I've worked for uber eats for about 2 1/2 years now. I was getting consistent orders on new years eve, but new years days and 3 days after that, low orders/no orders
@SavageBrit it was cool 2 years ago, now I'm just seeing a lot of low paying orders. I'm glad I got off the waitlist on shipt. I make more there than uber eats
@WonkaBiz nice! Unfortunately where I live at, it's beyond oversaturated with drivers. Only getting $2-$3 orders. If there's a very high order, it's a ghost order
They need to get rid of that scheduling and we can go out when we would like to. That’s what I don’t like. That’s the whole reason. I don’t like working a regular work.
I agree, uber is better at stacking, while DD will typically pay better for shop & pay orders (I've been getting a lot of restaurant > S&P > both to one customer on DD)
It depends on where you live. I’ve done Uber Eats in the Washington DC area for the past few years as a side hustle. I only ever do weekends or evening/nights. I’m Uber eats pro platinum. You don’t have to accept all orders, I usually reject anything that’s low cost, and I haven’t been penalized. Also at least in my area (since it’s very weathy) I usually make around 20-30$ a hr when incorporating gas costs. DoorDash has a lot more restrictions also and the order pickup process can be more annoying. Uber eats you just pull up to the place and get it and go, and if you provide timely service you get tipped well. I’ve never had any issues with Uber eats . Most ive made I think was about 170$ for a night of orders, (about 6 active hours) however if your ordering from Uber Eats, if you tip like 1$ no one will take your food
Any time a system is revamped or updated its rarely to benefit the driver etc. The whole point of the tier based status is to coax drivers into taking the terrible orders with hopes thinking they'll get all high paying ones down the road
@@91Liljunior I work out of DFW as well. Grapevine. If you're not multi apping with Uber Eats, i would suggest you start doing so. I am also having a lot of success lately with Grubhub. I would add that to your work also. Ever since they started, including free Grubhub memberships for Amazon Prime members the orders are becoming frequent.
@@91Liljunior I work in DFW as well. Grapevine. You need to add multi apping with Uber Eats as well as Grubhub, if you are not already doing so. Grubhub has really upped their game since they started partnership with Amazon. Prime members are now getting free Grubhub memberships.
@91Liljunior I work in the same market as you. I work out of Grapevine. I would strongly advise you to add Uber Eats and Grubhub to multi apping. I am having a lot of success with Grubhub as well since they started partnering with Amazon. They are now providing free Grubhub memberships to Amazon Prime members.
The Uber business model has failed in the beginning. It brought us food delivery by focusing on the customer and they stood there and absorbed profit DoorDash evolved because of how terrible Uber‘s business model is remember when it was almost 4 dollars minimum for an order I’ve seen two stacked orders for a total pay of $3.75 around here with like 12 miles on it. Uber is focused on themselves they disrupted they did not really innovate. They disrupted the industry and showed what could be done and didn’t even make a profit.
@@mariaarze5161you must live in a poor area. I’ve been doing uber eats in the Washington DC metro area and easily get 25-30$ a hr including gas. I usually will drive about 50-100 miles in a shift which with a fuel efficient car is only like 10$ in gas
I do Uber Eats and jumped my AR from 33 to 73 in a week. I ended up losing $5+ a hour and noticed after 50%AR I got incentive pay, which was $10-$15 extra with around 14 deliveries a shift. I also noticed that trip radars don't factor in to your AR and only Exclusive orders affect your AR. The thing is, only Uber Eats decides to up your AR when they want. I took 8 Exclusive orders straight and my AR didn't even go up. WTF. I can't find any information on what increases your AR. I thought AR only went up if it's the 1st exclusive you take and every one after while "on a delivery" didn't count but I still didn't get a increase 1st orders. After 2 days of cherry picking and not even great deliveries I am at 47%. I am tired of $2 offers and $4 for 20 and $8 for 30. I am in Michigan and most orders are .50 and mile
UE: those d*mn cancellations - I'm in the Dallas Fort Worth and I've noticed when it's hitting close to after normal business hours, and you accept an offer, and the restaurant is closed, it counts against you if you cancel (I'm sure this is across the board with everyone), but it's so stupid how this is marked against the driver if the restaurant is closed - so sometimes even if I accept the offer, I'll call to verify if they're open and check Google - if they're closed, I cancel the order and mark it 'Restaurant Closed' but sometimes you'll get several back-to-back orders like this and the crap still gets counted against you. It's crazy.
Made $744 off 5 days / 27 hours on Uber eats last week. Wanted to explore DD but have no reason to at the moment imo. Im in Atlanta and a platinum preferred member for reference.
Volume wise, I get more offers on DD than UE. I would say 70/65 percent DD to 30/35 percent Uber.. But I will say, I have better chance of getting a banger order on Uber than DD. With GH tossing one in here and there. My market is in KC..
I’ve noticed delivering with Uber eats that when it comes to the promotions for when they’re busy, they will adjust their fair price and make that lower so you think you’re getting extra pay, but you’re not
I really do not know what to think. I have noticed here someday's one App will be busy the other slow and so on. If Mike likes DD I may go back and try it. To me, it seems like there being too hard on people for not taking low orders here.I know that when I am out of our small town I get the low orders less. I'm glad for the snow storm so I can sit still and think about it. be safe out there on the snow storm people. For the most part here the sidewalks and porches are too icy for me right now.
DoorDash all the orders are ready Uber Eats they don’t care because Uber charges 30% DoorDash will make a deal for eight or 10% so the restaurant makes money and they want to give good service to DoorDash. That’s where you’re at Uber focus is more than the customer hiring a taxi for their burrito and it’s usually coldthat DoorDash food those customers get it. It’s hot. Everybody involved does better when they work with DoorDash Uber stands there and takes from everybody, especially people that don’t understand. The cash flow is not a margin or better yet a profit.
Mike, any idea when DoorDash might support Apple CarPlay, with some full functionality (I know they mentioned it but I’ve never seen it able to load as a CarPlay app), and also support for an iPad? Both of these I see are supported on the Uber side. I would just love to use DoorDash in the car on an iPad mini, and then when I’m out of the car and at a restaurant, or I’m dropping it off, be able to use my phone and they work together!!
December 2nd - December 9th on Uber eats I made $528 for 49 trips for 24 hours December 30th - January 5th on DD I made $543 for 65 trips for 17 hours. So in essence they are basically the same in pay. I drove more miles on the Uber app than I did on the DD app.
Uber email saying I can’t deliver due to my car. I called the customer service and he said it’s not because of the car. I’m like bro it literally says that. Got nowhere, I have a 06 Nissan Altima. I just stayed with doordash
My market is slow dd has more quality/quantity but I still can wait an hour for an offer, yesterday I was online for 5.5 hrs and 1 uber offer and it was trash 🗑
In my market, UberEats is NOT getting better. It's getting worse. Even worse, cherry picking as a strategy is becoming almost impossible now because if your AR drops below the local average, you get nothing but occasional Trip Radar offers.
Okay, I thought it was just me, but I live in the Dallas Fort Worth area, only use UE. Currently, my Acceptance Rate is at 0%, 100% Customer Rate, and 6% Cancellation Rate - only rates between $2-$5 lately.
Don’t cancel just don’t accept the order, I’ve been doing uber eats as a side hustle for a few years and I usually always decline the low orders and have never been penalized

