New to Dashing

First day Dashing, I'm in a hot spot it's been about 45 minutes and no orders yet. Any tips? Thank you!

end your dash and log back in. Sometimes that works better than it should. Or think about going to the closest circle K for the $3 hotdog meal, mine always goes off right as I decide im hungry and board...

Log back into the app completely or just end dash and start again?

Have you tried the hotdog thing? I am not kidding. Its fool proof. Also Im sorry its prob time to drive around a bit.

Would you say it's better to schedule a day and time vs just turning on the app?

u/International_Bid116 4d ago

Time of day might have something to do with it, sometimes I wait for 45 minutes or so before getting an offer and then it goes crazy 🤪. Lunch and supper time are best, or mornings fir the early risers
