Please watch: "MY DOORDASH NIGHT RECAP | $105, 8 Deliveries, 28 Miles | It's All About The Tips!"
• MY DOORDASH NIGHT RECA...
~-~~-~~~-~~-~
LOL. My first 'dash' was a 5 mile one way, 10 mile two way, 45 minute total. Made a grand total of $6
u got that much money because is very good area to work at people with money especially santa Monica and Venice ect that's all the doctor's and Lawyers live good strategy and parking is not that great
PRO ANGLER TV Agreed try that in downtown you will get no tips
im a student... dont have very much money etc i live on 7th st there are people here who have money and im sure youre generalizing but dont glorify this area as prestige there are too many bums here
Very true. People in Vegas are cheap.
EL TROQUERO just
You're exactly right, You have to drive the affluent areas.
Don't drive when there are "free" promotions (via Postmates/DoorDash). You'll end up driving back and forth to the same place (for different people) and getting $1~$2 tips. Driving back and forth for coffee isn't profitable...
Great tips! I absolutely agree! :)
How do I "avoid" those "free" things?
Wouldn't it be smarter for them to buy a coffee machine and coffee than do Doordash? LOL
Uber sucks.
Tell us something we don't know, LOL!
yeah maybe if they allowed us drivers to get tips then I wouldn't think so negative of them
They allow you to get tips.
Ruben Ramos no they dont
I made 25 dollars per hour, the entire time I've been working for Uber...
and I've been working like ten days. I only work a few hours a night and I've made nearly 700 bucks
Tip for more tips: Learn the power of hypnotizing customers to give more tips :P
You are in a good area my market does not tip like this no way near that, besides how are you seeing the tips for your orders I don't see the tip amount for each delivery in doordash.
I think the pay amount now is a lot less with DoorDash. Been doing it for 2 weeks and avg order I make is $6.80-8.25. Have you noticed anything that changed?
BabyMatrix27 I had a DD delivery in the Atlanta market yesterday for $21. Only two items and not much of a distance (everything is far in GA). I've had some as low as $5.93 and the $21 was the second of its kind. FYI... I've been delivering with them for about 20-25 days.
It varies wildly by area (affluent vs average) and market (upscale vs fast casual). That's not far off from what I've been averaging per order, but that's 2-3+ orders per hour for approx. $20+ an hour total. This is not a get-rich job, this is a be-your-own-boss while getting-by OK job (if FT) or a decent side gig (if PT).
It really pays to take advantage of high demand bonuses and to target the most profitable parts of town (even if they're further from home). Keep your ratings up (yes, all of them). Being selective with orders is ok, until it starts to affect how many orders you get total. But you can recover with some suck-it-up shifts. ;)
Thanks for the video. I think I'm going to look into these services as well.
Thanks for watching! If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line :)
This was three years ago, alot has changed. I also think this guy is a sales rep for one of/or both of these platforms.
that area your in is really good. Soo hang around the high end resturants?
Yes! That is part of the strategy - the best restaurants are the high end ones which also have the food ready quickly and are easy to park at and get in and out of quickly! It's all about finding your niche and go-to restaurants and also about being selective with which orders you take - remember that Postmates has no required acceptance rate so you should pick and choose the best orders.
The new update makes it so you can't see the customer location until after you confirm that you've picked up the order. So you could get an order for a restaurant in that area, and after picking it up, you will see the destination is half way across L.A. My friend working postmates has had pickups in Hollywood with dropoff in Burbank... then you have to go back to your cherry area on your own gas and time. It's a bum deal any way you slice it with on demand services for the drivers.
Just change your vehicle type to 'scooter', it will show you the order details beforehand and they won't let you drive too far since you are supposedly driving a scooter.
FSS2016 do you still get plenty of orders?? By the way that is an awesome idea😀
FSS2016 you silver tongue devil you! 😜
I do Uber and Lyft and I think you've convinced me in the food delivery service apps.
If you do Uber & Lyft, it's a good idea to at least have accounts with delivery apps so you can work when rides are slow. For me personally, I like delivery because I can stay local. With Uber, I never know where I'm going next or when I'll be home again. Also, the tips are great!
