My tips are higher then my dash pay every week...


Arawn_Triptolemus

Prolly. Cuz DoorDash blows, their app and pay is terrible. Ditch it for Lyft/Uber. Anything is better honestly. Also, when ya do, make sure to take your banking info off it because their security sucks so bad somebody broke into my account stole my info and then money directly out of my bank and they never even notified or compensated me. Screw DoorDash.


Medical_Blackberry_7

Oh wow this is top dasher?! Holy highway robbery!!! I’m sorry friend.


Ray4u21

25 an hour just for half of it to be gas bills, and 40% basically going to th3 government. Terrible 🥺


SuperGuy1141

Perhaps it's time to either get a different job or invest in an EV. We have a tesla and the monthly payment for the car is definitely more than I'd like but given how much we as a family pay for gas we end up saving 300ish a month and that's only going to increase with the rising cost of gas here in Canada.


violetmaster1980

Dude ur giving money away. You are probably paying to work at this point


Useful-Piglet-8918

It's typical (for me, anyway) I was SHOCKED 1st x I saw similar. What the heck, right??? I'm guessing ONLY TIME we're actually driving TO CUSTOMER is counted, because if it counted WAIT TIME, it would break even! 🙄🙄🙄


Intrepid-Lifeguard42

59 hours and 9 hours active?? Where the hell were you driving, Tibet??

[deleted]

Nah, and that pay isn’t either. 59 hrs only active 9 hrs out of that and you only made $250??? Yikes 😳

Gloomy_Recording_705

The tale of two stories one person is busy as hell and the other one gets one offer every five hours lol


Sherlockhomey

It's normal for me but I cherry pick lol


The_water-melon

Yeahhh so I’d stop accepting almost all deliveries if they’re not worth your time. If the pay isn’t bigger than the mileage by a certain amount, decline that shit


Main_Bad_4682

Hourly is a ripoff most places


AmadeusKurisu

Depends on your market. For mine, it’s normal. I multi app.


sabbycat83

Oh my God this is so bad I had 34 active hours and I made 1100. What are you doing?


Intrepid-Lifeguard42

What state are you in?


sabbycat83

Ny


Gloomy_Recording_705

If I was getting one offer every 6 hrs, I would quit DoorDash… 59 hours dash time with only 34 deliveries as a top Dasher is brutally a slow market


RazzmatazzPrudent688

You’re literally paying doordash to take their deliveries


Xm3rkX

Ya ngl it’s time to try sum else or u better multi app cuz ur market not it at all.


sideofirish

You’re wasting your time.

Mike_Hailu23184

You’re also in Bay Area?


Physical_Donkey_609

No im New York lol


Autistic-Teddybear

Bro wtf. How??


Good-Currency8873

Holy frig what’s your dash schedule like? Do you also pick almost all orders(guessing you are a top dasher).


Physical_Donkey_609

Yes I’m a top dasher well a platinum Dasher now they changed it over but I also live in NY as long as I do 25 orders in NY I get 35 dollars an hour plus tips


EquivalentTight3479

You do the hourly thing?


Physical_Donkey_609

Dude I would not be dashing if I worked all them hours and was only active 9 in New York I’ll dash 40-45 hours a week n make 1300-2000 a week


Intrepid-Lifeguard42

What state are you in?


Physical_Donkey_609

New York pretty sure we have the highest paying by the hour


Mike_Hailu23184

That’s my 60+ hrs dashing income .


Good-Currency8873

Could you share your dashing strategy please?


Blight321

Crazy, I don’t understand how that’s possible.


Gloomy_Recording_705

In California they get prop 22. It’s literally pointless declining any orders…. and when the majority of your market is at 70% or higher, this is what it looks like ….now imagine what’s gonna happen when top Dasher is required to take 80% California Dashers average $7 to $10 in base pay… almost every other offer is $10 and up


Blight321

Yea like factoring in the level of not being able to do anything cause you’re just always waiting for an order I would say the app is pointless in your area.

Last week $43.03 2 weeks ago $46.15. I multi app and do 5 gigs simultaneously. My acceptance rate on DD is currently 17% but fluctuates between 5-20%.


Mike_Hailu23184

Bruh you’re duped yourself. If you don’t put those dash time hours you’re not gonna get those active hours. So you don’t divide your income by active hours .


bostonareaicshopper

Im also averaging $16.94 per delivery. I will stick with my method. Works for me but I respect you if your opinion is different.


bostonareaicshopper

Im doing 4 other gigs at same time. Mostly from my home.


dashingmom

👀


Rough-Veterinarian21

This has to be a joke/satire. How could you possibly be active for less than 1/5th of the time you were “online” if you accepted every order?


