A DoorDash driver has revealed how she's cracked the code to earning the most after discovering customers want one particular item.

Travel enthusiast, Amanda Solano, has spilled the beans on her top DoorDashing tips after turning to the delivery platform to help her make rent every month.

The Arizona-based TikToker has been diligently documenting her hustle, including how much she makes per day, how much she pays for gas and how long it takes her to earn enough money until she's ready to call it a day.

However, the woman who goes by @ourdisposablelife on the platform, documenting sweet lifestyle moments alongside her husband, Isaiah, has also revealed she discovered one secret hack to maximizing her time and effort.

In one video which has since gone viral, Amanda stated she had just 13 days until rent is due and jumped behind the wheel to start her shift driving across Phoenix as of 8am.

"DoorDash is my only income at the moment," she stated before explaining she was trying something new based on her followers' advice.

Starting her day, her first order saw her head to Black Rock Coffee Bar for one popular breakfast item.

After delivering the good stuff, Amanda commented: "That order was completed for $6.25... for only a coffee."

Her next shocking revelation came on her sixth order, which saw her drop off a Wendy's in a little over four miles in a matter of minutes.

"That order was completed for $12!" Amanda revealed. "That was only like 15 minutes of driving, not even that bad."

Throughout the day, the 27-year-old made several more trips to and from Black Rock Coffee Bar, which she was happy about as she could use the drive-thru - optimizing her earning time even more.

A double order from the coffeehouse then saw bank $8.50 towards her daily tally, which only took '20 ish minutes'.

When she wrapped up, Amanda revealed she had completed 12 orders, traversed more than 44 miles and earn almost $90 in the process.

At the end of the video, Amanda revelled in her new-found hack for early morning DoorDash shifts, stating: "Okay I feel like you guys were onto something because I made $89.15 in four and a half hours, so I think I'm going to try a shift and start at like 5am in the morning and see what happens."

The content creator further told UNILAD she's relying on DoorDash for the season until she can make enough through social media alone.

"Funny enough, the morning shifts are way more worth it compared to lunch or dinner!" she said, which all comes down to America's favorite early morning beverage.

"The amount of people who order coffee definitely outweigh how many people order lunch or dinner."

In a follow-up video to put her new theory to the test, Amanda started her shift at 6.30am and paid $10 in gas.

After completing 13 orders in four hours, she took home $102.75, which after gas leaves her with $92.75.

She said this worked out to 'just over $21 an hour', not bad considering minimum wage in the state only marginally increased to $14.70 in January this year.
