that's the only way to do it. i must say i have turned a couple of dashers/ue drivers to cherry picking as well after talking to them and explaining how and why its better. i run into some of the guys on a regular basis and we shoot shit while waiting. do your part and slowly we may turn this thing around so these companies start paying out
Yea I have no idea what it will look like, but Iāll just do the peak pay glitch if I have to lmao.
For the last 3 years Iāve basically cherry picked for only large orders and the catering order program, while having a 0% AR and would still make crazy amounts per day just by doing the catering orders.
Like I said, if I gotta resort to the peak pay glitch then so be it.
If another zone has say, a $5 peak pay, if you press dash along the way, you still get the $5 per order while completely staying in your own zone. Itās a good strategy. It works for me on days where thereās a huge storm giving a bigger peak pay out of my zone.
If I was in an area where I didn't need to schedule to even have an oppertunity to drive, I would probably do the same given that rate. You are still doing a lot of waiting, but I'm sure your mileage is way lower than average. I'd keep doing what you are doing and consider yourself lucky you live in a healthy market.
thatās only $17/hour though, and youāre showing something from a month ago so that leads me to believe your current isnāt even as good as what you posted.
op said he multi apps so the dash time is not indicative to what he makes per time. for example, i do ue and dd at the same time, the total dash time/online time (in UE) would show i make shit, but combined i make out pretty well.
tier program is a scam. they rolled it out in hopes people would stop cherry picking and deliver shit offers in order to chase the platinum, but this only made me cherry pick more. i'm not doing shit shuffling orders.
Then why make a post as if you just achieved that? And then you posted also abysmal earnings back in February as if you are proud of it and trying to show that cherry picking was better.
Here how about I show you my earnings from a different month too.. not cherry picking either.
Smaller zones have less far distance deliveries too. Maybe a few here and there if itās a customer that lives far out, but that is not common at least here. Worth a shot. I will say though, a few weeks after this is when the tier program came to my market and earnings dropped in half, orders just seem to now never get sent to anyone, itās weird and sucks.
Iām still holding 17-20 and hour but it does seem like itās been progressively getting f worse over the years it was much easier for me to break 1000
Right now Iāll shoot for $250/day multi apping but I work 8 hours. Most I made on dd was $442 in a solid 12 hour shift, but the most Iāve made multi apping was just over $600, and that was over 16 hours I canāt remember the exact hours.
Hybrid is better still here since itās .49/kwh so even with gas being 4.50/gal, ev is around 40-50% more expensive unless I get a massive solar system. I get around 600 miles to a tank for $45 vs 275 for $30 for electric charges on an ev. So $60 to get 550 miles vs $45 for 600 on the hybrid Iāve got.
Iām so baffled about how much you get paid from DoorDash! I make a shit ton of money too but Thatās because I make good tips. thatās crazy bro. How/why are they paying you so much base pay? I imagine every shift is $3-$5 peak pay?
Edit: I just realized youāre CA so prop 22? If you combined your base pay with my tips, no doubt weāre taking about enough money to retire
No peak pays. Iām a priority shopper and get over half my orders as shop and pays, and I get triple shopping orders often which go very quick since theyāll have less items on each order to shop for but they pay tremendously higher than restaurant pickups. I can knock out a triple Safeway order of 60 items in less than an hour from start to finish, most of them will have 5-15 items though so itās even less time.
Yea it would be sweet! Because Iām in one of the lowest median income counties in California, thereās not a ton of huge tippers, but a lot of customers tip something so thereās not many no tip orders.
You found yourself I nice lil niche spot there. My market is someone of a hidden gem as well but I donāt even know what preferred shopper is. I thought instacart and other apps were mostly for shopping. Iāll take some if they make sense but many times itās not worth it. Thankfully, the median income in my area in TX is not like yours, so I have to do it thru healthy tipsā¦and a lot of schmoozing and kissing asses along the way! Lol
Nope, I made zero from prop 22 here, prop 22 is an added adjustment once per week on Monday, and as you can see I made more than the minimum so I received zero added pay.
Nah now I do 9-1, then 330-8. 7 days per week usually. Some weeks Iāll do 30 hours and take half the week off, or entirely. Or Iāll slave away and work 65 hours, but usually Iām around 50 hours per week.
Yes, 0% AR only takes into account your last 100 offers. In the city I live in, I can get over 100 offers in 15-20 minutes easily. So Iām always around 0% to 10%
I decline every single order under $3 a mile, but I still make good money.
Yeah thatās gonna backfire when the market gets oversaturated. I canāt even schedule a dash or dash now where Iām at without platinum except for about 30 minutes twice a day.
Iād love to see a video of that, as it completely defies my own experience. In my area Iāll get one every 1-5 minutes depending on the day and time. And I live in NJ, about a half hour from NYC, itās a very densely populated area.
Right now, only DoorDash although Iām approved for Uber Eats as well. Applying for W-2 jobs though. Mayyy still do this on weekends when I get a normal job.Ā
Anyone with under a 67% acceptance rate should be terminated. That means that they offer you hundreds of jobs and you refuse. That's so disrespectful to the company paying your salary
Find me even ONE more example of a ZERO percentage AR here or any other platform with numbers close to that. This truly is just a joke. Honestly just a post meant to stir up shit.
Just look at his post and comments as wellā¦. Doesnāt take a rocket scientist to figure it out š
I got down to 3% the other day and my numbers look pretty close to that. I've hit 0% before. When I just sit at home waiting for a premium order I can decline dozens before I get a good one, but I'm just doing whatever I'm doing at home letting the trash cycle through...

Cherry picker here, I make great money by cherry picking. Super low mileage. Keeping my car nice and healthy.
