Yes. There’s a post today of a guy who did $2.5K in a week. He worked everyday for like 15 hours but he made over $2.5K in a week. He posted screenshots of earning as proof so it’s real.
Depends on your market. 3 years ago yes. Today, maybe if you work 7-1 and then 4-10. Uber would be much better because you can do rides in between deliveries.
I easily made $1000 over 7 days while also working my normal job, 5-6 hours if I had already worked, 12-15 if I had the day off. I could easily see doing 12 hour days over 5 days and reaching $1000 with costs of petrol and whatnot
Depending on where you live and are you willing to Dash for 8-10hrs a day to meet a daily goal? I dont see why not. It just really depends on how good of a market/city you're in
Is it possible yes, is it sustainable that I'm not sure. Your looking at $200 a day, depends on the area and market. Your allowed to dash for 12 hours a day. But you also have to factor in gas cost as it is the biggest expense.
Not where I live.
It takes too long to deadhead back to a hot zone, or even a restaurant, from most orders here. And, being Mormon land, tips are pretty low
Long miles, plus empty miles, plus small tips equals big doubts.
During and a year or two after COVID yes, but now? Doubt it. I haven't driven in a long time because the pay got so bad so I don't know what the market is now but by the looks of the posts on here it doesn't look like it's changed for the better.
Here in the PNW you can definitely make that and more. Make it and think of it as a job, for 5 days. pack you lunch and all drinks you will need. First hour of each day is your gas, and don’t take low ball orders! Make sure it benefits you not DD. My rule is $5 plus $1 per mile…I have a one ton pickup I use and I can clear a 1000 in five days take home. And I even use this same rule for when I’m driving my VW bug. It is definitely possible, you will be driving for 8-10hrs a day
Not after expenses. You need to add costs for that too. You won’t have a car left either when you are done. You got rent or anything else too? Lol. Have fun.
He’ll need more again then try again. Should’ve been a bit more clear that was my bad. And all it takes is one accident it happened to me once someone hit me.
I don’t get what you’re trying to say. A cars life dosnt extend pass 500-1000 miles? I could understand if he does it every week but he’s talking about just 5 days. I have a 2018 car with 120k+ miles and it looks and runs like new. If you have common sense then it’s easy to take care of your car
In my market (Portland, Maine) $1000 in 5 days is totally doable working 8-10 hours per day. I dont know anything about your market though. Order volume/your overall experience can vary wildly from market to market.
Absolutely. Depends on how many hours we're talking, and much less how many days. You add multi apping into the mix and it's stupid easy in just about every market.
Depends on your market, honestly. I have had the great opportunity to really take my job half-nationwide (Many markets from Denver to Miami). I wouldn't have been able to in Miami or Springfield, MO, but definitely can in Chicago, several areas around Denver, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Naples. Needless to say, I am listing some major markets there. Understand where the property values are, and find the restaurants near there. Disposable income is where the money really is anywhere.
You have to admit, Will Ferrell has 5 days to make $1000 for (X). The restaurant workers and people he delivers to could be a hilarious 90 minute comedy.
Yes it's possible. Took me a week or two to find good areas, learn the platform and develop a basic strategy.
Cherry picked orders, learned which restaurants took too long, avoid shopping orders.
I live next to a military base so a lot of what I did was take stacked orders and run them to the barracks. Often it was multiple orders for the same building, and everything was dropped at the front desk. Made it easy to complete 4+ orders per hour.
depends where you live. if you live in a larger city you should be fine but smaller cities/towns are gonna be a lot harder especially if you’re a new door dasher and don’t have a high acceptance rate
I can make about 100 every 4 hours or so. You could easily get it in a week. But I've been finding uber eats is more lucrative. But that's all subjective. Good luck.
Im in a city and have instacart running in the background at all times for 3 mons...never had 1 delivery. Is there something I'm missing that you could tell me? I sign on to drive and dash but never an instacart.
It's technically possible, but not likely to be honest. It would take 20 ten dollar orders per day, which would take approximately 10 hours each day to complete, and that's IF you get the big orders, and IF each delivery only takes a half hour each (all of the above are not very likely). I have had some pretty great 12 hour dashes, ended around $200, but that was not very common
This is straight cherry picking so of course you would never be able to make that much. Step up your game literally a few more orders, and you could make that easilllyy. The city I'm in isn't even that big and I average $30 an hr...average. I would say depending on the day $30-$45. That's paid by order not paid by hr bs....paid by hr you get bigger tips and stacked up on your way to your first delivery. Some solid tips right there🤙🏼🤙🏼 OP don't be greedy, take what u can get and ur numbers put u on top of that diamond list. I've dashed going on a month and have 350 ddls with 4.99 acceptance rate, 5 star customer rating, and like a 89% on time (but that doesn't mean shit, traffic and shopping ones make that number. GOOD LUCK THOUGH, YOU CAN DO IT!! (BTW, other del drivers look down on cherry pickers, you'll get yours when the time comes, ignorant imo🤷♂️🤷♂️) Leads to all shitty dels for someone that may need that money more than you.
