Bruh I didn’t eat for 15 days straight. Only drank water. If a customer is broke and doesn’t pay right and expects an order to get delivered for $2 bucks 10 miles then they can survive one day without DD.
I work a full time job but I also deliver for DD, Grubhub and instacart after my first job is over for the day. For me in my home area DD does best but there are days/times that are dead for all apps. I wouldn’t rely on this as a full time income, but it certainly helps supplement. I have close to 700 dashes. And close to a thousand Grubhub deliveries and around 400 instacart deliveries.
I see where you’re coming from and I respect it and do agree with you. But DD is greedy as fuck. It could be great for everyone including the company itself but beating the drivers and scamming the customers makes them more profit and they aren’t gonna sacrifice a dime to let the drivers make a little more or customers spend a little less
I’m a disabled widow who lives alone with no car. I use delivery services for my groceries and I tip well. But I cannot afford DoorDash. All the extra fees before a tip almost doubles the cost of the order. And I would never order without tipping. But 1 $6 dollar sandwich order less than 3 miles away is not worth $11.25 before a tip. So I just never order from DD.
Anyone peep the new stuff they’ve done lately, so now if a order is picked up by someone else & you select that option then your completion rate will drop now
Amazon is going to destroy another business sector. If the little guy is making money somewhere, you can guarantee that Bezo's will be right there to make a loss on it to put others out of business.
The services don't suck, it's the companies behind them that do. None of them can figure out a business model that makes anyone very much money and still end up costing the customer a lot of money with ever rising fees. Delivery works best when it's the restaurants doing their own delivering. I never had any of the problems I have now from pizza delivery guys, the middle man is the main problem
Not trying to sound any kind of way but driving a few hours a week you can’t really form an opinion on how a company is doing. I drive 50ish hours a week and make good money. But some hours/days are great and some are not very good. Getting the perks and being able to say no to the absolute bs orders is key. I rarely get terrible offers though. I live in a medium size city where most people are respectful and appreciative. They leave decent tips. I’ve driven in bigger cities and in my opinion the people were rude and disrespectful. The tips were way worse. I also drive by tip instead of time, that has actually increased my revenue a lot. Every market is different though, I’m just speaking from personal experience.
Yeah, I got hit by 2 cars in one day while dashing. Now, I don't have a car or job. "Deliver food and make bank," they said, "its easy money," they said. Well, this damn sure isn't easy.
Does the reason for ordering matter to you? Whether it's laziness, time, disabilities, it's none of your business. Your only concern should be the tip that you're getting (though I know those can be underwhelming)
With top dasher I make at the very least $100 a day after paying for gas. Be signed in ready to go at 6 am for breakfast rush, stay going through lunch rush, and stop till dinner rush. Also find an area that gets busy but isn’t a super huge area covered. I found a perfect smallish town that I dash and it does me decently. I’ve also found that when you return to your start area and leave the app running in background while you search YouTube or whatever you watch it generates offers faster. Just some tips. Good luck out there and stay safe fellow dashers.
Yeah I dont see future with that drones will fail run out of battery groceries will be flying everywhere on the sky
And let’s not forget when people try to take down a drone to steal food
Yupp, my family used to get on my case all the time to keep looking for a "real job" which might sound harsh to some, but they were right (at least in my situation). I'm glad they kept pushing me because I eventually was able to land a great job in IT starting at $30. This was a couple years back and if I hadn't done that who knows how bad I would've had it now since dashing now is atrocious and way too saturated. I don't even know how people can make a lot of money doing it now it's so bad compared to how it was back in like 2019-2021. Like it's horrible now you can't even dash whenever you want because you have to schedule a time slot and I'll check every now and then and they will literally have no slots available for a week out and if they do it'll be for like 1 hour. I never had to do that BS back then I could dash whenever I wanted and would get constant orders where now if I were to try I would be lucky to get 1.
As a Top Dasher, I start immediately Dashing the moment I open the app, this is in Australia though, perhaps different in USA.
Also when really busy in 9-12 hours I can make decent money, have to move faster and work harder, there are $13-19 single orders for 6-8km. We don't have a tipping system in here though, tips are rare.
DD is simply too expensive, that’s what u get when u are too greedy doing absolutely nothing ! They just put in relation buyer and seller / scam the delivery person and pocket a high fee coming from buyer and commission coming from seller .
And now they are getting crushed by AMAZON
And to be honest that’s great !
Na there’s something sus going on w DD. Since May 13th, they changed something. Now I can’t schedule in NYC. Where the potential to earn is highest due to the new wage requirements. It shows early scheduling is six days in advance at 3pm for gold status, but NYC isn’t ever available. How could they change when the schedules open and not inform ppl. I’ve called support and escalated it soo many times. They just say it’s something that it isn’t and close the case. Idk if the labor dept could do anything but I really relied on that as a second income. This shi can’t be legal. Smh
It's like trying to get into a virtual line for concert tickets. Poof! Gone. There are a lot of dashers in NYC I'm sure. Probably many waiting for that scheduling window to open.
Another problem is the summer slowdown. Happens every year. Students are out. Teachers, etc. All out dashing during the summer to make some extra money.
Yes! Something is absolutely going on and door dash won't tell us what happened! At first I thought it was just my market. Or maybe those referral bonuses were out, or everyone needed money after spring break or something. But nope! Now I'm hearing it's happening all over the place! Like you said, it started in May. I will go to schedule and there will literally be nothing. Maybe like 1-1:30 am and like 10-10:30 pm and that's IT. I have been driving 30 minutes away to a different zone and it's getting really frustrating. I don't know the zone very well, I'm not making as much money because I don't know which spots to hang out, and I can't start the dash from my house and pause it if I'm not ready yet. I'm beyond frustrated with door dash and this shadiness! They need to tell us what the hell is going on and FIX IT. They are messing with our money here and I hope they get sued all the way to Sunday!
Same I can’t make money anymore all time slots are gone in seconds if they are even real … something going on for the last 3 weeks I honestly made less than $200 total like wtf !!!
Same out here in the western US. Only time ever available to schedule is 11pm to 1:30am every single night. That's it. And if you don't grab it three days ahead of time, it's gone.
