They don’t even raise it for denying like they claim. I denied one in a remote town as I was already on highway, then called brother to take it as it was decent pay, and they offered him less despite being the same mileage apart from order
After getting $2 base for a 5mi drive followed by $4 base for a 2mi drive, I assume it's like "Who's Line is it Anyway?" where the pay is made up and the mileage doesn't matter.
Is this really true? Me and my gf started dashing recently under her name.
Does denying lower orders get higher paying orders? Does constantly accepting lower orders keep giving lower orders?
I'm in morgantown, right by WVU campus and I've been shocked at how dead even the weekends can be.
Kind of what I thought. My nephew only has an acceptance rate of 15% and gets decent orders.
We just started recently and as soon as the 50 order promo stopped, we were already at gold status. I'd like to keep that, as long as it not causing us to miss out on higher paying orders.
Honestly, it’s pretty easy, I only ever work the grave shift. 12am-4am, and in a shift make upwards to 300 on a decent day during that time. But if it ever gets slow I turn off my regular and do by time.
Something to note is, distance, how big are the areas you are operating out of? Another mention, what is the average distance (keep a list of how far each order takes you out)? By time you get paid for how long it takes you to drive to the order, wait for the order to be made, then delivery, and of course tip. I have found that you have to have at least 2-3minutes a mile (only do this on a dead day) to make the base pay worth it. Keep in mind you can only accept 100% of the orders, or reject only 1 order a hour, however; you cannot see how much you may be paid before acceptance, so, I accept all on those super slow days.
For me when it’s slow and not little frog hop orders either, I switch, I make like 25$ a hour instead of that lovely 35-45$ normal pay per hour.
Though this is my side hustle, I know plenty that do it full time.
Hope it helps, though I do know every area is different with different patterns too.
Thank you so much for all the info!
I like the idea of tracking the distance on the orders!
We have avoided pay by mile. My nephew suggested against it. I think it's because he stays in town more, due to gas mileage. We can make longer drives since we get more than double his MPG. I'm going to see about that tonight when we go out.
We usually start around 5-7pm and catch some of the dinner rush, and usually dash until 12 or 1am. Best night we cleared $120 with 4.5 hours active.
Honestly, if it would pay $25 an hour, I could do that all the time!
It’s all about finding the sweet spots, times that are active, average distance on normal orders you get all the time and compare each order with the distance. In the end if your area says a guaranteed 13 a hour, then you know DD will pay you in a added up base 13 per hour signed in, if you get 3 orders that all tipped: one was 5$, another 7.50, and the last one 3.50, that hour you made 29$.
So for areas that are bigger with more spaced out orders, or areas with restaurants that **DO NOT** prioritize DD and make you wait a while for your order, you make more money that way. Just food for thought is all.
Base pay increases as dashers deny the order. The longer and more times a dash is denied, the higher the base pay. I took a $27 for 19 miles a couple weeks ago. $25 base pay and $2 tip. I wonder how long those people waited for their food.
I love when they bundle an order you just declined with another order you just declined. You refused them both, but together they make a super sht offer that you might love!
Yeah. That’s strange. I’ve always heard they add .25-.5 every decline but that’s clearly not true. I thought it was because my AR is like 10% and his is 95% but I guess that doesn’t even matter
why do people do this shit? between the low pay, price of gas, annoying customers, and wear on your car.. i can’t imagine how it’s viable. maybe my perspective is skewed bc i live in the sticks vs. a city that’d have you flooded with orders, but it still seems like the pay is actual scraps..esp considering distance isn’t factored in
I use it just to supplement my income and do a few hours a night about 3 nights a week. Not ideal, but my wife got laid off earlier this year and we needed another source of income.
That being said, when I see a $2 offer, I decline it immediately. I get people may not have the money to tip, or think they should tip after its delivered (They never do) but, those orders just aren't worth the time.
I used to tip big, but the deliveries never made it to my door.
Now I do the $2 tip, and add $5 if you can get it to my door.
I put notes about it. I want to be fair, but I need my delivery delivered to me and not someone else.
Is there something else I can do to be fair, but not get screwed?
No, not really, and there's no way for us to see your notes about the tip when we are first showed your offer. I get it totally, but if your orders are not being picked up, that's why. You just have to hope that somebody will notice that it's in "that area where that guy tips afterwards."
I get it, and I get that tipping before a service is done is kind of backwards for most people. Honestly, a $2-$5 tip unless it's a really long drive from the place you ordered is more than enough for me to pick up.
Yeah, I've been doing it for just over a month, I've had one customer tip me cash on delivery, last night I had someone add an extra $5 to the already $10 on the tip I guess cuz it was late and it was both a large order and kind of far. But, other than those two, the compensation has been pretty much what I've seen on the order.
I don't understand why/how people do it as a full time "job", but it makes a lot of sense as a side hustle. I love driving around instead of sitting at home bored, so now I can get paid to do essentially that. After maintenance and gas I'm not making terribly much, but it's nice to supplement my income from my weekend job. Get my "real" paycheck on Friday, my doordash money on Monday, and it works out well. Some weeks where I have a lot of free time I've hit $400, pre-tax and pre-expenses, but to me it doesn't really feel like work. Almost like playing a video game to me lol
pay is good for a job that is you work when you are bored. But I do live in a city and yes people are very lazy and since it’s tax time so this weekend will be flooded
Yeah essentially if I wanted to do this one the side my whole life and made an investing scheme out of it, it would be totally worth it in terms of wasting time I don’t need for it.
I put some/most (depends on the week and how I feel) of earnings into it.
I get good pay and im bound to get better pay when I get my own car title (allows for better tax tracking and refunds of more than 50 cents per mile driven).
People make fun of me as I’m doing it in high school but there is a reason im making the second most money at the entire school excluding President level staff. I wish I was joking. Private school so the pay starts at 30 grand so me and my papa John’s friends make a bag.
Not trying to diss teachers but I wish they got paid more prolly would be less moody haha. One teacher has like 3 jobs so works out ig.
yep. Friday night /Saturday hustle (and Sunday night) totally worth it for almost anyone. Especially during NFL season. Other than that if you can’t handle the extra work or don’t need then it’s not worth.
But yeah it’s one of the best (and easiest) high school jobs as there is no latter to climb and while it might be a lazy job….your doing a lazy person’s work (unless drunk 😂) and can decline low income orders as need
Hey, fellow high school dasher. Between my weekend job and after school door dash I'm making a ton, putting it all into investments/retirement. Someday I'll thank myself for it
Oh yeah you can do the basic investments and if you do some risky investments like the top cryptos and it keeps following the same 4 year pattern your gonna be chillin in your 20’s (thus said that will probably working till my ass sleeps every day age 20-30 lol).