Rideshare Genius I'm planning on it.
Please keep me posted on how it goes for you!
Rideshare Genius Guys how is Instacart and Amazon Flex? I'm kind of tired of getting bad ratings on doordash because of the food being cold or it being late when it's the restaurant fault not mine.
How did it work out for you? Are you still doing them a year later?
Nice. Funny is that I am with the same companies, and I'm just getting started tomorrow. I live in the IE, but when I head to LA, I may hit up the celebrity areas and hopefully get some large tips.
I am 3 days into Door Dash and I have noticed that the Santa Monica and Brentwood areas are the busiest every day. I may have to hit those areas up on the weekend. I did the Beverly Hills area on Saturday, but it was still kind of slow, and the deliveries were mostly in West Hollywood and LA. So no major large tipping.
DD has been slow for me lately. I think they added to many drivers. I'd recommend working multiple apps!
Relentless 101 how has it been going man? I'm from the IE as well.
It has been going well. I mostly work in the Rancho Cucamonga area, and Fontana occasionally. The new pay model needs to be changes because it is taking $$ from drivers.
Relentless 101 always taking from drivers, well I'm going to be doing deliveries on motorized bicycles electric or gas, both are legal in D.C. area, just gotta register and insure. I think I can keep more money in my pocket that way. Easier around traffic, easy to park at any bike rack or metal post etc. Great on gas or no gas (ebike)!!!
These delivery jobs have reached saturation point. Your better off working for a catering company, deli, or pizza delivery.
yeah go with an independant company. These apps get too saturated with drivers, everyone thinks they will get rich and wants to be their own boss.
what is your opinion on uber trips received toward your destination being excluded from promotions? I found that out when I was far and wanted to go home..seems like a dick move.
Yeah, pretty annoying but better to have destination trip option than not have it
How are people tipping that much? For uber eats only 1 out of 10 people tip me and its usually $3. For these other apps do they tip u thru the app? Amd everyone tips?
Yes, all of the other apps allow tipping through the app. DoorDash and GrubHub have some of the best tips from my experience. Most customers tip
rhymegarden I agree. Most customers don’t tip. I give all the extras, arrive quickly and make sure the order is A+ and most don’t tip. I’m in Santa Monica. I now only take large orders and during blitz pricing. I calculated my earnings from tips this past Saturday and it worked out to 6.25 per hour after tips. Changing my strategy.
When Uber Eats started they didn't wish to include tips since they wanted to be the cheapest delivery service, they will give quests which will basically give you what you already deserve to have per mile. For example you should get 50 cents per mile which includes coming back to your area. They hold back some of that money per mile till you finish a quest to get your 2 more dollars per trip. To make matters worse, they finally allow the tip option but the customer has to 1: wait an hour to get an email, then 2: go into that email, then 3: rate you, then :4 tip. So half the time I am getting the tip the next day since who has time to babysit your email after eating, your tired, your going to watch a show after a long day then get ready for your next day. With Doordash, they assume that the driver should get a tip since he or she basically was your server. And think about the quality of the restaurants uber Eats started with, McDonalds. Already, they are in a mindset of cheap, so why would they tip you 5 or 10 dollars for junkfood which costs 1 to 3 dollars per item?
George Bennett when I order on ubereats it asks me in the app for the tip option. It's immediately after my food is delivered. I wonder if the app varies per area.
How long does it take for a prospective doordash driver to get approved before they can go out and deliver?
I applied on the website on Monday and was dashing by the end of the week (that was in late 2018). The background checks and all that went through right away, I was just waiting to get my gear in the mail (bag and credit card). Still happily dashing into 2019.
Be warned though, in many markets now (like mine here in Minneapolis) they no longer hold orientations. They just mail you your stuff and say "good luck". I _highly_ recommend watching YT videos by experienced dashers that do ride-a-longs, app overviews, and that give tips and tricks. ;)
I’m going to sign up also, in anticipation of people’s generosity. Yeah right!
i'm so excited to start postmates as my new side hustle job! i work monday-thursday so i have 3 day weekends, this job is perfect for me & im so excited!
