Anthony Malveaux on LinkedIn: Earn with the best (2024)

DoorDash recently announced Dashers now have the ability to choose between two distinct ways to earn:Earn by Time and Earn Per Offer.It's their "commitment to provide Dashers with more flexibility and choice by announcing that for the first time, Dashers have the ability to choose between two distinct ways to earn." While DoorDash has positioned this new offering as a way to maintain flexibility while also promoting reliable earnings, the hourly rate isn’treallyan hourly rate. It’s based on the time spent on a delivery, “from the moment [a Dasher accepts] an offer until it’s dropped off plus 100% of tips."Details matter. #lastmiledelivery #driverexperience

DoorDash Respectfully, may I ask: Why does it seem as if unscheduled Dashers, who are allowed to "Dash Now" if they're new/take offers that cost a Dasher money while #DoorDash earns all delivery fees, get to enjoy top priority for receiving orders? Those of us who must schedule because we're not new, and won't take orders that cost us money while you profit, schedule blocks of time and end up sitting around, doing nothing. How is it that you seem to avoid giving us orders to give to the unscheduled, who can "Dash Now" "even when it's slow" which is the opposite of what Grubhub does, where I get last priority as an unscheduled driver? My 2022 earnings were much higher before the over-hiring that by 2023, started this regretful trend. My current acceptance rate hovers around 60 percent, so it's not as if I'm overly particular in deciding which orders to accept.

DoorDash, here's an example of the insanity going on out here. This person ordered two dinners to be delivered 11.5 miles away (that's 20+ round trip, not on the way to any other hotspot) and they gave, I sh*t you not, a $1 tip. I took the order because I was genuinely curious to see what kind of monster would give such a low tip. Stop: calling driver pay a "tip" and allowing these wretched humans to take advantage of the system you provide. Start: calling it what it is. A service fee. Scrap tipping and do a per mile fee. You've run your experiment long enough. You know people will still pay for the service. People are so lazy that someone invented foaming hand soap, FFS. Humans can't even be bothered to rub their hands together to lather up, they need a dispenser to do it for them. The odds of them going back to the old days of picking up their own food are 1000 to 1. You're not going to lose business. If anything, the fees you bring in from charging businesses will increase. Users will purchase more to make the delivery fee "worth it." End rant. Crazy stuff going on out there and with all these complaints about "tipping culture" getting out hand, I think a little insight from someone on the road is needed. #doordash #TippingCulture #DeliveryService #DeliveryApp

I like how DoorDash plays the conversion game.They know buyers have anxiety around tipping.Consumers want to tip less.But DoorDash knows without a good tip they can’t attract drivers to their network.Notice what happens when I click “other” in the tip section:1: they let me know 100% goes to the driver.2: show a photo of a smiling person. It’s easy to be a miser in private, hard to do it someone is looking right at you.3: they tell me why this is in my interest.Clever.
