DoorDash to offer hourly wage option for delivery drivers

DoorDash announced a number of updates to its platform, including the ability for delivery drivers to choose between two distinct ways to earn: Earn by Time and Earn Per Offer. Earn by Time is a whole new way for Dashers to earn. From the moment they accept an offer until it’s completed, Dashers will earn a guaranteed hourly minimum rate plus 100% of tips on top, the company said. Earn Per Offer is for Dashers who prefer the existing earnings mode that they’ve come to know and love, but with more variety than ever before in the types of tasks they can complete on the platform – all with a more efficient, streamlined suggested route. When a Dasher earns per offer, they’ll be shown upfront the guaranteed minimum amount they can expect to make on that offer – and as always, Dashers keep 100% of tips. At the start of every dash where Earn by Time is available, Dashers can choose which earning mode they want to use and at any time, they can end their dash and start a new one in a different mode when available. With these two earning modes, Dashers today have unprecedented choice, flexibility, and control in how they dash, the company said.
