It may sit for a while. We can't see notes before accepting it, unless you're willing to gamble on penalizing yourself with their 'Completion Rating' by accepting to read notes then 'reassigning' if there's no guarantee of higher pay. The 'Completion Rating' affects your ability to either schedule at 3pm, 6 days in advance or be a 'Top Dasher' that allows you to go on the clock any time you want. In smaller markets like mine, if I can't schedule at 3pm or be 'Top Dasher', I'm shit out of luck.
I personally don't accept any offer below about $8 total. On average I see Doordash pay $3 'Base Pay.' I'm just not willing to gamble because there are a ton of people who are more than happy to not tip either out of ignorance or willfully being a cheap ass.
- pgrote 7y agoThank you for your reply! What should I do if I want to maximize what the driver receives? My typical tip was to ensure the driver was receiving at least 25% of my order or $15, whichever is higher. Our orders are typically in the $50-$100 range since we use it primarily for dinner.
- ginknocab 7y agoTip $5.50(long story, they hide almost any amount over $8.50) before delivery then either tip cash or adjust the tip after. I only say adjust after because DD will usually low ball us with less of a base pay($2 instead of $3) if the tip is higher. Cash is obviously better since it's not reported on our 1099.
