If somebody requests "Hand to customer," then, "leave at the door," ALWAYS take a picture of the delivery and send it directly through the doordash app to the customer's phone. This will reduce the risk of assholes claiming they never got the food, and therefore you will hopefully avoid contract violations.
I have some good advice. If you do decide to wait in a long line and not unassign, send the customer a quick text to let them know you're waiting and will get to them as quickly as possible.
@@michaelphoenix-myst2778 i think cuz they’re gigantic, have long lines, and a huge amount of time either looking for the items or waiting on an employee to give u the items since theres always high volume
I started learning to PASS ON WALMART ORDERS pretty quick. If you don’t want to be pissed off for the rest of your dash. Do NOT take the Walmart orders! Lol
Idk Walmart is great in my area. I have done probably 100-150 walmart orders and they 100% give me my bulk of tip money. It must be hit or miss in different areas. now ihop they are by far the slowest and by far have the worst customer service in my area. They are always slow understaffed and just rude.
My first day I got two Walmart orders. First one was my 2nd ever delivery, Walmart couldn't find the order in the system. I contacted support which took me a minute to figure out how to do and while doing so the customer told me the order was delivered the night before. DD gave me $4 for the $8 delivery. Later in the day I got another one. Went to pick items up, i had to scan the 4 totes of groceries. Went to drop off at customer then the app wanted me to scan the totes again to complete delivery, which of course I no longer had. I dropped the items off and once again contacted support. 15 minutes later that was completed. It took so long because they had to contact customer to ensure they actually got the delivery.
Been dashing as my side job for years but I figured I'd just watch to see if I could learn something new. Didn't know acceptance rate didn't really matter so I was a bit more picky tonight. Made 24.50/h from 5-8 at dinner with no bonus. Usually on a weekday i'm closer to 20/h. Thanks!
Check out DDdad he did a video on declining literally 100 orders in a shift lol😂 He showed every order he declined. I was kind of stressing that myself but yeah apparently it doesn’t matter worth shit
Hey Dashers, door dash let’s customers get away with not tipping or tipping a dollar. The customer think they deserve food delivered to them for free. While your burning your gas and putting wear and tear on your car. There should be a min tip of $5. With in a 7 mile radius and go up from there. It’s like cheap freight. Keep excepting dashes under $7.00 door dash will continue to waist your fuel and time. Every dasher needs to quit excepting non tipping or cheap customers orders. If they can not tip well then they need to get off there lazy ass and pick there own food up. I always tip at least five and if they haft to drive more than 10 miles I either give them a cash tip or tip $10 plus for the convince of getting home delivery. That even goes for grocery delivery
Exactly I'm an Uber driver and do the same thing when I drive Uber eats however one time I took a jack in the box order late at night and got an $18 tip w was more than the order I was driving In Hollywood CA near the Fairfax /Beverly area
@@mokoyusha7694 he doesn’t sound entitled he’s just speaking facts. Yes, you’re right he doesn’t have to except those orders and neither would I I would rather sit in a parking lot before I do that but he’s just saying in general man it’s basic fucking common courtesy wake the fuck up, we understand that we don’t have to do DoorDash if we’re worried about gas and wear and tear on our car, you’re exactly right, but It can also go back to the old ways where you actually got off your ass and did something duhhhhhh!
@@devinblack-dias6301 he said in the video that you have to have an acceptance rate over 70% to be able to "dash now", if not you have to pick a schedule for the week. Which I think is pretty damn bunk if you ask me!
Bonus tip for busy nights: If a wait is looking inevitable, ask the restaurant to kick in some sweets or bread sticks, even paper plates or a bottle of pop, for the trouble. I've done this more than once and if you let the customer know you scored bonus vittles for the inconvenience, they usually appreciate it. It makes the restaurant feel more inclined to be nice to you because you're being nice to them, too.