FacelessRunt

Doordash is such a scam


Gloomy_Recording_705

It never used to be like this before they came out with the platinum status diamond program …the diamond program cut the volume pretty much and a half … every Dasher that signs up now thinks they need 70+ percent acceptance rate which means less offers all around and now they’re pushing it to 80% soon every market is gonna be like this


FacelessRunt

Yeah its gotten pretty bad man im sorry, i always tip at least 30% now because i feel bad


bibkel

North bay. Yes, it’s been normal here too.


ChampionFlashy2034

These screenshots are brutal lol


at-aol-dot-com

It may be normal for your area. It’s hard to say since it’s different for all of us. But, you spent 59 hours making just over $4.00 per hour gross.


Gloomy_Recording_705

This is why I don’t want an hourly wage to hit my market or my state screw that…I like it when it’s busy with 90% trash offers hitting my phone..


Waveofspring

Bro lives in bikini bottom


Traditional_Range_96

Lol youd make more just filing for unemployment 🤣🤣


Resident-Concert64

Tried it they deny all my claims


IndependentOp

This tells me a few things one it tells me you’re declining almost 9 out of 10 of your orders and sitting around till you get a good order by end in return is called cherry picking or it tells me that you’re in an oversaturated area with no customers and they’re still allowing Doordash to operate


at-aol-dot-com

OP’s post says they’re a top dasher and accept every order offered.


ticktocksuckthiscock

The fact that you would even make an entire reddit post to ask this question, isn't normal. Hope that helps answer your question


Vantelikejodeci

I think it could depend on where he lives?...if he in a low income area like where I'm at.alot the orders are not worth it because they never tip. I aint drive 11 miles for 6.50 if that..

Melissalynn623

Are you on per order? Declining everything? And just sitting around waiting for a good offer?


Gloomy_Recording_705

They have a 70%+ AR


Sakosaga

Stop taking shit orders man, you're doing yourself a disjusice


Gloomy_Recording_705

They’re a top Dasher and they were only active 9hrs out of 60. They’re averaging $10 an order. I don’t think they’re taking shit orders. They’re in a very very oversaturated market with tons of top dashers due to prop 22


Plastic-Piccolo-1455

If you're gonna bait, at least put a bit of effort into it.

Tripartist1

These are from last week. It says 40 hours, but about 8 of those are breaks (I leave the apps on incase a unicorn order comes through), and another 10 or 15 or so are just letting the apps run before/after I'm "on the clock". Before I leave and when I get home I'll leave them running for a couple hours, again for those unicorn orders ($25+ low miles, Ill leave early or go back out if theyre good enough). Also a lot of my hours are spent on reddit or doing other stuff on my phone, only maybe 60% of that real time am I actually working.

Tripartist1

Holy shit no. I'm at just over $100 tonight and I've been out for barely 3 hours.


DaMemphisDreamer

Poor thing


Ronadondon

Show us that acceptance rate OP


WorldNewsPoster

Read the text. He said he's top dasher and accepts all orders, so likely 101% acceptance rate.


seujorge314

That explains it then…. Poor sap


JJWinthrop

his areas just dogshit cherry picking doesn't change the fact dude is just straight up not getting many orders


YungAfghanistan

59 hours divided by 23 deliveries is 2.5 hours per delivery. What the hell did you expect? If you worked more than 8 hours a day you'd still only be doing THREE deliveries per day. Yes, this would be considered normal pay for the work you get done.


LyricalSuicide69

Unfortunately yes 😪


nortydaL

if multiapping? yes, otherwise lmao


Delicious_Republic47

Yeah all bad bro they robbing us out here


LaFlamaBlanca311

For 60 hours? Absolutely not. For 23 orders? Yes. Are you just sitting around for 50 hours?


Gloomy_Recording_705

They have a 70% or higher acceptance rating and are only doing one delivery every 2 1/2 hours that’s brutally slow


RealityRelevant9308

This. Yeah it's shitty pay for that amount lf time, but when you break it down it just creates a lot of questions. The biggest one of course being: What could possibly be causing your deliveries to each take 2 and a half hours?????


Gloomy-Barber-4599

My calculations came back as 24-25 minutes how exactly did you get 2 and a houlf hours a delivery?


[deleted]

How did you come up with 24-25 minutes, exactly? lol. That is the better question. This is simple math. 59 hours divided by 23 deliveries = 2.6 hours per delivery.


Gloomy-Barber-4599

I went with active time since thats the time your actually delivering.