HOW IS IT GOING?
go to college, get a high hour high pay job and you can make 130k + a year easily, and it's more worth it then running around delivering food and is hassle free depending on what job choice you pick, I suggest going into IT like my dad, he went to school for 6 years and makes 150k a year and I think anyone who puts their mindset to this can achieve it because nothing is impossible and time is learning and knowledge is > work meaning if you take your time learning you will overall make more money doing your occupation over the years which most people can't seem to comprehend as well as others.
My occupational goal is to earn 80k at least right off the bat from graduating college with a Ph.D.
This was less criticism and more of a spill of what my pov is, if you made it this far respond with a "Good luck" or "You can do it"
if not you don't have to but good luck to whatever job choice you decide on!
Well obviously, but a lot of these people are students that are trying to achieve that goal you mentioned down the line. For a lot of people, working in delivery is a stepping stone.
Suzy it's been 6 months from you're post...did you start? If so, can u share your experience? Thanks
Work is work.
DoorDash is getting worse, I'm not sure why..I used to get easy schedules when i first started 4 months ago, but now I cant work when I want to at all, they've gotta update or change their system.
I just started working today for Postmates today, not bad so far.
I think there are a couple things going on: 1) DoorDash is growing quickly - they are trying to balance the need for drivers with an increase in orders on their platform. As the market reaches stability, there will be slow times and extremely busy times.
2) This is just the slow time of year. From my experience, December and January, with the exception of NYE and holiday party weekends in December, are very slow months. Things will pick up towards the end of the month, but for now, just keep your options open (like you're doing with PM) and keep hustling! It will get better soon!! :)
Rideshare Genius yea, hopefully it picks up...i was signed into Doordash and Postmates at the same time last night and I only got calls for Postmates.
On the other hand, 2 days ago i got a 18 dollar tip with Doordash so i guess its all random
Some is definitely luck of the draw, but there are also patterns that you'll begin to notice. I do think it'll start to pick up soon! :) Here's hoping. Nice work on the $18 tip!
Red Rambo which one pays more out of them too
Marcus Taylor Overall Postmates. Doordash pays 5 dollars total + tips, and Postmates
$159 in 3.5 hours certainly isn't chump change and there are lots of Uber/Lyft How-to vids on the web. Are drivers concerned at all about the long-term and AI?
Because a future where the driver job becomes obsolete isn't that far off.
Too bad its not like that any more. Door Dash is stealing tips and not too many ppl tip big on Postmates because they charge so much for delivery.
Doordash doesn't steal tips - they subsidize, but that subsidy may include part of your tip. At least you won't get a $1.25 order on Doordash.
You look like a young Dennis Quaid!
LOL, thanks, rowelle!!! :)
I was contracted for eat-out-in which was bought out by grub hub.. so disappointed.. I went from $700 a week to 300.. I'm definitely going to apply for doordash and postmates.. thanks for the info
Have you signed up for GrubHub as well? I like that app a lot
u rock dude, I'm in San Diego are the food app in San Diego, I already drive for Lyft and Uber part time
Thanks, Oscar! Yeah, Postmates and DoorDash are definitely in San Diego. I'd recommend checking them out if you've already tried Uber and Lyft. The work is a little different - I actually enjoy it more. And I find it to be lower stress and much less mileage on my car while earning the same or more.
One thing you mentioned that is very true, you have to get it while the getting is good. There are too many players in the food delivery space, UberEats, DoorDash, OrderUp, GrubHub, Postmates, etc, not to mention local delivery services and in-house food delivery like Dominos, Panera Bread. Who knows which ones will survive long term and which ones are going to kick the bucket in a year or two.
Exactly! It seems like there's a new one every day. Only so many will survive... But it does also seem like delivery will be more and more common for anything and everything in the future.
I agree but delivery is pricey. Definitely not cheap for the consumer from what I see. I think it's whoever has the most efficient delivery system and provides the best experience. Idk... we'll see.
Of ALL of the different delivery services, which ones are worth signing up with and which ones blow? - deliv.co, wedeliver2you, doordash, grubhub, postmates, trycaviar, doorstepdelivery.