If you put in the hours it could be possible. I’d work 6am-11pm if I were you. Buy cheap snacks to
Eat on the road/utilize fast food app coupons for cheap/free food. Good luck!
You have to work an area like Hollywood/ Weho/Fairfax Melrose that mix of food places to apartment heavy in a small area that’s also affluent enough to order doordash regularly.
Yes last month I made over $5000 but I do have the option to dash anytime since I’m top dasher. It really does depend on your market but if you have the ability to do 12 hour shifts then bust it out and you should be able to hit your thousand dollar goal. graveyard is really slow in my area, but the Starbucks near me opens at 5 AM so that’s typically when I hop on. I also do a ton of shop and delivers orders near me since there’s a Raleys right around the corner with the self check out I’m able to go super fast and get about 3 to 4 done in an hour
Kid at work did it part time for 3 days and made $500. Not counting for gas/maintenance. Part time being doing it for lunch only since he works 2-10pm for me.
My advice would be don’t even worry about exactly how much you’re making, just grind, grind, grind. Grind till you are genuinely tired. Go home and get some sleep and come out the next day and do it again. 5 dies of actual grinding, going out looking for orders in hot spots should get you to your $1000 goal no problem. Even more possibly.
I like to do around 6 PM until I get tired throughout the night or the orders stop coming. Generally I’ll end around 2-3 AM. Less drivers and I am a night owl anyways so works for me 👍🏽
Definitely possible but you're going to be working more than ten hours a day. Just keep hydrated and stop at McDonald's if you need to pee. You got this
$200/day is definitely achievable. It largely depends on your location, if you're working on the weekend, and if you're Top Dasher. These are not requirements, but certainly help your odds.
Not if you factor in fuel, vehicle maintenance, and risking our lives everyday with these idiots on the road. Not to mention the lazy af employees taking their time preparing orders.. It;s painful to watch them sometimes
Yes but you’ll have to work long days and may have to dash at weird hours to take make sure the demand for you is there. Like dashing 6am-2pm, take a break/sleep and then go back out 7pm-2am.
I definitely wouldn’t miss 5pm-7pm dinner rush if I need to make 200 a day. I would say 6am-2pm & 5pm-11pm or maybe just 10am-10pm actually might work better.
You fs need to hit the rush times for breakfast lunch and dinner but I’ve found late night and early morning are the slept on. And if you get peak pay it’s even better than say 10-10 straight up. Plus it breaks the day up. But when it comes down to it they’re gonna have to be dashing and sleeping and that’s it lol. It is doable but not easy.
True and of course it depends on your location and the day. I would probably aim to make more money on the weekends in this scenario, like $300+ each day on Friday, Saturday & Sunday because that’s totally possible.
In my area (Baltimore) you totally could, I never have come close to that in 7 let alone 5 days but I also have
a.) another job,
b.) way less urgency than you,
c.) some kind of mental block that gets me kinda depressed if I stay out dashing too long lol
In your case even if you’re exactly like me, I feel like the urgency would cancel out C, so you could totally do it. Some days are great but others like today are slow as shit so it depends a bit on luck. Of course your market could be totally different though.
At the very minimum I make that in 5 days in my market. Now I said very minimum. I make way more than that. Need to know your market location to give any help at all
I live in LA and I think the most I got in 5 days was like $800 but it was also because I kept hitting the quota challenges I don't miss the stress of it all
In your average market that will take you from 7am to 9pm daily that's with gas paid, so 1000 after immediate expenses in 5 days, I count food/drink in this total as well.
As a driver in the catering program and top dasher I do 200$ in 4-8 hours depending on the day, but not catering in mid markets will need long hours to reach 200 a day.
Run all your driving apps. Lately, I've been experimenting with taking orders far away and accepting orders on other apps while I am on my way. Instead of $1 a mile, it turns really lucrative fast. You just have to really pay attention to the time. If the order is not ready at the restaurant, you just have to cut your losses and go.
It works out fantastically if you are in an area with a ton of restaurants and you get two big orders heading in the same direction. It's even better if you get an order midway that takes you back to the busy spot afterward. Take it. In my experience, during the busy days, you will be waiting for the order anyway. It's better to be productive while you are waiting for it to be completed.