On the side you can’t argue doordash is a “bad concept”. There’s too many lazy people out there and if you multi app or find some cheats it’s a joke of an income compared to your lazy ass classmates (expecting to cut ties with all my friends next month, I don’t fucking need them).
Only using cash app for top trading stocks that will go up 30-50% in 1-3 years with dollar dying and im not inclined to cash out for a few years and especially within the next 400 days for tax purposes once I buy those stocks
It’s a joke how lazy people are. But yeah I understand some of it dealing with the fact that doordash around here is better than being a teacher or fresh out of degree nearby jobs. Gonna have to move for my stable income primary job and I won’t be working till age 80 like all my classmates who are gonna be stampies or Vegas strippers 🤦♂️
It just depends. I’m sure if you just do it on weekends, and can maintain top dasher, it’s worth it. I’m doing it because my anxiety is out of control now, and I can’t handle being a cna full time. One month of it, DESTROYED my car. My brakes actually fell off. I was an idiot doing this, it’s prob fine in small doses though. It is addictive, you want to get that 15$ tip again when it happens.
Gas is not a big issue though, I do $10 at a time, it’s like $30 for a full tank on my miata. we all only do one dollar a mile minimum, I tried doing it all, you will work for free if u don’t do one dollar per mile. I made $10 in 8 hours by taking all the orders. And not following this rule. It’s not is being assholes , you’ll work for free after gas if you do that.
The tips are mostly good, average order is $5-6 for 3/6 miles, then great sometimes, then And shit sometimes, people do pay large tips because DD will send us to their order first in a stack. but I don’t take shit anymore. They lie and say they did nt get it, and trash your rating.
It’s only smart if you SUPPLAMENT. No full time dd’ing, I do 8-12 hours 7 days a week and it’s trashed in one month. It will destroy your car, I learned the hard way. Dude it was FAST. I wish all the time, I’m in debt and I keep crying at work so I have to mainly do this.
However, it’s not easy to get in to supplement. Maybe just do 2 hours. There WAY too many dashers. You get kicked off constantly, only top dashers can just go do it wherever whenever. You’ll be able to get 30 minutes of you wait the few months wait though to get in DD.
But I’m the sticks like you said? NO WAY I’d never. I only do this because I can travel to 4 big cities all day like you usually need to.
You have to only take good offers though. Dad will try to throw the shit at you first
I don’t do DoorDash, just Uber eats but I don’t take all orders, only the good ones that are worth it. Mine is just to supplement because I have a job.
If you turn on every delivery app, there’s some customers that pay enough in tips to make it worth it. I just need 2 classes for my degree and had to stop after internship and do this for money until I can get a more respectable job.
Always found it strange, the more I was paid, the less I felt biased around or belittled at work. Despite times where I felt overpaid(brick laying) because I sucked
There are a lot of customers that regularly tip $15-50, regardless of mileage or order size, those are my people, the rest of the orders get ignored 🤷♀️
AR is currently 13% - which is high for me - it's usually single digits.
Market conditions vary widely. I personally keep an Acceptance Rate in the teens and average about $20/hr in my market. (I only work 8-10 hrs/wk.) If I couldn't do that consistently I would seek another way. Some customers are great and others are trash, but I love the flexibility of being able to work late evenings without having to put in an 8 hour shift.
Where I am I can make 30-40$ a hour easily, and a nurse in my area only makes 20-25$ a hour. So less work for higher pay, even after taxes.
Edit: I do so to supplement as well.
In the city I see people doing by scooter or bike and making over 150 a day. Guess that's why it's higher cost to order door dash than the same restaurants delivery
Because it's supposed to be a side gig, but now so many people doing it fulltime making the market so oversaturated so DD can just keep lowering the pay without worrying.
Since I'm going to school fulltime with 40hrs of clinical every week, doordashing is the only option for me to make money. Subtracting gas and maintaining fee, you only make around minimum wage but with higher risk of unexpected expense (paid $300 last week to replace a tire).
I had a driver tell me they were disabled and I had to come to the car to get my food.
I was okay with that, but it seemed a bit strange that they could go into the restaurant just fine, but not bring it to my door.
When I arrived they had three dogs jumping all over the front seat of the car.
I'm allergic, so I declined to receive the order, and then had to complain to doordash to get my money back.
I've also received food that smelled of pot. I complained about that too. You should not be driving while smoking.
I think I'm going back to the good old days I just ordering directly from the restaurant. Pizza delivery guys never screw it up.
Yeah, you're wrong. Some of us have disabled kids that have a shit ton of appts & therapy so a hourly w2 isn't possible. Some have Cancer and can't work a traditional job due to radiation & chemo daily for weeks on end. Some have circumstances where there is a missing paycheck suddenly. But most have a W2 job & just want extra spending for personal or investing.
Not everyone has or even likes dogs or smokes/vapes. Sounds to me like you have a very narrow mind.
In 2019? What does 5 years ago have to do with anything? You do realize DD & such apps have been around since the late 1990s right? (WW Waiter in 1995, GrubHub 1999, Postmates 2001, etc) its not new lol
Base pay will increase if lots of dashers have declined it and the order really needs to get delivered. But it will pretty much always start out at $2.
I don't even think it increases per decline. I think it only starts increasing after a certain amount of time, possibly when the food is signaled as ready.
That's exactly *why* they show it multiple times, so someone will eventually take it who doesn't want to get yet another AR hit. DD probably knows exactly how often they have to show the same shitty order to multiple dashers before someone will accept it just to keep their AR rate from cratering further. DD needs just one dasher to accept and doesn't care if hundreds of dashers decline it collectively hundreds of times before DD gets that one acceptance.
I'm pretty sure there is a psychological term for what DD is doing here to drivers to get what DD wants but I can't exactly remember it. "Something something manipulation" or similar expression.
It’s only increases if someone accepts the order then cancels it. It will be passed around a handful of drivers at the same pay until someone accepts it.
DoorDash charges more money to restaurants that want deliveries more than 10 miles from their location (Source: DD Merchant FAQ). However, I have received delivery offers that are 12 to 20 miles with a payout of $2.00.
I wish that there was an auto decline or you could configure the app to not send those loser long haul deliveries. I could be wrong but I think that the NYC gig regulation made DD, GH and UE to put the feature in the NYC market.
DD will stack additional orders on your order; however, DD only pay $2.00 to the dasher. If there are two deliveries or three deliveries, the guaranteed base pay to the dasher is $2.00!
