  • NO PAYMENT

    After delivering of 3 Weeks , still didn’t receive the payment, reached customer support multiple times in last 3 weeks, no one cares about the Dasher, feels like waste of time doing Dasher.
  • Fair but not worth it

    Listen, I never write reviews. But I figured someone deserved to know. If gas was like two dollars cheaper, this would be a great little side hustle. But DoorDash pays you the absolute bare minimum they possibly can. You have to rely solely on people‘s tips and not a lot of people like to tip. And it shouldn’t be a requirement for people to tip at all(should only be common courtesy). But the only reason people who DoorDash get upset at people for not tipping is because that’s literally their main income. And it really influences your order because if you don’t tip, they usually get about three dollars to four dollars at best. And a lot of people don’t like to accept those orders. Sometimes people take advantage of your lopaying order and steal your food or something worse. All in all, it’s not the door Dasher or orderers fault, it’s just DoorDash being greedy. When you DoorDash, you really are just earning what you spent in gas. You have to do over at least eight orders in order to make even a couple bucks on the side. If you have a high-paying job and do this on the side, go for it. But you can’t do this by itself. you would think that when you accept an order from a hotspot and it takes you to a really far distance, that they would compensate you for that. But they really only tack on an extra dollar or two. Not only does this seem like a waste of gas, but a waste in time. just consider this before you sign up.

  • Good Opportunity

    Hi please start ASAPRideshare as well we have 400 people group in Wellington who can start straightaway your rideshare.
  • Address, talk to customer sometimes after delivery

    Some of the address are hidden , recently I had an order after taking it to the address or what I thought, I couldn’t find the address because it was this place I had never been. After calls and taking ti the customer Which didn’t help I ended up wasting my time looking for the address which also was later on put has late on my rating. Can dd please make this easier for the drivers. I also got 1 star rating out 5 because of that and it was even my fault. Keep in my I was taking to the customer this all time, forward to few hours am seeing my rating go down and before this I had 5 now am below that. My complaint is to talk/text customer who have given you the low rating cuz sometimes is not even the driver fault. And I also want the DoorDash to send the drivers who give rating/who’s food did u deliver that gave you the rating. In my opinion I think it will help the drivers knowing what they did wrong and how to improve.

  • Not user friendly

    DoorDash does NOT let the drivers Dash on there own schedule! Drivers are forced to catch an open time slot on the app’s schedule and that’s if the driver can ever see the open times available to schedule, a week in advance, due to the time ( 3pm or 12am , now unsure) when the schedule becomes available. They have what they call “Top Dasher” of the month, which becomes available to drivers that hold a high rating, however to become a Top Dasher with a high rating means a driver has to except all orders assigned to them, 12 mile or more deliveries for just the base pay sometimes because customers get a free trial for 30 days therefore they don’t tip.
    Also DoorDash drivers are now forced to shop then make the delivery, on the same low base pay.
    Doordash has become greedy due to other apps, that offer higher base pay and tip, that requires shopping and delivery.
    Doordash isn’t “”DoorDash”” anymore!
    And drivers should not be rated on friendliness by the customer, drivers are working drivers are not trying to make friends! And customers are rude, needy, don’t give good directions, and they don’t tip….. with the timer running (ratings), heat, store employees, and traffic, all of these factors on the Drivers, and the customer ( who puts in there notes “ leave at the door “, AKA: I’m not tipping) get the opportunity to rate “ Friendliness “ of the driver? Come on, really? Nope, DoorDash only gets 1 star rating, DoorDash is not a good side gig, DoorDash is lie.

  • App never works

    I’ve been using this app for nearly 2 years now. And that course of time there of been a number of issues with the app. Seems like the developers are constantly making changes and constantly those changes or breaking something that makes it not work. At the moment I am unable to text my customer to let them know if their food is running late, I’m on my way or any other information that would be helpful to the customer. On top of that during the busy times the app goes off-line. Meaning the drivers app completely crashes and leaves you in the dark. Sometimes leaving you holding a customers order and unable to find where to deliver it. Also DOORDASH itself can be decisive because they do not tell you the actual amount of the order. Sometimes they’ll tell you the exact amount the customers gonna pay you and other times they have hidden amounts in the order. Also they let a lot of restaurants take orders well beyond the delivery areas. Me sometimes you could get an order for some frozen food or even hot food and have to drive 20 minutes or more to deliver it. All these things factoring the bad ratings from our customers. And when you get bad ratings from your customers DOORDASH starts to hold back on orders or good orders that they give you. So in the end the app is actually making your life harder. It would be nice if DOORDASH would fix the app and leave it alone.