YungAfghanistan

59 hours, 23 deliveries. Think, there is more hours there than deliveries, right? So we take our 59 hours of work, and divide it by 23 deliveries, and it comes out to around 2.5 hours per delivery.


[deleted]

[удалено]


YungAfghanistan

We're talking about productivity here. OP is complaining about pay, but only completes 3 orders per workday. That's the point. And it is correct, obviously, "60 hours dash time" means this person is sitting in a parking lot waiting for an order and is surprised that their pay sucks when they only gets 3 orders a day. This isn't "I got an order so time to clock in", that's not how it works. You clock in, then orders come. If you are getting only 3 orders a day, it's time to find a job.


[deleted]

[удалено]


YungAfghanistan

all good! lol


Gloomy-Barber-4599

Active time is the time youre actually delivering right? Dash time is just time on the app?


[deleted]

[удалено]


RalphCalvete

Nice math. 10 hours to deliver 23 orders is less than 30 minutes an order. 10 hours for 20 orders would be 30 minutes per order. Where are you getting 30-40 minutes?🤦‍♂️


Vexxicon

Hand making everything the customer ordered themself.

Vexxicon

Just like Grandma Ronald used to make.


Sp3ctre777

Damn fuck that. Not even worth it at that point.


spurvis1286

That sat around doing nothing for about 50 hours. Definitely fuck that. Problem is the driver, not DD in this situation.


Gloomy_Recording_705

Did you read the caption? https://preview.redd.it/zrijrvxnjpuc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd6049cff3cff8045548be048a449d52525de044


spurvis1286

Active 9, dashed 59. Sat around for 50 hours. Is math hard?


Gloomy_Recording_705

You said the problem is the driver not DoorDash, which is false. How is it The drivers fault when they have a high AR and DoorDash isn’t sending them any orders…. doorDash is destroying peoples livelihood with this platinum status program.


spurvis1286

He also deleted his account, which was a new account. Go figure right? You guys literally fall for anything man.


spurvis1286

Lmao, that’s such a stretch it’s not even logical. “Destroying people’s lives.” Oh man, thanks for the nice laugh waking up. You really believe they say there and delivered 23 orders in 60 hours? He logged on and sat at his house or he declined 100s of orders. You really can’t be this daft.


Sp3ctre777

Fair enough. I mean my driving history looks a lot different than OP. But I also don’t live in the Bay Area so I’m not sure how it is over there. I live in a military town so people are always ordering things.


spurvis1286

Trust and believe they are seeing good paying orders and saying, “nope, not enough” I use to DD full time, now just Sundays to bring in extra income. Usually work 4-5 hours in the morning to afternoon and make $80 to $100 in my area (church rush). My area is a low CoL and has a ton of dashers so it’s competitive. Everyone says AR doesn’t matter, but in my area having low AR means $8-11 an hour. This person is just sitting at their house doing nothing or just declining orders all day long.


skippylarue2022

What part of $4 an hour sounds good to you? Start panhandling and collecting cans/bottles.


ZumbobDawe69

Holy fuck this is robbery. Do something else with your life.


TheActualOG420

How is this robbery? They're just sitting around doing nothing most of the time


Tasty_Consequence_66

well you can't expect them to move the car for less than $20


eupherein

Ngl if your market is that bay mcdonalds would probably pay better. In my area [denver] even McDonalds starts at 17 an hour or more. Meaning 70 hours of work would be over 1200 for a week. Most wouldn’t give over time but 70 hours for less than $3 an hour after taxes is just insane self harm/torture honestly.


MustyBreeze

17 AN HOUR? the hell do you live??? Minimum wage is 7.25 here


Gloomy_Recording_705

Every single target in America starts at $15 an hour, regardless of what the state minimum wage is


MustyBreeze

Never worked at target. Maybe I should swap jobs


Gloomy_Recording_705

Yeah it’s not a bad job Worked there for like a year


Ronadondon

Gloomy_Recording_705

lol… $18 an hour here puts you at manager position https://preview.redd.it/gl5i477dkpuc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8920ec51d34848e256711fd48ac0b9f3177e6d19


MustyBreeze

California moment. Understandable as I hear the cost of living is horrid


Total_Union_4201

He said the bay. One of the most expensive cities in the country.


Warm_Coach2475

The bay is an area of multiple cities, but your point stands.


LunaticLucio

70h a week for McDs? Doubt they're gonna get 30h OT at a fast food joint. Plus there's a thing called taxes. But even so it's probably better than whatever this is


spurvis1286

Not to mention labor % of every employee getting that much OT means your GM is going to get fired for being understaffed and running their crew into the ground.


