I was a top dasher at an acceptance rate of 95% and when I was sitting around the grocery store in the middle of all the fast food and restaurants in the red zones, I was STILL not getting any orders.
@@miguelrico4995 literally the market is oversaturated with drivers. Everywhere I go country wide. I will 3 other dashers in either restaurants. I am picking up orders that I will see one walk into a different restaurant and everywhere I go on social media there’s so many people talking about it and I see drivers left and right everywhere I go like there’s just too many people.
for all the Dashers Please let us agree. Do not hit. the bottom earn by time. Do not ever accept any offers with two drop of locations. Or offers with two pickup locations
I wish I here was more proof of that. I've made over 140 deliveries this month and it's not over. I have a 78% acceptance, still sitting. I've been accepted for Uber eats but I'm reluctant to try it because up until now I have had luck doing DD . School started and I think all the parents are dashing in the morning.
I have over 1500 deliveries with doordash and one week of Uber Eats had me fuming that I stayed with DD for so long. Things are different on there, but I got alot more orders, quicker. And tips were always better, and more often for me
Doordashing in Atlanta was the worst and that’s where I started before I move back home to Detroit! Now in Wixom is getting bad like Atlanta do you have to wait all day long for an order because everywhere you go it’s busy
There are Dasher doing the same thing that you’re doing. You just can’t see them. Also there are Dashers that are sitting at 97% and usually a lot more orders under their belt. There are a lot of top dasher out there. I’m part of the platinum program. It has been very hard with a platinum program. I am at 97% and almost 3000 and can barely make it. The reason for this is because there are other Dashers with 100% AR with over 15,000 deliveries they get picked before me.
That is true, but you are in the 1%. A majority of dashers have terrible stats, or only doing it once in a while, or don’t get how to make regular money with it. Keep up what you are doing, and every so often, experiment with something totally different. For me, I tried earn by time three times and each time was convinced it was a loser. Then I tried it in a more generous tipping zone, and it is now my standard practice.
That’s not how the algorithm works though, it’s based off your proximity of the restaurant so if there’s people closer they’re getting the order first. Why send the order to someone 5 miles away when there’s someone 1 mile away sitting idle?
Good to see you the other day at CFA. How do you keep such a high acceptance rate on DD? When it’s slow, I have all apps on and wait for an acceptable order.
@@jimjordan6358 good to see you as well. Acceptance for me seems easy. I just did an afternoon shift in Hiram and didn’t have to decline anything. They were all good. I mad 90 bucks in 3 hours, most from liquor deliveries. BTW, one more week and I’m done here in ATL. It was good getting to know you, JT and everyone else in the area. 😀😀
@@SideGigGuy I don’t do liquor orders. Maybe I should sign up. I was out about four hours this morning and did one DD, four GH, and five UE for a total of 113.00.
The secret is I pick up a order with low tip but LOTS of delicious food and call DD and be like I got flat tire, DD rep just said, “sir you no longer can complete your delivery, please dispose of the items and we will cancel the order with pay.” I get a surge of dopamine from this yayyy
I picked up an 81 dollar order with a 34 dollar tip and then called the customer to make sure they were aware it was over an hour drive. The customer had no idea it was that far and cancelled the order so she could order from a closer restaurant. I took the food to a church that shelters women and children.
What is so funny is how right you are. I’ve recently moved to a zero crime area basically, and I guess I just never realized the danger. And Mableton is pretty right compared to inside the perimeter. Spot on accurate. And while I think back now at some “potentially” dangerous deliveries, I never felt scared. (Maybe I was a tad foolish). Thanks for the astute observation, and one I agree with in hindsight, now that I am living somewhere else.
just wondering. would you prefer to deliver an order with $2.50 tip selected off the app, or an order where someone tips $5 cash but none on the app? i prefer to do the second but then people assume i wont tip cash. So I’d rather just save face and tip the bare minimum off the app if it’ll guarantee me better service
Cash is king, and I would always prefer that. Problem is a lot of drivers just won’t accept that order, because there’s no way for them to know if there’s a cash tip or not. There’s a delivery service out there that only shows base and never shows tips. so that way you really are just taking your chances with every order
I believe it does, but it can work against you also. If you just accept everything, the algorithm will realize that you’ll take crap, and will offer you crap. I say, accept as much as possible, but have minimum standards that you won’t go below.