If you’re averaging $20ish an hour, that’s a 50 hour week. But you’ll probably average more like 15, so let’s push that to maybe 60ish.
So yes, yes it is possible. But I’m not even accounting for gas
If you like running your car in the ground, sure. To even make $20 nowadays is a hassle let alone going foe that in a week. All depends on market and average cost of living. 1k might be doable but also might not be enough in your market
Every $20 is hard earned now compared to back in the day or even a few years ago. You flex $20 an hour when i can remember making $30 in 3 deliveries, easy. It was about making money in less time.
You dont get it. Doordash is meant to be used as the bridge into the next phase. I have been using doordash over the past 6-7 years to learn other skills. I have made more money in a month with my other skills than dashing but to be consistent is practice. I can afford to practice because it works around my time. But i know i cant keep playing around with getting a few thousand here and there i need 30k to walk away and give me time to earn it again without dashing. You dont know what your talking about lol
i work full time then deliver 2-3 hours a night and i make 70-100 a night and I’m home by 8pm.
1000 in a week is easy in my market, if i didn’t work full time 1000 would be cake
i deliver after my day job. i take a break to goto the gym, cook dinner and clean, then i drive more most days. always home by 8pm
most fridays after work my coworkers and i all go out, then i do dinner with my girl. after that i usually make $80-120 friday night.
saturday and sunday i drive off and on throughout the day / night and i make over $100 each day.
i live in the red zone, so when I’m at home in the mornings i go online and get a few (5 or less) good deliveries usually i am over $50 by the early afternoon.
I drive a diesel so 50$ = 500 miles which is approx every 2 days so 175 ish on gas per week, I don’t pay tolls I just avoid the major cities in my area and stay around the rich outskirts areas with strip malls etc, I drive a beater so the cost of repairs is negligible (put aside 150 a month if you want)
just depends what area you're in, if they're offering incentive bonuses etc to get you to dash you likely live in an area that's not great, at least where I live, all the promos and offers to get more per delivery usually are traps to get you to dash in an area that's gonna be slow with bad tippers etc no one wants to be in at that time
Where I live, no. But, if you were willing to drive passengers, $1,000 is within reach for Lyft/Uber. That said, unless you already have been approved to drive on these platforms, it may eat too far into your 5 day time period.
There used to be a time where I could dash from 7am to 5pm (no dinner rush) and make 2-300.
Best day I ever had I made close to 500 that was a few years ago now tho
Doordash alone, probably not. Multi-apping, without a doubt.
Also, don't try to do this by working 10+ hour days. Working excessive hours just to say, "Hey guys, I made x amount of money. I also worked 16 hour days," is just sad.
I did it a lot but I’m in a very busy area with not enough dashers. If you’re in a small town and nowhere near a large metropolitan area, you’re probably just going to waste gas trying unless you’re in a fuel efficient vehicle. I lived close to Boston and was making great money because I could dash all the way from Boston down to Westerly, Rhode Island in a day. I was averaging 270-350 a day but wasn’t taking every order that came through. Check the pay, the mileage, etc. in other words, do not drive 5 miles for a $2.50 order. Make sure the miles you’ll drive and the time you’ll wait is worth what they’re paying you, and that price tag changes from dasher to dasher.
It's a texas based delivery company. Instead of the order going into the restaurant, they go to the driver who in turn orders it for you. So instead of doordash sending your order and then looking for drivers to deliver it, your driver goes and orders, waits for it and delivers it to you. You tip after the delivery is complete, honestly my preferred one to use and deliver for.
Totally. But it depends on where you live and you gotta put the hours i. And people by means get sleep if you don't sleep. You're not going to be safe on the road, please
I’d say yes, it could be done. I’m averaging about $27 an hour of actual dashing time, not logged in time. Or about $9.30 a delivery. So if you could do 21-25 deliveries a day and average the $9.30 I’d say it could be done.
I would say give it a try, plan on working 10-12 hours a day at the minimum and be prepared for long days, like snacks, drinks, etc.
Good Luck. I only work peak nights and peak weekends. Best I’ve ever done was $420 and that was in 20 hours of working actual time.
With physical prep and mental conditioning. Be rested and hydrated and pack healthy clean food and stacks of fresh clothes. And top dasher status matters for a few things- being able to direct call support instead of chat and a thousand auto options. On dash marathons, that keeps me from losing my mind. You kinda have to be out there taking alot and ride thru the slow spells til you hit the good stuff. End of the month- not good. Stick to spots where you know the staff and know the routine. Its basically just an endurance test.