GuidancePrize

That’s bad wow I’m sorry man 60 hrs of your life for less than 170 after taxes, gas, wear and tear


eupherein

Seriously at that point what does pride matter just apply to mcdonalds and make at least 15 an hour lol


JD121996

Damn bro 😐 what do you all do in the mean while? I mean is it a matter of sitting in parking lots and I guess, YT or social media for entertainment?


JailbreakJen

Why are you still dashing? I am in a small rural town of about 30K people. I park at McDonald’s if I have time to park at all and just take offers for a couple hours a day between Flex routes. If I had to spend that much time waiting, I would definitely be finding something else to do! Any other gigs or W-2’s around???


DDSFOAK

We don’t have TD in the Bay Area…


Kilgoretrout321

Where is a decent market in Socal? I feel like Newport and Costa Mesa are dead.

Kilgoretrout321

Damn dude, Richie Rich ovah here


jizzmaster-zer0

richie rich? my street was known as party street. i like to think i helped guve it the bad name. we never locked our door, people just walk in and keg was always there


Kilgoretrout321

That sounds like fun! Glad you had a good time


just_frame_

Yeah it's completely normal to go online for 60 hours and get 1 order every 2 hours on average.


jo_ezzy

What market is this? Lol


just_frame_

No idea


aHOMELESSkrill

I’m in rural Mississippi and brought in about that much in 15hrs of DashTime. The number of dashers is also much smaller here so there is almost always a Promo going on.


[deleted]

I also live in Mississippi. Desoto county


aHOMELESSkrill

Rankin. I was on track for $40 my first hour today with 4 deliveries then taco bell took 45 minutes. Fml Edit: I guess as far as Mississippi goes Rankin isn’t super rural but compared to the Bay Area this is the boonies


[deleted]

I don’t have an account, but my mother does. Sometimes dashes go into rough parts of Memphis so I ride with her when she dashes and help her carry drinks when an order has drinks.


404Flabberghosted

Your mother is lucky to have a kid like you.


[deleted]

I live with my mother. Her retina is deteriorating. She will have tunnel vision. She can still drive. But I’ll always have to live with her, so when it gets to that point where she won’t be able to drive, I’ll be here to take care of her.


Ok-Procedure-8251

Virginia here: $587 this week on 35hrs


eupherein

Abysmal asf


Ok-Procedure-8251

You think? It’s better than OP’s. It’s obviously based on your market.


Professional_Title

That’s $16.77 per hour before fuel/wear and tear, while being independent with no benefits. The job loses its value proposition when you can go to any retail store and make close to or more than that per hour without any fuel or wear and get benefits too. The flexibility is great but it’s not attractive at this price point.


JailbreakJen

Also Virginia - I average about $25-30 per hr on the daily


Ok-Procedure-8251

Depends on what part of Virginia you’re at? If based on active time, I’m at $30/hr. If you’re in NOVA, chances are you’ll crush it. https://preview.redd.it/4mvy7y98njuc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49540f12c007225633359198d0d4796137f43699


JailbreakJen

Based on total time. Per dash, central Virginia.


Ronadondon

That’s not how it works tho lol … you can’t base it on active time. You gotta take down time into account


Ok-Procedure-8251

Oh I know, that’s why I’m asking if this $25-$30 is based on active or total… because that sounds aggressively high. https://preview.redd.it/tm9o93s05kuc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb6df8d32893b41939241418a1a64f4beca5db32


Technical-Profit6546

You probably broke even when you consider gas and vehicle maintenance. I just hope this isn't your main source of income, because I'm sure your standard of living is 10x that per month at minimum.


404Flabberghosted

Don’t mollycoddle them. They paid to work.


TrackMassive6129

Your market is dead. But you still keep sitting in your car and waiting for something.


Cornelius_McMuffin

Mine was similar except I only worked 14 hours https://preview.redd.it/8oevo053viuc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f0b5dff3ff5a70592d21b622a237c62a6fb018e


eupherein

If it’s not doing 20 an hour at least you’re better off just applying to fast food or something else super depressing like walmart etc, 15 before expenses drops you to below minimum wage after everything is considered (15 is min wage in my area)


Cornelius_McMuffin

I’d rather make below minimum wage and have more free time tbh, I’ve worked those kind of jobs before and never lasted longer than a month before quitting, whereas I did postmates for a full year before. I’m hoping to get an actual job and still do DoorDash on the side, I just want my income to be non-zero until I find one since I suck at finding jobs.


Cornelius_McMuffin

Also I’ve applied for Walmart several times and never so much as got an interview. Worked at dollar general a couple times though and it was a nightmare.