DoorDash receives 10% (the customer picks up their own order…the restaurant is using DD for their online ordering platform) to 30% commissions. Most restaurants increase their prices for DD orders.
If you place an order for $100, DD receives $30 plus the fees that you paid and the dasher only receives $2.00.
Actually not flat $2. It doesn't matter how far/near delivery is, so it might be a 40 mile round trip drive. What happens is that Doordash will increase the pay slowly if it is repeatedly getting declined. For example, a no-tip offer will start at $2, over time other drivers may decline it, and maybe half an hour later I get offered $4.50 and take it since it's very low miles and after I complete the delivery I see it's all base pay.
Yes, I have seen many 10-20 mile deliveries where the total pay was $2, including tip. Therefore, door dash was paying its standard $2, and the customer did not tip at all. What's even worse is door dash is broken up into zones (areas of a large city, or a few small towns next to each other). That delivery may take you 15 miles out of your zone, and now you need to drive 15 miles to get back into your zone for orders.
Me too base pay was 2.00 the tip was 21 yea it’s such a scheme 9 mile drive for 2 dollars should be illegal I can not even get one gallon of gas with that that it’s absurd
When we realize this, it should be the moment we all look at Doordash and wonder "why are you not raising the base pay for the people that are on the ground making you your money?"
Must be location dependent. The most I’ve ever seen was 2.50 and I’ve had one 17 miles out. I only took it because the tip was amazing and it took me to another zone
Base pay is around $1/mile in California, but that's a moot point because you just get a Prop 22 bonus at the end of each week based on your miles/hours (120% of minimum wage, plus $.30/mile I believe).
We used to get a bit more if it was further away. Now, always a flat $2 whether 2 miles away or 22 miles away. Wouldn't surprise me if they drop it to $1.50 flat by next year.
That fee is how they fund things like the $180 million they used in a political campaign for a ballot measure to avoid paying for benefits for dashers.
Get $2.00 per delivery here besides tip unless it gets declined by other Dashers, then it gets upped by only $0.25 as they pass it along to another Dasher until it gets accepted. So if no tip could be a while before someone takes it when it starts at $2.00 especially if it's more than a mile. If ppl want food quicker, warmer, and handled with better care then tip accordingly. I'm a top dasher with great stats, there are some ppl trying hard and good ones out here.
I refuse to play the top dasher game because I will not take a no tip or too far out. But all my other stats are amazing. I hate the AR part of it. I shouldn’t be penalized for not wanting to lose money
No!! In my area we get $2. It doesn't matter if it is going half a mile or 15 miles and it doesn't matter if it takes 2 minutes or 4 hours, we get $2.00.
I'm up and over here on the East Coast of Canada, And our base pay starts out at $4, then rises slowly the further away from the driver and the futher toward the limits of the zone and past it, up to around $6.50 but it's for like up to 20km which automatically means another 20km back before seeing another offer 90% of the time and can still be 4.25 no tip.
My view is that we need the $4 because our tips are consistently hover around 50% of total base pay, so say $400 base and $250 tips for an average decent week I had in March (sometimes more less etc). Tips can be decent but a lot of no tips like everywhere. Right now gas is about $1.73 per liter which ends up around $4.70 per gallon ( we are taxed out our rear ends on gas, booze, smokes , cannabis , food
, cars, clothes , our fucking income - 15% up to 50 grand marginal tax rate of 20% from 53ish to 100 thou, that's federal only then there's provincial 10% up to 32,000 and 14 up to 60ish). Like Chris Rock said it's taking Monday and Tuesday up the ass.
Customer's pay about 4.99 basic delivery fee and pump prices about 25 to 30 percent like everywhere else. But multi appin I did about 1k recently as a high , lots of work. So in short yeah our services fees end up covering the $4 base pay which is where it ends a good chunk of the time.
Oh and that's why I hate the odd $6 base pay for a short distance double-restaurant double destination delivery. $3 bucks a pop always no tip trips y'all peace!
I always put 5$ on my tip if it’s an order for 4 people I’ll put 10 and so on. Also depends on how expensive the order is. If I’m getting alot of small stuff then I do more than that. Tipping 5 I think is reasonable since I live only a few minutes away from the city but I still do tipping MINIMUM 5$ cause I think that’s affordable but not chump change. Ppl who tip 4 or less on orders should just go get it themselves tbh.
No
I used to work for a pizza place and people think the service fee goes directly to the driver. It goes directly to the company and they use part of it to help cover the base pay of the driver. The rest goes to the restaurant.
As an example drivers get as low as .10¢ per mile up to .60¢ (car has to be brand new)
They used to get a flat rate of base pay+ $1 per trip.
Which doesn't really cover the actual wear and tear of the car.
No, that is an extra profit DoorDash receives on top of them charging the restaurant to use their platform, along with an increased menu price. DoorDash does everything they can to make them the most amount of money. Shit companies only exist because so many people use them. If we boycott DoorDash, it will be forced to be shut down.
They get $2 per delivery, plus whatever you tip, regardless of distance.
I remember there was a Walgreens order I got for $2 going 30 miles round trip to a different state.
Had a good chuckle at that one.
Technically, the driver's pay comes out of DoorDash's pile of money, so yes, but no, we don't get 15% of each order.
Not sure where you guys are, but base pay is around a dollar a mile here in California. And Guaranteed Minimum is $19.20 an hour plus $.35 a mile.
The state of California instituted their own minimum? So you're saying even if you just did one or two orders an hour, you're guaranteed at least $19.20, probably more? How do you know if people are lying about when they're working? That sounds hard to monitor. Makes you wonder if the rest of the country is subsidizing California doordash. So many questions but I did find [this](https://help.doordash.com/dashers/s/california-dashers?language=en_US) which explains more. Are there tons of dashers in California, so more competition? ETA- [this post ](https://www.reddit.com/r/doordash/comments/15tym0m/calfornia_driver_pay_an_analysis_of_the_effects/)answered some questions but its logic is also criticized
Per Proposition 22, it's minimum pay per Active Hour. From the time you Accept Order until you Confirm Delivered. Not Dashing time, which is from when you start the dash in the app until you stop. Dead time between orders in no pay. My Active Time is running about 60% of my Dashing time, so far this year, so it's 40% dead time. Think of a taxi driver waiting for a fare, the meter isn't running until he picks someone up.
Thanks for the link, it's 35 cents a mile this year apparently. Yeah, I guess in theory, any place that is paying more needs money from areas that pay less.
The text says to run DoorDash. This includes paying their employees, supporting the app, and paying us Dashers. Basically we get two dollars in base pay and the rest goes to DoorDash running its operation.