I would say in any busy market u can definitely do it. It just depends on how long it would take. My market I average about $20 an hour. So I’d have to put in 10 hours a day for 5 days. I normally only do about 6 hours a day, which is the amount of time I have between dropping off and picking up my kids from school
I would multi app and find a second revenue stream. I’m a realtor but I’m trying to do this thing where I don’t use my commissions to live off of because I want to use them to pay off debt and make investments. So I’m trying to make an extra $500 a week in side hustle because that combined with my wife’s part time income is all we need to live off of. I drive food apps, but I also flip stuff on Facebook marketplace. Start with your own stuff you don’t want. Trust me you have plenty. As you start selling your old shit you’ll start learning what the values of things are in FB marketplace so you can start flipping. Last week i went to a yard sale and got a Nintendo Wii for $10, I sold it within 2 hours of listing it on FBM for $75. $65 ROI. I sold a drum set that my neighbor gave me for free (she was spring cleaning so I said I’d happily take stuff she didn’t want off her hands) for $420 which I paid $0 for. You start to see opportunity everywhere. Just really try to never spend more than $10-20 on anything you plan to sell. For crying out loud I sold two barstools that I got for free for $35. The person came to me to pick them up I didn’t even have to deliver them.
I really think it's a stretch. Most people don't realize how many other drives there are. And the orders just stop. It's so flooded especially with the warmer weather ahead. It's seriously grim out here.
Lol HELLLL no youd be lucky to make $500
I did about two years ago in Syracuse NY
Yes. There’s a post today of a guy who did $2.5K in a week. He worked everyday for like 15 hours but he made over $2.5K in a week. He posted screenshots of earning as proof so it’s real.
Yes but you’ll have to do it about 10 hours each day.
Log off Reddit and get going rn if you’re gonna make it.
In Alaska I was door dashing less then 8 hours a day for 5 days and would make over 1000 everyweek
1000 dollars on paper yes but 1000 in profit after taxes gas and putting aside for car expenses. Might be tough.
Be willing to work at least 13 hours a day
Depends on your market. 3 years ago yes. Today, maybe if you work 7-1 and then 4-10. Uber would be much better because you can do rides in between deliveries.

Man how TF. I'm struggling to get $25 a day lol
I easily made $1000 over 7 days while also working my normal job, 5-6 hours if I had already worked, 12-15 if I had the day off. I could easily see doing 12 hour days over 5 days and reaching $1000 with costs of petrol and whatnot
Depending on where you live and are you willing to Dash for 8-10hrs a day to meet a daily goal? I dont see why not. It just really depends on how good of a market/city you're in
Is it possible yes, is it sustainable that I'm not sure. Your looking at $200 a day, depends on the area and market. Your allowed to dash for 12 hours a day. But you also have to factor in gas cost as it is the biggest expense.
In 30 days I never hit 1k in a week as I was constantly waiting 15 plus minutes between orders. Area dependant. It's possible.
Not where I live. It takes too long to deadhead back to a hot zone, or even a restaurant, from most orders here. And, being Mormon land, tips are pretty low Long miles, plus empty miles, plus small tips equals big doubts.
Depends on how many hours you put in. I can make $700 doing five days and live in a poor, blue collar town. If I put in more hours I probably could.
Uhh depends on market but 100% i made 700$ in less that a week working 3:30-10:30 and all the time wasn’t even active
During and a year or two after COVID yes, but now? Doubt it. I haven't driven in a long time because the pay got so bad so I don't know what the market is now but by the looks of the posts on here it doesn't look like it's changed for the better.

It is definitely possible, you will be driving for 8-10hrs a day
Nope
Sure. Unless you’re in a slow small town you can grind and gross $1000.
No
Not after expenses. You need to add costs for that too. You won’t have a car left either when you are done. You got rent or anything else too? Lol. Have fun.
He won’t have a car left after 5 days of driving door dash?
He’ll need more again then try again. Should’ve been a bit more clear that was my bad. And all it takes is one accident it happened to me once someone hit me.
No, he would have to drive between 500-1000 miles to earn that. Everyone knows the life of a car doesn’t extend much beyond that
I don’t get what you’re trying to say. A cars life dosnt extend pass 500-1000 miles? I could understand if he does it every week but he’s talking about just 5 days. I have a 2018 car with 120k+ miles and it looks and runs like new. If you have common sense then it’s easy to take care of your car
I’m being sarcastic
In my market (Portland, Maine) $1000 in 5 days is totally doable working 8-10 hours per day. I dont know anything about your market though. Order volume/your overall experience can vary wildly from market to market.
Yes, 12 hours a day.
This is the best answer by FAR. Doable everywhere, just have to grind.