And also, what about uberontime? (you've already stated Ubereats is in the "blow" category)
Each app has pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses. It's good to sign up for a bunch and see which ones work best for you. So far from my experience, I would rank them GrubHub, DoorDash, UberEATS, Postmates, Caviar
I have read the apps reviews. and a lot of people say that they all problems with the apps all the time. Can't log in, can't receive any orders, receive orders without letting them know, their support is terrible, they don't solve their problems. Do you have the same problems?
Great question.... From my experience, all of these apps have bugs and issues. Support is pretty much non-existent in this industry as a whole. With Postmates and DoorDash, I have seen app issues here and there, but nothing that has prevented me from making money
I love using doordash I tip 10.00 but they need to fix the menus for taco bell I wanna order combos but they don't have it. Uber eats is good to but they kinda mess up alot. Postmate never try them but I'm give it a chance but I rather order from doordash the price idont care as long i get my order correct.
I don't know how you got so many in such a short period of time. OH WAIT, you're in LA with a FUCK ton of people. Here in Orlando you'd think there would be more because of travellers, but I'm getting max 1 an hour, and often it's fucking chick-fil-a, and they rarely tip. Soo I'm basically paying for gas.
It depends a lot on where you live, your proximity to the food outlets .
That sometimes happens as postmates tips can be unpredictable I got a $65 tip that hits hard quick then I remembered that I did a best buy order for a very expensive item that probably explains the high tip.
qjtvaddict Isn’t Postmates an app to deliver edible stuff or you can deliver electronics and everything else?
dude that is amazing 159 in 3 hours! I subbed to your channel. I just started doing postmates yesterday
Thanks for stopping by! I subbed you as well! :) Yes, that was a good run of orders that night... Not gonna happen every night, BUT my strategies definitely work for maximizing earnings - the big orders usually equal a big tip!
How does the schedule work as a driver ? Do you need to put your name on a list and reserve particular times ? Or is it like uber where you can go on anytime you want ? Thanks for sharing - very informative !
With Postmates you can log on whenever and wherever you want. With DoorDash you do need to be on their schedule but often you can schedule yourself on the spot and go online immediately. Or if you schedule yourself in advance, there's no harm in missing that shift
THIS IS BULLSHIT you just got lucky with those tips and companys like postmates doesnt pay shit they pay you a tiny delivery fee thats it. granted you gotta take the big nice restaurant orders but mainly you dont get paid real money from postmates only TIPS
hey man...can you PLEASE help me... i am trying so hard to work for doordash...and i cannot get signed up. i try to sign in and it says theres already an account with my email...then i click forgot password and it tells me they have sent me a link...but they havent...and i know how to check alllll my mail, spam and everything...it just isnt there..and i have NEVER been able to find anyone that u can actually send a message to with doordash... Can you help me? im incredibly desperate and im losing my mind. lol.
Yo, I drive in LA and im probably gonna use your bonus referral thingy for you cuz you convinced me (1 year with lyft) people suck, traffic SUCKS, and bad neighborhoods can kiss my mother fuc*#ing a$$. Yeah you know what i mean doncha hahahah
So yeah was going to call you but I dont see a number so ill try your email. Great vid. Everyone who drives for Uber/Lyft when you watch this video take a very personal attention to when he shows that he barly drove 19.5 miles. YOU HAVE NO IDEA how important this is, especially if you use your own car and believe me, as of Aug 28 2017 Lyft just RAISED ITS RENTAL RIDE REQUIREMENTS from 95 rides a week, to 120 rides a week = 17 rides 7 days (average 2 to 3 rides an hour) days a week or 20 rides 6 days a week. After 20 rides, u cant walk. And what they dont tell you is Uber is kicking the living SHIT out of lyft, so you wait.... and you wait. Good luck walking in a month.
Oh and im so glad it was a rental cuz I put like 25k miles on the car in like, 5 months. I said WOAHHHH so glad its not my car.
They dont tell you that. With food you routinely hop in and out of the car which has a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE impact on that very simple task... walking.