  • Great app, a few gripes.

    I just started dashing yesterday (March 28th) and I do have to say that for the most part I was somewhat pleased with this app, but at the same time there was two orders that were way, way outside of the service zone, and one was actually closer to another zone so I’m kind of wondering why the consumer app didn’t tell inform person to order from the next town over in between mine and his? They definitely need to work on suggesting much closer cities for rural customers. Especially if a customer only has an order for a double cheeseburger & small fries and nothing else. At least they tipped a good amount. I’m just going to have to get a few other things going before I can do this full-time, until then I won’t mind getting at least a few 100 dollars/wk for my efforts. I also want to tell customers in my area to stop ordering from KFC/Taco Bell, there was two separate customers that were pinged at the same time at that restaurant and neither one of them had their orders completely, that restaurant never has anything in stock, FaceTime my previous experience as a customer at that restaurant myself. I had to make substitutions which was a royal pain to sort out, after texting both customers back-and-forth to find out what substitutions they would like. If someone from DoorDash actually reads this please don’t make dashers go more than five minutes away from the zone, gas isn’t that cheap anymore if you haven’t figured that out already.

  • My Dasher Experience / 3 years part-time

    I am thankful that I can select & customize my schedule.
    First off , I have enjoyed DoorDashing in many areas in N. California area. The app is amazing ! I have delivered to homes, businesses, schools, hospitals, fire departments, ( one time my customer was landing his helicopter prior to my arriving with his delivery) Pretty fun to watch : )
    My favorite delivery’s are the ones in my small town in the country. I am very selective in which delivery’s I will accept. For example, if the pay is $10 - I will drive a maximum of 5 miles. If the pay is $ 10 for 20 miles ( I usually decline those trips) I avoid the problematic orders. In my area, there are many cell tower connection problems so I stay in the areas with cell coverage. I have experienced many trips where I could not contact the customer and the order requested a text when I arrived and due to the unknown off grid order. I have experienced some scary situations. Some area s up country do not have street signs, or houses do not have house numbers. And there could be a off lease dog roaming around the yard. I will only deliver if I feel safe. If I feel unsafe I leave the area. And I call DoorDash support. They are quite helpful.

  • Basically kicked off

    I have been a dasher for over 3 years. So about 3 months ago my account started giving me an error message saying I couldn’t dash because my red card is not activated. So I called into cs and was told to order a new red card. I was extended for 2 weeks to continue dashing until I received my red card. I received the card and I wasn’t able to activate the red card so I called cs and they tried to assist me in the process but were no help. They couldn’t figure out what the problem was so they extended me for another 2 weeks to figure it out. Called back still couldn’t resolve the issue. I was told to order another red card and was extended for another 2 weeks. I received the new card and I’m unable to activate this one as well. Called cs and they couldn’t figure it out. Then they tell me oh you didn’t complete the background process and send my a link to do this. I follow the directions in the email. I get an error message basically saying background more than 1 year old not available. Called cs back they extend me for 2 weeks and try to figure it out. This extending process goes on for a while every 2 weeks. Then my issue was supposedly escalated and someone would get back in touch with me but this time I can’t be extended for some reason. It’s been 2 weeks and a haven’t received any response. So basically I was just kicked off with no explanation.

  • It’s ok.

    App is ok. I have issues with the maps. Usually faces in the wrong direction when I start. That’s not too big of an issue. What is an issue is getting an order that’s a 20 minute drive out of your zone and having to drive that 20 min back and not getting anything until you return to your zone. If a restaurant can add a gratuity when a party is a certain size, DD can do the same with a certain distance. When you’re in the middle of traffic, you really can’t see how far it really is and what kind of tip they leave until after you accept and stop at the location. Sometimes even going into another county. And forget about reaching support if you’re a dasher. I called 5 times and the automated thing just kept taking me in circles until it hangs up on you. Chatting, I was able to get someone fast through customer support. Dasher support? Nope. No one answered after waiting 30 minutes. Other than that, it’s been ok. Just don’t know why my deposit for the week was shorted from my actual amount. That’s the reason why I called the support line.
    Another issue I came across is wait times on food being ready. I keep having to unassign orders because they won’t be ready for 15-20 minutes. I’m not waiting that long for $5. They need to make it so that we won’t receive orders until it’s ready for pick up. Other than that, we’re just waiting time and $6 gas
