I really enjoy driving for UberEATs, but I didn't have a clue what I was getting into when I started. This video is intended to give an overview of the pros & cons of deliveries with Uber. PLEASE let me know if you have any questions in the comments. I will be sure to answer each one!!
UPDATE:
UberEats has now added a tipping feature! Customers can now tip their drivers directly through the app.

@MoyerOfficial No Problem! Favorite = #6 Learning Your City. A lot of places that I never would have encountered without the driving gig!
uber eat takes 35%. fuh i feel like 25% for the uber driver is a lot already.
Way too much free time
The WORST thing about Uber Eats is McDonalds! I am a late night driver and McD is usually the only request I get. It's a waste of my time and money because I have to go thru the drive thru and WAIT. Tonight I waited 25 minutes for one meal / no tip because of the long wait for the food I suspect. I'm over it...NO MORE LATE NIGHT DELIVERIES...FIND ANOTHER CLOWN McD
Just ordered for the first time today. The guy was quick and super nice so I gave him a 5 dollar tip just because of how quick he was. I have food delivered to me often and a lot of the times they're slow but this guy earned his money. Good video!
@RedTeamReview - Thanks for that! Us drivers really appreciate the kind gesture!
maybe he got lucky with the green lights lol
RedTeamReview give yourself a pat for giving $5 . Dumb shit
@@jobdoneright5934 that's actually alot for a Uber eats worker. He's a nice dude

I cleared 3k last month doing only ubereats. Im in Dallas. Sending a pre typed message when you pick up the food to the customers works too(a lot of people appreciate it because most drivers dont ever try and make contact they just take forever trying to find the place). Something along the lines of "Hey just letting you know i just got your food and ill let you know when im close so you can meet me outside!" 90% of people will have no problem coming to meet you. People know beforehand whether theyre gonna tip you or not so I don't waste my time finding an apt in a complex. All that time will add up and subtract significantly from your earnings. If they don't answer, hit the timer and when the timer is done, end and onto the next. Uber will have your back if the customer says it was not delivered but you attempted to make contact and stayed for the 5 minutes.
Jose Ramos Great advice!! I have wasted a lot of time searching for buildings, apartment units, etc. May have to try this method out! 👍👍
epcotcenter82 If the customer cancels the order after you've picked it up, or if they don't receive the order (dont answer the door or not answering the phone) then you just keep the food for yourself. I'm not totally sure how the payment works out for that. I think in most areas you just get a $5 credit instead of the full trip amount. I only had that happen once though in hundreds of deliveries. Probably not something to worry about. Hope this helps!!
epcotcenter82 You know it! Good luck out there. Let me know if you have any questions once you get started. Happy to help 👍👍
epcotcenter82 try and call them. If they dont answer, go back to the uber app and right above confirm drop off you should see "soandso didnt answer?". Hit that, itll start a 5 minute timer and that's all you have to wait. They dont show up by the 5 minutes, dont END the trip, CANCEL the trip because then they cant give you a thumbs down. And then yeah the food is yours. My lunch today was a grandys order somebody didnt pick up for.
@@raym0s Wish I knew to hit cancel on one of my deliveries. I just started last week and stood around trying to contact the customer for 15 minutes. I hit 'delivered', left, and called phone support to let them know. I saw a bad rating the next day. :T
Honestly, with something like this, the pros outweigh the cons due to the simplicity of it. Easiest money I have made in my life.
I agree, I love it! I've never been more satisfied with a job.

I was thinking about driving uber eats what would you say the estimate of earrings every week .. example 50$-100$
TyRedChuckers It really depends on the amount of hours you drive. But based on my driving, it amounts to around $12-$15 an hour. They just recently added tipping for UberEats so that should add a little extra $$.
MoyerOfficial That's not bad at all for doing it part time!!. I drive Uber as well and work at home so I think I'm gonna start this soon. Thanks for the info!