Greenville, SC. One day, New Years night. DoorDash/Uber for 7 hours. $434.72. Probably could’ve made more if I got out earlier. Salute.

If you got Platinum and live in a large market imo Door Dash. But I do use both.
I’ve noticed delivering with Uber eats that when it comes to the promotions for when they’re busy, they will adjust their fair price and make that lower so you think you’re getting extra pay, but you’re not
Have you done any returns to the restaurant.I have an experience on that Mike

I had a restaurant here that closed I think he told me DD took 30%.
Hi Mike, I have On time or early! I cant wait for the new platform! 🙂 Happy New Year!

I didn’t work full time it’s basically part time
@@FastLaneLyfe there is no full time. It’s part time all the time.
As we get into 2025 and start seeing the economy finally turn around again, we'll start seeing a lot more order volume, as well as increased tips.
You will make the most $ if you do both.
Always Uber eats door dash is just too cheap Uber eats has less orders but higher paying for sure
Uber email saying I can’t deliver due to my car. I called the customer service and he said it’s not because of the car. I’m like bro it literally says that. Got nowhere, I have a 06 Nissan Altima. I just stayed with doordash
I think the best strategy is to use all the apps
Im able to schedule the day before from like a 7am to like 3am the next day mostly...but i usually schedule like 10am to 10pm.
Anybody know how to get back on the platform after being deactivate it from uber eats
So DoorDash wins the Golden Globe for best Gig App right 🤣
On time or early
My market is slow dd has more quality/quantity but I still can wait an hour for an offer, yesterday I was online for 5.5 hrs and 1 uber offer and it was trash 🗑
Same. RIP to the first month of the year for gig workers. It’s always the hardest. Tax season is around the corner though.
Im in alaska.. to me doordash is the best .. i dont hear much of uber eats
has anyone noticed the BS doordash is doing with acceptance rate. I took 16 orders in a row and my rate has not gone up at all.
But if you decline an order, your AR will drop immediately! Yep.. Math doesn't add up..
Use both at the same time. Try not to get banned.
I stopped driving for Uber Eats when they had the audacity to give me an exclusive trip for the grand total of $2.00 for a 15MILE DRIVE 😂.
You don’t gotta except it 😂
I only except high paying order. I am Uber eats diamond tho so
This is depressing

Uber eats will deactivate your account if your canceling rate goes above 20%
Don’t cancel just don’t accept the order, I’ve been doing uber eats as a side hustle for a few years and I usually always decline the low orders and have never been penalized
@a_goblue2023 i normally didn't cancel either, but. It just was around holiday time. A lot of restaurants were closed our close early

@ you just mark it as closed and it doesn’t mark it against you I think. I think it only marks it against you if you cancel for a non important reason
