Dashers today discovered that they have to agree to the new updated Doordash Independent Contractor Agreement if they want to dash. What has changed on the updated Doordash Independent Contractor Agreement? Changes in the agreement appear to be geared towards strengthening their case in the use of independent contractors, making mass arbitration more difficult, and …
Is it true, do Doordash Dashers really make only $1.45 per hour on average? No. You’ve probably seen the headlines out there that say it is true. The headlines don’t tell the whole story. Yes, there was a study. But the study doesn’t say Dashers are only getting $1.45 per hour from their work. It …
Now that the new Doordash pay model is testing, people are asking, is it good or bad? I’ve been in one of the test groups for two weeks now, and so far my answer to the question: Yes. There’s good and there’s bad. In the end, is the glass half full or half empty? Doordash …
Let’s talk about a history of getting paid by Doordash. I have planned doing an epsiode on each of the four main food delivery services, on Postmates, Grubhub, Doordash and Uber Eats. We already had episodes on Grubhub and Postmates. My intention was to do Doordash next, however that is on hold. I wanted to …
I read through the email announcing the new Doordash pay model, and I have to say, I’m not sure it’s going to be much of a change. Doordash announced a new pay structure on August 22, saying they would roll it out ‘next month’ (September). Of course, September is here, and it shouldn’t surprise anyone …
Has the New Doordash Pay Model Started Yet? I mean, it’s September, right? No. It hasn’t happened. Don’t expect it to for a few weeks. In the August 22 email announcing details for the new Doordash pay model, Tony Xu simply stated the model would roll out ‘next month.’ There was no date promised, other …
Are you getting a Doordash paycheck each week? I’m sure you already understand this part, that you aren’t an employee with Doordash, so that means you won’t be getting a paycheck from Doordash. As an independent contractor, they simply drop your earnings into your bank each week through Direct Deposit. The thing that is really, …
Does Doordash Pay Overtime? Note: This is part of a series of articles that addresses common questions that get asked about various delivery platforms in the gig economy. The short and fast answer is, no. Understand that as a driver for Doordash, you are an independent contractor and not an employee. Therefore, employee guarantees like …
What is going on with the Doordash app? The past few days, there’s been a lot of buzz about Doordash that has nothing to do with their pay model and the supposed upcoming change. The Dasher app has been having some major issues. Dozens of drivers have reported in forums that they were deactivated. And …
Over the next several days or several weeks, Doordash Dashers will be wondering what the new pay model is going to look like. You could say it ranges between anticipation and dread, depending on who you talk to. I watched one Youtuber just giddy about the fact that it’s changing, though he seems to forget …
Dashers recently received an email from Tony Xu announcing that a new pay model was going to roll out. The Doordash pay model has been a source of controversy for awhile. There have been accusations pretty much from the day it was rolled out that they were stealing tips. I published this awhile back, that …
Doordash sent an email out to their Dashers yesterday with information about new improvements they are providing for their platform. If you have received any of the emails in the past from Grubhub and Postmates about how they were “improving” your pay (which translated, meant improvements for them, not us), it’s pretty natural to ask, …
For the longest time, conventional wisdom was that Uber Eats would be the one to eventually knock Grubhub off their perch as market share leader in the food delivery business, with Doordash and Postmates seemingly left behind to battle for scraps. And yet recent reports like this one and this one show Doordash taking over …
No. No, Doordash isn’t stealing your tips. At least not technically. But you can’t blame drivers for getting that impression. Editor’s Note: This article was written during Doordash’s previous pay model so some things will seem different. Some things haven’t changed – I’ll talk about what’s changed at the end of the article. The Doordash …
