I’ve noticed that too for the end of the day I’m getting orders closer to my home and then I decide to end at that point

It's infuriating how Grubhub and DoorDash underpay their drivers, forcing them to rely on tips for survival. These companies create a toxic work environment while reaping the profits. It's high time they pay a fair wage, provide cars or mileage, and treat their drivers with the respect they deserve.

Without going into my situation I dash six nights a week for three hours. I make as much as possible, but sometimes I come up with less than I would like. I will take an order that is more miles than pay as long as it's not too many miles. From my own experience it balances out and I make more money than miles driven. If it's $10 for 15 miles then I'm not gonna take that, but if it's $11 for 9 miles even if it's out of the zone a little, then I'll be ok with it. My goal is to make a certain amount in my three hours, but like I said sometimes I have to be ok with coming up short, cause another day can have me coming out way above what I normally would. Things are not the same in every zone though. Sometimes I can drop off an order and get more orders than I know what to do with, but other times even when it's supposedly busy I can drop off an order and get squat. it's just about being patient and being ok with making a certain amount in a certain amount of hours. I don't always get three orders per hour. It does get frustrating though sitting and waiting and nothings coming through even though it's supposed to be busy.

I agree with this 100% I definitely schedule my hours on every Monday for the week!

Hey Bentley, just wanted to thank you for the short videos very concise very to the point exactly what we need.

Thanks for the updates brotha, I hope one day you can set up a live show, it would be great to talk live with you

Excellent insights! Thank you.

Subbed! Thank you so much for the realistic and pragmatic tips!

I live in an area where we have a couple small cities/towns right next to each other and some of my orders will take me into neighboring towns so when I drop off my order i'll go to the nearest hotspot instead of back to my home town. you basically just do what the app suggests.

You are awesome! I’ve never had to wait no more than 5min for an order.

Thank you for these tips!

I liked what you had to say: straight up, no chaser, just the facts with a dash of flair!😊👍

Every time I’ve tried pushing for a $ minimum I’ve made less. Although aiming for a mile per dollar has worked well in my area to still make good money. I try for at least a 1:1 ratio so long as it isn’t super far away from most food unless it pays for itself to do so

Peak pay is only available in my area when everything is closed lol

Fantastic information❤ New dasher and I literally jumped right in 😬. Definitely needed those tips, you put my mind at ease. Thank you

Good info for new part-time dashers like myself

This video has really made a step in my mind

🧀🧀Be Cheezy! My bf just put me on, and I was psyched to see an NC boy. I'm a new dasher and your advice was helpful, THANK YOU!

I got 2 orders earlier tonight in Big Bear, CA! I was so thankful for finally receiving orders during a $3 peak pay timeframe! I made $40.64 which I think is amazing! I had to end the dash driving on the main boulevard where everything is since I wasn’t receiving any orders for 15 minutes or so. I check again earlier where everything closes at 11:00 pm PST which was 10 minutes before closing as I’m home and it said very busy which doesn’t make any sense considering closing times were in 10 minutes. By the time I get there it’s already closed but I thanked the heavenly father above for providing me what I needed today.

i live in between two hot zones with one being at the edge of my neighborhood so i can chill at home waiting for orders instead of waiting in my vehicle somewhere. i feel very fortunate. i’m averaging about $20-25 an hour and dash about 3 to 4 hours about 6 days a week. i always schedule EVERY SINGLE DAY so i’m on every day of the week and then if i don’t feel like working i don’t. i love the freedom of doing this! plus customers seem to love me and add to my tips after allot of my hand deliveries. communication and being nice and cheerful and always asking how their day is, goes a LONG way!

Thank you Bentley 💯 👍🏾

I work a full time but I def try to do dashing after work during week ,keep my rates high for priority and do at least 3 or 4 deliveries per day.Weekends I am working on doing more time😊

Thanks Bently.

I almost never see peak pay in my part of Orlando anymore. Only area I see peak pay in is from, like, midnight to 6 a.m. in a part of town that, even with peak pay, the orders are less than normal orders in every other area.

Thank you

Wendy’s lobby here in Kansas City are sometimes closed and so i choose not to do that order when they are

3/4 orders per hr. Is no way with these entitied customers who think because they tipping 2-3 dollars they expect you to find their apartment in the maze of a complex.. ridiculous!

A few questions...1) does doordash get a portion of the food cost? 2) if nobody delivers the food, does the restaurant still get paid from doordash

How would we know know if the restaurant would take a long time or not?

The only time they offer peak pay is in the middle of the night

Have you guys been blocked or not getting orders from your normal restaurants that you usually get in a certain area

Will have use a card from doordash to shop?

I don’t have the shop preference only pizza bag verification.

A Mcdonald location and IHOP are on my crap list. I swear I feel as if the long wait makes it calculate as an almost free delivery .

Avoid "Fast" Food spots after 21:30 at least on Weekend.

Love how he caught himself mid sentence at 7:05. He was gonna say “I don’t give a F” 😂

How important is to dasher?

Sadly, although these all sound like good suggestions, they won't work in a small market. At least not in the one I'm in.

Dasherdiect cards are business cards for strictly business use, funded by Stride Bank in Oklahoma, if you read their contract, this card is only to be used for your business, NOT FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY, or anything other than Business related espenses.

How can I get a viovlation taken off

Is there a way to check the milage of the destination once you’ve accepted the order? I can never see how far the drop off is and I keep getting sent way out of my zone

Monday is my first day being a dasher and I’m kinda nervous about it. When I go to pick up the order do I just go to the counter and tell them I’m here to pick up a door dash or do I have to wait in line? It’s little thing like that that got me nervous even wi know after my first dash that will all go away.

The past few weeks have been going downhill again. Really saturating with $5 or less offers...I have actually had to narrow my zone to only the more affluent areas and only full service restaurants. Plus having to limit my hours to late night. Feeling like a vampire at this point. Are there any cities that are not saturated? I may have to start traveling...

Is there a way you can see the delivery location b4 accepting the order? I don't understand how I could choose which order is right for my criteria if I can not see what's about to happen.

would you suggest another app other than Google Maps to use? it continues to send us the wrong way, keeping us from delivering some orders in a timely fashion.

I do this on the weekends. Do you have any stretching or exercise advice on driving for hours and hours?

I schedule my hrs and it only lets me dash for 2 hrs and within those 2 hrs I get like 3 order only! It's so frustrating! I called the company and they said I need to get to 200 orders to be top dashers. I am at 80 orders since I started 3 months ago 😮‍💨

Man i had the worst dash yesterday😶

I gotta be making $20 an hour for a good day. Time is always essential when dashing, I try for my orders to take no more than 20 min. BTW do you have issues with the app not showing the map when taking an order? I hate when it does that.

Damn brother. How come you're not a backup vocalist for Drake ? 😂😂

Your videos are good but did you try to dash Brooklyn NY 😂. Doordashing here 🤮 sorry. Also customers are 🤢 😄

Time is definitely money. I had an offer this morning.. $17.50 for 18miles... I said oh no. And it was a shopping staples trip. 12 items. Which means I would of spent 1hour and half. Not worth it. Declined

I try my damndest to stay away from all chain fast food and drive through. Oddly, after 10 p.m. I’ve come to love Taco Bell, though. The one by my house keeps their lobby open late, so I don’t have to hit drive through. And, for whatever reason, all the orders are $7 + and all of them are like .5 mile to 1.5 miles. Crazy. I can knock out each one in about 10 minutes because there’s no traffic. I’ll literally pause my orders after delivery until I get into Taco Bell parking lot. I’ll make 50-60 between 10 and midnight with little gas. What’s crazy is that every other order I get in that area at that time (Wawa, Wendy’s, McDonald’s, a different Taco Bell a few miles away, and a few bars) are ALWAYS for, like, 15+ miles, out of zone, for $5 or less.

I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few that uses pay per hour. People aren't doing the math. I average $11 per delivery and have cut my delivery miles in half. I have math to proof this and a large sample size. I'm willing to share the math. Feel free to reach out to me, especially you Bentley. Would love to chop it up with you.

Funny a lot of y’all in the comments used to brag about making 1,000-2,000 a week doing door dash and say other people not working hard enough….now look at yall😂

Lately I've been having to decline alot of orders . Like 8 miles for $5 or like 12 miles for $14... those are a complete waste of time for me, some days are really good, then the same day next week is horrible, I must have declined 20 orders last night because they were $3-5 orders for 4-6+ miles now my acceptance rate was like 52% and it's now down to 30%, you have any tips or anything on what I should do?

❤👍

I don’t understand why all these delivery platforms don’t hold higher standards for drivers. I don’t dash anymore because all the low life’s they allow to dash ruined it. Guess some day these platforms will see they loose so much money because of lack of knowing the people they allow do this. They cost the company and driver $$ because the customer has no idea if we good or a piece of 💩. It’s sad because I loved dashing but to much negative coming to drivers now is good ones are f#@$*%

you like tired in this video bro...be sure to take some time away from the hustle

This dude is stuck in the past because people who are on schedule aren't getting orders like they used to. Even when it's busy you have to wait long time to get orders if you are on schedule.

350 per week part time is childsplay😂

Lol 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Doordash is DEAD! Comeon man stop beating that horse that shit is dead! Time to move on!

Do not listen to this guy people. The video is like 90% propaganda. (1) Trying to get people to focus on the amount of money they make per day instead of per hour. Really! (2) Peak pay does not mean more money per hour, you may not get enough orders because too many drivers out. Ignore it and focus on time and location because tips is where the money is! Consider it a nice bonus when you're already out. (3) Stacked orders are sneaky! If it's 2 stores and 2 customers it's the same as 2 regular orders, just you can't cancel one that turned out to be morale-crushing junk because you've already picked up the food! (4) DD does NOT factor in wait time. That is a lie. Most of the pay for a decent order is TIP. If wait time was a factor all McDonalds and Popeyes orders would be at least $5 but anyone doing this for more than 2 months knows that isn't the case. (5) Do NOT focus on volume. More orders = more stress. Only do volume if your plan is only to take orders that go within a 1-2 mile radius of a hotspot. Propaganda to get more deliveries fulfilled. (6) OK, positioning. One good tip that happens to be good for both DD and drivers. (7) DD never takes me home, or anywhere I wanna be for that matter, unless I'm cherrypicking. (8) Avoid drive through yes but DD doesn't want late orders so another tip that happens to be good for drivers too The last bit about maximizing your time is a bit of fluff to cover up the subtle brainwashing sprinkled throughout the rest of the video. DD doesn't care about maximizing your time at all. Ignore AR, ignore Peak Pay, ignore TD, and make judicious use of the almighty Decline! DD is your CUSTOMER, *not* your boss!

Doordash is stilling tips from drivers !!! Watch out

Much respect 🫡 I really appreciate your videos and all the tips and helpful suggestions.. I live in Rockingham and it's smaller and doesn't always have the best options far as orders go.. but if u have any info on how I could make more $ in a town like this.. it would be great ✌️

When I saw your picture on the door dash flyer when my NEW KIT arrived; I was like AWEEEE SNAPS 🫰 😊
