙏
Im still new first week but i feel like i caught on quick thanks to watching all these youtube video's on dashing.last night was good $2 peak pay till midnight then $3 peak pay real nice i wish i could have stayed till 5am. 🤣 im def going to be doing day and night shifts when i can do it.thanks for your tips!