Fullcollapse1 Nice! No problem, best of luck out there!
I just started ubereats this week! Done it 3 days and so far I'm averaging $10 to $11 an hr. I'm excited for next week because there will be promotions of 1.1x- 1.5x but I'm not sure.. what does that mean?!...🤔 Thanks!
I can’t imagine not tipping a delivery driver. Every time I order from a pizza place or a delivery service, I always tip 10-15% so surprised to hear that tips aren’t that common.
A lot of people believe tipping is unncessary when in reality waiters and drivers dont make all that much
Great video and you are absolutely right about delivering to an apartment complex. Just started eats and it is cool. Oh btw I drive x and eats at the same time. One way to promote eats to customer when they smell food in your car. To get rid 90% for the smell I open all the windows and turn the AC to the highest level for a minute.
I always tip my uber eats driver. Especially if the restaurant is really close and the fee is lower. I pass it on to the driver.
Respect
Tips are meant to be used as a reward for service that is above and beyond, not as a standard inclusion in the price of whatever you are paying for
Why do americans not understand how tips are meant to be used???
@@mwbgaming28 Don't pigeonhole yourself.. I am Canadian...
@@scottalderson8673 what are you talking about
@@mwbgaming28 the key word is "Canadian" eh
I never deliver at rush hours 4 to 6pm. Lunches are ok, from 6 to 9 during summer is good plus stays light out.
First off...great video. Thank you very much. I signed up for UberEats to supplement my income (help pay my kids tuition), and used this video as a tutorial before making my first run.
I'm delivering just south of Portland, OR.
First batch of deliveries today...ended up with 7 stops and just over $70 ... tips were included on four of my stops. That included a big one from my first delivery which ended up being a sizable business lunch.
I agree, delivering to apartments or business complexes was definitely the most difficult. Finding your way through those maze of numbers can be difficult often times even if you have solid instructions. I had trouble on stop number two finding a business in the middle of a drab complex where everything looked the same. Eventually found the lady who had come out to the curb to search me out. Explained it was my first day and she left me with kind words, a smile and a tip that at least matched what she must have spent on food.
I did two rounds ... one during lunch hour which will be my most typical time, then another round in the evening to get some more practice. Finding apartments after dark is ten-fold difficult :)
A couple questions...
Is there any way of knowing your final destination before accepting an order?
I found that near the end of my window, I wanted to work my way closer to home, but I couldn't find anyway to know the final destination, so a couple times I got pulled in the complete opposite direction ... once by a long shot.
Any tips for cell phones? Sun glare was killing me on my navigation during lunch hour and my phone ran out of juice literally as I parked my car to make my final delivery of the night.
thanks much
Cool video. I just started last week. So far so good
David McBenttes how has it been for this past month now?
Thanks so much, I signed up with your code. I also deliver around Marietta/Ksaw/Atl!
sour lulofruit Awesome!!! Good luck out there! 👍👍👍
One thing that helps with the not enough information from the customer con is to call/text the customer once you pick up the food from the restaurant. That way, if there is any information you'll need to complete the delivery like a gate code or apartment number, you can have it ahead of time if the information isn't already in the app.
Thank u for posting this video. I've been driving through for about a year now and I learned some things that I didn't know simply by watching your video
Delise Ingram Awesome! Glad I could help 👍
I love Uber eats .I work for them Full time .great money
Bruh I got a door dash ad on an Uber Eats video💀
😂😂😂
Great video. I’m somewhat new to the Atlanta area, and have been trying to decide if I should drive for uber eats or not - greatly appreciate that you were straight to the point!
Thanks you for taking the time to make this Vid. Awesome vid! I just signed up...the Bike Version.
nice job...very informative!
I knew from the background that you were in ATL lol. I'm waiting on my approval now
I offer a great deal of respect to you for delivering in the ATL as well as the Marietta area where I'm pretty sure the term " Hurry up and Wait " began on US 75 !
