If you have a car that’s reliable it ca make you some money !! It’s using something that you own and it has very low Start up costs. Follow these tips and have successful dash!! Where you business hat? Folks



So folks now to the good part

 I have been dashing in Missouri for about  7 months I have made about  $329 dollars dashing over all.  Most dashes and delivery session  are profitable but you must keepIn mind  a few key things If you want to profit I average about 10/hr dashing overall and about 20/ active hour.
Thats not much but im just a  weekend at best. I do it for fun but i have picked up some things dashing and working at restaurants that might help so here it goes


1. Park near the  hot spot: 

the app says park close to the hotspot in your dasher app to get the most dashes


2. write down you mileage and share it with the tax preparer.  

Keep track of all the expenses this will help later on when it comes tax time and will defer some taxes .
Door dash I come will be submitted to the irs . And you will get a copy from door dash you  need  to claim your income


 Keep you dash card handy, save time.  my customers rate me depending on how quick and accurate i am. Being late cuts into your rating.. and more time you spend locating your card just eats up to much time

3. Get your self a Back up red card:

 new ones are available at the dasher store and don’t cost a thing.

4. Watch the gas gauge get gas before you dash

 Trust me ! running out of gas while on a job is embarrassing and can hurt your dasher score . score
I ran out of gas on a dash..keep an eye on you gas gauge. And don’t push your luck .  Been there



5.  Check the bags for  accuracy folks  

. Make sure the customer gets what they paid for.  Good   reviews are in your future

6.  get a bigger bag:  

the dasher bag is  a little small and I have trouble fitting things in the bag for multinitem Orders i found  bag at Walmart use a second bag to take larger orders.  you can find larger bags or cold shopping bags at walmart  they are reusable and larger than the standard dasher bag . And will hold bigger items I got  mine for 10.00 at Walmart .

7. Don't go into debit to dash:

In Branson where i  dashing isnt busy enough to be full time.  Dont want to buy a car just to dash or buy a new car to dash.. you wont be getting that money back  That car payment will eat into the profits..if its reliable just use the car you have.

8. Fully charged phone!

      Before or charge the phone over night To have plenty of dash time

9. Write down expenses and you can claim

     Them on  your taxes   time rolls around next year door dash sends a 1099 at the end of the year

10.  Dashing on rainy days .. Dash when its wet and miserable.

I find it gets busier on rainy days i chalk it up to no one wants to get out and go to eat when its raining and pouring.  But you do! dashing at these time can mean more orders even on typically slower day..
