Understanding the DoorDash Waitlist
To begin, DoorDash’s waitlist pops up whenever there are enough drivers in a specific area. It’s their way of making sure every driver has enough orders to make some good cash.
But if you’re eager to start dashing and earning, being on a waitlist can feel like a roadblock. Don’t worry; we’ve got some tips and tricks up our sleeve.
Strategies to Bypass the DoorDash Waitlist
First off, consider applying in a neighboring area if it’s not too far from you. Sometimes, the waitlist in one area is long, while nearby areas are in dire need of drivers.
Next, keep your application updated and check in with DoorDash regularly. Showing your continued interest can sometimes work in your favor when spots open up. And don’t forget, patience is a virtue. The waitlist doesn’t last forever, and spots do open up regularly!
