Get your acceptance rate up and you'll get better orders, you must have declined a lot of orders to get that low. It just varies how much we make, we never make the same amount every day because it could be really slow one day or really busy where the orders are coming in one right after the other. Our best was like $250 total between dashing a total of three times between two cities. The smaller city we'd get stacked orders which wasn't a bad thing because usually the customers weren't far from the restaurant or from each other and the restaurants were pretty much clustered together. I like the days where as soon as we complete one order, we get another one or get stacked orders before we get to the restaurant. --- Currently Playing: Dead by Daylight,Friday the 13th and Forza Horizon 5 <cite>Mr_Karate_II posted [p:969385698] in Just start...

DD hides tips in order to try to cut back on cherry picking orders, but theres really no rhyme or reason as to how much they hide or not. A no-tip DD order will typically be $2.50-$3 base only.

CE_gonna_CE 11/12/22 9:57:50 PM #30:	MorbidFaithless posted... Drivers probably love me because I order from a place that's like 1.5 miles away. With that and the $10 tips, youre quite possibly their favorite customer in your area, no doubt! How do acceptance rates work? Does it like pop up and you are forced to accept or refuse? Pretty much. The order pops up and you can accept, reject, or simply ignore and just run down the timer, effectively making it just go away and acting similarly to a reject. What happens if you refuse too much? DD: As Mr Karate noted above, there is a Top Dasher program whereby DD claims to give you special benefits that non-Top Dashers do not get, but you have to keep your acceptance rate above a certain level. They claim that, as of now anyway, TDs are prioritized for high paying orders, but I really have no basis to quantify what that means dollar-wise, and have also seen TDs post some low dollar stuff still. I still get decent orders occasionally, and my acceptance hangs around 510%. There are no repercussions for declining 100% of your orders, and you cannot be deactivated (fired) UE: There is no Top Dasher program like DD, so theres no high paying order priority or anything like that. What I have heard in some areas though is that if you fall below a certain acceptance rate, Uber will start hiding the order and delivery details (name of restaurant and delivery address) in an attempt to get you to accept more. This has not yet happened to me.

Does it like pop up and you are forced to accept or refuse?</quote>Pretty much. The order pops up and you can accept, reject, or simply ignore and just run down the timer, effectively making it just go away and acting similarly to a reject. <quote>What happens if you refuse too much?</quote>DD: As Mr Karate noted above, there is a Top Dasher program whereby DD claims to give you special benefits that non-Top Dashers do not get, but you have to keep your acceptance rate above a certain level. They claim that, as of now anyway, TDs are prioritized for high paying orders, but I really have no basis to quantify what that means dollar-wise, and have also seen TDs post some low dollar stuff still. I still get decent orders occasionally, and my acceptance hangs around 510%. There are no repercussions for declining 100% of your orders, and you cannot be deactivated (fired)UE: There is no Top Dasher program like DD, so theres no high paying order priority or anything like that.

Now almost every place delivers via apps, where as before it really wasn't that way. So in theory that opens up a lot more potential customers. Maybe, idk. I started doing it part time in Apr 2020, so during lockdowns. Definitely seemed to me like orders were nonstop and pay was decent. Things maybe slowed a bit when things opened back up. But it also could have been because they signed on a bunch of new drivers. Anyway, I moved at the start of 2021 and noticed a huge decline in order volume and pay from my old town to new. Part of the issue is that I only can really do it late at night since I work full time, and theres just not a ton of places open that late where I live now, or the drive thrus are just awful (upwards of half hour waits for one order) so its just not worth the time. Delivering stuff at your own pace seems like it could be such a cool job if not for the company :( Very much so. My wife and other folks think Im nuts for doing it, but as a side gig I actually quite enjoy it. There are no bosses, you can deliver - or not - at your choosing, and the level of commitment and stress is super low. Once youve delivered, thats it. Just stop and walk away for the day if you want to, no pressure. Compare that to my full time gig where youre pretty much on 24/7 and theres not even really a break when you take PTO. Its also nice that you can turn on the apps anywhere you are across the country. Ive been on vacation and done some deliveries just to pass the time and scope out the area while making a few bucks. Multi-apping also can be fun, and almost like a game to see how much you can maximize your earnings. Its not for everyone, and you can definitely get in trouble if you dont know what youre doing, but if the stars align sometimes you can get lucky. I once had a double stack on both DD and UE, so 4 total orders, all from the same restaurant and delivered to the same general area and direction. Made about $60 for an hours worth of work. --- https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1531-food-delivery-services-general <cite>CE_gonna_CE posted [p:969389032] in Just start...

Declining even low paying orders makes your acceptance rate go down which means you won't be top dasher, can't dash whenever you want or get the higher paying orders or get high priority. The $1/mile thing is just silly especially if all the restaurants are close to each other. I help my sister door dash, we rarely get anything less than $4 but if we do,we take it to keep her acceptance rate around 95% to keep her at top dasher. It can be frustrating at times especially if the customers are rude but it's not bad. You only need a 70% acceptance rate at the end of the month to retain top dasher. Its also a rolling rate based on your last 100 total dashes. Meaning, early month you can say no to everything and still keep top dasher since the last week you can just accept 70% of orders. <cite>daynlokki posted [p:969413830] in Just start...
