If you are not receiving orders, please check to ensure the following: Your network connection is working. You are logged into a Dash. Your Dash is not paused.
Dashers can be deactivated from the DoorDash platform if they have a Completion Rate below 70%. We understand that it's not always your fault if you can't complete a delivery. Things happen -- your car dies or you have a family emergency.

Actually, they most likely learned about the hotspots during their Doordash orientation. Every region has a hotspot, and most have more than one. As a new dasher, common sense will tell you that this is where you need to park yourself to increase your chance of receiving an order.
Gottsman suggests tipping at least 20% of the total cost of the meal, or at least $5. There are other things you should consider when you tip: Tip in cash: Some food delivery apps use tip money as a way to avoid paying the driver their full payments, as The New York Times recently found with DoorDash.

Setup your Red Card
DoorDash provides all its Dashers with a company credit card to be used solely for paying for deliveries at the merchant or restaurant. They are not for filling up at gas stations or for any other personal use.The bottom line is Doordash is a 100% legitimate company. There's no question about that. It's safe to use, and 100% safe to work for. Because you're just delivering, there's little-to-no risk or contact with others.
Even though Doordash does not have a uniform that dashers are required to wear, they do hand out red Doordash T-shirts to some people. As an independent contractor, you are not required to wear their T-Shirt, but some dashers prefer to wear the T-shirt.
In some cases, you may be offered multiple orders at once to maximize efficiency. These batches may happen from time to time, especially during peak hours.
Do I still get paid on DoorDash if I don't get an order? Typically, the answer is no. You are only paid an order that is completed to delivery. You may receive partial payment if the delivery couldn't be completed.
Unfortunately, no you can not request a specific DoorDasher. That is as a customer, you cannot request a specific dasher. As a partnered merchant you can rate review the drivers that pick up from your location. You can designate a driver as preferred.
DoorDash drivers get pop ups when the food is ready. So that might be why you comparatively say “so slow” , it can be the restaurant not accepting DoorDash orders until after it's paid. Going by what the servers say who uphold this policy it's because the *delivery service* card often declined.
Orders are given to dashers with the highest scores first, even if they're not the closest dasher, which is why you could be sitting in the parking lot of a restaurant, not getting pings, and see another dasher trot up to the restaurant you've been waiting at. That dasher has a higher core score than you.
Dashers see the guaranteed minimum for an order before they accept it, Sosnov said, but don't see the tip a customer has left until after the delivery is completed.
DoorDash pays out a base fee of $1 per order and then counts a customer's tip, if they left one, towards the guaranteed pay minimum to make sure the driver is earning what it thinks the driver should be making.
Base pay from DoorDash to Dashers ranges from $2-$10+ per delivery depending on the estimated duration, distance, and desirability of the order. Deliveries that are expected to take more time, that require Dashers to travel a longer distance, and that are less popular with Dashers have higher base pay.
Dashers get paid on a weekly basis for all deliveries completed between Monday - Sunday of the previous week (ending Sunday at midnight PST).
The Red Card is a credit card which Dashers use to pay for DoorDash orders when prompted by the app. The Dasher app may say “Pay with Red Card” or “Place Order”. Each Dasher receives a Red Card during orientation or with their Activation Kit. Read more about receiving your Activation Kit here.
