LIARS, SCAMMERS, AND THEIFS – DoorDash - Dasher Review

I came aboard DoorDash from Grubhub because of the instant cash-out option. Grubhub only paying weekly wasnt the worst but if something comes along appearing to be more innovative and convenient then of course I willingly jump aboard. I am upset to announce my personal studies and experience as a dasher to be far from expected. This has lead to me steering away from dashing unless I am desperate for immediate funds. Here are some insights of my reports as a dasher: -Unable to ever average over $10/hr. An algorithm must be in practice to make this happen. Impossible for tips range customer to customer yet every hour compared to earnings equals to almost exactly $10/hr everytime. -Never seen a tip over $5 regardless of the size, location, or current stats. -Deliveries to family, friends, and customers that tipped $20 and up yet again I still only recieved seen $5 tips or less. -Offers are VERY rarely over $6-$8 -Restuarant’s tablets are poorly managed therefore leading to orders not being submitted until we show them the order -(follows previous statement) Having to choose between either being okay with making $8 for a task that takes over an hour or receive poor reviews and stats for deciding to cancel and transfer to next dasher because no one wants to make $7/hr -(follows previous two statements) Being forced as a dasher to receive low “on-time” ratings because restaurants are behind or their tablet doesnt work so they again only submit the order after we appear and show it to them. As a Dasher I felt continuously set up for failure and overall used and abused. ——-Merchant fails to have order ready on time = Dasher gets lower ratings. ———-Customer unappeased with food received = Dasher gets lower ratings. ———Traffic/Merchant causes ETA to be prolonged for any reason = Dasher gets lower ratings. —— Dasher Support Advisors are not ensuring our issue is resolved and say nothing can be done about the review issues that we feel are not right for us. Today for the first time ever I cherry picked (only accepted order I felt was worth it). Funny how this resulted in my completion time, customer rating, and on-time rating to shoot up and my acceptance rate to go from 98% to 70%. DoorDash as I have reported for has created a platform that for some area feel are set up for failure. I have no idea why I have wasted so much time being a Dasher when I made twice as much on Grubhub. Grubhub customers tips are 10X more than DoorDash because Grubhub doesnt steal them. My Grubhub largest tip was $160 for a taco bell catering order. I am done with DoorDash.
