Become a DoorDash driver: How to make money as a Dasher

Sign up for DoorDash

Registering on DoorDash is one of the easiest among the different food delivery platforms in addition to having the benefit of not requiring your own car to work. Although it is necessary to meet certain requirements. For example, you will need to be of legal age and provide a Social Security number. You will also have to attend a training session where you will be given all the information you need to successfully deliver orders.

Be strategic with the orders you accept

Working at DoorDash means being available for all types of deliveries, from the smallest to the largest. However, this does not mean that you have to accept those that do not pay what you want. Before accepting an order, check that the number of items and the distance you will need to drive are worth it.

Work at times of high demand

The faster you can move, the more time you have available to make a greater number of deliveries. Having an app that gives you traffic updates could make the difference in whether you can pay your bills with your DoorDash income. Some DoorDash drivers only accept orders when a high demand period kicks in, and while this strategy might work, it’s best to select your deliveries so you’re not tied to a tight timeframe.

Work in high-demand areas

One of the best strategies you can implement is to work as a DoorDash driver in busy areas or where the app is in high demand. Thus, you can earn more money by making fewer deliveries. Within the areas of greatest demand, you will be able to find optimal zones for delivery with DoorDash and, you will not have to spend so much money on gas to complete your trips.

Be polite

Kindness can be the difference in your performance at DoorDash. Good communication with your customers and being friendly will make you stand out from the competition. And, why not? Make more and more customers choose you. Also, another benefit of building a friendly relationship with your customers is that they will be able to write positive reviews on the DoorDash app to help more potential customers get to know you.

Provide optimal service

Optimal service will stand out not only for the speed with which you can carry out your work as a Dasher, but also for your punctuality, cleanliness and efficiency as a delivery person. This means strategically selecting the orders and taking care of the way in which you pack, order and deposit the purchase at its final destination. If one of your deliveries arrives in poor condition, it could lead to negative reviews and prevent more people from accessing your services.