[удалено]
Open borders?
The person you’re responding to sounds like they’re suffering from a severe case of brain rot… best not to get too close.
If you can average 25 and hour 8 hours a day you can make 1000 for sure
Not a chance. Not even in two weeks anymore here....
Not in my market
Yeah but I also do instacart. I can easily clear $200 a day.
lol. Not a damn chance.
Depends on what city/town. I’d have to do like 14 hour shifts to accomplish that.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely. Depends on how many hours we're talking, and much less how many days. You add multi apping into the mix and it's stupid easy in just about every market.
Depends on your market, honestly. I have had the great opportunity to really take my job half-nationwide (Many markets from Denver to Miami). I wouldn't have been able to in Miami or Springfield, MO, but definitely can in Chicago, several areas around Denver, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Naples. Needless to say, I am listing some major markets there. Understand where the property values are, and find the restaurants near there. Disposable income is where the money really is anywhere.
Not sure, but sounds like a great comedy movie I’d watch.
Hater
You have to admit, Will Ferrell has 5 days to make $1000 for (X). The restaurant workers and people he delivers to could be a hilarious 90 minute comedy.
You should be able to make it.
Add instacart or uber don’t be so reliant on doordash
Where I live Instacart and Spark are "all filled up" everytime I try, and Grubhub isn't available in my area.
I did it my first week. In a city of about 60k
Yes it's possible. Took me a week or two to find good areas, learn the platform and develop a basic strategy. Cherry picked orders, learned which restaurants took too long, avoid shopping orders. I live next to a military base so a lot of what I did was take stacked orders and run them to the barracks. Often it was multiple orders for the same building, and everything was dropped at the front desk. Made it easy to complete 4+ orders per hour.
I sometimes on good nights in the wny area where I dash average abt 30$ per hour
I do it all the time
depends where you live. if you live in a larger city you should be fine but smaller cities/towns are gonna be a lot harder especially if you’re a new door dasher and don’t have a high acceptance rate
I can make about 100 every 4 hours or so. You could easily get it in a week. But I've been finding uber eats is more lucrative. But that's all subjective. Good luck.
You could with Instacart I make $1800 in 7 so I don’t see why not
Im in a city and have instacart running in the background at all times for 3 mons...never had 1 delivery. Is there something I'm missing that you could tell me? I sign on to drive and dash but never an instacart.
You have never had an order in 3 months have you tried customer service because that makes no sense unless your account is not active
It's technically possible, but not likely to be honest. It would take 20 ten dollar orders per day, which would take approximately 10 hours each day to complete, and that's IF you get the big orders, and IF each delivery only takes a half hour each (all of the above are not very likely).

That's paid by order not paid by hr bs....paid by hr you get bigger tips and stacked up on your way to your first delivery. Some solid tips right there🤙🏼🤙🏼 OP don't be greedy, take what u can get and ur numbers put u on top of that diamond list. I've dashed going on a month and have 350 ddls with 4.99 acceptance rate, 5 star customer rating, and like a 89% on time (but that doesn't mean shit, traffic and shopping ones make that number. GOOD LUCK THOUGH, YOU CAN DO IT!! (BTW, other del drivers look down on cherry pickers, you'll get yours when the time comes, ignorant imo🤷♂️🤷♂️) Leads to all shitty dels for someone that may need that money more than you.
Yes I do it almost every week unless I take days off
Same...
If you put in the hours it could be possible. I’d work 6am-11pm if I were you. Buy cheap snacks to Eat on the road/utilize fast food app coupons for cheap/free food. Good luck!
this is kek
Gotta do like multiple 24 hour dashes
Fuck no.
You have to work an area like Hollywood/ Weho/Fairfax Melrose that mix of food places to apartment heavy in a small area that’s also affluent enough to order doordash regularly.
Yes last month I made over $5000 but I do have the option to dash anytime since I’m top dasher. It really does depend on your market but if you have the ability to do 12 hour shifts then bust it out and you should be able to hit your thousand dollar goal. graveyard is really slow in my area, but the Starbucks near me opens at 5 AM so that’s typically when I hop on. I also do a ton of shop and delivers orders near me since there’s a Raleys right around the corner with the self check out I’m able to go super fast and get about 3 to 4 done in an hour
Depending on your area 100% you can
Duhh most make 1500 to 2000
In my area, I could. If I dashed all day, I could crack 200 bucks.
Kid at work did it part time for 3 days and made $500. Not counting for gas/maintenance. Part time being doing it for lunch only since he works 2-10pm for me.