You got lucky. In my area (Charlotte NC) most people tip 2-5$, which Door-dash happily steals! Its because of their thieving company policies, I can honestly tell people working for Door-dash I make approximately 6-8 dollars an hour (before taxes) and I am at constant risk of losing my vehicle due to accidents or mechanical break-downs, and for police citations (parking isn't always easy). I am trying to find better gigs now, because Door-dash just DOES NOT PAY!
While I realize your guidelines and experiences may vary...I actually tried Postmates for the first time (and first time ever using my car to make money) and my very first order pickup had to be close to $80. 3 large pizzas, several sandwiches, chips and more. I delivered to a very wealthy looking gated community in Summerlin, NV (part of Las Vegas) where there was a nice Lexus in the driveway. I was greeted by a women who was anxiously waiting for me to deliver her food. Well...I was tipped a whopping $4.00 on an order that as mentioned earlier...had to be close to $80.00. So, she tipped me around 5%. The next delivery did not tip at all.
Hey, thank you very much for the vídeo, quick question.. can you work at the same time for postmates and Doordash? Or that will be a bad idea ?
Is all about luck not strategy because me and my neighbor we both have Postmates and I do the driving and he delivered the food and pick up the food so we can do it fast I made $24 dollars in 5 deliveries he make $8 lol both of us no tips and all the deliveries were in Hollywood we thought we could make good money since is busy yes is busy and is no parking so it was a nightmare and people don’t tip you so is all about luck like winning the lottery to find someone that is gonna give you a big tip the only thing I know is ain’t doing the shit anymore Gas and time is not worth it oh and both of us got a order from the same restaurant and while we were waiting for the food his order was cancel lmao 🤣 but it was weird because the soon it was cancel few seconds later I guy got in and ask for his order we were like tf how the fuck that happen so someone else got his order some how or both have the same order but he was their first and got cancel it didn’t make any sense but oh well Postmates rules I guess
I guess it’s on weekend. How can be a tip $21.99? Oh, order is $200. You know that this is not a daily basis. I even received a tip $26 for $80 order.
I haven’t laughed that hard in awhile all because of “Rusty, he’s just chillin’”.
And he was! That dog looked so kicked back it was comical :P
That was a killer view so ... well played. I wanted to be there too.
And killer video. I’m so all over this I can’t wait to get started. Apps being installed. Even if I don’t get fat tips it still sounds like a decent income for the task at hand. But yea, fat tips any day are better. Bottom line is work is good :-)
In Arizona I’m doing Postmates and DoorDash right now. I have drove for a few weeks I’ve only gotten one big order that gave me a 25$ tip. Otherwise it’s a lot of $5-$8 orders. I try to complete three per hour. It’s decent I don’t mind driving. I usually work in the dental field.
Do you feel safe when you delivered? I am debating whether i should join postmates but my concern is if safe... do you have any suggestions???
Hey Sonia, I feel safe when I deliver. I would suggest beginning in an area where you feel safe and comfortable and also working during the day to start. I've never had an issue myself. To me, I feel safer than driving passengers because no one is getting in my car
I'd suggest that if you always carry your official DD/PM/GH bag and ideally get a hat, or some car magnets, or something that clearly identifies you as a delivery driver. People are pretty familiar with services like Uber and DoorDash now, and know that the drivers *don't* (typically) handle cash (no point in robbing if there's no cash to be had).
And as RG suggested, stick to daylight hours and familiar parts of town. Once you get a bit more comfortable, and you will, then you can start dashing later or exploring different parts of town.
I am 20 years old and I know to be a uber and lyft you have to be 21 I have been doing research on food delivery apps and noticed that GrubHub is 19+ , postmates doesn`t really say. Also can you give feed back on other delivery job opportunities like instacart, uber food, door dash, and grubhub? Im debating on which to do and or if they even allow 20yr olds to do it
Hi! did a few deliveries for those two and never had such a huge tip. In fact, sometimes I got no tip and ended up being 4.10 for like a half hour or more (and there was nothing wrong with the order and I was nice too). Also, now you don't know if there is a blitz or not with Postmates and DoorDash, for me was really really bad. Also, it is not like you can choose or you like will know how big the delivery is before you accept or how far you need to take it to, but you can't ignore many deliveries. And parking to get the food and to deliver is really bad in central LA, it was very stressful for me and had to park in red many times, sucked. Things might have changed a lot since you posted this too.