One more tip I've picked up six weeks in.
Before you start your shift, give yourself a set time when you will hit the 'Go Offline' button and quit for the day.
I've found it far too tempting to catch that one last delivery that will hopefully get me a bit closer to home only to get sent completely the opposite direction and getting left with a long drive home to end the night.
Twice this week, I've lucked out and finished with deliveries within a mile or two of my home, but three other times I tried to sneak in that extra stop late in my shift and ended up with long drives home, getting back a good half-hour after I had hoped.
Portland, OR delivery here. In my experience Thai food, Teriyaki and Chinese food are the biggest wildcards.
McDonalds, sub shops and your chain sit-down spots (Denny's, etc) tend to be mostly close deliveries.
Five Guys is the wildcard. Probably 60-40 long deliveries. Had a customer explain that there was a promotion going on, so he selected the Five Guys that was 20 minutes away instead of the one that was half as far from his place.
Always seems strange to me when I get a $12-$14 delivery to bring a plate of noodles across the city.
I don't mind a longer trip now and again, but prefer quick hitters. More trips = more tips.
Parking and traffic congestion can be mitigated by using an electric bike (I bet I can get through the city in rush hour on my bike before you can in your car)
Started a week ago. First night was a nightmare. lol. I do better in my township since I'm familiar with area, parking is great, etc. Instant pay means I don't have to go into my bank account every day for stuff like milk, lunch money for my kid, etc., and I love the flexibility. I usually startxmy day by picking up one on my way to my full time job. That's my lunch money for the day. lol. Then in the evening I drive for 2-3 hours, maybe stop home for a bit, maybe go back out if I feel like it. Run my quick errands in between pick ups.
Samantha Hawkins Nice 🤩🤩🙌🏽🙌🏽
helps you learn navigating the city was a big one for me. I learned so many connecting roads that made normal daily driving so much easier.
Same for me! It's crazy how quickly you can get familiar.
Yea ive been living in my city for a very long time and i went down roads i never knew existed lol
I’m 45 mins south of atl so I’m really glad I clicked on this video.
Well I kinda see that I will be having a lot of dinners from people not picking up their orders I think I can do eats cause I will be doing all the eating
I do that now. Different food each day
I didn't know that Sergio Ramos had a side kick job. :)

Dude love this video. I actually live in Marietta and was really thinking about trying driving for eats. Thanks for the vid
Nice video, very informative for those who are thinking to try uber eats delivery like me. Btw, I like your shirt. YNWA!
“Nothing to see here, man. I’m just recording a video for UA-cam..” dude, I know the pain. This was pretty funny

Yo good vid man I just wanted to say thanks for wearing your seatbelt
Jim Anderson hahaha thanks for noticing. ALWAYS wearing that seatbelt. Buckles or knuckles!!
Safety first, then teamwork
Jim Anderson I like the way you operate 👌
Wear shoes in the house
Good video, thanks for creating and sharing. Just started out in the Charleston, SC market, you got have great points.
Also a good tip, save the Uber Driver/Eats customer number in your phone. My first delivery - know the restaurant, easy pickup, but somehow from pickup to heading to guest, it got screwy and would only give me the restaurants address and number. had to go back to restaurant + call in too, she gave me the customer support number and i was able to get in touch with support to get the address (once I had picked up the delivery, the address no longer showed up at the restaurant so they were just as clueless as I was where this was going). Client was very nice and understanding and still gave me a very nice sized tip!
Great Video! My video was recommended on this video and that’s how I found your channel! I wish you much success! 🔥🔥🔥
In Woodstock!
You can't get instant pay if you lease through X-change, according to Uber and X-change, for reasons they can't explain.
I’m from ATL. And I am waiting for the app to accept my documents. 🙏 I’m sooo excited to try this. 😃
This is a great informative video!!! Thanks man! New subbie 🥰

Thank you for this. Good details without talking too much. Just straight to the point.