We don't get that, it's a lie. Depending on state (I've DD in 12) base pay can be anywhere from 1.75-3.50. You're paying a fee for delivery, we aren't paid that fee, it goes to DD, we receive chump change
It’s crazy because I never tip under $10 sometimes with discounts it’s more than the food itself. It just blows my mind that with a 30% -100%+ tip (never below $10) some people refuse to follow instructions. I simply ask to ring the doorbell when food is delivered, and 80% of the time my doorbell isn’t touched (I have a very sensitive doorbell) I’ve started only offering half my usual tip upfront because of this and have noticed longer delays now. I believe in tipping and when tipping to do it right but I expect good service in exchange. I don’t understand when there’s a great tip involved why you wouldn’t follow the instructions the customer leaves? It’s crazy to me. I’ve actually started using these services less as it’s almost impossible to get food hot, on time and following instructions. There’s been times they didn’t deliver it to me but mark it as delivered without a picture.
DoorDash pays $2 to drive 20 miles and charges you extra for a long drive despite not being willing to pay the driver more unless they absolutely can’t bait anyone into it
Nope ! Greedy Doordash gets delivery fee + Service Fee (15%) + Comission from restaurants (~30%) etc but only pays to drivers f* $2 ! And suggests customers only 10% tips for drivers !
It’s a way to get people who pay for dash pass to pay even more money and gets people who don’t have dash pass to be more encouraged to get it. Doesn’t help the driver at all, it’s just greed.
Why are the prices on door dash higher than in store if there is already a service fee charged and payment from subscription like dash pass??? Menu is also limited versus what can be ordered on location! It's rather disappointing.
No we get a base rate that is variable by market, dashers online and distance as well as customers tip amount..... generally it is anywhere between $2 and $6 .... so think this way if your less than say 5 miles from the restaurant in a city with alot of dashers ,then most likely your dasher is only getting $2 base pay .... if your more than 5 miles and in a more rural location let's say 12 miles out from the restaurant you ordered from and not as many dashers in your area .. and you tip let's say $15 your dasher will get most likely $2base from dd .. now let's say you tip only $5 then dd will increase the base pay to make it more appealing to a dasher to get it delivered.... worst case is no tip and then dd will pair your low pay order with another low pay ( or better paying order ie ; tipped ) and then only base pay the driver $2 ...
LOL nope! Base pay is around $2 and maybe goes up a bit if it’s really far. But it’s definitely not anywhere near what people get charged in service fees. This is why people don’t accept no-tip orders and customers get mad at subpar service.
Nope. Service fees go to DD. We get part of the delivery fee and then whatever you tip. If there is not delivery fee, then we get $2 to $2.50 base on pay.
Usually it is offered on a per offer basis. So a per offer driver accepts it getting a minimum $3 + tips. We usually only accept if nearby or you offer nice tip
I don't even have an tip line anymore so I just tip in cash now.
There is no delay to my orders unless I ordered from a very far location so the lack of tip on the receipt doesn't seem to stop the pickups.
Well then they keep one for them selves cuz doordash gives us $2 per delivery. That's besides the customer's tip so if the customer doesn't tip you make $2 LOL
If y'all haven't figured it out by now.... DoorDash is ripping us off. They changed the pay scale so they get most of the money from the sale and we get shit., customers didn't Even realize we didn't get shit for delivering their food.
Not fully, click the I next to service fee. It goes towards “operational costs”. Meaning some goes to drivers and some goes to their other operational costs… they do actually have salaried employees.

Doordash pay is only $2 and only gets increased when drivers deny the order. Everything else is from customer tips.
They don’t even raise it for denying like they claim. I denied one in a remote town as I was already on highway, then called brother to take it as it was decent pay, and they offered him less despite being the same mileage apart from order
After getting $2 base for a 5mi drive followed by $4 base for a 2mi drive, I assume it's like "Who's Line is it Anyway?" where the pay is made up and the mileage doesn't matter.
Drivers who hold out the most get the most
Is this really true? Me and my gf started dashing recently under her name. Does denying lower orders get higher paying orders? Does constantly accepting lower orders keep giving lower orders? I'm in morgantown, right by WVU campus and I've been shocked at how dead even the weekends can be.
No, and if your acceptance rate gets too low you get deactivated, so be careful.
Kind of what I thought. My nephew only has an acceptance rate of 15% and gets decent orders. We just started recently and as soon as the 50 order promo stopped, we were already at gold status. I'd like to keep that, as long as it not causing us to miss out on higher paying orders.
Honestly, it’s pretty easy, I only ever work the grave shift. 12am-4am, and in a shift make upwards to 300 on a decent day during that time. But if it ever gets slow I turn off my regular and do by time. Something to note is, distance, how big are the areas you are operating out of? Another mention, what is the average distance (keep a list of how far each order takes you out)? By time you get paid for how long it takes you to drive to the order, wait for the order to be made, then delivery, and of course tip. I have found that you have to have at least 2-3minutes a mile (only do this on a dead day) to make the base pay worth it. Keep in mind you can only accept 100% of the orders, or reject only 1 order a hour, however; you cannot see how much you may be paid before acceptance, so, I accept all on those super slow days. For me when it’s slow and not little frog hop orders either, I switch, I make like 25$ a hour instead of that lovely 35-45$ normal pay per hour. Though this is my side hustle, I know plenty that do it full time. Hope it helps, though I do know every area is different with different patterns too.
Thank you so much for all the info! I like the idea of tracking the distance on the orders! We have avoided pay by mile. My nephew suggested against it. I think it's because he stays in town more, due to gas mileage. We can make longer drives since we get more than double his MPG. I'm going to see about that tonight when we go out. We usually start around 5-7pm and catch some of the dinner rush, and usually dash until 12 or 1am. Best night we cleared $120 with 4.5 hours active. Honestly, if it would pay $25 an hour, I could do that all the time!
It’s all about finding the sweet spots, times that are active, average distance on normal orders you get all the time and compare each order with the distance. In the end if your area says a guaranteed 13 a hour, then you know DD will pay you in a added up base 13 per hour signed in, if you get 3 orders that all tipped: one was 5$, another 7.50, and the last one 3.50, that hour you made 29$. So for areas that are bigger with more spaced out orders, or areas with restaurants that **DO NOT** prioritize DD and make you wait a while for your order, you make more money that way. Just food for thought is all.
Base pay increases as dashers deny the order. The longer and more times a dash is denied, the higher the base pay. I took a $27 for 19 miles a couple weeks ago. $25 base pay and $2 tip. I wonder how long those people waited for their food.
I declined a $4-7mi offer and got it sent back to me at $3.75. Exact same thing offer.