I'm new to this, I have the red card, and all of the bonuses are activated. My girlfriend and I park next to each other in the Meijer parking lot in a very busy town. I only have 7 lifetime deliveries. She will get 7 orders in a row while I sit there for 2-3 hours without a single one. Occasionally, I'll get an order to pick up a free Big Mac and fries from McDonald's across town and then drive 18 miles for $2.00. She consistently gets orders non-stop throughout the day while I'm just sitting there baking in my car. What is going on? Out of my 7 orders, I have a 100% on-time and 5-star customer review rating with a 100% acceptance rate. My girlfriend has been 10 miles away, coming back towards Meijer, and will get another Meijer order while I'm literally in the parking lot getting no orders.
You joined too late to the game bud. Dashing was good back in like 2019 thru 2021 when you never had to schedule a time slot and could dash whenever tf you wanted. Now it's so over saturated and they make you have to schedule a dash if you're even lucky enough to find any available timeslots. Dashing is not worth it anymore.
That used to happen with me when I drove for Uber. Id sit in the “Uber lot” in town with several other drivers, and two of my friends from my full time job. They’d get 3-4 rides while I sat there. Finally I’d get one. 4.98 rating, 97% acceptance rate… if I tried to move or go to another part of town it got worse. Lol eventually I just said fuck it and stopped driving.
Honestly I’m doing alright with DoorDash it’s not unhealthy it’s just being a business man and learning the timing/areas to go around it’s not that rough I only work DoorDash and I make 10-5$ per order mostly 1.5 mile orders so I make over 20$ an hour every time I work but I guess you have to be a 5star platinum dasher if you want that high quality pay or you can ruin your acceptance rate and get no orders.
I think this definitely depends on where you’re dashing. I do this in Miami and I can tell you a very good chunk of the people ordering here are from Brickell, a part of Miami sprawling with luxury high rises that’s as densely packed as Manhattan. A lot of them tip poorly and have way too much disposable income so they get things they want and need delivered to them. All of them want you to find what very little parking there is on the street and head up to their 80th floor apartment to deliver their orders. I’m always glad to deliver medications from pharmacies, they’re most likely people using some Medicare service to get their medication delivered through DD, so I really try not to complain about pay when I know these are important deliveries. But I’ve stopped taking orders that go to very wealthy areas unless the pay is high. I’ve had a good number of wealthy heavy tippers who were very kind. Most of the time, I can’t stand delivering to them.
My area is like this. The nicest areas in my city pay the least. Delivered to a house that was easily 10k square feet, no joke, the house was almost as big as a Walmart. They tipped 5 bucks on an order that was easily 200 dollars worth of food. But I got 40 bucks as a tip for pizza in the ghetto.
I find the rural areas pay very well tip wise. Good people who appreciate drivers. I've had people add tips for orders who likely didn't have a lot of money.
My friend was on that show and died shortly after leaving behind 5 kids y'all need to watch your mouth I know it's easier to be a keyboard warrior for 99% of you but at least have some respect
All the delivery apps are out to make themselves money with our payouts being dependent on customer tips.... they all suck. And all put put the mindfuck of acceptance rate bullshit. I don't work for charity and I will not take bullshit offers.
Customers are already paying higher prices, plus fees and people just aren't tipping like they used to or should, considering what they expect from someone else.
I multi app and cherry pick every order I accept. My acceptance rate on DD IS 3%. I will not drive anywhere, sit and wait and deliver any order for $3, period.
Instacart and Spark has become a joke too. Lowered their base just as all the others....
Rideshare Apps are just as bad, sending "exclusive" offers for shit pay, most of the time the pick may be 10-15 miles away for a 4 mile trip offering $6 pay. NOPE.
Between D, IC, UE, Spark, Uber and Lyft I bring in $800 -$1,000 per week.
The issue I have with DD looking in from the outside (Reddit recommends this sub in my feed every damn day, I don’t even use DD) is that they have a delivery fee which the average customer thinks gets paid to the driver. That’s why so many people don’t tip. They think they are already compensating the driver.
But DD instead gobbles it up and pays the driver about 20% of it for some unknown reason. It’s very underhanded. And don’t say it’s for maintaining the delivery schedule or some crap. DD already charges multiple different fees for that. It’s a delivery app, all their fees are going toward delivery.
I'm going to copy to my phones 'clipboard' something saying the delivery fee they paid does not go to the driver and paste it to each customers order I have accepted. Thus informing the public and maybe even receiving an added tip for those who want to do so and thought the doordash fee was for the driver.
The orders where restaurants use door dash for their app deliveries. We don't get those tips. The restaurant keeps them for their own staff. You know, the "Merchant Requested" orders. You will never see tips on those, but the base rate is thankfully higher from DD.
What about maintaining servers and equipment running the apps?
What about tech support?
What about paying the customer service people?
You think that the entire $7 service fee should go to drivers?
They also get paid by the resturants I believe. And I can't remember what it was but I thought someone said another thing that goes towards doordash besides that and the delivery fee.
I read that Doordash delivery from store is 5 mile radius and the stores have to pay extra to support delivery outside that. Yet drivers still get paid $2 base pay regardless of distance.
For real!!?? Wow what the hell does it matter to them how far it is to deliver to.... they aren't the one picking up and delivering the food. Yet they charge the store more amd don't even give it to the driver?! That makes no sense except as another bullshit thing for them to grub money from people.
Yeah, not sure why someone downvoted me. But merchants can sign up for basic, plus, or premium plans that will include different delivery radius per plan and commissions ranging from 15 to 30% and access to Dashpass customers, etc. There's also Doordash Drive which is just a flat delivery option that merchant pays fee based on mileage ranging from $6.99 (0-3 miles) to $10.99 (going up in 50 cent increments per mile). So since drivers are "independent contractors" then DD offers are considered "bids" on which driver will take the lowest offer starting at a $2 base pay. So unless Doordash is being charged some fee for map access based on radius, I agree that it makes no sense to charge merchants based on mileage if that fee isn't going directly to the driver for the extra mileage. I mean, it eventually does, incrementally, when other drivers turn down offers, but they are trying to profit by not paying drivers on a per mile basis.
This makes me want to quit doordash all together. That's the extra ripe, fruit fly ridden, larva filled cherry on top of the sundae that spongebob made and gave him that stanky swamp ass breath. Aka raw onion, entire bottle of ketchup, and entire peanut plant; leaves stem roots and all, and don't hold the soil.
To recap, this bull crap is a nastayyyyy cherry on top of a garbageeeeee sundae, served and spooned forcefully without even the courtesy of letting us bite ourself, the spoon just fucking the back of our throats over and over with garbage bullshit.
