If you’ve just started delivering with DoorDash, you might have come across something in the app called Cash on Delivery (COD) and wondered what it means. Don’t worry. I’ve been dashing for years now, and I’ve seen just about every type of order you can imagine. Let me walk you through what COD is, how…
If you’ve been doing Doordash for a while, you probably know the struggle of trying to deliver an order when the GPS says “You’ve arrived,” but you’re standing in front of a fence, an empty lot, or a building with no numbers in sight. Worse? You try calling or texting the customer, and you get…
If you’ve been delivering for a bit, you’ve probably come across Redcard orders, you know, those grocery or shop-and-deliver orders where you pick up the items, head to the checkout, and then pay using the Redcard Doordash gave you. Most of the time, these orders go smooth. I shop, line up at the register, swipe…
One of the most common issues I’ve run into over my years dashing is this: you’ve already dropped off the food, but the app will not let you complete the delivery. It’s stuck. It keeps showing that you’re still on the delivery step, even though the food is already on the customer’s porch or in…
Let me walk you through something that happens more often than we’d like.

Let’s talk about something that we all hope never happens, but sometimes, it just does: your car suddenly stops, or you get a flat tire while you’re in the middle of a Doordash delivery. I know, it’s stressful. You’re already on the road, food in the car, and your goal is to make a smooth…
Let’s talk about one of those moments that we all run into sooner or later: the order gets canceled after you arrive at the store, but you don’t receive your half pay. Now, if you’re new to dashing, you might be wondering,“Wait, what’s half pay?” Well, when an order gets canceled after you arrive at…
The world of food delivery is fast-paced, a bit unpredictable, and full of surprises. One of those surprises you’ll run into sooner or later is this: you arrive at the restaurant, and the staff tells you that an item or worse, the whole order is unavailable. So now what? If you’re like me when I…
You arrive at the restaurant, check the order on your app, walk inside, and then boom – the cashier looks at you and says, “Sorry, we’re not accepting DoorDash orders right now.” That moment can be confusing and frustrating. You probably think, “Wait, what? But it’s already assigned to me.” I get it. I’ve been…