I'm confused, is there a schedule? I thought it was you log in and accept orders whenever you want. I just uploaded the app and it shows something like to start a shift until "11:30". Does that mean I have to work until that time, what if I have to leave for something important and I don't want to take more orders?
Yeah you should schedule the times you want to work ahead of time but as far as I can tell there is not a penalty for not working a time you scheduled or ending a dash early
Definitely don’t take Walmart. I made that mistake once. I had to carry multiple bags up floors and make multiple trips to my car. Round trip, it was an hour long ordeal. Fortunately they tipped and it was $15 total but definitely not worth it
Since they raised the pay on Walmart orders I've taken a select few that earned me a good bit. However I accept an order a few weeks ago that I dropped. Said it was one item and I get there and it's a huge grocery order. It wouldn't of even fit in my car. Told him I was gonna have to drop it because it had said the wrong count of items. Haven't taken one since.
Never, ever, ever, ever, never take a Popeyes order. I've been doordashing for nearly 2 years now and have probably taken 10 orders from those restaurants and almost all of them have ended in either a cancellation by me or a gigantic fuck up of epic proportions on their side. I don't want to paint with a broad brush and I'm sure there are many wonderful people that work at Popeyes but they aren't at the ones I've been blessed to go to.
Nuggs! Thanks for revealing the truth about acceptance rating / rate. I thought it was detrimental or equal to completion rate. I stopped dashing when there was no peak pay. But now? I just ignore all those terrible offers!
When I was with Uber I took all trips. I was used way more than other drivers. I made bank and all I hear was how people didn’t make shit. Lol 900 a day was my best with 44 rides. Ford Fusion for the win. There are so many tricks you learn to make money. Just started door dash
This video helped me a lot with the confidence I needed to get started Dashing. Thanks so much for taking the time and making it easier for us with some fast facts.
Avoid all fast food orders unless the tip is awsome, never take a delivery for less than 5$, even a two mile trip will take you 15 minutes no matter what is going on. If you want to make at least 20$ an hour plan accordingly. Realize most people can't afford to use DD, but do. Your welcome.
I am considering Doordashing after work. Do they require a certain number of orders per session or can I just grab 3 orders per day on my way home? I work right next to a ton of restaurants and I feel like it wouldn't be hard to grab a couple orders on my way home.
Don’t take Walmart 😂 I like you bro. It depends on the market. And don’t forget to all you Dasher’s out there, if a Walmart order comes in with an awesome base pay and a 5 dollar tip and low miles... AND you know from experience if the order won’t take too long... “Take the Walmart order!” Play around. Figure out what works for you. It’s your own business, and as such you are afforded the opportunity hone your business skills in for maximum profits. Also... don’t forget to hone in your skills at “maximum customer satisfaction”! It really is your business... and don’t you want happy customers?
Not sure if you knew but if you take an order that had an odd cents at the end like $9.39 always take those because they will always give you more money than they are showing!
Oh cool! Not bad. About the same here, $15-20/hr lunch and dinner. Here we have a very bad in between though, I could make $5/hr from 2pm-4pm sometimes haha.
@@NuggsDD you're inspiring to start vlogging my doordash experiences to help pay my car off 😂 I used to uber when i lived in DC and made about $700 for 22 hours of work and wish it was better where i live now. doordash is a great alternative though
Do Instacart drivers have to do the actual pulling of the groceries and DD's don't for Walmart orders? I am confused because I thought that I had seen a video where there was a pick up station in the Walmart store that already had the pulled items from the shelves for DD's. Thank you in advance.
@@parkercummings1906 I am unsure about the Door Dash, but as an Instacart shopper, I would accept the order ($9-$60 or more but rare it gets higher than 60), and go to that store, and pick each item, scan it and put it in the cart. It’s just like shopping for yourself except you have to be exact with weights and measurements when it comes to produce, and gets to be mentally straining sometimes when you’re shopping for 3 customers at once and having to organize everything.