Brittiany Hightower Good to hear! That's what I was going for. Thanks
Thanks for sharing your code and your pros and cons. Signing up now for the Las Vegas area. :)
Personally, I prefer UberEats lately over Postmates just because the delivery rate is much lower and fair. When the delivery rate is lower I feel more inclined to give a better tip.
I prefer Uber Eats over Doordash or POSTMATES.
The biggest con for small business owners is that they charge 30% per order!
Great video! I do Uber Eats occasionally, but I make more than double with Grubhub usually, since people do tip!
dude this video was so helpful, thank you!
My wife has been doing Doordash for over a year now. She is all signed up for Uber Eats but is concerned about whether or not it has any strange quirks to its system. Her concern is based upon when she tried out for Postmates and their odd process (personally unable to define what the oddity was / is). I see it as fairly straight forward. Especially as there is no need to make the purchase for the customer on an Uber Eats CC.
Do you know if a couple can use the same vehicle to drive for Uber Eats? I am wanting to start up on weekends but don't have a qualifying vehicle beyond the one my wife uses.
Thanks - good / great video
I personally think Uber Eats deliveries are pretty straight forward as well. Especially not having to pay for orders, that's huge. All processed directly through the app. So you just navigate to and from restaurants and customers' homes. As for driving on the same vehicle, I am fairly sure you would both need to be "signed up" and approved on the vehicle individually. That may be something to call Uber Eats support about and ask them, as I haven't encountered that before. You can call a support number through the HELP section on the Uber Driver App and they may know. The other option is to find your local Uber office and ask in person. You can find that location by searching "Uber Greenlight Hub" and your city/state. Hope this helps! Let me know if any other questions come up.
Shoutout to Kennesaw! 😂👌🏾
Danielle Burnett 👌👌 Like my second home haha
I use to drive for regular Uber. I started doing Uber Eats this past week and like it so much more. The only downside is less tips. But at least I don’t have to deal with them as much...
Thanks for the info, it's appreciated!
they just added "tips" in the chicago area, i've had one customer, a wise ass, "got change for $100?", after that, i've had change for $100! the tips is a good thing and a bad thing, bad, maybe Uber reports the tips to the IRS. i was driving for uber until 2 months ago, my car overheated. i had it "fixed" at a mercedes dealer, it's still behaving the same, felt like i got a $900 car wash. first weeks i drove for uber eats i was making almost $600 a week, they added McD's and my income dropped 50%, you drive 3-6 miles to McDs and wait 10 minutes to drive one mile to deliver $5! McD's will KILL uber eats, McD's don't tip! and it's usually a mile or less.
mr bad example Wow that's some bad luck. Yeah I agree, there are a few McD's in my area and it is always a long wait and never more than 2 mile delivery. Hate it
well i got a "regular job" and start wednesday, it's a "temp" position in a warehouse, 3-6 months, then after that's over, 6 months of unemployment :) i'll probably get a new car in 2 months if the job holds up, but if Uber starts doing burger king, they are done! (i had some KFC's as well)
I live in Charlotte if someone asks if I have change for $100, ill loose whatever money I had, my Phone, and my Car.
I work for Postmates and just signed up for UE. When you get a call for Postmates, it shows you the name and location of the restaurant so you can skip whatever you don’t want to deliver. I’ve found that burgers and tacos such as McDs, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell will usually not get you a tip. I only do burgers and tacos after everything else is closed. One time I cancelled a McDonalds order because I took a sneak peek at the order and found out it was for three dollar burgers! 😂😂
@@mrbadx19 Yeah, I really hate Mc Donalds. I usually just cancel once I see Mc Donalds pop up. I try to stay away from areas where I know there will be a Mc Donalds order. I took one for the hell of it last night. Took me 10 minutes to drive to the McDonalds location. When I got there, it was obviously not open so I cancelled and called phone support. Spent another 10 minutes telling them what happened and got just $3 for wasting my time. McDonalds suck. They need to pay drivers 3x the amount for that crap.