I would like to know if you are still doing this and how it is going or if you have any tips.
never once have i considered any food delivery service, but after watching this video i'm damn sure i won't get the same results but i'm strongly considering entertaining the idea. i just hit my 3 yrs with Uber yesterday and i'm still not ahead of the game around here (Virginia Beach) we're tied as the lowest-paid markets in the country with Detroit. it's absolutely sickening how much we have to drive around here for so little...
It’s hard making that good around Boston , I dash in Newton MA . Easier trafffic and more orders , maximum I ve made was 600$ week tho , people don’t tip a lot on this app
Do you know if door dasher will allow you to accept deliveries in surrounding cities other than the one you signed up in?
I've received order requests from the other zones but I always have to be in the zone I signed up for when I start my dash
I believe you can reach out to support to temporarily work in another dashable city if you're going to be there for a while. But they have to officially de-activate and re-activate you in the new area before you can start dashing (or something like that). But that's only for a completely different metro area. You can freely choose from areas of your existing metro at any time.
sorry to have to ask where to find your sign up spot for door dash and postmates? I have been an uber / Lyft driver, and after listening to this video, I am going to try something new!
Yeah, it's definitely work trying if you've done Uber or Lyft. I prefer delivery because it's lower stress (for me) and I can stay local.

a RIDESHARE gal................ leave the deliveries to the people who only deliver. Big enough market for Uber already
thanks man i'm thinking of doing uber and lyft but if i can do this also to cover the cost of insurance and vehicle cost that would be great
Delivery is a great alternative to giving rides! At mealtimes and weekends, there is always demand in big cities and you can make just as much if not more than giving rides, with less stress, more personal time and you don't even need a nice car! 😀
Please how can l schedule for Postmates delivery. I just started delivering for Postmates few days ago. I stay so long waiting for deliveries without getting any because l am not on schedule. Please l need your help . You can send me the link to schedule. Thanks
do you think i could use cars2go while working with postmates to make deliveries? cars2go covers all gas and its only $60 a day... I would also save wear and tear on my vehicle... or is this a dumb idea? lol thanks
One thing I want to know is when do you scan a ID in before completing drop off. I delivered a pack and nothing prompted me to scan an ID. Is that normal ? What was it like in your experience ? The way I'm understanding it is the fleet app will alert if anything and wont let you complete the drop off until ID is verified. I had no prompts to tap on and proceeded with commands that where there for that transaction. Thanks again for sharing insight
I do doordash full time and never get those kind of tips. I'm lucky if I can even get 8 dollars for an order...even big orders...I delivered a 172 dollars of food to only get 7 dollars and it was a long distance and long wait time...so i dont think doordash is calculating the pay for each order to be fair and worthwhile and to make fashrts happy..
Hey Ezra! This video although true, may no longer reflect reality. Three years is a long time, there are more drivers than diners now. Cherry pickers, don't give a crap about their colleagues or that smaller orders do need to be delivered. Perhaps it's time to update this video.
Wow this is crazy I just moved to California from Jersey and I do security in Santa Monica. I want to make extra cash and I got the idea about food delivery so I watched your vid. What are the best places to do door dash or post mates in la county?
I’ve looked about 5 of your videos today
This is awesome. I didn't even make 159 dollars in 8 hours driving for uber. I'm definitely going to look into this.
We just don't have these opportunities in small towns or real small areas. I want to do this so bad but the closest city to me that would pay off would be Columbus, which would be 58 miles just to get there one way. So it's not an option for some but def awesome if you live near the city already.
WARNING WARNING --------I am assuming postmates is stealing your tips
....everyone should try this. Have the friend place an order while you wait for the pickup. If the order is assigned to another courier have your friend cancel the order. If successful compare payout and tips to what the friend has to pay. OR place an order yourself and close out the order with the courier there and compare payout and tips (assuming they aren't a goody two shoes).