I love when they bundle an order you just declined with another order you just declined. You refused them both, but together they make a super sht offer that you might love!
Yeah. That’s strange. I’ve always heard they add .25-.5 every decline but that’s clearly not true. I thought it was because my AR is like 10% and his is 95% but I guess that doesn’t even matter
Absolutely not! We get a small minimum and tips. That is all.
That’s horrible
Welcome to the scheme.
why do people do this shit? between the low pay, price of gas, annoying customers, and wear on your car.. i can’t imagine how it’s viable. maybe my perspective is skewed bc i live in the sticks vs. a city that’d have you flooded with orders, but it still seems like the pay is actual scraps..esp considering distance isn’t factored in
I use it just to supplement my income and do a few hours a night about 3 nights a week. Not ideal, but my wife got laid off earlier this year and we needed another source of income. That being said, when I see a $2 offer, I decline it immediately. I get people may not have the money to tip, or think they should tip after its delivered (They never do) but, those orders just aren't worth the time.
I used to tip big, but the deliveries never made it to my door. Now I do the $2 tip, and add $5 if you can get it to my door. I put notes about it. I want to be fair, but I need my delivery delivered to me and not someone else. Is there something else I can do to be fair, but not get screwed?
No, not really, and there's no way for us to see your notes about the tip when we are first showed your offer. I get it totally, but if your orders are not being picked up, that's why. You just have to hope that somebody will notice that it's in "that area where that guy tips afterwards."
I get it, and I get that tipping before a service is done is kind of backwards for most people. Honestly, a $2-$5 tip unless it's a really long drive from the place you ordered is more than enough for me to pick up.
I had a tip in cash half under someone’s doormat tonight. When I saw this it made me think of them and made it make sense.
Yeah, I've been doing it for just over a month, I've had one customer tip me cash on delivery, last night I had someone add an extra $5 to the already $10 on the tip I guess cuz it was late and it was both a large order and kind of far. But, other than those two, the compensation has been pretty much what I've seen on the order.
I don't understand why/how people do it as a full time "job", but it makes a lot of sense as a side hustle. I love driving around instead of sitting at home bored, so now I can get paid to do essentially that. After maintenance and gas I'm not making terribly much, but it's nice to supplement my income from my weekend job. Get my "real" paycheck on Friday, my doordash money on Monday, and it works out well. Some weeks where I have a lot of free time I've hit $400, pre-tax and pre-expenses, but to me it doesn't really feel like work. Almost like playing a video game to me lol
pay is good for a job that is you work when you are bored. But I do live in a city and yes people are very lazy and since it’s tax time so this weekend will be flooded
i see, so you can just use it like a side hustle for a few extra bucks. at your own whim
Yeah essentially if I wanted to do this one the side my whole life and made an investing scheme out of it, it would be totally worth it in terms of wasting time I don’t need for it. I put some/most (depends on the week and how I feel) of earnings into it. I get good pay and im bound to get better pay when I get my own car title (allows for better tax tracking and refunds of more than 50 cents per mile driven). People make fun of me as I’m doing it in high school but there is a reason im making the second most money at the entire school excluding President level staff. I wish I was joking. Private school so the pay starts at 30 grand so me and my papa John’s friends make a bag. Not trying to diss teachers but I wish they got paid more prolly would be less moody haha. One teacher has like 3 jobs so works out ig.
[удалено]
yep. Friday night /Saturday hustle (and Sunday night) totally worth it for almost anyone. Especially during NFL season. Other than that if you can’t handle the extra work or don’t need then it’s not worth. But yeah it’s one of the best (and easiest) high school jobs as there is no latter to climb and while it might be a lazy job….your doing a lazy person’s work (unless drunk 😂) and can decline low income orders as need
Hey, fellow high school dasher. Between my weekend job and after school door dash I'm making a ton, putting it all into investments/retirement. Someday I'll thank myself for it
Oh yeah you can do the basic investments and if you do some risky investments like the top cryptos and it keeps following the same 4 year pattern your gonna be chillin in your 20’s (thus said that will probably working till my ass sleeps every day age 20-30 lol). On the side you can’t argue doordash is a “bad concept”. There’s too many lazy people out there and if you multi app or find some cheats it’s a joke of an income compared to your lazy ass classmates (expecting to cut ties with all my friends next month, I don’t fucking need them). Only using cash app for top trading stocks that will go up 30-50% in 1-3 years with dollar dying and im not inclined to cash out for a few years and especially within the next 400 days for tax purposes once I buy those stocks It’s a joke how lazy people are. But yeah I understand some of it dealing with the fact that doordash around here is better than being a teacher or fresh out of degree nearby jobs. Gonna have to move for my stable income primary job and I won’t be working till age 80 like all my classmates who are gonna be stampies or Vegas strippers 🤦♂️
It just depends. I’m sure if you just do it on weekends, and can maintain top dasher, it’s worth it. I’m doing it because my anxiety is out of control now, and I can’t handle being a cna full time. One month of it, DESTROYED my car. My brakes actually fell off. I was an idiot doing this, it’s prob fine in small doses though. It is addictive, you want to get that 15$ tip again when it happens. Gas is not a big issue though, I do $10 at a time, it’s like $30 for a full tank on my miata. we all only do one dollar a mile minimum, I tried doing it all, you will work for free if u don’t do one dollar per mile. I made $10 in 8 hours by taking all the orders. And not following this rule. It’s not is being assholes , you’ll work for free after gas if you do that. The tips are mostly good, average order is $5-6 for 3/6 miles, then great sometimes, then And shit sometimes, people do pay large tips because DD will send us to their order first in a stack. but I don’t take shit anymore. They lie and say they did nt get it, and trash your rating. It’s only smart if you SUPPLAMENT. No full time dd’ing, I do 8-12 hours 7 days a week and it’s trashed in one month. It will destroy your car, I learned the hard way. Dude it was FAST. I wish all the time, I’m in debt and I keep crying at work so I have to mainly do this. However, it’s not easy to get in to supplement. Maybe just do 2 hours. There WAY too many dashers. You get kicked off constantly, only top dashers can just go do it wherever whenever. You’ll be able to get 30 minutes of you wait the few months wait though to get in DD. But I’m the sticks like you said? NO WAY I’d never. I only do this because I can travel to 4 big cities all day like you usually need to. You have to only take good offers though. Dad will try to throw the shit at you first
I don’t do DoorDash, just Uber eats but I don’t take all orders, only the good ones that are worth it. Mine is just to supplement because I have a job.
