Leave a Review Para
…an A for effort
The app is no longer what it used to be ever since DoorDash hit them with the cease letter. Para used to be spot on with the hidden tips but after they came back from the legal battle it hasn’t been the same. The information you get from Para is no different then what you get from DoorDash. Seems like they are using a completely different system now. It’s like probability algorithm, hunches I can somewhat make myself. I don’t blame Para (DoorDash lawyers clearly put spigot on the information). I’m giving the app a 5 star because of effort and what Para stands for in this contractor vs employer relationship. Some may find this app useful still but I no longer see much use since I can make my own educated guess if an order is worth it or not. I primarily use UberEats now for deliveries and there’s not support for that app.Show lessDu_Voir
A gas and time saver!
Para has helped in estimating countless amounts of tips especially recently when doordash made base pay vary on distance which made extremely difficult to predict hidden tips on the fly. But other than that, para also shows me things such as items being ordered or the subtotal which is a wonderful and useful feature for orders like CVS and Walgreens! It can really turn those high risk orders that can have a hidden tip but far distance into something much more secure and worthwhile.
The only problems I have with the app is the occasional bugs, like showing me a completely wrong order even getting base pay wrong or the restaurant. The estimate isn't always spot on accurate, but it estimates really close to the actual amount missing it most of the time by just a few cents up to a dollar which is better than making a personal guess. I also wish it had a better interface for stacked orders, it'll only show you the tip for one of the orders most of the time in the banner. Stacked orders normally require for you to open the app to see the full details.
Other than these few kinks, Para is amazing, and regardless of it's technical issues, it is eons better than trying to guess the tip yourself on the fly while driving with only a few seconds to do so!Show lessIihuh
I love Para
It is unfortunate that Para cannot retrieve what the actual full tip amount for a delivery is anymore since Doordash changed the algorithm in which the tip information is displayed. However, they have still been able to successfully retrieve other data that helps a lot such as the subtotal of the order and what items the customer ordered. It’s great when there is an order that is kinda far that you normally wouldn’t take but you see that it’s actually a $200 order; it definitely helps identify those possible hidden unicorns :)Show lessMatthew Tombyll
Provides solid tip transparency, only minor glitches
Overall, I love this app. It makes working as an independent contractor much easier, and provides reliable delivery expected payouts (for the most part!). On occasion, it will show an expected payout slightly higher than it truly is, but it happens very rarely and it’s usually only a $1-2 difference at most. Would absolutely recommend this platform to any & all independent contractors working through Grubhub or DoorDash!Show lessWarriorsBasketbal1332
Pretty good
Overall this app does its job well, however, I have been noticing recently, and maybe it’s as a result of apps like these, DoordDash has been not hiding everything anymore, because the amount shown on para is the same now as what’s shown on DoorDash. I’ll still continue to use this app though, because I like to see the exact amount that I’ll be getting tipped, because if it’s a decently far order with no tip, then I skip. So, thank you Para for showing the exact separation between the categories that go along with the app! :)Show lessHarrypotter2oh
Mostly Great
When I first started using the app with Doordash, this app really helped make me more money. A few orders I normally would’ve declined I decided to accept because Para listed a much higher payout (and it was right). However, over the last few weeks it seems more inaccurate and hasn’t helped that much (though it still helps, which is why I gave it a 4 star rating). This is just how apps work though. They have to constantly tinker with it, and occasionally some of those tweaks don’t work out. Same thing happens with the all mighty Apple apps.Show lessryrock22
Helpful with DoorDash!
This app is pretty good. I wouldn’t say it’s perfect because sometimes the payouts are a little off. BUT, if you do any DoorDash shopping orders I think it’s invaluable. It will show you the items you are shopping before you accept them, which is an absolute game changer. “3 items” can be 3 50lb bags of dog food, or 3 small bakery items. Knowing this ahead of time makes accepting those orders a much more informed process and honestly is the only reason I ever accept them.Show lessstephen.arthur12
Very Useful
I have been using this app for a few weeks now while doing door dash and ever since I did I’ve noticed a huge change in my earnings positively. It allows me to judge a little what’s worth accepting and what isn’t. Showing the subtotal and estimated tip makes earning a little more easy in my opinion. And I can only hope that the app will continue to grow and improve for the future to come.💪🏾Show lesskeygotgame223
A nice tool to use while working
It’s actually so helpful using this app while I DoorDash because sometimes you can’t see the full amount including the tip till after you complete your dash so it’s easy to tell if I should accept it or not a dash or not with this it tells me before I even accept it, it’s so helpful thank the lord for this I can actually make good money while I dash now😂.Show lessSmile magz
MUST HAVE IF YOUR A DRIVER!!
Super helpful app!! I’ve been doing door dash for a while but i just started using Para not too long ago. It literally make the job so much easier, the app makes the orders much more transparent so you’re really sure about your earnings. Door dash doesn’t tell you how much the order is worth nor does it share the full tip amount but Para covers all of that. Definitely would check it out!Show lessTHAT GIRL LOL