You ever deliver to houses with a "domestic dispute" in progress?
Lol... I have..... yeesh...
escapementalprison Wow. Haha nope I haven't had the privilege yet
Did they pay for the food? 😁
escapementalprison had a mostly nekked lady come to door. Avert eyes..."your order ma'am" keep looking straight ahead, oh god please take these tacos and close the door tyvm haha
@prancer1000 amen
LOL
im just going to start and this video was very helpful thsnk you
Thank you!! Been thinking about doing UberEats and this helped me lots :)
Good to hear!!
pros: money
cons: work
😂😂
I hate driving downtown or buckhead because its hard to find parking
slapto I know! Can be a pain. Sometimes I can get away with leaving my hazard lights on if it's just a few minutes, but geez what a hassle
You did a great way of explaining it, nice video!
As far as tips go, I've made two deliveries in 10 days and received tips on 7 of them. Although he is spot on about the wealthy not tipping. My longest trip last night sent me about 20 minutes into the area's swanky neighborhood and it was my only trip of the night that came without tip. I remember picking up the order, seeing where I was going and letting out a groan knowing a long wasted trip was likely ahead.
Rich people think tips are only for fancy sit down restaurants. I don't know where this mentality came from? They have to know we are not provided a vehicle thru the company and we have to pay for our own gas unlike FedEx or USPS drivers.
Thinking of doing Ubereats, but don’t want my car smelling like all kinds of foods! 🙄
Get a charcoal odor eliminator bag and air fresheners.
I order uber eats 3 o'clock morning late night munchies they come in clutch lol
First day driving...I've found the person they attach to you for text help to be moderately helpful, but using the "Get Support" button while out on deliveries is a waste of time.
Here I'll take care of it for you "Can you restart the app?" "Did you do that?" "Okay, can you restart your phone?"
That's the extent of the trouble shooting, which got me nowhere. I eventually figured out myself that I had not clicked one of the buttons on the app that I needed to proceed with the delivery. Simple stuff, but I was left to sort it out on my own in the middle of a delivery. Luckily, the customer at the end of the route was understanding and generous.
I also live in the north Atlanta area, I'm about to sign up, and have some extra saving money. Thanks bro helped a lot and very informational!
Good to hear! Let me know if you run into any issues, I'm happy to help out
What does UberEats charge the customer vs what they pay the driver?
And why does no-one tip the UberEats Driver? When I delivered pizzas you might get 3 or 4 'stiffs' on about 30 deliveries.. I've taken 40 stops for Uber Eats and only 2 people have tipped. Do the customers think we get the total amount of what they are charged or what?
Customers can tip you in the app, I get tips quite a lot. I actually get cash tips sometimes as well. I don't expect them though, but it's nice when it happens.
this video is so helpful! I signed up a couple weeks ago however, I just now started driving for uber eats and love it! I wish I saw your referral code before I signed up though. Do you think I could still use your code even though I've done some trips already?
update: just emailed uber and they applied your code to my account! thanks for helping me make extra cash & hope you get some dough too 👐👌👌👌
Mallisha Awesome! Glad you are liking it so far. And I didn't know you could add a referral code afterwards, so thanks for letting me know! You rock
I just signed up as well but I am still waiting for approval. How do I contact them with your code?
Anita Frey I'm not entirely sure, other than emailing Uber support. I think you should be able to go into the Uber Driver app, go to the Help tab, then select Accounts and Payments, and then Referrals. You should be able to enter my code retroactively there! Message me if they need any other info. Name, phone # etc. Good luck!
This perfect for me since I live in Atl thanks
I gave the guy in Atlanta a tip of 20% in cash while I was there at a convention. He seemed pleased. My meal was delicious, so I was very pleased!
Question, will you always have customers? Or are there certain parts of the day where you won’t have any deliveries. Also, are the locations always close to you? Or do they go 20miles+ from you
sam Costin If you live in a bigger city, you will typically always have deliveries. Doesn't matter the time of day. Outside of bigger cities it's busy during lunch and dinner hours, but can slow down a good bit before or after those times. As for delivery distance, I've never really gotten one more than 20 miles. I think it's pretty rare, but it is possible. The vast majority of your deliveries would be between 1-10 miles. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions 👍
MoyerOfficial one more question.. do you make enough off deliveries to cover your gas and make a reasonable profit?
sam Costin I think you do, but there are a lot of factors. It's all about how quick you can get the deliveries completed. You really need to be getting 4 or 5 deliveries an hour to make decent money, maybe more. If it's a slow day, too much traffic, not enough demand for orders etc, then it's tough to make a good profit when you factor in gas. Either way, it takes a bit of time to figure out the best time of day to drive in your city, and what area is the best place to drive. Usually you need to hang around areas with the most available UberEats restaurants.
MoyerOfficial oh okay, makes sense. Thanks for responding!
I guess doing this in NYC will be a lot of troble? Too much traffic. Hard to park.
Kai Liu I would assume so! I think a lot of the UberEats people up there run as bike messengers. Not sure how parking would work haha
They let you deliver via bicycle, that'd be where you'd make your money in NYC. However, I'm not sure how many ppl would order Uber Eats in the city, since you can pretty much walk out your front door and find food. Good luck to you though!!
@@badnewsbruner An enormous amount of people order UberEATS, Grubhub, Doordash, etc in NYC. People are so busy, many can't leave their desk during work and just order on their phone. Moms and dads both work and get home at 6, they're hungry, kids are hungry. It's so much easier to just press a few buttons on the phone and get food than cook a whole meal, or dress up the whole family to go out and eat overpriced NYC restaurant food. You may not live in NYC, so you may not understand how crazy expensive a lot of restaurants are. And the good places that are cheap, guess what? They're busy as f**k, and you have to wait a long time to sit down at a table. Online delivery for many people is no longer a luxury, but instead, a necessity. And yes, most delivery people in NYC use bicycles.
Kai Liu Visual specially for a truck driver
HEY HEY! I just uploaded a new updated 2019 Uber Eats video that covers EVERYTHING you need to know before signing up. Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/U8-TCNT23_M/v-deo.html Thanks again for all the love on this video :)
Thanks for the input
You are a gentleman
Great leadership role
i worked for ubereats for like 7 months and let me tell you 99.9 percent of the time i was going threw frestrations. getting stuck in traffic, cant find parking, the gps takes me astray, getting 115 dallar parking tickets i was going threw hell...
Julio Santana
You didn't master the art if you stuggled for 7 months.
I do it from 10pm-4am when the $10 per order promotion is going on. Zero traffic. Drive thru. Don't even have to get out of my car
way ahead of ya i started working in the over night hours to avoid traffic but im bearly getting any request now and the surge and promodtion is worthless if you aint getting no request i work for 12 to 14 hours and im only making like 30 to 50 dallars.
what art? I adjusted and started working in the over night hours to avoid traffic and now im not getting request so its not really about mastering art if you dont get no request then theres nothing you can do about it and i mentioned that i was working for 7 moths i did not say that i was working during the day during the hole entire 7 months i didnt know that driving and dilivering was a art
Julio Santana your language abilities are too low for that. Garbage man, recycling sorter, or toilet cleaner are your true callings.
bruh i have no idea what is it that your trying to cimunicate to me if your trying to belittle me or trying to make me feel inignificant save it that bullshit is not gona work with me
Did you just put a key in your door? What is this the 1980s?
