Frequently asked questions about this gig
Your earnings depend on how many deliveries you make. The more orders you complete, the more you get paid. On each order, your earnings are made up of the delivery fee and tip. The fee will depend on the time it takes, driving distance and desirability of the order and will not change regardless of the customer's tip amount. The tips you earn from customers go 100% to you. You can also be eligible to earn bonuses, which are usually given during busy hours or if you meet certain delivery goals within a given period of time.
You get paid every week for all deliveries completed between Monday-Sunday from the previous week. Direct deposit into your bank account typically takes 2 days. DoorDash also offers Fast Pay, where for a small fee of $1.99 you can cash out your earnings daily.
