same i never use a hot bag, if the food is hot I do try to crank the heat up in my car just so it retains some heat but I have never had any complaints on the food being cold unless it was sitting for a long time at the restaurant.
@@tetermc 🤣 almost never, you would be surprised how things retain heat. most of the time you can feel heat coming out of the bag to know it’s still hella warm.
I worked at hungry Howie's and when I first started we straight up declined DoorDash orders that didn't have a pizza bag, then I started dashing myself and realized they didn't send us one. I talked to my owner about it and now she buys boxes of the pizza bags in bulk from DoorDash themselves, and we just give them to the DoorDash drivers if they don't have one already. That way they can still complete their run and now they have a bag
Personally, as an Australian who usually orders because I’m too lazy to deal with the crap parking near the place I’m ordering, (Thanks local council who removed 60 parking spots in a single block of the main restaurant strip.) I will tip even if my food is a bit cold. Microwaves do exist after all. I watch the progress of my driver, and see they are not wasting time. I also know they don’t make a lot from the job, so every tip is welcome. I always greet them with a smile and a big thanks, use their name, and I always include special instructions to help find the apartment I am in as it is a bit of a winding route to the back of the property.
@@nickygoldstein6610 no. I would call dd if I get reported and tell them because sometimes the restaurant fixes the order too early. I never had that happened and if it does, I will fight it if they make it an issue. If the customer text me, I will tell them it's the restaurants fault. See, that is the problem with delivering food. You have Liars in delivery, with customers and restaurants. I have cut back on how many I deliver and it helps eliminate that somewhat
No matter what your job is, be the best. I used to be a manager at a restaurant. Instead I serve Monday through Friday. Making more then a manager. Off weekends. I like your hustle
- all the taxes and gas and car repairs and etc bc it’s “your own business” if you don’t save at least 30% of all your income for taxes your gonna be screwed lucky I was working so the taxes I should of got back paid “my business” taxes
They should definitely give you those when you guys start. I also think that the restaurants should have to provide cupholders or those cup holder things. Because I have had my drink spilled before and it was definitely because the driver wasn’t given a box to hold the drinks up right After they delivered them and they fell over. There are so many things that the restaurants do that I feel like reflect negatively on the drivers when that shouldn’t be the case.
I actually have had quite a few customers request I don’t use my hot bag because it makes certain food soggy, like chick-fil-A for example. Never put that in a hot bag the fries and burger will be completely soggy
🤣good one. Whatever works to protect yourself. Most people I've delivered to have Cs and realize it's the restaurants fault or sometimes the app messes up and it sits there
Thermal bags are obligatory when creating a deliverer account in Poland cuh we almost always use it I for example always put the food inside the thermal box bag and it needs to be kept clean because after some time it starts to smell like food
The bag makes the food easier to carry and can keep it from falling over too. I got a plastic drink carrier from Michaels that stays up better than regular ones and is easier to carry as well. It can tip over but I wedge it in against the food or whatever
I got the Uber eats backpack and I don't even do food delivery. It's just sweet as hell when I want to hop on my scooter to grab a few things, they're amazing and was like $20 for the backpack one.
With doordash them receiving cold food doesn't affect your score a lot of the time. I've never had someone reduce or take away a tip in my 847 deliveries with DD. Had a couple of people lie about not receiving food. You can appeal that and have the violation dismissed though.
I never use a bag, those teeny little bags never fit on the huge order people buy. And if they do get a little order I just turn up the heat for winter
You would not believe how many drivers refuse to use these things and say "well they should have given me a bag to use, I'm not using my own money" well okay enjoy the inevitable deactivation just don't come back and say you got deactivated for no reason.
Or tires, brakes, belts, clutch discs(if he drives a manual) or those other service items a car needs and I have had costly unexpected things break such as my cars clutch throw out bearing deciding to go Brrr one day. $1200 for a new clutch kit with labor
I’m unsure about anywhere else but in Scotland when I worked pizza hutt if you came to pick up an order for someone on just eat/ubereats etc and didn’t have a hotbag you will be refused. Even if you just left the moped outside and I can see the bag in the back.
In my area people don't tip so there food sits until doordash and Uber bumps the base pay. No insulated bag will ever compensate that. I've taken on so many orders that people will blow up my phone 'Where are you!?!" 1 minute after I accepted it cause they waited 40 minutes for someone to accept it lol