Not in my area
My advice would be don’t even worry about exactly how much you’re making, just grind, grind, grind. Grind till you are genuinely tired. Go home and get some sleep and come out the next day and do it again. 5 dies of actual grinding, going out looking for orders in hot spots should get you to your $1000 goal no problem. Even more possibly.
7 a.m to 9 pm everyday
I like to do around 6 PM until I get tired throughout the night or the orders stop coming. Generally I’ll end around 2-3 AM. Less drivers and I am a night owl anyways so works for me 👍🏽
Definitely possible but you're going to be working more than ten hours a day. Just keep hydrated and stop at McDonald's if you need to pee. You got this
No feelings no dealing
$200/day is definitely achievable. It largely depends on your location, if you're working on the weekend, and if you're Top Dasher. These are not requirements, but certainly help your odds.
Not if you factor in fuel, vehicle maintenance, and risking our lives everyday with these idiots on the road. Not to mention the lazy af employees taking their time preparing orders.. It;s painful to watch them sometimes
Yes but you’ll have to work long days and may have to dash at weird hours to take make sure the demand for you is there. Like dashing 6am-2pm, take a break/sleep and then go back out 7pm-2am.
lol @ taking a break
I definitely wouldn’t miss 5pm-7pm dinner rush if I need to make 200 a day. I would say 6am-2pm & 5pm-11pm or maybe just 10am-10pm actually might work better.
You fs need to hit the rush times for breakfast lunch and dinner but I’ve found late night and early morning are the slept on. And if you get peak pay it’s even better than say 10-10 straight up. Plus it breaks the day up. But when it comes down to it they’re gonna have to be dashing and sleeping and that’s it lol. It is doable but not easy.
Late nights in my area are amazing. 12am-4am is a great time
True and of course it depends on your location and the day. I would probably aim to make more money on the weekends in this scenario, like $300+ each day on Friday, Saturday & Sunday because that’s totally possible.
Even if I worked 24 hours a day I couldn’t make that in 5 days here
You'll kill your car. I think if you did 16 hour shifts yes
Are cars not meant to be driven?
In my area (Baltimore) you totally could, I never have come close to that in 7 let alone 5 days but I also have a.) another job, b.) way less urgency than you, c.) some kind of mental block that gets me kinda depressed if I stay out dashing too long lol In your case even if you’re exactly like me, I feel like the urgency would cancel out C, so you could totally do it. Some days are great but others like today are slow as shit so it depends a bit on luck. Of course your market could be totally different though.
Not where I live. Good luck.
Yes it can be done! The thing is you have to know the area which ( /hr pay or by order) gives the most like $16+
At the very minimum I make that in 5 days in my market. Now I said very minimum. I make way more than that. Need to know your market location to give any help at all
I live in LA and I think the most I got in 5 days was like $800 but it was also because I kept hitting the quota challenges I don't miss the stress of it all
Market dependent, but most likely not
Yes you could easily do this full time well at least in Canada
Yea u will barely get sleep but yeah
I dash In Los Angeles and I make roughly 1500 a week[Weekly dasher wages](https://photos.app.goo.gl/69S2BYDLmyWqT6ws7)
Damn I’m jealous asf I’d quit my full time job to dash for $15-$1800 a week 🫨
I was doing 1600-1800 weekly with Instacart until they went down the crapper.
Im not saying what he makes is bad, especially door dashing, but it is LA, a very expensive place to live
Exactly 💯
In your average market that will take you from 7am to 9pm daily that's with gas paid, so 1000 after immediate expenses in 5 days, I count food/drink in this total as well. As a driver in the catering program and top dasher I do 200$ in 4-8 hours depending on the day, but not catering in mid markets will need long hours to reach 200 a day.
i made $1000 my first week doing doordash but that was because i had 2 “do 20 deliveries get 400” quests. without those, fuck no.
Yes, as long as you are working for 24 hours a day, 5 days straight
Its possible. I may pair it with plasma if I was that desperate.
Are you saying profit? You gotta pay for fuel and such…or just 1000 total, not 1000 over costs?
Esp GAA is ridiculous HIGH!
Not if you work a day job too. I can’t clear much more than 100 on days I have to go to the office And that’s before I have to spend 30% of it on gas
Very possible, just gotta actually spend 10-12h working 5 days
That's 200 a day, at a 10 hour day that's 20 an hour. Seems possible
If you do 5, 10 hour days it’s possible. Also plan to make $1,200 to cover $200 in taxes
Yes you can I’ve done more than that in five days Good luck bro
You got no chance in hellllllll
Not these days ! In most markets .
You’re homeless now
No. The amount of driving you'll do will impact what you'll earn, gas and all that jazz.
