Is this DoorDash offer worth it?

What a Dasher gets

Every offer graded, per hour

DoorDash shows the guaranteed pay, the miles and a time. Buddy adds what DoorDash leaves out: what the miles cost you in gas and wear, and how long that restaurant usually holds a driver. The verdict is your hourly rate against the target you set, before you tap Accept.

Stacked orders, judged one by one; add-ons, with the run

On a DoorDash stack each order is its own job with its own pay. Buddy times each one from the counter to the door, so you can see which half of a double was worth it. An add-on offered mid-run ("+$3.75, +2 stops") is judged with the run it joins: the whole run before and after, one clock against the summed quotes.

Shopping orders

Buddy reads "Shop for N items" off the card, asks "Shopping at Target?" once you have been inside a while, keeps those minutes out of the store's wait, and shows shopping against ordinary pickups on the Money tab. Is shopping worth it? Per hour, per delivery, per mile, the tip.

Restaurant wait times

Buddy notices when you reach the counter and when you leave, and remembers. The next time an offer comes from that kitchen, its typical wait is on the verdict. The slow ones stop being a surprise.

A mileage log that counts every mile

DoorDash counts the miles on an order. The drive to the hotspot, the wait between orders and the drive home are business miles too. Buddy logs all of it with where and when, and the tax report adds the year up with a mileage log and the four quarterly payments.

Pay, right after the drop

DoorDash shows what an order paid, store by store, in the seconds after the handover. Screenshot that panel and the job closes in Buddy with the real pay on it, tips included. At the end of the dash, screenshot the earnings page if you like and Buddy checks every order against what it watched, and marks a cancelled order's pay as what it was: half.

A word to the customer

A green bubble by the customer's name writes "On my way" or a thank-you. Tap to copy, paste in the Dasher app.

Proof at the door

A photo and a signature, stamped with the time and where you stood. One page to send when a customer says it never came.

DoorDash or Uber Eats?

Drive both and Buddy puts them side by side: jobs, pay, tips and per hour, tonight and every month. Buddy for Uber Eats drivers.

Buddy Delivers is not affiliated with DoorDash. It reads screenshots of DoorDash's screens on your phone; it never signs in to your Dasher account.
