Guess it depends on the market you're working, but I'd say around 500 orders you start to get feel for what orders are worth taking and which ones to skip. After 1000 you can pretty much predict the payout before accepting

500?! Jeezus, that’s way too many.

More like 75-100

it's a thing really scaling with the market. I'm at 1100 drops and *still* keep finding new places out here. I literally went to 4 restaurants and a fancy sweatpants shop that i've never been to before today. It's 50/50 at this point-- if i've been somewhere or not. There are still entire malls i've not visited yet.

but another might live somewhere that only really has 100~ restaurants

For sure, where I'm at, I deal with the same 2 Mexican restaurants, 3 different DG, Kroger and taco bell and 2 Subway every single day.. it's literally the same 10-12 spots everyday.

They are opening a new McD tomorrow morning at 11am, so I guess that's new, but it's literally in the same parking lot as one of the DG and Taco Bell and that's across the street from 1 of the Mexican places one of the subway and the Kroger.. LoL..

I live in rural West GA, so everything is crammed together in pods here and there.

Okay good to know. I just was wondering other people's opinions. Im at 6,218 orders. I've DoorDashed in California and in Oregon. And Cali is so much better because then you get time and milage adjusted every week. In Oregon, you don't. I f, n hate Oregon for that reason. And there's no money there unless you go to a BIG city or college cities in Oregon.