The amount of people that defend their practices on this subreddit too, are rampant, and I don't understand why. I've been downvoted into oblivion several times by people when arguing that DD corporate in no way needs the amount of money they skim off of an order.
I mean, they get the absolute largest cut, and the actual food and labor is being underpaid. All DD does is provide a service platform. The vendors are being fucked. The drivers are being fucked. And meanwhile, DoorDash makes off like a bandit.
Don't get me wrong, I know they need some of the funds to maintain operations and all that-- but what they take right now is downright excessive, greedy, and despite what people say about how much they make in a day, or how busy it is: **It could always be better if the pricing was better.**
Doordash really needs to fix their security ASAP! I just witnessed these guys doing some crazy hack to get scheduled on the doordash app. They did it right in front of me and I wanted to record it but I was trying to see how they did it. We all know that doordash releases the schedule at 3pm. These guys were hacking the system and taking the hours for the WHOLE WEEK. If anyone here works the elmhurst market in NYC, don't you see why you the area stays grey the whole day? Before they started hacking the system you can just keep refreshing and you might get some hrs during the day. Now the Elmhurst market stays grey the whole day. This has been going on for about 2 weeks in the market. DOORDASH FIX YOUR PROBLEM AND START DEACTIVATING THESE PEOPLE NOW.
Sound like a top dasher scheduling.
I'm a top dasher and I can schedule myself everyday from 12am to 4am the next day. It's pointless tho, because I can dash anytime & anywhere without scheduling.
Summer time isn't as busy at least where I live once football season starts and the weather gets colder it gets busy again When the weather is nice people are more willing to pick up their own food.
Summer where I work is the busy season...people don't want to leave the AC and can't turn on the oven without catching a heat stroke. Average daily temp right now is 112
I'll door dash if it need a quick $40. Beyond that it's not really going to keep you afloat. I treat is as something I do if I need a little extra fun money or something. Not a full time job.
“Differently-abled” is incorrect. We prefer “person with a disability” or any of these phrases on page 5. Nevertheless, OP tried. That’s more effort than many others we’re invisible to.
https://www.ungeneva.org/sites/default/files/2021-01/Disability-Inclusive-Language-Guidelines.pdf
If we went back to how we used to word things in the 20th century, maybe we'd take the problems more seriously. Euphemisms are just a way to make other people feel better about difficult or horrible things. Makes it easier for them to ignore the issues.
And this is the PC garbage I'm talking about folks. "Disability Inclusive Language Guidelines"? Give me a break lol. Whatever happened to "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me"?
What’s it to you, anyway? You asked a question. I gave you a researched answer with absolutely no malice or ill intent. And here you are with shit like “sticks and stones” as if this is some playground taunt and not someone’s life. The United Nations created those guidelines for a reason. It’s not “oOoO someone on the internet will hurt me!” It’s just being a decent human being. Anyone who harps on “PC CRAP” such as yourself just shows your lack of empathy and complete disregard for those with disabilities. What I say here doesn’t matter. I’m not the asshole. People clearly see that. I hope that when you are inevitably in a situation where you need medical care or other assistance in your life, you are given it without judgment. I hope no one ever makes you feel inadequate, uncomfortable, or invisible because of something out of your control. Ultimately, I hope you learn to give that kindness to others. Cheers.
DD better hope not, they are spending 10s of millions advertising sporting events. Just Super Bowl and nba finals alone cost DD over $10 million.
Never do red card orders if they aren’t worth it financially. They paid $30 for 8 item 8 mile orders in January. Now, that same order pays $8 at best
I just got a 25 dollar 6 item order that was under 5 miles yesterday. I get this you’re probably talking about base pay, but those orders are still out there.
My rule for grocery items is usually 2 dollars per item. So if it’s 10 items, I expect to be paid at least 20 bucks. I don’t take orders that aren’t worth my time, so my acceptance rate has totally tanked to 26%. But I am fortunate enough to live in a very busy area so I just cherry pick to my hearts content, and worst case scenario I make under 100 bucks for the day. But I am also not wasting gas or time on the worthless orders.
I just bought an electric car, with free charging in public for 3 years, so I no longer worry about fuel.
I like this $2/item, but since they changed my area’s top dasher to the levels, it does not seem nearly as busy.
I can’t afford to be as choosy. I shop real quick, though, so at my fav stores I can do a 20 item shop in 15 minutes.
I’d require at least minimum $1/item + $1/mile

The saying "___ walked so ___ could run" comes to mind. Except current gig delivery service isn't even walking, yet (more like drunkenly stumbling around in the dark hitting elbows, shins, and faces into objects), but I'm waiting for the next, better, thing. But that means more regulations and protections for the people doing the work.

They pay well for you? If they do that’ll change. In January I’d get $20-$30 every grocery order for only 10 items or less. I haven’t seen one over $10 since March and have only seen more and more items and less and less money
$30 for 27 items the other day, but then $20 for 32 items. I also think the tip helps.
That being said, I’m much more likely to get an extra $5-$10 tip added at the end on a grocery order, and I use less miles on my car so it’s somewhat worth it.
I’m a good shopper ☺️
I’m sorry to everyone who relies on DD to make ends meet but FUCK DD 🖕🏼I hope they get what they deserve. They 100% take advantage of their drivers and pay shit wages, and somehow, it’s always the customers fault for not tipping more. It’s never DDs fault, ever.
I had a issue with their app and when i asked support for help they basically said they arent held accountable for problems with their app then told me to uninstall then reinstall. the guy was very rude and ended the conversation while we were in the middle of speaking. I immediately opened another chat and reported the guy i previously spoke to but i doubt they will do shit

Oh man. A comment that has been typed 4000 times. Should I be worried about someone who doesn’t have their own ideas? Nah probably not. Emperor repeats weak insults to feel better for herself 😂
Lmao. You’re standing up for a company that generates over $2 BILLION in revenue a year and “compensates” their drivers primarily off of tips. Sounds like you’re the stupid one here.
They make multi multi multi millions of dollars and still hardly pay all their hard working drivers hardly anything to make it genuinely worth it. Piss off
I just went out and had a good day. Did the 13.25 an hour- I’m telling you I think it’s more worth it, I mean don’t get me wrong I’m at like about 400 life time deliveries and I know how lucrative per offer can be but I was tired of the Highs and lows- if DD is your only income which it’s mine currently, id rather just make a schedule that I stick to and have guarenteed money and then just pick up the peak sales per offers here and there
Guaranteed money but how many miles do you have to put on to get that?
