If we never Tweet one another again, may I leave you with this: consider orders in $/delivery time, not $/mile. It's a better metric. Thank you, and God Bless.

Drivers! Please be extra careful tonight, particularly near your deliveries. Lots of kids and parents crossing streets in dark clothing and in costumes that might obscure vision. Safety first!! π

Takeaways after another six months away:
* Probably 21/25 were no-contact. Speeds up deliveries.
* No need for me to text customers with arrival. The app provides all that info.
* Late into the night just head towards McDβs and JITB and wait.

So DoorDash is telling me I can earn the same rate over 40 hours as I do in 5 hours? FURTHERMORE, even βhoursβ is only defined by the assignment to completion time, not waiting. Blatantly dishonest.

Even the notorious haters in the Facebook groups seemed to like #DasherDirect...which is sayin' something!

The driver in the article sounds a lot like a guy I know! Thanks to @TheRideshareGuy and staff for connecting me with @Preetika_Rana.

To their credit, execs addressed the mind boggling math head on wsj.com/articles/doordash-anβ¦
DoorDash COO @chrispa: This is a cost-intensive business that is low margin and scale driven
Uber Eatsβ chief @pierre_dimitri: You really need to optimize things to the cent

If you read the Facebook group posts about frustrating DD customers and then add Instacart-level complexity. OOF

As you Dash this weekend, remember this handy advice: Only accept $3 order if youβre already at the restaurant, and your customer is also at the restaurant.
Drive safely!

What is your #1 restaurant draft pick? (Not food, your favorite restaurant to pick up from).

The weekend I Dashed, the Chiliβs in Mountain View was excellent.

Chatter in the FB groups today about the new pay/estimated time readout. How cynical am I when my first thought is, βhow is this going to convince people to accept lower-paying orders?β

At the very least, Iβd be verrrrry interested to see how accurate their delivery estimations turn out.
