Is anyone picking up my Door Dash orders?
No Dashers are available to pick up your Door Dash order.
These are things you should know and do when faced with these situations.
Dashers Do Not Interest With The Order
The tip needs to be higher. Door Dash calculates the minimum cost for its contractors. It is usually 2 to 3 dollars.
It could be a time-waster for dashers, particularly if the order is received late or is too far away. The average tipping amount is 15-20% and 20% of your total bill. It will help you estimate how much tip to give to a Dasher to have them pick up your order.
It could also be due to distance. Dashers might not pick up your order if there is congestion or you are far from the restaurant. Remember that Dashers are paid by the hour and not per delivery.
No Dashers Are Available
Sometimes, there is no Dashesr available to pick up your order. It happens most often when orders are placed at unsociable hours or during peak times. These Dashers could be working on shift, or other charges may occupy them.
What happens to my Door Dash order if nobody picks it up?
If no one picks your Door Dash order, there are four solutions:
