Signing Up for Doordash: Requirements, Orientation, and FAQ

As you guys know, I’m always looking for new opportunities when it comes to the rideshare game. When I first started driving for Uber and Lyft in 2014, I was making $20-$30/hr every time I went out but I knew that wouldn’t last. I was actually making more per hour from driving for Uber than I was at my day job as an engineer. But after a few rate cuts, things have obviously changed. I still go out and make decent money, but it’s about in line with what you’d expect an Uber driver to make.

I learned a lot from the entire experience though, and one of the big takeaways for me was that a lot of these companies provide the best opportunity when they’re just getting started. If you’ve talked to founding Lyft drivers or OG Uber drivers, you know that companies have a lot to spend in the beginning and they’re not really worried about profitability, so that’s why you see big sign-up bonuses, guaranteed pay, etc.

Delivering For DoorDash: What Was My DoorDash Orientation Like?

DoorDash Orientation, Sign Up, and FAQ

One of the reasons why I started looking into DoorDash is because even though they’re only in a handful of cities right now, they are growing as rapidly today as Uber and Lyft were in 2014. That means they need lots of drivers, and there’s probably a lot of opportunity, so that’s why I decided to sign up. In my last article, I talked about why so many drivers are signing up for DoorDash. Today I’m going to detail what that actual sign-up process is like, and tell you about what I learned at my DoorDash orientation. [Read more…]

Doordash Tips & Tricks: How To Maximize Your DoorDash Income

There aren’t a whole lot of nationally available rideshare options outside of Uber and Lyft these days, but fortunately for drivers, there are a number of growing delivery companies. In the past, I’ve covered what it was like to sign up with DoorDash but today, we’ve got an article from RSG contributor Dash Bridges about how to really maximize your earnings while delivering for DoorDash.

PS the best way to maximize your ridesharing and delivery income is to sign up for multiple services like Uber Eats, Postmates, and Lyft. That way when one of the apps is slow you can use another one. Or if you become suspended from one account you can use another one. Click here to sign up for more rideshare and delivery services.

Hey Rideshare Guy readers, over the past year, I’ve logged 900+ deliveries over nearly 500 hours driving for DoorDash. Along the way, I’ve picked up quite a few tricks of the trade. My goal is to share my experiences and help you maximize your earnings while working delivery. So with that in mind, welcome to Dashville!

Doordash Tips and Tricks

My background: DoorDash is my side gig. I’m an operations manager for a networking hardware manufacturer here in Silicon Valley. I’m sure that job sounds exceptionally glamorous and lucrative, but I can assure you it’s not. DO YOU KNOW WHAT HOUSING COSTS ARE HERE IN THE SF BAY AREA? Exactly. So, needing additional income, I signed up for DoorDash through a Craigslist ad. These days, I spend a couple of weeknights and Sunday evenings making deliveries for extra cash. Although I sincerely enjoy dashing and its change of pace from my day job, make no mistake, I am here to MAKE MONEY. When I dash, I’m serious about it. I’ve got 3-4 hours to hustle. Get in. Make money. Get out. Go home!

Rideshare vs Delivery Compared [Infographic]

I get a lot of questions about whether or not delivery is better than rideshare driving, and unfortunately the answer is: it depends. But that’s actually good news, because in some cases delivery might be better for you, or rideshare driving may make more sense. To help break it down, senior RSG contributor Christian Perea presents the following infographic, which compares delivery to rideshare driving.

There are a lot of similarities between rideshare and delivery jobs, so it’s important to examine the differences between the two. It’s interesting to compare and contrast rideshare and delivery since there are actually a lot of little things that make these lesser known side-hustles a little bit different. Personally, I find that on certain days I prefer to do one over the other based on how busy it is, what incentives are being offered and whether or not I want to deal with strangers in my car.

Most of us already drive for Uber or Lyft, but I always recommend having a backup plan by also signing up for a delivery company. If you want to start off delivery with a good company, I recommend checking out Caviar since in my experience I end up spending less time waiting at restaurants and they always have the delivery ready for me when I get there (which minimizes downtime).

How Much Does DoorDash Pay? A Day in the Life of a Dasher

Hey everyone, Dash Bridges here to give you an insight into the life of a DoorDash driver.

It turns out that Sundays are the busiest day of the week for delivery drivers and today I will walk you through a typical Sunday delivery session including details about how much money I made.

Doordash Pay & My Experience

Last week my editor suggested I bring readers with me on a doordash shift, describing what a Dasher does on a specific night and how much money you can make. In previous articles I’ve talked about maximizing dashing efficiency, and I’ve reviewed a year’s worth of job data. Those are all high-level reviews. Today, let’s focus on a single shift. I kept detailed records of my two Dashes last week, and I’ll cover my Sunday experiences in a running diary format. Let’s go on a Dashalong, if you will. So hop in and let’s get to it!