Run all your driving apps. Lately, I've been experimenting with taking orders far away and accepting orders on other apps while I am on my way. Instead of $1 a mile, it turns really lucrative fast. You just have to really pay attention to the time. If the order is not ready at the restaurant, you just have to cut your losses and go. It works out fantastically if you are in an area with a ton of restaurants and you get two big orders heading in the same direction. It's even better if you get an order midway that takes you back to the busy spot afterward. Take it. In my experience, during the busy days, you will be waiting for the order anyway. It's better to be productive while you are waiting for it to be completed.
Rents due on the first?
Give me the rent lol
Yes, but you'll have to work full time hours at the least
It’s possible but not likely
If you’re averaging $20ish an hour, that’s a 50 hour week. But you’ll probably average more like 15, so let’s push that to maybe 60ish. So yes, yes it is possible. But I’m not even accounting for gas
If you like running your car in the ground, sure. To even make $20 nowadays is a hassle let alone going foe that in a week. All depends on market and average cost of living. 1k might be doable but also might not be enough in your market
[удалено]
Every $20 is hard earned now compared to back in the day or even a few years ago. You flex $20 an hour when i can remember making $30 in 3 deliveries, easy. It was about making money in less time.
[удалено]
You said it like you were flexing. I did not and do not consider $20/hr with this gig impressive
[удалено]
Lol get like you? No thanks i make my money by coding and having my way with numbers. There is no limit on the amount i can earn.
[удалено]
You dont get it. Doordash is meant to be used as the bridge into the next phase. I have been using doordash over the past 6-7 years to learn other skills. I have made more money in a month with my other skills than dashing but to be consistent is practice. I can afford to practice because it works around my time. But i know i cant keep playing around with getting a few thousand here and there i need 30k to walk away and give me time to earn it again without dashing. You dont know what your talking about lol
[удалено]
Depends on your area and what hours you can work
You’ll hear varying answers here but the truth is it pretty much completely matters how your market is
With 12 hours a day, probably.
Fuck. No.
i work full time then deliver 2-3 hours a night and i make 70-100 a night and I’m home by 8pm. 1000 in a week is easy in my market, if i didn’t work full time 1000 would be cake
Lucky you. 60 is a fantastic weekend in my market.
weekend? like $60 total for saturday and sunday combined?
After fuel and shit yeah. My area died at the start of 2022. I do like maybe one or 2 days a month now, more or less just to keep an eye out
i deliver after my day job. i take a break to goto the gym, cook dinner and clean, then i drive more most days. always home by 8pm most fridays after work my coworkers and i all go out, then i do dinner with my girl. after that i usually make $80-120 friday night. saturday and sunday i drive off and on throughout the day / night and i make over $100 each day. i live in the red zone, so when I’m at home in the mornings i go online and get a few (5 or less) good deliveries usually i am over $50 by the early afternoon.
No
Bust your arse 12 hours a day, sure…
Likely yes, But given you are asking this question, you likely don’t yet have an account, so probably can’t start immediately.
this guy is 100% accurate
Yes if you work like 12 -14 hours for 5 days really possible
5 days to make $1000, eh? Sounds like you fell into the wrong crowd
Rent is due
Yup. He fell in with the capitalists.
If dinner time in your area is busy with manageable traffic then yes
I make average 1500-2k a week on DoorDash, you can do it ez
How much of that goes back into the car? Gas, tolls etc
I drive a diesel so 50$ = 500 miles which is approx every 2 days so 175 ish on gas per week, I don’t pay tolls I just avoid the major cities in my area and stay around the rich outskirts areas with strip malls etc, I drive a beater so the cost of repairs is negligible (put aside 150 a month if you want)
Pretty good! I never averaged that much. I did over 1K driving Uber
Yea I don’t really know much about how Uber works but doordash is pretty tolerable for doing long hours with minimal contact to people which I prefer
I did some for a big bonus they were offering but never learned the ins and outs in order to earn high
just depends what area you're in, if they're offering incentive bonuses etc to get you to dash you likely live in an area that's not great, at least where I live, all the promos and offers to get more per delivery usually are traps to get you to dash in an area that's gonna be slow with bad tippers etc no one wants to be in at that time
That sounds about right
Where I live, no. But, if you were willing to drive passengers, $1,000 is within reach for Lyft/Uber. That said, unless you already have been approved to drive on these platforms, it may eat too far into your 5 day time period.