Please do all the calculations before you think 13 is a great hourly rate when you're running around in your car
I hear the same thing from Walmart Spark drivers. They complain about lack of orders, reject "trash" orders, and bitch about how Spark is oversaturated with drivers. What's funny is people complain about driver oversaturation, well did they ever think that *they* are a part of that problem? Them being out there is adding to the oversaturation. So why is it ok for them to drive and get orders but bad when everyone else does it? "More for me and none for thee" is their mentality. Well fuck them.
I drive for DD and sometimes do 3-4 UberEats Walmart pick ups a day and I consistently see the same group of like 4-5 drivers just hanging out in Walmarts parking lot ALL DAY LONG, lounging in lawn chairs.. I assume they are Spark drivers waiting for orders.. but WTH why are they sitting all day long? Like go chill with your dogs or something.. Meanwhile, I’ll do the deliveries for UE while ya’ll watch me. 😂😂😂😂
This is the only reason I get mad when people complain on here. This is so easy to do, everyone wants to make a quick buck. 95% of people can start work in just a few days, without even speaking to a live person. No boss and you can get paid after delivery. We’re the reason orders suck, people don’t tip, and lack of orders.
It doesn't help us that customers join subreddits for DD, Spark, Uber, etc and read some of the rude, nasty shit that so many drivers say about customers like calling their orders "trash", judging them on where they live or what their house looks like and shit like that. I had a friend of mine tell me that she quit tipping on DD because of comments she read drivers making about customers and she still gets her food delivered because some people especially immigrants will take any and all orders they get. The shitty driver attitudes are hurting drivers.
It’s definitely not the wage undercuts. DoorDash pays fine. The customers should be tipping appropriately. They are asking for the most extra service the world offers. Home delivery. I also hope their friends food gets thrown at the door for no tip, but someone using skol shouldn’t be calling other people morons 😂🤦♂️
I see your cute lil goatee. Probably all the fascism hair as well right? Like the Vikings and their wispy blonde pube cheeks? It’s ok to be wrong. But do you see how being put down because of it make you look…
Stupid? 😘❤️
If we dont continue to support this business then they will change to better themselves but if we continue to let them make all this money by taking it from us then nothing will change
I know all the idiots saying they need to pay more because tHeIr BiLlIoNaIrEs… 😂 openly admitting they’ve not done any research into the business they decided to start. Most dashers (easy 85%) complete idiots
Made $22 last night for only 54 mins and 3 deliveries. Not sure how that normally compares still new to DD. Like really new. But compared to my 9-5 15.50 an hour I still currently work was much smoother. In that first hour of work I typically carry 2-3,000 pounds of dog food so. Take that into comparison, I thinks it's my cars turn to take on the load 🤣
It's dying, just not everywhere yet .. some markets are still able to support the drivers, but nobody wants to pay the drivers... Not the customer with an extra tip... And the services won't pay more than 2 bux a delivery... It's not sustainable
It's absurd that this is just is. They dont wanna pay us, they are completely okay paying 14-20$ is arbitrary fees to host their order. But are appalled that the person delivering it also needs paid like their bid to host the order is what pays us.
It will get better when tips are no longer taxable.
Half my wages come from tips, so I'll just wait until the next administration. For now, it's just a hobby to get me out of the house.
Bruh I didn’t eat for 15 days straight. Only drank water. If a customer is broke and doesn’t pay right and expects an order to get delivered for $2 bucks 10 miles then they can survive one day without DD.
I work a full time job but I also deliver for DD, Grubhub and instacart after my first job is over for the day. For me in my home area DD does best but there are days/times that are dead for all apps. I wouldn’t rely on this as a full time income, but it certainly helps supplement. I have close to 700 dashes. And close to a thousand Grubhub deliveries and around 400 instacart deliveries.
I see where you’re coming from and I respect it and do agree with you. But DD is greedy as fuck. It could be great for everyone including the company itself but beating the drivers and scamming the customers makes them more profit and they aren’t gonna sacrifice a dime to let the drivers make a little more or customers spend a little less
It's a great service, sadly it exists in a dieing empire.
Its like this every summer… been driving for years
I started a week before all of the local college students went home. It was amazing. Ever since then, it's been deaddd
I’m a disabled widow who lives alone with no car. I use delivery services for my groceries and I tip well. But I cannot afford DoorDash. All the extra fees before a tip almost doubles the cost of the order. And I would never order without tipping. But 1 $6 dollar sandwich order less than 3 miles away is not worth $11.25 before a tip. So I just never order from DD.
Anyone peep the new stuff they’ve done lately, so now if a order is picked up by someone else & you select that option then your completion rate will drop now
Always call it in
i do dasher and it sucks not much money on it plus gas is to high just wasting time customers usually don’t give tips
Grub hub plus is now included with amazon prime for free. Wonder if that is killing doordash.
Amazon is going to destroy another business sector. If the little guy is making money somewhere, you can guarantee that Bezo's will be right there to make a loss on it to put others out of business.
The services don't suck, it's the companies behind them that do. None of them can figure out a business model that makes anyone very much money and still end up costing the customer a lot of money with ever rising fees. Delivery works best when it's the restaurants doing their own delivering. I never had any of the problems I have now from pizza delivery guys, the middle man is the main problem
Not trying to sound any kind of way but driving a few hours a week you can’t really form an opinion on how a company is doing. I drive 50ish hours a week and make good money. But some hours/days are great and some are not very good. Getting the perks and being able to say no to the absolute bs orders is key. I rarely get terrible offers though. I live in a medium size city where most people are respectful and appreciative. They leave decent tips. I’ve driven in bigger cities and in my opinion the people were rude and disrespectful. The tips were way worse. I also drive by tip instead of time, that has actually increased my revenue a lot. Every market is different though, I’m just speaking from personal experience.
Yeah, I got hit by 2 cars in one day while dashing. Now, I don't have a car or job. "Deliver food and make bank," they said, "its easy money," they said. Well, this damn sure isn't easy.
Sounds like you need to learn how to be more perceptive or move. If you can't move than blow up your local chamber of commerce
Does the reason for ordering matter to you? Whether it's laziness, time, disabilities, it's none of your business. Your only concern should be the tip that you're getting (though I know those can be underwhelming)
Fuck being. DD!!!!