😂😂😂
I agree with you. I’ve been doing Uber eat with doordash and been able to earn a decent amount of money and will plan to do it till as long as I can for that one fact that I hate having a supervisor always breathing down my neck lol.. For those customer that doesn’t give a lot of detail of where their apartment is or gated code what do you usually? I usually just call them and turn on the timer regardless if they pick up or not and will try my best of the direction that was given to me by the customer at that time. When working for Uber eat time is really money and I will not spend to much time trying to find a customer house if their direction isn’t clear enough for me to find it.
will be signing up this weekend with your code... enjoy
I haven’t started UberEats yet my biggest concerns are getting lost or not finding parking
Sugar Spice And Everything Nice parking isn’t the issue, to me. I believe it’s more in the fares and tips. People don’t tip when you have a service that gives you the option. I feel the option of tipping should be eliminated and forced like auto shops on labor
I’m always scared some crazy guy will deliver my food and poison it or shoot me up at my door
Tite
Rob Shapiro excuse me
How is that different from any delivery person, or some crazy person working on your food?
You got issues.. see a doctor please
OOF chill out there are many different safety things uber drivers have to do
I didn’t know you could deposit instantly! I like that! I have Chase
Super insightful video. Thank you for sharing
my worst ubereats delivery it took 1 hour to make $10 earnings... 18 minutes drive to restraunt, 15 minutes wait for food, 7 minute drive to delivery address wihch was wrong, phone call with customer they lied , second phone call to customer they then told me where they wanted their food (20 mins after ariving)...
ronald rogerson I would have eaten their food for that one! Hahaha
BreuckelensFinest I felt like smashing the food on her face but while I know a customer is awake and wanting service I do not give up unfortunate ly
as soon as I know how much time the restaurant is taking , I would call the customer to give them heads up because is not your fault you are just standing there or he will get pissed at you by not even considering a tip!
Watch out for people that use fake delivery address, after you pickup their food and travel to their fake drop off point, they will text you the real address any where from 20 to 30 min + drive.
Thanks for heads up, kids will do that as well since they are not allowed to have food delivered to the high school. As far as I know in pa the high school is private property and no delivery to minors?
My first and last to drive uber eats -- never again. First when I got to the restaurant, I needed to wait almost 10 minutes for the food. Then I have to carry 6 heavy bags. Customer house is over 5 miles. When I finally reached the house, parking was difficult (I needed to park a little further because no parking close to the house). I have to do parallel parking which added more stress to myself as if I’m not stressed yet. Finally I parked then knocked on the door delivered the food politely .........then Customer took food. Then I left....
It’s not good to expect a tip, but I am hoping the customer gives me even a dollar for all the trouble I went thru.... Nothing.....
And the delivery, I only get paid $7.
Could you be any more petty? You're whining about not being able to find parking and having to carry bags of food, which couldn't weigh more than 5 pounds...
You’d be lucky to even get $7 from door dash since they love to steal the online tips.
You waited 10 minutes? Wow poor you, I've waited up to 30 minutes and never complained i feel like 10 minutes isn't even that bad?😂 all you have to do is chill for a sec you're getting paid for the shit.
Can you cancel if the food takes over 10 minutes?
Peter DeGuzman Try to have someone in the passenger seat so you don’t have to park
Hey man. I’m from Marietta but I live in dunwoody now. I loved the quick little scene of the Marietta square 👌🏻
AverageLeaguePlayer Nice! Yep, gotta love the square 👍
thank you so much for your video , I just singup and get accepted. kind of nervous to do since it's my first time finger cross ✌
So, what if you deliver and no one's there? Leave the food?
I'm not sure what UberEats actually wants you to do in that situation. Worth looking into. My thought would be to keep calling/texting the customer (the app gives you their name and number) and if after 15 minutes or so you still don't have an answer, you can cancel the order in the app. I believe in this case you would just keep the food. You could also leave the food if it seems like it would be a safe spot to leave it, and when you complete the trip on your app you can leave a note that states where you left it. I've done hundreds of deliveries and haven't had that happen though! Thanks
Good summation of Uber Eats. Uber needs to firm up the rules on Uber Eats Drivers being told by customer to "leave food at the doorstep or garage" etc. Most cities have food guidelines regarding delivering food to people. Board of Health rules. Also, when you end up waiitng for food to be ready at restaurant (pickup location), many times the store help wont tell you how long it will be. So, what do you do to let customer know you'll be late dropping food off. Almost everyone ive delivered to is anxious to get the food. Their hungry and may be out of sorts if you're late.