Hey Shanta, I've seen no evidence that Postmates is stealing tips. This wouldn't make sense for them to do because if caught (and they would be caught eventually), their entire business would fall apart. I've received tips on over 90% of my orders and most are very generous tips too. I think you should evaluate your strategies, which will help you earn more
Hey Thanks for the video I just signed up with Postmates and I am active. I am somewhat excited to get started.
This is never going to happen in nyc. No where to park in Manhattan so trying to get a tip by delivering to door can cost you so much more than the 60 cents this people end up tipping. Plus the app have so many people working in nyc they could give two shits about you working for them.
I started with uber in Chicago and it was great, but definitely make more money with the delivery apps. Currently, I'm working for Amazon flex part time and most of the time I'm averaging 25-30hr; makes me want to quit my regular job! lol I have signed up for postmates but have been hesitant to start because of the types of deliveries they do (i.e., grocery shopping, etc.). Do you have a preference from postmates or doordash? Great video!
Hey George! Thanks for stopping by and watching! I generally prefer DoorDash because they provide more info (pickup, dropoff, order total) and I find the tips to be more consistent. As far as the grocery shopping, yes, there are some annoying/time-consuming orders on Postmates, BUT you can accept or skip any order without penalty. I usually skip all grocery store orders, Starbucks and fast food.
Hi. I was tipped 30 bucks for 5 mint drive from restaurant to the location it was best delivery ever.
What do you do for insurance? (Health/Medical)
Any Advice Help for a guy starting out driving for postmates in NYC where there is barely Any Parking and they give double parking tickets very fast ?
I think your best option is to not use a car in NYC to be honest. I feel like you'd be able to get around quicker and get in and out faster on a motorcycle, moped, or electric bike. What do you think?
It’s all about the area you are at. On a 5 dollar order you won’t get a tip. It’s all about the type of people you deliver to,, if the customer has money most likely you will get a tip.
i followed your link to apply. o applied but at the end i have to get a card to pay for the food. huh! i thought the people the ordered paid then i just delivered the food.
Postmates (and DoorDash) provide you with a credit card to use for merchants that they don't have a prepayment agreement with. The charges are billed to Postmates, not to you.
im confused your not explaining this right like your all over the place like are you making that a day or a week
Hmm all I ever get on doordash is 5 to 7 dollars and on postmates only 4 dollars...not very profitable
Depends area wont be like that forever beacuse they hire si many you will be making 5 a hour soon or later .
What do you think of UberEATS?
I'm not a fan of Ubereats because tips is where I make most of my earnings and there are no tips with Ubereats.
Rideshare Genius I figured.
after only the receipt video you just did on 12/2 and 1/2 of this video you are officially my favorite info guy for app cash info!! And it's great cuz I just started doing this in LA w/ postmates & caviar and was wondering if door dash is one I should add and after this video that answer is a massive YES. Thanks for the clear to the point info.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment, LJ! Yes, I think DoorDash is the best-earning delivery app I've tried so far. How is Caviar? I haven't tried it yet. Do you have any info on it or a referral link I can use to sign up?
u recommend people do this on a scooter ? or a bicycle that has a motor??
Lol I got a car live in nj I thought I will pay payment by these job. No one ever tips never
Did dood dash but i stop because i didn't make much in my area
How do I get my driver referral link/ID for PM n DD? I signed up with both of these and am ready to roll - have friends that want to sign up. TYVM - appreciate you, bro!
I'm not sure that PM even has a referral program right now. For DD, open your app, click "refer friends" then click one of the options (sms, email, etc.). Now you should see a prefilled message with your personal link at the end
It is a rollercoaster. Up and down. I only do postmates and because I am in a car, I do maybe 2 to 3 stops an hour due to parking and traffic. I did get some nice tips here and there, which if you really calculate it, made me about 15 or 20 per hour. Even if I only did 2 hours. I wanna try doordash but something about going to an orientation is like meh
Depending on where you're located, there may well not be an orientation anymore for DoorDash. There wasn't one for me here in Minneapolis when I signed up in late 2018. Even if you have to go to one, it basically saves you waiting on getting your gear in the mail so you can start that same day.
Can you explain place order and only pick up for postmate card ? Please
That's awesome but those tips, they aren't common especially 21.99?