I got a 2X4FT 2 compartment thermal insulated car organizer for kids on Amazon that's strapped to the front passenger seat. Front non insulated compartment has an insulated drinks holder/carrier I put in it that is removable and the back insulated compartment is used to double insulate with the hot bag I already use. Backseat has a 2X4ft crate with a big catering bag that fits snug with 3 other small hot bags in it for separating orders and to keep everything from sliding in the big bag. Also different color bags for easily seeing and remembering which bag is what.
I may be the only one and I have no idea why this is but I did an experiment with the bag. I used a hot bag all week and brought it to the door handed the food off. I then did it another week with no hot bag. Then I did this again several weeks. I literally got worse tips using the hot bag. Stopped using the hot bag all together and I’ve been getting much better tips for months now
Always that 1/3 of the food and repack it before delivery, best job ever , no boss , free food and since I bought an utility car at an action, I just put the light on and stop in the middle of the street for deliveries.
at our starbucks, the manager will sometimes refuse to hand over delivery if they dont even have the bag. sort of like a stamp that this guy actually is (or is definitely maliciously pretending) to be the delivery driver.
Dude what state are you in I'm here in Texas and we have horrible horrible horrible horrible tippers on Mike really really good days I'm pulling in $300 a day but that's only on Saturday if I'm working from 6:00 a.m. to midnight the market are here is horrific I would never think about getting a a hot bag to keep any of these ridiculous people's food hot for them
As a food delivery driver I wouldn’t bother unless you drive for doordash they make you use a pizza bag for pizza and if you don’t use it they won’t give you pizza orders. If the food gets cold it’s on the restaurant. Some things I do reccomend instead is something to hold extra drinks in case you get orders with lots of drinks. Some sort of protection such as a gun, pepper spray and/or knife for your safety especially if you deliver in a unsafe place. A dash cam for front and back. Good insurance. And a good phone mount plus emergency power bank.
I have a plug in bag and I toss a hot hands in it when I start my shift that day. I stuff my puffer jacket insjide and away we go. I also have a cold drink bag that I put an ice pack in. I work overnights so I get a lot of orders that are far since I’m one of the only drivers out. These pay well but sometimes I’m driving 10-15 minutes to get to the costumer. I leave the food and it’s warmer than when I picked it up and there’s often bubble tea from this one place that’s open until 3am. It arrives frozen and frosty as when I picked it up. Often after the delivery I’ll get a ding on ny phone telling me the customer who already tipped well added anywhere from $5 to $25(!!) more bucks on top of what they paid. Living far away I know they’ve received cold food and melted dessert drinks plenty and they appreciate this small effort. Now you know the secret to getting larger tips.
The way I do mine is I don’t take anything under a dollar per mile , it cost me 15 cents a mile for gas and I figure 15 cents a mile for upkeep. That way I’m making 70 cents a mile guaranteed. At the end of year when tax time comes you can claim standard deduction of 52 cents a mile ( give or take 5 cents )
I don’t think any of the Uber delivery people around here use one. Every time I order from a restaurant about 10 minutes away, the food is ice cold and awful. My default tipping is 25%, and that’s slowly lowering
If you can manage some kind of Uber promotion for a bag when starting, do that. Otherwise, a thermal bag from the Wal-Mart camping section is all you need!
That's how these companies scam you, they don't have delivery drivers as workers they have them as contractors so they don't have to pay unemployment, benefits, or follow employment laws
There is this one restaurant that makes AMAZING Italian food. And if you go over there and order you're in for a really good time. But it has something like 2.8 stars online. Why? Because their deliveries ALWAYS come cold and late. They always take more than an hour to deliver it (I've had to wait for 2.5 hours on a Tuesday once) and I've never had a hot food item. The closest I've gotten was lukewarm but usually it's already cold. Why they haven't changed their system, I'm not sure. But it's been like this for years
$221 that’s about $25 an hour, let’s say he averages those hours for a week that $1000 for a 40 hour week, for driving around and cruisin that ain’t bad! And if you do weekends could be earning more than most people with full time corporate jobs 😅
If somebody gets cold food from me it is because the restaurant didn't keep it warm, especially on a rack by the door
same i never use a hot bag, if the food is hot I do try to crank the heat up in my car just so it retains some heat but I have never had any complaints on the food being cold unless it was sitting for a long time at the restaurant.
@@Brandonnnnnnnnnnn482 I always put the food in bags even if it is just to keep the food protected and secured

