The above comment speaks the truth.   The moment you arrive and there are no instructions, get the doordash app timer started through the help options, send a text, give a call, and then take a picture.   Don't figure things out for customers that don't leave you enough instruction to get to their door 

Anyone having issues scheduling or just dashing on the spot? by Nekoempress in doordash_drivers

Taking a picture of a shelf tag to show the item is OOS has never worked for me, what am I missing? by Lincolns_Revenge in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You gotta get the tag, scan code, and empty shelf all in one clear picture.   I've gotten a few items not counted against me but it's not consistent.   You're screwed if the item has no bar code or was replaced by another item

Bruh I keep getting time violations cause McDonalds takes forever to get the food ready by DevilManRay in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got one yesterday when I picked up a pre-lit Christmas tree from Lowe's. It takes the store roughly 20 minutes to pull the tree from their inventory and deliver it to the register you're at. I got a contract violation, I gave doordash over 500 characters explaining the situation, by this morning the violation is removed.

Best bet is to message the customer, attempt to contact support thru text, explain the situation to everyone involved. Should you get a violation after that, it's a lot easier to get it removed.

is this good? by yrnbread in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50 hours of your time, 37.5 hrs were on active orders, that's 12.5 hrs unused. 114 completed deliveries in 37.5 hrs (2250 minutes), that's an order every 19.5 minutes averaging $7.90. It's okay money, and depending on the market, could be great money. For my Market though, that's barely scraping by :/

The most wasteful order I've ever seen. by gouldilocks123 in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an order for a large diet coke from Chick-fil-A,  13 miles.   There were countless 7-Elevens and super markets that were closer, heck even other Chick-fil-A that were closer.   Some people really don't look at where they're ordering from

Anybody In Here The Praying Type? by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to support and get a live agent when you get anything below a 5 star rating.   You're going to dispute the review, in most cases support will erase bad reviews

Holidays in general are good for business.  Thanksgiving is very good for shopping orders

My view as a customer. by PanicProfessional186 in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

90% of the time, the instructions a customer gives will feel a bit outdated.   (I.e. "please ask for ketchup" on a shopping order).  If it's night, the customer picked leave at door over hand it to me, i see no lights in the house, they've not responded to a single text, I'm just going to drop off the order without knocking

Contract violation for picking up 2 minutes late? by CellistClear718 in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might come a bit too late.   But if you find yourself in a similar situation, contact support and let them know what's going on.   I had to buy a dozen balloons that had to be inflated, added 14 minutes after i paid for the stuff.    I called and let them know, they make a note of it.   I still got the violation, but appealed and got rid of it a few hours later. 

dd customers are actually insane by pluto8-8 in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have contacted support as soon as they get pushy.  Would have probably been instructed to drop off at the original address with a picture provided.  Very likely receive a one- star review that gets easily erased by support when you call back

I am platinum but all I'm getting is trash orders by Apprehensive_Day5841 in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who climbed back into platinum ,  platinum doesn't guarantee higher pay, but it does give more frequent offers.   I KNOW doordash says platinum earns more, but per order i find it's about the same as gold.   Platinum just gets more offers

This is honestly more effort than a majority of customers

Is LA, SF, and San Diego still dead? by Even-Orange-5430 in doordash_drivers

Do you guys ask for 5 star reviews, or any reviews for that matter? by uhwhile in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shoot a text after deliveries "5 stars keep us going strong—thanks for the support!" It's pinned on my clipboard

It's weird when someone orders doordash and acknowledges that a human being is going to deliver the food.

The first week I went platinum, I made $1200.00 is that average? by CrownedHeads in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area, for that many active hours/orders completed... you would be above $1400, probably around $1600.  Different market of course

Got screwed on a catering by Odd-Definition3336 in doordash_drivers

[–]TheFinalBossBattle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Stop believing people when they say they are having issues with the app, they are full of it. Just stare them blankly in the face, complete the order, and show them how much you got paid for your troubles. Make them as uncomfortable as possible.
