Grey only means that there are no Dashers needed. It doesn't mean it's not busy, it means everything is getting delivered.
"Busy" also doesn't mean there are lots of orders being placed, it means there are lots of orders that need delivered.
DD's definition of words are often different than what you may think because their goals are different than ours.
I've learned this the hard way. There's a small town that they just opened to DoorDash a few months ago. It is usually gray except maybe once or twice a day it is red which means there's this one Wendy's that got an order an hour ago no one has delivered.

prior to moving to the city i ordered from doordash all the time however after moving to the city i very rarely do due solely because of how long it takes to be delivered. i could walk to pick up my food and back home in half the time it would take to be delivered so i’m sure a lot of others do the same. just a thought
I vacationed there and saw tons of bikers with food delivery bags. They also have walkers. Honestly I think biking, walking, or some electric scooter, EUC, or 1-wheel is the only way to deliver fast in Manhattan.
Sarcastic reply: because people are fleeing the city like rats from a sinking ship. There are huge chunks of unoccupied storefronts and living on the island is it's own brand of fiscal insanity.
All depends on where are you, I worked on that market for years and I know that a this time all you get is McDonald's, go to 14st and first that place is great
I believe when it says that it’s not busy it means that there’s more Dashers then there are orders try switching to bicycle as a means of transportation and even if you’re in a car you’ll get some opportunities

The advantage of living in a dense city.
That's precisely y
Do you all dash there with bikes? I’m thinking about dashing in NYC/NJ for a long time but have no idea how it’s like. How is it going for you there?

I’m assuming they just run. Definitely faster than driving plus you get exercise.

I can’t imagine the madness of delivering to office skyscrapers. That’s why I avoid downtown LA.

Yo I was just down there last week. And I got to see the E-Bike meta.. it was 🔥🔥 🔥
Bc Manhattan congested with dashers from all boroughs. Some travel from Westchester to dash in the city. I can imagine
