Beginners guide to Doordash

 

Search in video

all right guys so there's a lot of

videos that are out there already that

are just like this but

mine's better who wants to sit through a

20-minute video and watch paint dry so

this is everything you need to know

about doordash in less than five minutes

let's say you've already signed up pass

the background check and your account is

good to go

to start your first delivery you can

click on dash now but if you can't do

that the schedule is released for

everybody

six days in advance at midnight if you

don't want to stay up until midnight

that's understandable wake up in the

morning and look at the sixth

day on the schedule or the second to

last and you'll have all sorts of shifts

and half an hour intervals you can

schedule for upon signing up doordash

will tell you that they're going to send

you a red card as well as a hot bag now

the hotbag one is obvious it's you know

just a bag that keeps the food warm but

keep in mind there's a lot of

restaurants that have bags that won't

even fit in this hot bag

two that come to my mind is bob evans

and applebee's

once you get some money on your hands

you can buy some better ones on amazon

for like twelve to twenty dollars

and as for the red card think of it as

like a company card you use the red card

to pay at restaurants that don't already

have mobile ordering or like an online

payment system

typically smaller businesses and you use

it to pay for shop and deliver orders

like cvs and walgreens but doordash will

let you know before you even accept the

order that is a red card order what

orders to accept learn what restaurants

in your area you want to take and what

to avoid

if you're fast food restaurants like you

know mcdonald's burger king taco bell if

their lobbies are closed

chances are you don't want to take that

in the middle of a lunch or dinner rush

a lot of places are drive through only

because of the pandemic and honestly

you're gonna be waiting there 20 minutes

and if you're going to be waiting there

20 minutes for six or seven dollars it's

probably not going to be worth it

if you take an order and then you get

there and you realize the line is longer

than

thor's holy penis then you can click the

question mark unassign the order and be

on your way but just know you can't do

that too much i'll get back to that

a lot of the times the orders i take

i'll look at it from a mathematical

standpoint if the mileage is more than

half of the total payout of the order

aka

this or this it's not going to be worth

it you want to try and do at least

one dollar per mile round trip all right

now let's go to the rating system

this only matters after you've completed

100 deliveries

this doesn't matter we are gifted the

ability to say no to orders we don't

want to take so let's use that

the only incentive you get from keeping

your acceptance rate high is the top

dasher program which is a joke the top

dasher program is a program that lets

you dash whenever you want you don't

need to schedule you can go out anytime

you want which is nice but

you have to keep your acceptance rate

above 70 and all of your ratings should

be high now on paper that doesn't sound

bad but a 70

acceptance rate means you're going to be

taking a lot of low ball orders no tip

um high mileage and you're really going

to cut your hourly rate by five to ten

dollars an hour just to be able to dash

whenever and if you're smart with your

scheduling and you make sure to keep

remembering to check on it

um it's not really worth it your

completion rate does matter

again if you get to a restaurant you're

waiting way too long and you want to

unassign the order and go and

you know cut your losses you can do that

just be careful after 100 deliveries you

don't want your completion rate to be

below 80

and to be honest with you i wouldn't

even get it below 90 there's going to be

some times where you absolutely need to

unassign an order where you cannot

afford to wait that long you want to

make sure you have your get out of jail

free card anything below 80

can get you deactivated lastly i'm going

gonna explain the payout

so doordash pays you three dollars base

pay now doordash will not show you a tip

more than five dollars so

let's say someone orders on the app and

they tip 15

and then obviously you get your three

dollar base pay now when doordash sends

you the order and offers it to you it's

actually only going to say eight dollars

so it's only going to show you five

dollars of their tip

and then the three dollar base pay they

do this to eliminate cherry picking but

of course as soon as you finish the

order you complete it you hand it to

them whatever then you will see the

remainder of the tip

however do not gamble on this if you see

an order going 10 miles and it's only

eight dollars you probably don't want to

take it because if you get to their

house and you hand it to them and you

realize that it was only eight dollars

it was only the five dollar tip and

you're

also don't take walmart did i miss

know what's up anyways good luck and
