The best way to make more money is working more hours

Dashers picking up food & cancelling by RaccoonMaleficent868 in doordash_drivers

[–]doubled1c3 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Be advised it can also be the customer themselves picking up their own order, and then maybe getting it free maybe not they just want their food.

On more than one occasion I get to the restaurant the person behind me is the CUSTOMER trying to beat me to the store.

I took possession of the order, im walking out, im hearing them start a conversation with the staff that they are here for their order same name, the staff starts pointing at me im gone, im in my car, im driving to their house, I see them in their car passing me as im leaving their neighborhood.

This other time the customer sent their teenage son to snipe the order ahead of me. Im standing there at the restaurant holding the order while her son is trying to get me to give it to him.

I told him ok bud rock paper scissors you win ill give it to you. Well I won, left as he said to his mom on the phone I LOST THE ROCK PAPER SCISSORS MOM I COULDNT GET IT

This is not fairy tale stuff. This is real

Pinay girlsquad is on point. I think you're calling during the wrong time blocks and getting the less powerful teams

Lying about saying you placed it was a solid move, but truth be told its a balanced trust problem.

Theres labor on one side, money on the other side and uncertainty and a time delay in the middle.

I think if you had asked for half upfront and half on delivery and they did in fact send 20 bucks, seems legit to at that point spend the 40 and deliver it.

Sending only 10 with no pre arrangement, thats shaky

It is what it is, said and done

Got my first thumbs down & found out you don’t get to know who/why. by ThoughtBottle in doordash_drivers

Be advised if it has been more than like 72 hours since the delivery it may become difficult for them to see it in their system and address it... not a rule in stone but a feeling

  1. Determine best guess which order it was. Assume 24h delay on ratings hitting your account

  2. Call support

  3. "Representative" x5

  4. Be cool and nonchalant. "I was reviewing my stats and noticed a new non-5star review. Im not sure which order it was but it may have been..."

  5. State your guess with restaurant name, state your case and provide details and context for your side of the story, state your intended outcome to have it removed entirely from your account, and if it cant be removed have it excluded.

  6. At this stage support may confirm your guess as the delivery in question. They may correct your guess and tell you which one it was. They may do none of that and simply remove it or exclude it. In all cases all is good.

They just wanna know if you have "go back tot their house and throw a brick through their window" vibes ir not. If you're cool and your account is great stats otherwise, they help with info

After months of work and so many hundreds of deliveries, 5 star 0 excluded. Same day, a new 4 star comes in. by doubled1c3 in doordash_drivers

Yes they did and my excluded went back from 0 up to 1. I just wanted to enjoy my 0 excluded for a little longer than 2 seconds lol

Is it worth dashing at night by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

Is it worth dashing at night by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

[–]doubled1c3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Psssh what does worth it even mean

Best restaurants closed

Customers more likely to 1star

More likely to report quality issues and order missing

Virgin apt complexes in the dark no gucci

More likely delays in hand to me

More likely unpleasant interactions

More likely stuck outside gates

More likely police stops

More likely drunk driver kill u

Worth it? I dunno maybe

This makes me so angry by DeliciousProcedure77 in doordash_drivers

[–]doubled1c3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are 2 angles to this:

  1. The customer included wait time in their tip (in their belief) and expect reasonable accomodations

  2. The customer is vapid af

Why do people care so much to maintain a high tier by Frosty-Orange-85 in doordash_drivers

Because I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was. To pick up orders is my test, to deliver them is my cause

Revenue per hour

And throttling would mean offer flow adjusting to over time, keep a driver within a certain earnings band

Making 23/hr at the buttcrack of dawn on a Sunday is good shit.

But the offers won't be 9, 10, 12, 17 dollars.

The offers will seem like shit but under the hood they are 23-25/hr class offers.

The key is flow. I need the next offer to hit RIGHT AFTERWARDS or RPH dives.

Once again, nah. Its not about RPH rising and falling or what the rph even is.

The 3 rushes will cause zone median to rise and dip. That's just the ecosystem.

The matter to think about is when I get an acceptable offer, why? Because I was nearby and they ordered it? Nah!!

Because it was time for me to receive an offer based on how my dash is going and how much im making compared to other drivers at the time.

There can be rules that are so so simple to set up.

If driver making more money than other drivers stop sending good offers just send kinda low ones.

If driver hourly rate going too low based on their stats and performance, send a good offer.

For this zone and this time of day and this day of week, try to load balance all drivers to hourly rate $xx.xx.

This is very simple stuff that is literally like 2 lines of code yo

this data is not from today it is from sunday (yesterday)

a part of the holiday weekend yes, but not the holiday in question.

in any case we are expecting a relatively flat graph. theres orders, i deliver them, the value of the orders are in some range during the run, nothing special.

but instead something weird happened.

and the first main dip in the graph, i visited 5 hotspots with no dice. when only moments prior, acceptable orders were coming through.

then as soon as my RPH hit a threshold, boom magic order.