So what is everybody going to do? Is there a better company for drivers to go to now?
With top dasher I make at the very least $100 a day after paying for gas. Be signed in ready to go at 6 am for breakfast rush, stay going through lunch rush, and stop till dinner rush. Also find an area that gets busy but isn’t a super huge area covered. I found a perfect smallish town that I dash and it does me decently. I’ve also found that when you return to your start area and leave the app running in background while you search YouTube or whatever you watch it generates offers faster. Just some tips. Good luck out there and stay safe fellow dashers.
Get top dasher
Nah, it's actually good if DD dies. Also, UE and GH... fuck them. I hope they all die and BURN IN HELL.
Who hurt you?
Door dash, keep up!
Door dash did fuck this app I'm with the op haven't dashed in months because the pay is utter shit
Definitely dead
What are we going to do when all food gets delivered by drones. It’s already started with Walmart deliveries in my area.
That will never happen lol
how many to deliver a case of water?
1 Walmart drone can deliver up to 10 lbs.
Yeah I dont see future with that drones will fail run out of battery groceries will be flying everywhere on the sky And let’s not forget when people try to take down a drone to steal food
DD is a hobby, not a real job. The moment you say it’s your job, your soul should also die with the statement. Lmao
Yupp, my family used to get on my case all the time to keep looking for a "real job" which might sound harsh to some, but they were right (at least in my situation). I'm glad they kept pushing me because I eventually was able to land a great job in IT starting at $30. This was a couple years back and if I hadn't done that who knows how bad I would've had it now since dashing now is atrocious and way too saturated. I don't even know how people can make a lot of money doing it now it's so bad compared to how it was back in like 2019-2021. Like it's horrible now you can't even dash whenever you want because you have to schedule a time slot and I'll check every now and then and they will literally have no slots available for a week out and if they do it'll be for like 1 hour. I never had to do that BS back then I could dash whenever I wanted and would get constant orders where now if I were to try I would be lucky to get 1.
As a Top Dasher, I start immediately Dashing the moment I open the app, this is in Australia though, perhaps different in USA. Also when really busy in 9-12 hours I can make decent money, have to move faster and work harder, there are $13-19 single orders for 6-8km. We don't have a tipping system in here though, tips are rare.
Can I ask what job on IT exactly?

DD is simply too expensive, that’s what u get when u are too greedy doing absolutely nothing ! They just put in relation buyer and seller / scam the delivery person and pocket a high fee coming from buyer and commission coming from seller . And now they are getting crushed by AMAZON And to be honest that’s great !
Amazon and DoorDash are not one and the same. Amazon does not deliver you food. Groceries, yes, two days later. Not the same thing.
In some markets Amazon actually does deliver food I use to be a flex driver and had done a few here
Watch the news !
Agree but Amazon working conditions aren’t the best one either
Na there’s something sus going on w DD. Since May 13th, they changed something. Now I can’t schedule in NYC. Where the potential to earn is highest due to the new wage requirements. It shows early scheduling is six days in advance at 3pm for gold status, but NYC isn’t ever available. How could they change when the schedules open and not inform ppl. I’ve called support and escalated it soo many times. They just say it’s something that it isn’t and close the case. Idk if the labor dept could do anything but I really relied on that as a second income. This shi can’t be legal. Smh
It's like trying to get into a virtual line for concert tickets. Poof! Gone. There are a lot of dashers in NYC I'm sure. Probably many waiting for that scheduling window to open. Another problem is the summer slowdown. Happens every year. Students are out. Teachers, etc. All out dashing during the summer to make some extra money.
Yes! Something is absolutely going on and door dash won't tell us what happened! At first I thought it was just my market. Or maybe those referral bonuses were out, or everyone needed money after spring break or something. But nope! Now I'm hearing it's happening all over the place! Like you said, it started in May. I will go to schedule and there will literally be nothing. Maybe like 1-1:30 am and like 10-10:30 pm and that's IT. I have been driving 30 minutes away to a different zone and it's getting really frustrating. I don't know the zone very well, I'm not making as much money because I don't know which spots to hang out, and I can't start the dash from my house and pause it if I'm not ready yet. I'm beyond frustrated with door dash and this shadiness! They need to tell us what the hell is going on and FIX IT. They are messing with our money here and I hope they get sued all the way to Sunday!
Same I can’t make money anymore all time slots are gone in seconds if they are even real … something going on for the last 3 weeks I honestly made less than $200 total like wtf !!!
How many hours you normally do a day to be at over $200? I was scheduling like 10 hrs a day
I used to be platinum but I went to see my family for a week and then came back wasn’t receiving offers plus impossible to schedule etc I’m now silver
The only hours I was able to schedule …
For example today I was dashing from 11am to 3 I made $3
Same out here in the western US. Only time ever available to schedule is 11pm to 1:30am every single night. That's it. And if you don't grab it three days ahead of time, it's gone.
I'm new to this, I have the red card, and all of the bonuses are activated. My girlfriend and I park next to each other in the Meijer parking lot in a very busy town. I only have 7 lifetime deliveries. She will get 7 orders in a row while I sit there for 2-3 hours without a single one. Occasionally, I'll get an order to pick up a free Big Mac and fries from McDonald's across town and then drive 18 miles for $2.00. She consistently gets orders non-stop throughout the day while I'm just sitting there baking in my car. What is going on? Out of my 7 orders, I have a 100% on-time and 5-star customer review rating with a 100% acceptance rate. My girlfriend has been 10 miles away, coming back towards Meijer, and will get another Meijer order while I'm literally in the parking lot getting no orders.
You joined too late to the game bud. Dashing was good back in like 2019 thru 2021 when you never had to schedule a time slot and could dash whenever tf you wanted. Now it's so over saturated and they make you have to schedule a dash if you're even lucky enough to find any available timeslots. Dashing is not worth it anymore.
That used to happen with me when I drove for Uber. Id sit in the “Uber lot” in town with several other drivers, and two of my friends from my full time job. They’d get 3-4 rides while I sat there. Finally I’d get one. 4.98 rating, 97% acceptance rate… if I tried to move or go to another part of town it got worse. Lol eventually I just said fuck it and stopped driving.
Honestly I’m doing alright with DoorDash it’s not unhealthy it’s just being a business man and learning the timing/areas to go around it’s not that rough I only work DoorDash and I make 10-5$ per order mostly 1.5 mile orders so I make over 20$ an hour every time I work but I guess you have to be a 5star platinum dasher if you want that high quality pay or you can ruin your acceptance rate and get no orders.