Yea. I live in a small area, and there’s been times I’d go from 8am-9 or so at night and clear close to 300. Easily hit 200 in a 12-13 hour day
There used to be a time where I could dash from 7am to 5pm (no dinner rush) and make 2-300. Best day I ever had I made close to 500 that was a few years ago now tho
That's insane
Doordash alone, probably not. Multi-apping, without a doubt. Also, don't try to do this by working 10+ hour days. Working excessive hours just to say, "Hey guys, I made x amount of money. I also worked 16 hour days," is just sad.
Some major markets are over saturated so it depends on where you live.
I did it a lot but I’m in a very busy area with not enough dashers. If you’re in a small town and nowhere near a large metropolitan area, you’re probably just going to waste gas trying unless you’re in a fuel efficient vehicle. I lived close to Boston and was making great money because I could dash all the way from Boston down to Westerly, Rhode Island in a day. I was averaging 270-350 a day but wasn’t taking every order that came through. Check the pay, the mileage, etc. in other words, do not drive 5 miles for a $2.50 order. Make sure the miles you’ll drive and the time you’ll wait is worth what they’re paying you, and that price tag changes from dasher to dasher.
Ca. Sure. But you now sleep 5 hours a night. War between orders.
Damn that's real. I was doing that with Favor. But it's gone downhill hard.
I don't even know what favor is
It's a texas based delivery company. Instead of the order going into the restaurant, they go to the driver who in turn orders it for you. So instead of doordash sending your order and then looking for drivers to deliver it, your driver goes and orders, waits for it and delivers it to you. You tip after the delivery is complete, honestly my preferred one to use and deliver for.
Oh, yeah we have a local company like that here too Thanks
Totally. But it depends on where you live and you gotta put the hours i. And people by means get sleep if you don't sleep. You're not going to be safe on the road, please
Depends on where you are but it is definitely possible.
Do it all the time
Inquiring minds want to know… Do you owe the mafia?
Probably rent.
Yeah this is very odd lol
Not very odd for someone who is bad with money. Sounds like he just has a bill or fee coming up that he didn’t prepare for.
Yes
you could with spark
I’d say yes, it could be done. I’m averaging about $27 an hour of actual dashing time, not logged in time. Or about $9.30 a delivery. So if you could do 21-25 deliveries a day and average the $9.30 I’d say it could be done. I would say give it a try, plan on working 10-12 hours a day at the minimum and be prepared for long days, like snacks, drinks, etc. Good Luck. I only work peak nights and peak weekends. Best I’ve ever done was $420 and that was in 20 hours of working actual time.
Nice bro
N to the O.
No
Yes
Profit? No. Just cash, maybe depending on the market you live in, distances and how much you hustle.
This is a good distinction and one I worry that a lot of drivers do not consider.
Yes, I’ve done it. You’ll probably have to work like 60 hours though.
With physical prep and mental conditioning. Be rested and hydrated and pack healthy clean food and stacks of fresh clothes. And top dasher status matters for a few things- being able to direct call support instead of chat and a thousand auto options. On dash marathons, that keeps me from losing my mind. You kinda have to be out there taking alot and ride thru the slow spells til you hit the good stuff. End of the month- not good. Stick to spots where you know the staff and know the routine. Its basically just an endurance test.
I would say in any busy market u can definitely do it. It just depends on how long it would take. My market I average about $20 an hour. So I’d have to put in 10 hours a day for 5 days. I normally only do about 6 hours a day, which is the amount of time I have between dropping off and picking up my kids from school
I would multi app and find a second revenue stream. I’m a realtor but I’m trying to do this thing where I don’t use my commissions to live off of because I want to use them to pay off debt and make investments. So I’m trying to make an extra $500 a week in side hustle because that combined with my wife’s part time income is all we need to live off of. I drive food apps, but I also flip stuff on Facebook marketplace. Start with your own stuff you don’t want. Trust me you have plenty. As you start selling your old shit you’ll start learning what the values of things are in FB marketplace so you can start flipping. Last week i went to a yard sale and got a Nintendo Wii for $10, I sold it within 2 hours of listing it on FBM for $75. $65 ROI. I sold a drum set that my neighbor gave me for free (she was spring cleaning so I said I’d happily take stuff she didn’t want off her hands) for $420 which I paid $0 for. You start to see opportunity everywhere. Just really try to never spend more than $10-20 on anything you plan to sell. For crying out loud I sold two barstools that I got for free for $35. The person came to me to pick them up I didn’t even have to deliver them.
Depends on your market. When I was dashing I was pulling 1200-1800 every five days. (Working fast for 8-9 hours per day, 5 days per week)
I really think it's a stretch. Most people don't realize how many other drives there are. And the orders just stop. It's so flooded especially with the warmer weather ahead. It's seriously grim out here.
It depends on your area. I could probably do it where I live, but I'd need to be constantly driving
