For those watching this video and subscribing to Dollar Driver I would like to offer $10 off Hidden Hotspots to help you out! Here is the link hiddenhotspots.com/signup/?referral=10OFF Keep on Hustling!

I work at panda express and I have food delivery drivers I see daily and I always try to make their job easier by hurrying up the order or even just making sure everything is completely correct because we both are working for a check.! I do appreciate when drivers tell me they see me working fast because I genuinely am trying for them😂!

I start today. I have high anxiety, low self-esteem, and a fear of messing up. Your step by step video is what I need right now. I thank you for making this.

Just did my first Dash today thanks to you! This video gave me the confidence to give it a try and i did. As an introvert I was in my head all the time but once it was over I realized it wasn’t that hard. ❤❤❤

Awesome video thank you so much:) much appreciated & very helpful:)

8:47 one thing I would suggest is to inform the customer at that point what you’re doing let them know you’re waiting on there food if it’s not ready 32:00 I jumped the gun lol you mentioned it later in the video One more thing I would suggest is put your phones display autolock to never so your phones not always trying to go dark

Been doing the gig hustle in the uk for 2 years now with just eat and deliveroo. This video is excellent as a refresher course and i recommend 👍👍👍👍👍💯. Just stumbled and subscribed today thanks you two!!!

Really enjoyed this. Thanks. You two were great.

Just a tip at 17:20 you can usually swipe on the green direction bar at top of screen to see your next turn. No need to zoom out and recenter.

You and Anna are great ! Thank you!

Excellent training video! All the inside tips, do's and dont's for success as a Door Dasher!

Good job y'all! Great people and wonderful smiles. Love to you both❤

Will do my first door dash job tomorrow. Thanks for the advice

Dude your in Bakersfield nice! 🙌 ive picked up at that chik fil a couple times.nice to see locals in the gig youtube community. 👍

I’m about to start today after work pray for me to be a blessing this video help a lot thanks for the content 😊

This is super helpful! I did my first dash 2 days ago and I’m excited to get back out there! Thanks for all the tips and tricks!

Good teaching. At this point i pretty much know fives cities like the back of my hand. Familiarize yourself with the main roads, a lot of times you can get better timing. Chipotle and panda always good orders

Youre doing Great!!! My biggest challenge is trying to carry the bag of food, drink, and my phone all out to my car lol

Very interesting, thats cool you showed her the ropes

She is so happy doing it that is great

Great video!

Lovely woman in the video. Wishing her the best. Peter and my head 87 year old Italian mother in the Villages, Florida!!❤❤❤❤

You should tell that if you have to go the restroom to hit waiting on order too

You two look great together. Very informative and beautiful video with a lot of humility 🙏 Lots of love

I’m definitely under the radar DOORDASHer

When I door dashed in Queens, NY I did not accept orders from fast food restaurants because I could make so much more when I would pick up orders from regular restaurants. and in Queens we have so many restaurants of every different ethnic food.

Do not accept orders what do not pay 2 dollars per mile. Example: if you have an order for 5 miles away do not accept unless the tip for the order is at least 10 dollar tip.

I'm doing my first dash today. After seeing this video I'm not so nervous anymore thanks. Why do u install gridwise? Does gridwise pay you as well

Remember bring food or snacks and extra water/drinks for yourself.

lots of knowledge to be obtained from your video. thanks a lot bro

Very interesting very informative information great video do more please this is something i have been thinking about doing. 😊

Great training video!!

🤔...Why do you stop your miles before getting back home? I'm about to start Dashing for the first time tomorrow and this has me a little confused. Anywhere you dive for business purposes should count as a mileage deduction. As far as I know the only business driving you cannot count is driving from your home to your primary office. For pretty much all gig workers your home is your primary office AKA your official business address. As in the fixed location where you perform administrative task associated with your Dashing business, keep supplies, equipment and records for that business. So driving mileage from your home to where you start Dashing and from where you stop Dashing back to your home should all be deductible mileage.

I watched the video. It gave me a lot of info and tips. I’m still scared. I think I’ll call my friend to go on my 1st run w/me. In my defense- “I’m old!” Never thought I’d say that. Laugh out loud. “I got this!”

What do you do if a customer leaves you a bad rating because they tracked and noticed you stopping at another restaurant, thereby delaying their order delivery?

seems stressful having to know what somones drink is, getting the straws, i always figured the place would have it ready

They do not always send you in the same direction with two orders I've had lots of orders that went opposite directions

I'm new, still waiting for approval. I'm guessing my background check, but on my app, it says start dashing? Do we get red door dasher bags? Some pizza places, require a pizza bag, don't they?

My husband and I in the 90s wanted to do an internet startolup for delivering fastfood. We almost did it. Wish we would have we would be billionaires!

She is going to be a good Dasher

Is that why the restaurant’s always thing I work for delivery, since usually spinning the stop for Pokemon go. Lol.

How heavy can carrying food get? I have back problems and that concerns me

Never use two apps on your first day

What do you do for proof when handling food to security?

Waiting for my background, processing now. I’m already a instacart shopper.

Thanks for this very informative video! You did great Anna!! I do have one question that I hope you can answer. When you are doing delivery work, do I need any special or additional car insurance when I'm doing this type of work? Please let me know if you have any additional insight on this. Thank you both so very much!! 😊

Can we deliver food without insulated bag is it important to carry

@Dollardriver Would you recommend keeping food in the insulated bags until handed over to customer or keeping insulated bags in your vehicle?

Put some more ice in!

what if another doordasher steals the food that's just sitting there?

up here in canada will do not fill pop...

Do you provide your own coolers?

I always take the stairs too

Chic Fila doesn’t have a drive thru?

never deliver from wingstop 😂

DoorDash need to pay more!!!! The pay is horrible all that for 5 7 Bucks

We run a flooring contracting company and business is so slow my husband I are finding side gig. This is something we might try.

I don't like stacked orders personally.

I would have insisted she buy a phone cradle before starting

I thought you needed a food handler license or food safety license to be preparing food or drinks?

$13 this morning from Jack n The Box 2.1 miles when people are hungry you make bank

Do you get paid weekly 😊

You are not supposed to have to do the drinks. That's THEIR JOB to have it already done and put in a drink holder and a bag. They're supposed to have everything ready for you.

I have 10k deliveries, DD does not pay minimum wage after car expenses. Doordash is very exploitative. DD used to be ok. Not anymore.

Made $320 last Saturday 🤭

Did you know.? If you dont have a food handler certification that you could be liable if there was a problem with the drink. Preparing a drink for someone requires proper training.

Nop door dash never gave a schedule

Why would you take *all orders* when you're new? New or not, you should reject trash orders.

I would never ask for a tip

Don't take a order for 2.75

Mentioning anything about a tip in the message can get you deactivated

its definitely not our job too fill the drinks lol we are delivery drivers and taking every order is not the greatest advice you are gonna be using up more gas and spending more money than making a profit

Make sure you put the drinks in a cardboard drink holder and a bag. Don't leave it on the ground. This is supposed to be done for you already. These fast food workers are incompetent and lazy.

She not new if she dash now that for top dasher

Lets see $10/ hr divided by 2...carry the one.....minus gas, wear.....COOL!!!

Door dash is great if you want to ruin your car.

1st step: DON'T DRIVE FOR DOORDASH!!!

You good sir are a master teacher. 🫡