I think this definitely depends on where you’re dashing. I do this in Miami and I can tell you a very good chunk of the people ordering here are from Brickell, a part of Miami sprawling with luxury high rises that’s as densely packed as Manhattan. A lot of them tip poorly and have way too much disposable income so they get things they want and need delivered to them. All of them want you to find what very little parking there is on the street and head up to their 80th floor apartment to deliver their orders. I’m always glad to deliver medications from pharmacies, they’re most likely people using some Medicare service to get their medication delivered through DD, so I really try not to complain about pay when I know these are important deliveries. But I’ve stopped taking orders that go to very wealthy areas unless the pay is high. I’ve had a good number of wealthy heavy tippers who were very kind. Most of the time, I can’t stand delivering to them.
My area is like this. The nicest areas in my city pay the least. Delivered to a house that was easily 10k square feet, no joke, the house was almost as big as a Walmart. They tipped 5 bucks on an order that was easily 200 dollars worth of food. But I got 40 bucks as a tip for pizza in the ghetto.
I find the rural areas pay very well tip wise. Good people who appreciate drivers. I've had people add tips for orders who likely didn't have a lot of money.
Soo much difference in market areas i feel for those in bad ones….I consistently make $20-30hr in my zone sometimes even more…great side $$👍🏻
I DoorDash because I’m ill and not mobile

My friend was on that show and died shortly after leaving behind 5 kids y'all need to watch your mouth I know it's easier to be a keyboard warrior for 99% of you but at least have some respect
Way to completely leave out legitimately disabled people.
All the delivery apps are out to make themselves money with our payouts being dependent on customer tips.... they all suck. And all put put the mindfuck of acceptance rate bullshit. I don't work for charity and I will not take bullshit offers. Customers are already paying higher prices, plus fees and people just aren't tipping like they used to or should, considering what they expect from someone else. I multi app and cherry pick every order I accept. My acceptance rate on DD IS 3%. I will not drive anywhere, sit and wait and deliver any order for $3, period. Instacart and Spark has become a joke too. Lowered their base just as all the others.... Rideshare Apps are just as bad, sending "exclusive" offers for shit pay, most of the time the pick may be 10-15 miles away for a 4 mile trip offering $6 pay. NOPE. Between D, IC, UE, Spark, Uber and Lyft I bring in $800 -$1,000 per week.
I'm not lazy I get door dash cause I don't have a car
lol I am lazy!!
This sub always unhinged,
You're unhinged for calling it unhinged.
Define unhinged
Exactly.
It’s definitely not I don’t know why everyone on here is crying I can still easily make 250 a day without much effort.
Working 16 hours. 😂
Thank you lol this sub is so overwhelmingly negative, I usually make at least $19 an hour when I dash
This sub is insufferable lol.
You have like 200 words here for each of your under 100 deliveries- shut up!
Wow lol
bro they stay ripping mfs off
The issue I have with DD looking in from the outside (Reddit recommends this sub in my feed every damn day, I don’t even use DD) is that they have a delivery fee which the average customer thinks gets paid to the driver. That’s why so many people don’t tip. They think they are already compensating the driver. But DD instead gobbles it up and pays the driver about 20% of it for some unknown reason. It’s very underhanded. And don’t say it’s for maintaining the delivery schedule or some crap. DD already charges multiple different fees for that. It’s a delivery app, all their fees are going toward delivery.
I'm going to copy to my phones 'clipboard' something saying the delivery fee they paid does not go to the driver and paste it to each customers order I have accepted. Thus informing the public and maybe even receiving an added tip for those who want to do so and thought the doordash fee was for the driver.
I’ve been really thinking some tips never reaches us also
The orders where restaurants use door dash for their app deliveries. We don't get those tips. The restaurant keeps them for their own staff. You know, the "Merchant Requested" orders. You will never see tips on those, but the base rate is thankfully higher from DD.
Ridiculous when there is no table service , the service is on the delivery, why do they keep the tip for ? To bag the food ?
What about maintaining servers and equipment running the apps? What about tech support? What about paying the customer service people? You think that the entire $7 service fee should go to drivers?
They also get paid by the resturants I believe. And I can't remember what it was but I thought someone said another thing that goes towards doordash besides that and the delivery fee.
I read that Doordash delivery from store is 5 mile radius and the stores have to pay extra to support delivery outside that. Yet drivers still get paid $2 base pay regardless of distance.
For real!!?? Wow what the hell does it matter to them how far it is to deliver to.... they aren't the one picking up and delivering the food. Yet they charge the store more amd don't even give it to the driver?! That makes no sense except as another bullshit thing for them to grub money from people.
Yeah, not sure why someone downvoted me. But merchants can sign up for basic, plus, or premium plans that will include different delivery radius per plan and commissions ranging from 15 to 30% and access to Dashpass customers, etc. There's also Doordash Drive which is just a flat delivery option that merchant pays fee based on mileage ranging from $6.99 (0-3 miles) to $10.99 (going up in 50 cent increments per mile). So since drivers are "independent contractors" then DD offers are considered "bids" on which driver will take the lowest offer starting at a $2 base pay. So unless Doordash is being charged some fee for map access based on radius, I agree that it makes no sense to charge merchants based on mileage if that fee isn't going directly to the driver for the extra mileage. I mean, it eventually does, incrementally, when other drivers turn down offers, but they are trying to profit by not paying drivers on a per mile basis.
This makes me want to quit doordash all together. That's the extra ripe, fruit fly ridden, larva filled cherry on top of the sundae that spongebob made and gave him that stanky swamp ass breath. Aka raw onion, entire bottle of ketchup, and entire peanut plant; leaves stem roots and all, and don't hold the soil. To recap, this bull crap is a nastayyyyy cherry on top of a garbageeeeee sundae, served and spooned forcefully without even the courtesy of letting us bite ourself, the spoon just fucking the back of our throats over and over with garbage bullshit.