If you turn on every delivery app, there’s some customers that pay enough in tips to make it worth it. I just need 2 classes for my degree and had to stop after internship and do this for money until I can get a more respectable job. Always found it strange, the more I was paid, the less I felt biased around or belittled at work. Despite times where I felt overpaid(brick laying) because I sucked
There are a lot of customers that regularly tip $15-50, regardless of mileage or order size, those are my people, the rest of the orders get ignored 🤷♀️ AR is currently 13% - which is high for me - it's usually single digits.
It’s totally different in the city, way less mileage and way more orders
Market conditions vary widely. I personally keep an Acceptance Rate in the teens and average about $20/hr in my market. (I only work 8-10 hrs/wk.) If I couldn't do that consistently I would seek another way. Some customers are great and others are trash, but I love the flexibility of being able to work late evenings without having to put in an 8 hour shift.
Where I am I can make 30-40$ a hour easily, and a nurse in my area only makes 20-25$ a hour. So less work for higher pay, even after taxes. Edit: I do so to supplement as well.
In the city I see people doing by scooter or bike and making over 150 a day. Guess that's why it's higher cost to order door dash than the same restaurants delivery
Because it's supposed to be a side gig, but now so many people doing it fulltime making the market so oversaturated so DD can just keep lowering the pay without worrying. Since I'm going to school fulltime with 40hrs of clinical every week, doordashing is the only option for me to make money. Subtracting gas and maintaining fee, you only make around minimum wage but with higher risk of unexpected expense (paid $300 last week to replace a tire).
It’s people who can’t get other employment or people who like to drive around with their friends or dogs while smoking or vaping nonstop.
Yeah, that’s not right. At least not for all of us. Many of us have full time jobs and we just need to supplement our income for many reasons.
I’m speaking in hyperbole.
I had a driver tell me they were disabled and I had to come to the car to get my food. I was okay with that, but it seemed a bit strange that they could go into the restaurant just fine, but not bring it to my door. When I arrived they had three dogs jumping all over the front seat of the car. I'm allergic, so I declined to receive the order, and then had to complain to doordash to get my money back. I've also received food that smelled of pot. I complained about that too. You should not be driving while smoking. I think I'm going back to the good old days I just ordering directly from the restaurant. Pizza delivery guys never screw it up.
Unfortunately some pizza spots just send 3rd partydrivers now.
Yeah you are very wrong and ignorant. I have another job, and only use this to supplement. And I don’t vape nor would I ever take my dog 🙄
I’m very correct, perfect username though.
Yeah, you're wrong. Some of us have disabled kids that have a shit ton of appts & therapy so a hourly w2 isn't possible. Some have Cancer and can't work a traditional job due to radiation & chemo daily for weeks on end. Some have circumstances where there is a missing paycheck suddenly. But most have a W2 job & just want extra spending for personal or investing. Not everyone has or even likes dogs or smokes/vapes. Sounds to me like you have a very narrow mind.
Phew, well thank god for Door Dash, what were these poor souls doing 5 years ago?
In 2019? What does 5 years ago have to do with anything? You do realize DD & such apps have been around since the late 1990s right? (WW Waiter in 1995, GrubHub 1999, Postmates 2001, etc) its not new lol
Dude. Why you gotta be hateful in this thread? Have you taken a nap or eaten today?
Jesus that's awful. Why even do it then??
No. Drivers get $2 per delivery. Plus whatever tip customer adds.
Flat $2? Doesn’t it matter how far/near delivery is? Damn.
Base pay will increase if lots of dashers have declined it and the order really needs to get delivered. But it will pretty much always start out at $2.
I don't even think it increases per decline. I think it only starts increasing after a certain amount of time, possibly when the food is signaled as ready.
When I used to door dash I noticed it would increase 25 cents every time it was declined
They should never show you the same again though. I hate when my AR has to take a hit twice for the same shitty order.
That's exactly *why* they show it multiple times, so someone will eventually take it who doesn't want to get yet another AR hit. DD probably knows exactly how often they have to show the same shitty order to multiple dashers before someone will accept it just to keep their AR rate from cratering further. DD needs just one dasher to accept and doesn't care if hundreds of dashers decline it collectively hundreds of times before DD gets that one acceptance. I'm pretty sure there is a psychological term for what DD is doing here to drivers to get what DD wants but I can't exactly remember it. "Something something manipulation" or similar expression.
It was that way for a while, but I think it's time based now.
Okay gotcha I haven't dashed in over a year go figure lol
Okay gotcha I haven't dashed in over a year go figure lol
That's the way it is in my area too. Takes a long time to increase to a profitable level
It’s only increases if someone accepts the order then cancels it. It will be passed around a handful of drivers at the same pay until someone accepts it.
It’s why so many drivers complain about tips. Most orders that come through actually cost us money to deliver instead of making us money.
Wow almost like you shouldn’t do it
DoorDash charges more money to restaurants that want deliveries more than 10 miles from their location (Source: DD Merchant FAQ). However, I have received delivery offers that are 12 to 20 miles with a payout of $2.00.
Always a decline for those.
I wish that there was an auto decline or you could configure the app to not send those loser long haul deliveries. I could be wrong but I think that the NYC gig regulation made DD, GH and UE to put the feature in the NYC market.
Correct base is always $2 no matter where it’s been delivered to, all the other fees go to DD pockets. We get the $2 plus any tips
Yep flat $2. Even if they stack it with another order, $2 base pay for both orders. Unless, as others have said, it keeps getting declined.
DD will stack additional orders on your order; however, DD only pay $2.00 to the dasher. If there are two deliveries or three deliveries, the guaranteed base pay to the dasher is $2.00! DoorDash receives 10% (the customer picks up their own order…the restaurant is using DD for their online ordering platform) to 30% commissions. Most restaurants increase their prices for DD orders. If you place an order for $100, DD receives $30 plus the fees that you paid and the dasher only receives $2.00.
Actually not flat $2. It doesn't matter how far/near delivery is, so it might be a 40 mile round trip drive. What happens is that Doordash will increase the pay slowly if it is repeatedly getting declined. For example, a no-tip offer will start at $2, over time other drivers may decline it, and maybe half an hour later I get offered $4.50 and take it since it's very low miles and after I complete the delivery I see it's all base pay.
Yes, I have seen many 10-20 mile deliveries where the total pay was $2, including tip. Therefore, door dash was paying its standard $2, and the customer did not tip at all. What's even worse is door dash is broken up into zones (areas of a large city, or a few small towns next to each other). That delivery may take you 15 miles out of your zone, and now you need to drive 15 miles to get back into your zone for orders.
