I've done more than 3000 deliveries with Doordash, it has diminished tremendously since the new year for some reason, it's like Doordash is trying hard to get rid of older drivers and bring in newbies who will work for less 😢
2:57 Don’t do that ! Never confirm an order before it’s in your hand, hit arrived at store and they have options for if there is a delay. Once you hit confirm order the app thinks you have the order and are delivering it. So if a delay happens it looks like it was your fault.
4:41 this is something I have constantly noticed. I just don’t get why so many Dashers put the food directly in front of a door, when it clearly opens outward! When I see that in the delivery picture, I say to myself “I guess that’s why I have a perfect 5.00 rating” because I never do that when the door opens out. 😅🤷🏿
door dash is great for those with adhd/a.d.d. because they know where ALL the food places are as they often binge eat and always need a budget for fast food.
This was so much help! Thank you so much for sharing! I just started last week and I’ve been flying blind😂 I just found your videos and I’m watching all of them, I’ll definitely subscribe!!
Great information, I had a interesting 2 orders for Taco Bell last week first came in I accepted it as I’m walking in I get a second order and it say thus order is a additional 200 ft away so I’m like this is perfect great pay for both orders meaning high pay, so I’m thinking to myself I already know what’s going to happen when I get there now as I get there I’m dropping customer A off first so then customer B comes running out hay are you Anthony from Door dash is that Taco Bell I say yes she say no that’s my order I said no your is in the car your neighbor ordered taco bell as well.
Honestly, I won't be taking orders under $15 again. Thank you everyone here that helped me I now get larger orders. and my first orders today were around $400 for two trips. orders are now coming in bulk finally said no to low orders.
Wish i watched this before my first dash lol. I had my daughter ride with me to help out the first day. In Waco TX getting my dash on part time and winning…thanks in advance for more videos
Rule of thumb…make sure you are at the vendor and hit the ‘arrival’ button within 9 minutes past the ‘pick up by’ time…..and deliver the order within 19 minutes past the ‘deliver by’ time….it’ll prevent you from accumulating contract strikes
See, this is what I think about how the roadblocks and certain stipulations actually deter new drivers. No training. It's like "welcome to the wolf pit."
Streak was started in my market.... Accept and Deliver 6 consecutive orders.... Here's the down side that I have happened twice.... You come out to dash... Streak starts, and I am in to 5 completed orders and I notice that the Streak either turned off or expired.... Once it has started, it should be completed at 6 delivered orders.... I feel like it's a scam because I may take that low pay run for the payoff to come later with $9 bonus after 6 orders.... What's your view point?
Hey I have a question for you BK. Would you mind doing a video about military bases if you have done orders for them yourself or have read stories from other dashers? I have an Air Force base near me and says I have to have the proper credentials to enter the base but before I waste my time doing that I wanna know if it’s worth it or not? Thanks for all of your videos I’ve been watching and applying the tips you give to my experience.
@@DoordashDiariesHe lives paycheck to paycheck because he dashes and great language from someone who is supposed to represent DoorDash. You don’t even post ridealongs every week/every other day lol but you’re telling dashers how they’re supposed to work and what to do. Make that make sense without getting emotional like the single mother who raised you.
You will make less than minimum wage dashing. Door dash is an outdated broken system who could care less about the dashers who risk their lives. #ShutdownDoorDash
if you choose hourly any time u r on the app u r a full time employee time to make a union plus bennyies people chose a unionplus if u get into a crash u r on doordash time that makes them libel if u get hurt workmans comp
I like to set my timer on the phone for 10 minutes when going to pick up somewhere that has been slow before. After waiting 10 minutes you can unassign with no penality on the ratings. I just start the timer when I click on " arrived at store " and it's right there on the bottom of the screen. I don't use the pay by hour only pay per order so sitting still is important.
It’s a new feature, I think. At least for me, I never saw it before a few weeks ago. It shows up when you pick up the order and you get the address. But only sometimes.

The newbies will accept everything - and keep the offers low. I started doing what u did- I turn down the $3.10 Uber trips. 😮 yes they are that low. If they could offer $1.00 and drivers clicked it, they will. And still charge customer $10 for the trip 😅
Is this a large city, no zone area? In Orlando we have multiple zones and catering w $50 tip is good but basepay can stink. If we reject everything below $15, would never get orders
Question I’m going to start using the everlance app for mileage tracking for my door dash business and I noticed that tracking is always on and that you can classify between work, personal and other but there is a tab to turn it off. Now for the question I’m thinking I should turn off while not dashing and only have it on while dashing to make it a little easier would you agree?
There's no training because this isn't a job. Each Dasher is an independent contractor. Self employed. It's a business, not a job. But, yeah, new Dashers should be researching how to do the work better. They need to train themselves. Maybe DoorDash could do a better job of pointing new contractors to resources, but they have to be careful. They don't want to be seen as endorsing sources of information who might be spreading misinformation. What I'd like to see is more new Dashers understanding they haven't just taken a job with little supervision, but rather they are now their own employee, which also makes them their own boss, and they're going to have to approach it with maturity because there is no boss to keep them from failing, except themselves. Being a Dasher isn't a job. It's your own little small business with all the responsibilities of owning your own business.
@@honestpolicy5031 they aren't what they used to be. But there is still money to be made. I actually make more now then I did back then. I shifted away from restaurant apps and moved over to the grocery apps
I’m still trying to combat the situation of sitting there for hours without getting any offers in a major west coast, urban city. If I don’t get offers, I can’t either accept or deny orders, and then I don’t pay my gas costs.