Do you call them? Well, you can, but that means you have to "Start Delivery" to get their phone #. That can result in a higher Delivery fee, not to mention a bad rating for "late dropping off food".
Dont forget to tell customer that you HAD to wait at the store, the food was not ready. If you dont, they will ding you on review.
Been loving doing Ubereats out here in North ATL
I suggest postmates, uber takes mad long until you get a hit
I have thought about checking out Postmates. Thanks for the tip!
brandon reid postmate suck in some areas
brandon reid who's better to work for...Uber Eats, Grubhub or postmates?
Yourtrashmytreasure
I wanna know about that too
I work for Postmates and I can tell you that it takes 4-7 business days for them to pay you for a delivery. Tips don’t show up until at least 24 hours after delivery and often days later. I’m signing up for UE as well so I can get some of that instant money.
My experience in my area
Pros - Not making money
Cons - Not making money
I'll stick with X / SELECT
I am an uber driver and this was very interesting and valuable - not sure I will do this but now I have a better idea what to expect.
Nice shirt! YNWA ;D and thanks for the tips!
The wear and tear on your car is like $0.50 a mile and you have to tell your insurance you're using it for commercial purposes
Does anyone force you to tell ur insurance company? I wouldn't tell them if I'm just doing a few trips per day
I spoke with my insurance company. As long as I'm not driving riders around, it's not for commercial purposes and nothing changes.
Im kinda worried geico might want to check my odometer.. before I started working for ubereats I was driving like 4000 miles a year.. which makes my insurance really cheap... first week with ubereats and drove 400 miles..
Bethanie Arney State law is different for every state on that, for instance New York State requires commercial insurance even for food delivery, that's what it says when I tried to sign up for Amazon Flex
why TF would you tell your insurance company? thats the stupidest thing to do. They will never find out. If you drive alot of miles, first they will never care, but lets imagine they ask, just say you went on an adventure trip
He keeps picking his nose. People are saying he is handsome. I don't see it. He just looks normal to me.
melody johnson I 100% agree. I'm just a normal guy. Really hate all this praise. 👍
MoyerOfficial Don't sweat it. It's just my opinion and I'm not a fan of beards, too scratchy. I didn't notice the shoulder length hair before, that's actually cool. But to me, you just look ok like a normal guy.
melody johnson Haha, no worries. I'm just messing around. But like...RIGHT? I'm just a normal dude, not some handsome guy. Don't know what these people are talking about. 😂😂
MoyerOfficial
Me either. Cool beans.
the beard
that sign in the dash is a great idea. I should make one of up those up
I got mine from UberEats with the insulated bag when I signed up! So they may actually give you one. If not, pretty easy to make your own 👍
Thank you for the info!!
Do UberEats pay you for gas/mileage and if so what is the rate? And do you get paid instantly after you cash out for the day?
Unfortunately UberEats does not pay any additional money for gas/mileage. You can keep track of your mileage and write them off on your taxes, but that's about it. And yes, if you cash out at the end of the day the money goes into your account instantly. You don't have to cash out every day though. You get a weekly paycheck from UberEats if you don't use the Instant Pay feature. Hope this helps
MoyerOfficial Thanks!👍
MoyerOfficial Do they charge you a fee if you use instant pay?
Branden150 yes... I drive for Uber eats in Central California... it’s a 50¢ fee but it’s taken out after you get the full amount of what you earned... so after you cash out you’ll see that your new balance is -0.50
