Game changer
As a Doordash driver, I’ve constantly had to rely on my instincts and past experiences to choose whether or not to accept an order, especially in cases of sold by merchant. Far too many times, I’ve received little to no tip even on some of the biggest orders i’ve carried. Para allows me to have insight into my routes and possible income and it gives me peace of mind to know I can immediately decline a no tip order. Of course, sometimes Para isn’t 100% accurate - but in that case, you’re only getting paid more than estimated. I am so grateful for this app and have and will continue to recommend it to any food delivery driver. Thank you guys for this app!! Absolute game changer.Show lessJordan Aves
Love this app
I’m a college student that often does Doordash on the side to help bring in extra income and i couldn’t imagine doing it without this app. I love how it gives you the full payout price (base pay + customer tips) so you know exactly whether or not the order would be worth the drive. There have been plenty of times it has saved me from accepting an order of only $2 and over a 20 minute drop-off commute. There are times where there are a few bugs that need to be fixed in the app but they work diligently to get them solved.Show lessKirsteinWill
Great App
I drive with door dash. DD does not give you a breakdown of your earnings until after you complete the order, which can be really frustrating because sometimes you’ll find out you just drove 15 miles for no tip. Para gives me tip transparency so i can see exactly what i’m going to be paid for the order (which is sometimes higher than what DD shows me). It’s unfortunate that DD has placed cease and desist order on para for providing tip transparency. However, Para immediately informed it’s users via email and has kept us updated and remaining hopeful.Show lesstinyplutos
Thankful!
I am beyond thankful to be able to cherry pick orders with knowing the sub totals of restaurants before I accept the orders. This makes it easier and more efficient to get higher paying orders throughout the day! Honestly, I HATE working without having Para on. Please keep up the good work, we know it’s not your fault the full tip transparency has been taken away by DoorDash. Keep up the great work/service. 😁Show lessRHistraah
Very useful app & its free
I’ve been using Para for several months. Para has been very helpful guiding me to make the best decisions for myself.
Even though para does not give the exact hidden tip (thanks to DD), it gives tip prediction, which is still very help. I think this has saved me time/gas in making informed decisions.
The para team always goes above & beyond with communication keeping their users in the loop. And when an issue arises, they are always working hard to fix it. Best part of all is that it’s free!Show lessLEB87
Keep fighting!!!!
These guy’s are amazing and the app is amazing DoorDash doesn’t have any right to hide the hidden tips from the drivers and not allowing us to make informed decisions on what orders are worth taking and which ones we loose money on, even if it’s only the estimated tip now unlike before I cannot say enough good things about being able to see the subtotal and and that allows me to atleast make a better judgment on what orders will be better until DoorDash allows us to see the full pay of the order because it’s wrong not to allow it since we have a lot of expenses such as gas,insurance,depreciation,maintenance.
Keep up the good work guys!!!!Show lessShennmori

Thank you so much for leaving a kind review, we appreciate you!Great Idea, Sometimes Inaccurate
This app is a great idea and I appreciate their effort to give us drivers transparency with our pay. However there has been several orders were the Para app estimated pay is significantly higher or lower than what the actual payout was from DoorDash. I can recall Para saying an order would pay a total $20 with a $13 tip. Once I completed the order it was only $13. It is possible that DoorDash is stealing tips or the app is just inaccurate at times. I’d believe both to be true.Show lessjohnwinstony
More reliable than DoorDash
I am so impressed with the Para team and their mission to be on the side of gig workers. With all these app based gigs; it seems the “independent contractors” are being taken advantage of in terms of pay transparency, cost of maintaining your vehicle and all the money you need to spend to deliver food or people. These apps make us pay for the hot bags and lower our pay. No ones making a profit besides their investors.Show lessAmazonWarrior37
Add time of order placed + time order is ready for pickup.
Showing us information about when the order was placed as well as when the order is ready for pickup would be very helpful for deciding whether or not to accept an order.
Certain orders may seem appealing at first, only until you realize after accepting the order that the order was just recently placed and you'll need to wait 20 or so minutes for the order to be ready for pickup. Knowing this information beforehand would be extremely helpful.Show lessShiblumi
Glitchy app or stolen tips?
I have been using this app with door dash for a few weeks and at first it was a life changer. It really helped me to maximize my earnings but somethings up now. Whenever it shows me an amount different than what the door dash app initially offered, it's never the correct amount. For example, if door dash offers me a $5 order, but the para app says it's actually $10, when I finish the order I'll only make the $5 that was initially offered by door dash. Sometimes the amount will differ and I'll make maybe $6-$7, but it is never as high as what para estimated it would be. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the app itself or if door dash is stealing tips from its drivers but I'm pretty disappointed and don't want to use the app anymore.Show lessDaJanaeMo😊

Hi DaJanaeMo - Connor here updating our response to you. While it has been 8 months since you left this review, we hope that you have given Para a second opportunity as we have released many new features to help throughout your doordash day! Features including "stars" that mark when we are extremely confident of the tip prediction, informing you ahead of time whether you are delivering to a home or apartment, and the ability to flag restaurants, buildings, or people with positive or negative notes that will remind you the next time you have a similar delivery, all features in which we have received positive feedback from. We hope that you reconsider this rating and if not, we would love to continue the conversation at help@withpara.com, thank you!