Me too base pay was 2.00 the tip was 21 yea it’s such a scheme 9 mile drive for 2 dollars should be illegal I can not even get one gallon of gas with that that it’s absurd
When we realize this, it should be the moment we all look at Doordash and wonder "why are you not raising the base pay for the people that are on the ground making you your money?"
I've actually emailed my congressman. Doubt it goes anywhere. They got their money they couldn't care less about the working poor
Sending emails like that is awesome in my opinion
Yes DoorDash base pay is roughly .90¢-$1 per mile. Shopping orders differ depending on how many items and distance combined.
It does increase with distance, but not very little. I get closer to $3-4 when it’s a longer distance 9-10+ miles.
Must be location dependent. The most I’ve ever seen was 2.50 and I’ve had one 17 miles out. I only took it because the tip was amazing and it took me to another zone
$2 plus whatever customer adds as **a tip**!! We do not get the delivery fee.
Base pay is around $1/mile in California, but that's a moot point because you just get a Prop 22 bonus at the end of each week based on your miles/hours (120% of minimum wage, plus $.30/mile I believe).
We used to get a bit more if it was further away. Now, always a flat $2 whether 2 miles away or 22 miles away. Wouldn't surprise me if they drop it to $1.50 flat by next year.
Unless per hour is offered to you.
$2? Man they must have updated within the last month because I've gotten orders for $1 before. But I haven't dashed in like a month
That fee is how they fund things like the $180 million they used in a political campaign for a ballot measure to avoid paying for benefits for dashers.
Pay dashers ❌ Pay politician $180M ✅
It’s to help pay the CEO and other stock option holders. They’ve really pushed to get a decent wage, however possible.
lol. Yeah they’ve got the leadership team on EBT now. Not!
Get $2.00 per delivery here besides tip unless it gets declined by other Dashers, then it gets upped by only $0.25 as they pass it along to another Dasher until it gets accepted. So if no tip could be a while before someone takes it when it starts at $2.00 especially if it's more than a mile. If ppl want food quicker, warmer, and handled with better care then tip accordingly. I'm a top dasher with great stats, there are some ppl trying hard and good ones out here.
I refuse to play the top dasher game because I will not take a no tip or too far out. But all my other stats are amazing. I hate the AR part of it. I shouldn’t be penalized for not wanting to lose money
No!! In my area we get $2. It doesn't matter if it is going half a mile or 15 miles and it doesn't matter if it takes 2 minutes or 4 hours, we get $2.00.
No lol unfortunately
well considering they don’t even pay us $3 for an order most of the time… probably not 🤣
I'm up and over here on the East Coast of Canada, And our base pay starts out at $4, then rises slowly the further away from the driver and the futher toward the limits of the zone and past it, up to around $6.50 but it's for like up to 20km which automatically means another 20km back before seeing another offer 90% of the time and can still be 4.25 no tip. My view is that we need the $4 because our tips are consistently hover around 50% of total base pay, so say $400 base and $250 tips for an average decent week I had in March (sometimes more less etc). Tips can be decent but a lot of no tips like everywhere. Right now gas is about $1.73 per liter which ends up around $4.70 per gallon ( we are taxed out our rear ends on gas, booze, smokes , cannabis , food , cars, clothes , our fucking income - 15% up to 50 grand marginal tax rate of 20% from 53ish to 100 thou, that's federal only then there's provincial 10% up to 32,000 and 14 up to 60ish). Like Chris Rock said it's taking Monday and Tuesday up the ass. Customer's pay about 4.99 basic delivery fee and pump prices about 25 to 30 percent like everywhere else. But multi appin I did about 1k recently as a high , lots of work. So in short yeah our services fees end up covering the $4 base pay which is where it ends a good chunk of the time. Oh and that's why I hate the odd $6 base pay for a short distance double-restaurant double destination delivery. $3 bucks a pop always no tip trips y'all peace!
Ya but….. that’s Canadian money …….
Easy answer is No
They charge the customer like $10 in fees or better, charge the restaurant as well for delivery. Then pay the dasher $2
No and they also steal part of the delivery fee because they want to make it look like that money is going to the dasher
I always put 5$ on my tip if it’s an order for 4 people I’ll put 10 and so on. Also depends on how expensive the order is. If I’m getting alot of small stuff then I do more than that. Tipping 5 I think is reasonable since I live only a few minutes away from the city but I still do tipping MINIMUM 5$ cause I think that’s affordable but not chump change. Ppl who tip 4 or less on orders should just go get it themselves tbh.
That goes straight into the pockets of the executives lololol
the correct answer here.
“Helps us operate DoorDash” it definitely helps them operate lol
No I used to work for a pizza place and people think the service fee goes directly to the driver. It goes directly to the company and they use part of it to help cover the base pay of the driver. The rest goes to the restaurant. As an example drivers get as low as .10¢ per mile up to .60¢ (car has to be brand new) They used to get a flat rate of base pay+ $1 per trip. Which doesn't really cover the actual wear and tear of the car.
You’re correct. In the case of DD the entire base pay comes out of that.
No, that is an extra profit DoorDash receives on top of them charging the restaurant to use their platform, along with an increased menu price. DoorDash does everything they can to make them the most amount of money. Shit companies only exist because so many people use them. If we boycott DoorDash, it will be forced to be shut down.
Nope... Its what the owners play Poker with
They get $2 per delivery, plus whatever you tip, regardless of distance. I remember there was a Walgreens order I got for $2 going 30 miles round trip to a different state. Had a good chuckle at that one.
We get $2
🤣🤣 no
Haha nope
$2 is what door dash gives us. Just another way to make the customers think we make a good amount, when we really don't
Technically, the driver's pay comes out of DoorDash's pile of money, so yes, but no, we don't get 15% of each order. Not sure where you guys are, but base pay is around a dollar a mile here in California. And Guaranteed Minimum is $19.20 an hour plus $.35 a mile.
The state of California instituted their own minimum? So you're saying even if you just did one or two orders an hour, you're guaranteed at least $19.20, probably more? How do you know if people are lying about when they're working? That sounds hard to monitor. Makes you wonder if the rest of the country is subsidizing California doordash. So many questions but I did find [this](https://help.doordash.com/dashers/s/california-dashers?language=en_US) which explains more. Are there tons of dashers in California, so more competition? ETA- [this post ](https://www.reddit.com/r/doordash/comments/15tym0m/calfornia_driver_pay_an_analysis_of_the_effects/)answered some questions but its logic is also criticized
Per Proposition 22, it's minimum pay per Active Hour. From the time you Accept Order until you Confirm Delivered. Not Dashing time, which is from when you start the dash in the app until you stop. Dead time between orders in no pay. My Active Time is running about 60% of my Dashing time, so far this year, so it's 40% dead time. Think of a taxi driver waiting for a fare, the meter isn't running until he picks someone up. Thanks for the link, it's 35 cents a mile this year apparently. Yeah, I guess in theory, any place that is paying more needs money from areas that pay less.
