DoorDash has gone to absolute shit

No flair

I think this company is trying to make drivers quit. Nearly every order I’ve gotten for the past month has been some ridiculous distance for about $6. DoorDash is also running a referral incentive in my area of $1000, so they are desperate for drivers. So if the company is having such trouble finding people willing to do this job, why are they treating their current drivers like shit?

And before the DoorDash employees chime in with “I make great money and I barely work” just know that you are part of the problem and I hope you enjoy your life now cause when this company goes under you’ll be struggling to find work.

Every order I've received today has been in the $6 range.

Just reject all the far orders. I’m in the 30% range for acceptance right now...was mid 70’s a couple days ago, but they keep throwing stuff in other areas not worth my time. If they ever call me (which they won’t) I’ll be sure to tell them why. Some orders just should not be accepted by the platform. My completion is 100% though.

Can I ask if you're like, allowed to wait for the 90 second countdown to finish down? Since if you decline it it's gonna affect your acceptance rate but maybe if you just ignore it, maybe it'll just go away without affecting your rating whatsoever? Thanks in advance!

Just reject, here’s why:

  1. Still affects your acceptance
  2. Takes 90 secs for your next order to come in.
  3. The app will think you’re away from your phone and pause you.

Last year in my area the referral went down to $0 because we had enough drivers and I was getting orders constantly and everything was fine but at the start of the year it went back up to $500 and now we are oversaturated and we're getting no orders at all

It's been shit nationwide for a couple of weeks now. It's a cyclical business. I've had insane bonuses and income for the last few months, amazing market - last week or two, almost no bonuses, and tons of $4 shit orders. It'll come back around, eventually.

It's spring, people are going outside, college spring breaks are happening, rent is due for many tomorrow, and also there's been a lot of bad press in the news lately (salsa, milkshakes, home robberies, assault - almost all associated with DoorDash).

100%. Post of the week. Exactly the same here. We can't even get on a schedule here for the whole week!

Same in West Denver. All low paying trash or stuff that's way less than $1 a mile, can't trick me to go 18 miles for $10 lol.

I do great on doordash and I never schedule a shift. Sounds like your area just sucks 🤷🏼‍♂️

Dashing now still puts you in a shift ya know (hence needing to select an end time) you're just not doing it in advance.

2
MrNiceGuy42089•

But you end dash after very order to get the bonus right? The shift is just a joke you work when you want for how long you want

The same can be done if you schedule in advance. I schedule in advance and sometimes end shift after every two or more orders then go back in to start a new one. You don't have to work the entire shift. There is no off schedule in DD like GrubHub has off block. I'm just saying it's all the same, you're just scheduling in advance or not in advance.

DD just does that referral thing when they lose drivers..they just want to have more drivers than orders so deliveries are covered for sure.