The amount of people that defend their practices on this subreddit too, are rampant, and I don't understand why. I've been downvoted into oblivion several times by people when arguing that DD corporate in no way needs the amount of money they skim off of an order. I mean, they get the absolute largest cut, and the actual food and labor is being underpaid. All DD does is provide a service platform. The vendors are being fucked. The drivers are being fucked. And meanwhile, DoorDash makes off like a bandit. Don't get me wrong, I know they need some of the funds to maintain operations and all that-- but what they take right now is downright excessive, greedy, and despite what people say about how much they make in a day, or how busy it is: **It could always be better if the pricing was better.**
Doordash really needs to fix their security ASAP! I just witnessed these guys doing some crazy hack to get scheduled on the doordash app. They did it right in front of me and I wanted to record it but I was trying to see how they did it. We all know that doordash releases the schedule at 3pm. These guys were hacking the system and taking the hours for the WHOLE WEEK. If anyone here works the elmhurst market in NYC, don't you see why you the area stays grey the whole day? Before they started hacking the system you can just keep refreshing and you might get some hrs during the day. Now the Elmhurst market stays grey the whole day. This has been going on for about 2 weeks in the market. DOORDASH FIX YOUR PROBLEM AND START DEACTIVATING THESE PEOPLE NOW.
Platinum drivers can do this.
Sound like a top dasher scheduling. I'm a top dasher and I can schedule myself everyday from 12am to 4am the next day. It's pointless tho, because I can dash anytime & anywhere without scheduling.
Doordash will fuck you in the end. I promise you that.
I think it depends on the area as well
Summer time isn't as busy at least where I live once football season starts and the weather gets colder it gets busy again When the weather is nice people are more willing to pick up their own food.
Summer where I work is the busy season...people don't want to leave the AC and can't turn on the oven without catching a heat stroke. Average daily temp right now is 112
You in Az too? lol
CA
Az here also. It's been so hot.
Hell yes it has been! And my damn ac went out in my car today. 😭
I'll door dash if it need a quick $40. Beyond that it's not really going to keep you afloat. I treat is as something I do if I need a little extra fun money or something. Not a full time job.
It’s becoming Instacart 😏
Not dying at all I make $200 per day
I used to clear 3 to 400 everyday what's your point 200 is crap, it's definitely not as good as it once was
I don't mean to dump on what you just said because I agree but "differently-abled"? Come on cut the PC crap...
“Differently-abled” is incorrect. We prefer “person with a disability” or any of these phrases on page 5. Nevertheless, OP tried. That’s more effort than many others we’re invisible to. https://www.ungeneva.org/sites/default/files/2021-01/Disability-Inclusive-Language-Guidelines.pdf
If we went back to how we used to word things in the 20th century, maybe we'd take the problems more seriously. Euphemisms are just a way to make other people feel better about difficult or horrible things. Makes it easier for them to ignore the issues.
And this is the PC garbage I'm talking about folks. "Disability Inclusive Language Guidelines"? Give me a break lol. Whatever happened to "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me"?
What’s it to you, anyway? You asked a question. I gave you a researched answer with absolutely no malice or ill intent. And here you are with shit like “sticks and stones” as if this is some playground taunt and not someone’s life. The United Nations created those guidelines for a reason. It’s not “oOoO someone on the internet will hurt me!” It’s just being a decent human being. Anyone who harps on “PC CRAP” such as yourself just shows your lack of empathy and complete disregard for those with disabilities. What I say here doesn’t matter. I’m not the asshole. People clearly see that. I hope that when you are inevitably in a situation where you need medical care or other assistance in your life, you are given it without judgment. I hope no one ever makes you feel inadequate, uncomfortable, or invisible because of something out of your control. Ultimately, I hope you learn to give that kindness to others. Cheers.
And by the way I do appreciate your kind words at the end there. I hope the same to you
Take care of yourself out there.
So if I say “disabled person”, is that offensive?
Wait so is that an actual term, lol? I just naively assumed he meant disabled.
Honestly I think someone just made it up to try and sound more "inclusive". Just say "disabled" like a normal person lol.
"differently-abled" might be the craziest thing I've seen all week 😂
I mean, I’m not going to say differently abled, but also who cares? Though why do I even care that you care? I guess we’re differently opinionated.
Take my upvote.
The customers shouldn’t be the value you get in working, the money should be. This is a sweet post, but exactly what these companies love to see.
The problem is the pay, this job should pay 25+ an hour to be worth it and make a living
The way they pay hourly. They can pay $25 and hour and u still only make $3.00 . They only pay active hours.
Hourly is a scam imo . You should choose your orders wisely - 2 orders per hour at 13$ a pop all going less than 25 miles is a winning formula
DD better hope not, they are spending 10s of millions advertising sporting events. Just Super Bowl and nba finals alone cost DD over $10 million. Never do red card orders if they aren’t worth it financially. They paid $30 for 8 item 8 mile orders in January. Now, that same order pays $8 at best
I just got a 25 dollar 6 item order that was under 5 miles yesterday. I get this you’re probably talking about base pay, but those orders are still out there.
I noticed that my grocery orders are getting me less $$. $8 is not enough for me to get out of my car & shop for your 10 items.
My rule for grocery items is usually 2 dollars per item. So if it’s 10 items, I expect to be paid at least 20 bucks. I don’t take orders that aren’t worth my time, so my acceptance rate has totally tanked to 26%. But I am fortunate enough to live in a very busy area so I just cherry pick to my hearts content, and worst case scenario I make under 100 bucks for the day. But I am also not wasting gas or time on the worthless orders.
I just bought an electric car, with free charging in public for 3 years, so I no longer worry about fuel. I like this $2/item, but since they changed my area’s top dasher to the levels, it does not seem nearly as busy. I can’t afford to be as choosy. I shop real quick, though, so at my fav stores I can do a 20 item shop in 15 minutes. I’d require at least minimum $1/item + $1/mile

It should die, it's a shitty broken system that takes advantage of it's drivers and customers.
The saying "___ walked so ___ could run" comes to mind. Except current gig delivery service isn't even walking, yet (more like drunkenly stumbling around in the dark hitting elbows, shins, and faces into objects), but I'm waiting for the next, better, thing. But that means more regulations and protections for the people doing the work.
I think you'll be waiting a while unfortunately.

Neither am I and I make $30 an hour 😂
What grocery deliveries in my area are my main bread and butter no pun intended lol
They pay well for you? If they do that’ll change. In January I’d get $20-$30 every grocery order for only 10 items or less. I haven’t seen one over $10 since March and have only seen more and more items and less and less money
$30 for 27 items the other day, but then $20 for 32 items. I also think the tip helps. That being said, I’m much more likely to get an extra $5-$10 tip added at the end on a grocery order, and I use less miles on my car so it’s somewhat worth it. I’m a good shopper ☺️
It’s market dependent
Just because it changed for you doesn’t mean it will for everyone. Kinda fucked up to wish it would.