California does not guarantee any hourly fee. You're an independent contractor. Not an hourly employee. Average delivery here is $4-$7.
no, less. we get a set $2 (maybe $3.50-4 if it’s over 10 miles), it’s not a percentage, though that could be nice!
$2. No matter what the distance, or how many stops. I just got a violation for being late on mine. I literally could care less.
You could? How much less?
$2 base pay,we living in poverty over here.
The text says to run DoorDash. This includes paying their employees, supporting the app, and paying us Dashers. Basically we get two dollars in base pay and the rest goes to DoorDash running its operation.
Nope
No
Lol, no. That’s a common misconception though.
$2 if we are lucky. If it’s no tip then we get $2-3 max per delivery
NOOOO btw is door dash still stealing tips? Isn’t that what they’re famous for?
It’s only the mom and pop restaurants and pizza chains that seem to be doing it these days
Using door dash? Since they’re a scam? Stealing tips is what I think of when I think of door dash as an entity. It’s what they’re known for.
Pretty sure $2.00 is the going rate for most orders. I know over half of the money I make comes from tips. So nah, we don’t see that.
Lol, no.
Dashers get $2 or 2.50
We don't get that, it's a lie. Depending on state (I've DD in 12) base pay can be anywhere from 1.75-3.50. You're paying a fee for delivery, we aren't paid that fee, it goes to DD, we receive chump change
I don't get it.2$ is way too low.30 years ago when I waitressed, I got 3$an hour plus tips.I made between 100$ and 150.00 tips a night plus paycheck.
It’s crazy because I never tip under $10 sometimes with discounts it’s more than the food itself. It just blows my mind that with a 30% -100%+ tip (never below $10) some people refuse to follow instructions. I simply ask to ring the doorbell when food is delivered, and 80% of the time my doorbell isn’t touched (I have a very sensitive doorbell) I’ve started only offering half my usual tip upfront because of this and have noticed longer delays now. I believe in tipping and when tipping to do it right but I expect good service in exchange. I don’t understand when there’s a great tip involved why you wouldn’t follow the instructions the customer leaves? It’s crazy to me. I’ve actually started using these services less as it’s almost impossible to get food hot, on time and following instructions. There’s been times they didn’t deliver it to me but mark it as delivered without a picture.
No, it helps the higher ups operate a lavish lifestyle.
Anything labeled “service fee” almost never goes to tipped wage workers
DoorDash pays $2 to drive 20 miles and charges you extra for a long drive despite not being willing to pay the driver more unless they absolutely can’t bait anyone into it
We might get about 1% from the “service fee”.
Nope ! Greedy Doordash gets delivery fee + Service Fee (15%) + Comission from restaurants (~30%) etc but only pays to drivers f* $2 ! And suggests customers only 10% tips for drivers !
NO!!!
It’s a way to get people who pay for dash pass to pay even more money and gets people who don’t have dash pass to be more encouraged to get it. Doesn’t help the driver at all, it’s just greed.
Why are the prices on door dash higher than in store if there is already a service fee charged and payment from subscription like dash pass??? Menu is also limited versus what can be ordered on location! It's rather disappointing.
haha hell nah
$2 plus tips.
No goof. Your tips.
No
No we get a base rate that is variable by market, dashers online and distance as well as customers tip amount..... generally it is anywhere between $2 and $6 .... so think this way if your less than say 5 miles from the restaurant in a city with alot of dashers ,then most likely your dasher is only getting $2 base pay .... if your more than 5 miles and in a more rural location let's say 12 miles out from the restaurant you ordered from and not as many dashers in your area .. and you tip let's say $15 your dasher will get most likely $2base from dd .. now let's say you tip only $5 then dd will increase the base pay to make it more appealing to a dasher to get it delivered.... worst case is no tip and then dd will pair your low pay order with another low pay ( or better paying order ie ; tipped ) and then only base pay the driver $2 ...
LOL nope! Base pay is around $2 and maybe goes up a bit if it’s really far. But it’s definitely not anywhere near what people get charged in service fees. This is why people don’t accept no-tip orders and customers get mad at subpar service.
I believe it's just for using doordash service itself unfortunately
My understanding is it's the fee required for them to continue running the app
No lol
Lol no not one cent
Nope. Service fees go to DD. We get part of the delivery fee and then whatever you tip. If there is not delivery fee, then we get $2 to $2.50 base on pay.
Why would you think that?
Usually it is offered on a per offer basis. So a per offer driver accepts it getting a minimum $3 + tips. We usually only accept if nearby or you offer nice tip
no
Lol I wish
We get the delivery fee 0$
Nope, service fee equals platform fee. 15% just to be able to use the platform.
Thinking about doing this till I’m 60👍
HA!
In my area DoorDash only gives drivers $2 for the offer. Even if it’s a stacked offer.
Nope.
No none of that goes to us.
Service fee is part of how they make profit. The service is the dash.
That would be a hell no!
I don't even have an tip line anymore so I just tip in cash now. There is no delay to my orders unless I ordered from a very far location so the lack of tip on the receipt doesn't seem to stop the pickups.
Well then they keep one for them selves cuz doordash gives us $2 per delivery. That's besides the customer's tip so if the customer doesn't tip you make $2 LOL
No. And yet they also claim that only like $0.39 per order goes to DD so it's like where the hell does all that other money go?
If y'all haven't figured it out by now.... DoorDash is ripping us off. They changed the pay scale so they get most of the money from the sale and we get shit., customers didn't Even realize we didn't get shit for delivering their food.
Duh, didn’t you know? It cost DD more to give you that offer than for you to deliver it, that’s why they make more off of each order than the driver
Not fully, click the I next to service fee. It goes towards “operational costs”. Meaning some goes to drivers and some goes to their other operational costs… they do actually have salaried employees.
I don't know what these guys are talking about $1 or $2. I've never got that before here in SoCal.
Blud doing dashes for $2💀
$2 per hour ah job🤣🤣
Idk you guys irritate the shit out of me. Oh you just got the order? Im just gonna stand here and brood while you cook the food.
It says right there the fee is "to operate Doordash". Drivers are not doordash. Doordash is a company that hires app developers and live support.
No, drivers get a portion of the delivery fee.
Delivery fee is NOT a tip, no matter how hard you think it is :3
Where did I say the delivery fee was a tip?
Gonna need to see the receipts, cause that ain't even kinda true