@@parkercummings1906 I hope I answered your question well. Let me know if you have anymore questions and I will be glad to help explain more. You can make good money with Instacart, but its more time consuming but larger pay. I’ve actually made more doing DoorDash in a day than I have with Instacart because you can go as fast as you can. With Instacart you have to be exact and customers are a bit more picky with their groceries.
Okay thanks for the info about the red card! I'm starting tomorrow and was trying to figure out what that is for. This was excellent! Here's a question: does DD not have a basic tutorial for beginners? I don't see one anywhere online or on youtube.. am I just missing it?
I've noticing on my On time or 5 minutes past that they are counting 100 deliveries for 1%. I was all the way down to 88% and I have delivered hundreds of deliveries and I'm only at 90.64 it is not counting correctly. I work night time now so I'm never late
Also don’t take Walmart! For $7 I had to deliver a bag of adult diaper pads 13 miles away and $500 tv in the other direction from the Walmart. Took me an hour and a half. Don’t accept Walmart
How do you calculate that the order is at least $1 per mile? Obviously if the order is $5 and it's 5 miles, that's $1 per mile. In your screenshot examples in this video, the one on the left was $3 for 3.7 miles (3 divided by 3.7 = 0.81, I get that) but the one on the right was $22.94 for 18.2 miles. 22.94 divided by 18.2 = 1.26?
Originally he said try not to do orders where the mileage is more than half of the pay……so…..18 mile delivery as the number 18 is definitely more than half of the money paid to you which that number is 22. If the order was about 13 miles or less, I would have taken it most definitely because you get the most order for $22 considering gas, any hold ups, and ratings.
Hey awesome video. I def think Walmart is by area. I live in a small area and get loads of Walmart orders and they pay great I have over 800 total dashes with uber and over 1k with doordash. Walmart is great in my area they are fast and quick.
A family member was just telling me how much you can make door dashing and after watching your video and others, just made me quit. The price of bidens gas isn't worth it.
Thank you thank you thank you finally some great information I’m new to the dash world and have been searching for some information and tips and you answered every question I had you rock 😎
I just started dashing and I don't know what a stack order is. They also say something like, if you have a stack order do McDonald's last. I don't know what any of this means.
Does anyone else feel like they are always late? Do I have a certain set time to deliver the orders? Or is it just deliver as fast as I am able to? I always get 2 orders at the same time and feel like I am making the 2nd order way way late after driving to 2 restaurants, and one house and THEN to the second customers house. Any one have advice?
Funny how towards the end he says “don’t take Walmart.” I work at a Walmart and thought delivering with them would be too bad, any reason why walmart is looked down on?
@@MistahUnknown even if it it busy enough that you can “dash now” it still makes u pick a time to dash till so technically no. But a lot of time u can just dash when it’s busy enough without scheduling in advanced but it’s not a good idea to do this unless u live in a major market like Portland Oregon, or New Orleans Louisiana etc.
BROOOO I freaking hate Walmart orders once I get one and decline it because it's $12 for 18 mils and 4 drop-off location DD starts spamming me with bad Walmart orders for 30 minutes straight.
@@klee7191 yes you can decline them but if you accept a stack order (where you have to pick up more than one order and deliver to more than one address) then you shouldn't unassign them because they will hurt your compilation rate because you have to unassign every single order by it self
My acceptance rate is really low because I'm pretty fussy about what orders are worth taking. Shopping malls I usually avoid because it can be hard parking/a long walk to the food court or whatever... not worth it only for a few bucks imo, even if the drop off Is close by.
I just wanna know how tf to get approved to dash, my bf applied over a month ago but was denied due to a minor incident on his driving record that happened years ago. We have been emailing with doordash back and forth and have even tried calling to get the decision appealed, but everytime they tell us they're going to get in touch with the escalations team or the background check team, they stop replying completely and ignore our attempts to ask for updates until we open a new case lmao.
