How to Get DoorDash Orders When It’s Not Busy
Last updated
Wondering how to snag some DoorDash orders during those quieter times? Let’s dive right into tips and tricks to keep you busy, even when it seems like everything’s slowing down.
So, you’re a DoorDash driver looking to maximize your earnings, but you’ve hit a slow patch? No worries, we’ve got you covered with ways to get more DoorDash orders, even during off-peak hours.
Stay Active and Ready
The key to getting more orders when it’s not busy is staying logged in and ready. DoorDash tends to prioritize active drivers who are close to restaurant hotspots. So, make sure your app is on and you’re in an area with lots of restaurants.
Another tip is to schedule your dashes in advance. DoorDash allows drivers to plan their schedules. This means you can grab slots during predicted busy times, but also consider less popular times when competition among drivers might be lower.
Use the Hotspot Feature
DoorDash’s app has a neat feature called ‘Hotspots’. These are areas with high demand for orders. By heading towards these zones, you increase your chances of getting a ping. Keep an eye on the app for updates on these busy areas, especially during traditionally slow times.
Remember, hotspots change based on real-time demand. So, if one area isn’t working for you, don’t be afraid to switch locations. Mobility is your friend when orders are sparse.