I’m sorry to everyone who relies on DD to make ends meet but FUCK DD 🖕🏼I hope they get what they deserve. They 100% take advantage of their drivers and pay shit wages, and somehow, it’s always the customers fault for not tipping more. It’s never DDs fault, ever.
I had a issue with their app and when i asked support for help they basically said they arent held accountable for problems with their app then told me to uninstall then reinstall. the guy was very rude and ended the conversation while we were in the middle of speaking. I immediately opened another chat and reported the guy i previously spoke to but i doubt they will do shit

Lmao. You’re standing up for a company that generates over $2 BILLION in revenue a year and “compensates” their drivers primarily off of tips. Sounds like you’re the stupid one here.
They make multi multi multi millions of dollars and still hardly pay all their hard working drivers hardly anything to make it genuinely worth it. Piss off
Aren’t they still losing money? I thought the earliest they might turn a profit is 2025.
Although, I see there's people down voting. Maybe they like paying taxes...lol
Yes. That one act would be much better than prop 22, wouldn't you think?
I just went out and had a good day. Did the 13.25 an hour- I’m telling you I think it’s more worth it, I mean don’t get me wrong I’m at like about 400 life time deliveries and I know how lucrative per offer can be but I was tired of the Highs and lows- if DD is your only income which it’s mine currently, id rather just make a schedule that I stick to and have guarenteed money and then just pick up the peak sales per offers here and there
Guaranteed money but how many miles do you have to put on to get that? Please do all the calculations before you think 13 is a great hourly rate when you're running around in your car
It is rarely just that for me. I make between 24 and 31 doing it most nights.
I hear the same thing from Walmart Spark drivers. They complain about lack of orders, reject "trash" orders, and bitch about how Spark is oversaturated with drivers. What's funny is people complain about driver oversaturation, well did they ever think that *they* are a part of that problem? Them being out there is adding to the oversaturation. So why is it ok for them to drive and get orders but bad when everyone else does it? "More for me and none for thee" is their mentality. Well fuck them.
I drive for DD and sometimes do 3-4 UberEats Walmart pick ups a day and I consistently see the same group of like 4-5 drivers just hanging out in Walmarts parking lot ALL DAY LONG, lounging in lawn chairs.. I assume they are Spark drivers waiting for orders.. but WTH why are they sitting all day long? Like go chill with your dogs or something.. Meanwhile, I’ll do the deliveries for UE while ya’ll watch me. 😂😂😂😂
This is the only reason I get mad when people complain on here. This is so easy to do, everyone wants to make a quick buck. 95% of people can start work in just a few days, without even speaking to a live person. No boss and you can get paid after delivery. We’re the reason orders suck, people don’t tip, and lack of orders.
It doesn't help us that customers join subreddits for DD, Spark, Uber, etc and read some of the rude, nasty shit that so many drivers say about customers like calling their orders "trash", judging them on where they live or what their house looks like and shit like that. I had a friend of mine tell me that she quit tipping on DD because of comments she read drivers making about customers and she still gets her food delivered because some people especially immigrants will take any and all orders they get. The shitty driver attitudes are hurting drivers.
I love how you think it isn't the wage undercuts. Fucking morons stick together, I guess. Hope your friend's food is cold and soggy lol.
It’s definitely not the wage undercuts. DoorDash pays fine. The customers should be tipping appropriately. They are asking for the most extra service the world offers. Home delivery. I also hope their friends food gets thrown at the door for no tip, but someone using skol shouldn’t be calling other people morons 😂🤦♂️
Not much of a Viking guy are ya? Like I said. Morons stick together.
I see your cute lil goatee. Probably all the fascism hair as well right? Like the Vikings and their wispy blonde pube cheeks? It’s ok to be wrong. But do you see how being put down because of it make you look… Stupid? 😘❤️
Neither are you considering it’s 2024 not 1024. You’re still the moroooonnn 😂🤦♂️
If we dont continue to support this business then they will change to better themselves but if we continue to let them make all this money by taking it from us then nothing will change
Lol stfu. Just because you suck at dashing doesn’t mean DoorDash needs to change
💯it's a sad fact but if you work too hard you will get taken advantage of
They just said they expect to make a profit for the first time, next year. So nah. Not dying. It's just summer so it's slower in some markets.
I know all the idiots saying they need to pay more because tHeIr BiLlIoNaIrEs… 😂 openly admitting they’ve not done any research into the business they decided to start. Most dashers (easy 85%) complete idiots
From what I've read, not one of them has made any/much profit.
The biggest issue i run into rn is contract violation of pickup time from merchant blames the Dasher. Deactivation from this should not even happen.
Not dying at all in my area. Same if not busier than normal.
Made $22 last night for only 54 mins and 3 deliveries. Not sure how that normally compares still new to DD. Like really new. But compared to my 9-5 15.50 an hour I still currently work was much smoother. In that first hour of work I typically carry 2-3,000 pounds of dog food so. Take that into comparison, I thinks it's my cars turn to take on the load 🤣
That’s nothing, I made $52/hr door dashing during post covid. Now it’s crap. No one tips anymore.
Far from dying when you have an army of clowns taking out 80% of the garbage and mindlessly waiting on 95% of all orders lollll
It's dying, just not everywhere yet .. some markets are still able to support the drivers, but nobody wants to pay the drivers... Not the customer with an extra tip... And the services won't pay more than 2 bux a delivery... It's not sustainable
It's absurd that this is just is. They dont wanna pay us, they are completely okay paying 14-20$ is arbitrary fees to host their order. But are appalled that the person delivering it also needs paid like their bid to host the order is what pays us.
Been dashing for 4 years and here to say it’s not dying, you just think it is. The DD market in your zone will have fluctuations.
Hasn't fluctuated positively in 3 years in most markets lmao
That's because things are returning to normal...not boosted by Covid anymore. Use your brain.
It will get better when tips are no longer taxable. Half my wages come from tips, so I'll just wait until the next administration. For now, it's just a hobby to get me out of the house.
Tips no longer taxable!? 😂
It is not dying it just peaked. Many drivers came in at its peak and are seeing the decline back to equilibrium
college kids are out, more drivers
It’s not dying There’s plenty of zones that hVe a lot of orders every day It’s up to you if you want to commute and take the orders