Here's something Ive been wondering .. how much does the algorithm get affected on the acceptance rate with canceled orders? I had 90% at one point but this past week I kept getting low balled with 2 dollar deliveries that needed to go across town . I cancel those cause it just ain't worth it. Now I'm at 70 and it feels like I'm getting less deliveries then when I was higher so idk I'm curious if it's related if anyone knows
DoorDash says it is related, and you can choose to believe them or not. I’ve been in focus groups with them, and have talked to them and asked them bluntly. If what they say is true, and they say yes. Back in the day years ago, acceptance rate did not matter nearly as much as it matters today has been my experience. However, the exception is as follows If you were in a zone that is always busy like a very urban area, acceptance rate probably does not matter as much because there is always plenty of business. Hope that answer helps. I made this video when I lived in Atlanta, which was a very busy area, and even at four in the morning, I could stay moderately busy and make 20 bucks an hour. I’m now in a zone that is much more rural, and is challenging to even deliver 100 deliveries in a month to keep top status.
In that situation, it would be by proximity. However, if you were the only TopDasher and it’s slow, TopDasher’s are given more deliveries when it’s slow. Just added a short that shows this.
@@SideGigGuyactually is not true, my acceptance is 10 percent and I make more than a top dashers a day. Top dashers just takes whatever comes in. I take the big orders and not wasting time driving many miles for small orders.
@@miguelrico4995 Good for you. Being available to dash when it is busy isn’t an option for me. I’ve never worked a dinner shift in two years. In fact, since I’ve moved, I haven’t worked later than 10am because of heat. Thanks for the comment!!
Tell me about it! November has been very slow. However, on Saturday it did seem to pick up a little, maybe some rush before the holiday. I don’t know, but yeah, it’s been slow.
Hey bro what you doing dashing in my waters?!?! Lol jk bro but I did pretty good in that area back in covid times but the orders got slow and the tips just weren't there like it used to be. Plus with gas going up its really not even worth it anymore IMO
Lithia Springs is a tough zone. You have to cherry pick and earn by order. Lots of no tippers. But that zone is busy most times. Cheat code, not many dashers at 4am, and lots of orders from IHOP. Also, the zone just north, (Shilo west) has better tips (the south part that boarders LS)
I don’t understand why u and others would share this information, it can backfire on you only to take work from you. I do lawncare full time and I have people come to me and ask what’s your secret and I just walk away cause I know if I told them I could eventually loose account to these people. You have to look out for your self these days.
You make a good point! Trust me, I don’t give away all my secrets. Maybe when I retire I’ll share all the really good tricks. Thanks for commenting, have a great day.
Yeah man, let’s face it. The app is oversaturated with drivers. It’s really hard to get on the app and when you do get on the app you don’t get any good orders do you have to cycle through orders that are coming to you reject the garbage and just take the good ones, it is not well designed and built. They’re still doing referral bonuses like a pyramid scheme everywhere I go I see DoorDash drivers left and right whether it’s cars, bicycles, electric scooters, and even people just sitting in their cars waiting for an order like there’s just too many people.
STOP referring drivers! The referral program is a scam and only benefits DD. The majority of drivers you refer aren't going to take it super serious and hit the recommended goal of deliveries for you to get your referral bonus anyway. DD knows this and they will win at the end cause they get a FREE DRIVER without having to pay you a referral bonus.
That only benefits you and you sound like a new dasher. I've been full time on food grocery and rideshare 6 years. That's not the case in every market sir
Thank you for the comment, and your tears of service are appreciated. This video’s purpose was to explain one possible strategy if things are slow. When I lived here, this was a 24 hour zone that was very busy, even at 4 am. But it did get low sometimes. My strategy was never to sit at one hot spot, but to position myself between three areas that had potential. I apologize if that wasn’t clear. And you are much more experienced, I only have about 2 years under my belt. DoorDash changes this enough to where I feel like we are all on day 1. I can say this, I like aren by time in my zone. Yesterday, every customer tipped, and I made 100 in about 5 hours, breakfast and lunch. Normally, since this isn’t a 24 hour zone, I hit the road at sun up. I very much appreciate your comments and insight. Do you have a channel with tips?
Hey what do u do to stop phone from overheating ? I heard putting a face mask between ur phone and phone mount helps but never tried it ? Got any advice
No, I have no idea 🤷♂️. I’ll put out a short and ask why. I know the Uber app seems to make my phone overheat faster than the other apps. It is a real struggle for me and I am sure others. If you are charging while driving, this will heat it up; but, if you don’t charge your battery will go dead. I try to run minimal apps, turn off location sharing on apps that don’t need it. When I am out of the car, I memorize the info I need and turn screen off. Turning down brightness might help. Good luck!!
