🚨 0 Tips Are Killing Our Earnings. Less Orders Are Hurting Us All. It’s Time To Talk About It. 🚨
More and more DoorDash customers are leaving $0 tips while expecting drivers to deliver their food, fight traffic, wait in long restaurant lines, and put wear and tear on their vehicles.
At the same time, many Dashers are noticing a decline in available orders, longer wait times between deliveries, and lower earnings per hour. For many drivers, what used to be a profitable side hustle is becoming increasingly difficult to justify.
📉 What We’re Seeing:
• More $0 tip orders
• Fewer orders per hour
• Increased wait times
• Higher fuel and vehicle costs
• Lower overall earnings
💬 What Do You Think Should Be Done?
Should customers be educated more about how drivers are paid?
Should DoorDash increase base pay?
Should drivers continue declining low and no-tip orders?
Should there be more transparency about driver compensation?
Every Dasher has a different perspective, and every market is different. Let’s hear your thoughts.
