Most people expect $2-5 tip is enough for their single meal/fast food/coffee delivery because percentage wise, it is a lot compare to their mea. Time wise for dasher, even if the place were within literally down the street or same building, still take over 15-20mins for orders like that and with $2 base pay, barely fed minimum wage and definitely under most state's min wage.
Tried it and dropped it within a 2 week, didn't even put my own bank info for withdraw and they mailed me a check at the end of the year for cash out. DD probably works better in a city when everything is tightly packed and customers would actually COME DOWN to get their stuff. Going up and down apartment would burn another 10 mins and even more just for parkings.
Oh, forgot promo/guarantee bonus during weekend/rush hour where DD/UE would pump their $2 base to X when you to do Y orders, those are the only time you will meet $10-15/hr. But aldi/lidl/walmart here are hiring for $16+ already.
I hope you dont drive stick. Your knee will get fucked up.
Doordash pay has gotten worse and worse as time has gone on. Ive only ever done it as a part time thing on the side just to waste time and get some extra cash, but these days Im lucky to see a handful of orders more than $5, as you said.
Its only worthwhile to me to dual app it with Iber Eats, and even then UE is also pretty terrible in my area these days.
I cant imagine having to rely on these apps for a full time income. I think youd have to hustle and work many, many hours, and live in a high volume area (major city).
ya it really is just a no win solution. The price for customers is already as high as it can really go while still getting orders and no ones really making money here except the restaurants themselves, so no real good solution to the problem.That's the ultimate rub with food delivery services. They don't make anyone money. It doubles the customer's cost, it increases the restaurant's cost and the driver barely makes money on it. And trying to tweak any of those things just breaks it's already delicate balance even more.
Are you in a busy area like NYC or LA?no we did this in the Syracuse NY area, which is a medium-sized city.
*pojr*
Also, make sure you never hand the wrong order to someone. It is a pain to retrieve.we haven't encountered that issue yet thankfully. her and i have been careful.

seems like the only people really seeing the money is doordash corporate.Nope. Doordash has never made a profit.
