DoorDash Driver Hacks

1. Reactivating a Deactivated Account

  • You can reactivate your DoorDash account if deactivated.
  • Reference to a video for detailed steps on reactivation.

2. Getting Free Food

  • Krispy Kreme Donuts: Ask for a free donut at the drive-through.
  • Little Caesars: Build connections with the staff for free food.

3. Getting Paid for Delivered Orders

  • Issue: Arriving at a restaurant to learn the order was already picked up.
  • Solution: Text the customer to confirm the order was delivered, mark it as delivered for full pay.
  • Caution: Possible risk of deactivation.

4. Guaranteed Pay with Solo App

  • Use the Solo app for guaranteed pay.
  • Input scheduled hours; if earnings fall short, the app pays the difference.
  • Additional tools: Expense tracking, tax help.
  • DoorDash likely disapproves of third-party apps.

5. Multi-Apping

  • Use multiple delivery apps (DoorDash, GrubHub, UberEats) simultaneously.
  • Be cautious with accepting too many orders to avoid deactivation.
  • Strategic usage can help fill slow periods.

6. Viewing Stack Order Pay Individually

  • When given a stacked order, view each order's pay individually.
  • Decline low-paying "garbage" orders, keeping the more profitable ones.
  • Steps: Click on the three hash marks -> select order -> unassign.

7. Mileage Estimates

  • DoorDash's mileage estimates can be inaccurate.
  • Know your area well to judge actual distances.
  • Double-check distances via mapping tools if uncertain.