For big orders, $20 tips are pretty common
You deserve your tips.
lol i did postmates from 11:08 to 1:40 and got $24..........
Anyone have any good ideas / strategy for being able to always get signed on for a shift? (for Doordash) The scheduling portion of the app gives me like 30 minutes to 1&1/2 hour shifts at the most in my area. I used to be able to call "customer support" and they would clock me in, but starting last week they put the kibosh on that! Damn. I was working 10-12 hours a day!, but now....bupkis.
Anyone have any slick ideas on this?
As long as the area you want to dash in is colored red, not gray, you should be able to just "Dash Now" and choose from one of the available ending times. Often you can extend that ending time as well if you're down for dashing longer that day. Scheduling is nice, especially for contentious busy periods, but also largely optional.
This is bs I only get 5 dollar orders on door dash and I only deliver 2 orders an hour , it’s so hard to make money where I live . I.E RANCHO UPLAND MONTCLAIR ONTARIO and i never get tips how the hell do you have 56 dollars in tips and I can’t even get a dollar out of my customers Wow
Lol
So this is an example of an awesome day but is this typical? I already do PM, looking to adding DD.
This is a good run on a Friday night. But I would say tips are more consistent with DD than with PM. If you're already doing PM, you should definitely add DD (and GrubHub too!). What city are you in?
Very abnormal to make that. 😂
All these gig economy guys talk like the pyramid scheme guys of the 90s 😂😂😂
I can make you rich and you can work for yourself.
Be your own boss and make millions!!!! 👌
When I made the video, it was pretty easy to screen orders based on potential big tips. But of course DoorDash had to switch things up... It’s not the same anymore, you are correct
welcome to 2020 all this is a thing of a pass !
I just did a $300 order and drove over an hour and made $18.... doordash
hey man really great video! really helpful on getting to know these apps on how they can help benefit me on great income for little amount of time, looking forward to getting started on my postmates path. would you say it was easy getting the deliveries on time time to the customer ?
Yeah, I've never had a problem making deliveries on time. Postmates doesn't give you a specified delivery time so all you can do is deliver it ASAP, which is what you wanna do anyway in order to make the most money. DoorDash does give a "deliver by" time but it's usually not a problem. Once when it was really busy, I got an order that was already supposed to be delivered so I called the customer to update her and see if she still wanted it. She gave me a nice tip so it worked out.
I thought if you pick and choose what delivery you wanna take your rating goes down ??
Great question! And sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Your acceptance rate will go down, but the most important thing is having a high customer rating. I concentrate more on providing a great delivery experience for the orders I do accept, rather than worrying about accepting every order. Does that make sense?
well it depends where places you at. in my place people order and they leave far awat. takes 8-13 min distance all the time
+chico villamor remember that with DoorDash, you can see the pickup AND dropoff before you accept an order. So if a dropoff is far away, you might want to decline
hey, your link for referral isnt working, at least for postmates :/
Thanks for letting me know, Jessy! I checked and it seems to be working now. Let me know if you are having trouble signing up or need any guidance :) Thanks again!
brother can I call you in got a question
Can someone (my son) ride with me for Postmates or Doordash?
Hi how you doing? I have a question I'm getting very very very upset I started work for Postmates I have not received a paycheck at all I keep emailing them asking them where's my pay and they all keep replying to me to check the articles explaining about the pay but even me reading the Articles wanted us to answer my question into I still don't understand can you clarify for me? I greatly appreciate it in advance
Did you link a bank account for them to deposit the money into? They're not going to just mail you a paper check.
Lies. Don't believe this crap
I wish they had something for small towns
In Postmates, I accept on certain criteria. No fast-food, Asian restaurants, Starbucks. It has to be a fairly decent restaurant. Can I do the same with Door Dash?
Yes and no. There is no sortable criteria, you just get the nearest available order offered to you. But you _can_ accept or deny orders based on the restaurant and guaranteed payout for that order. Just be aware that DD does track your order acceptance rate and it can affect things like bonus rates, and even total orders offered if it drops low enough (ultimately ending in deactivation if it bottoms out).
Thats only in the begining , now you quit .