@@tetermc 🤣 almost never, you would be surprised how things retain heat. most of the time you can feel heat coming out of the bag to know it’s still hella warm.
@@tetermc i just had a 20 min drive for a pizza order last night and it was still scorching hot by the time i arrived at the house lol
You are already in the finish line my man ! Great content
They were less than 15 dollars 6 months ago when this video was created.
I found the bag keeps the smell out of my car - stays in the bag
it also signals the staff that you’re delivering. so they work with you instead of the fake smiles
Bro I just keep a microwave hooked up in my car
K😂
This is why I sit on the food while I’m driving to the customer.
“Satisfaction rate goes so low you get deactivated” sounds like smthing straight outa black mirror
Door dash gives a free hot bag with sign up package. It does not say you have to only use it for door dash. I hope this helps you all
They don’t even require you to use it. It’s optional but recommended. I’m still waiting for my bag to arrive
Actually some places do make sure you use it. I’ve seen places refuse to hand the food over to the courier if they weren’t using a hot bag
I worked at hungry Howie's and when I first started we straight up declined DoorDash orders that didn't have a pizza bag, then I started dashing myself and realized they didn't send us one.

Same , there is a pizza place called mancinos here that does the same thing
So based
Nice so the pizza sits even longer and gets cold for the next driver to get
A fender-bender or a traffic ticket can set you back. But the hot bag is good when you're picking up multiple orders, and one of them is 'delayed.'

What sucks is that the restaurant makes the food before a driver accepts the order. The food is cold before it's picked up.
I had a delivery of food not long ago. The driver came up to my door with the food in an insulated bag. I really appreciated the thoughtfulness of it.
No matter what your job is, be the best. I used to be a manager at a restaurant. Instead I serve Monday through Friday. Making more then a manager. Off weekends. I like your hustle
Just saw your Ubereats ad right after this short… good shit man 👍🏽👍🏽🥃
I use my seat warmers way more affective with out food getting soggy from water vapor.
Get that bread man

4000+ deliveries and I’ll never use a hot bag

I remember someone left one at my school and I took it well worth it
I use a blanket lol it's easier than trying to stuff orders into a bag
Cheap ass
🤣good one. Whatever works to protect yourself. Most people I've delivered to have Cs and realize it's the restaurants fault or sometimes the app messes up and it sits there
A real blanket or one of the heat ones ?
I don't give a driver an order without a bag. Company policy. JustEat.
i can always tell when someone uses these because anything fried becomes soft
Not the hot food being put into plastic or styrofoam?
@@burkles4456 they all do it
Wow dude inspiring, you’re almost there
The only foods that will almost always get cold or normal temp is pizza

At my pizza lace we are not allowed to give a delivery guy the food unless the food fits inside of the food
use da hot bag and leave on floor lol
Exactly..idiotic
I appreciate all the help bro! My hot bag came in today for door dash paid like $10 it’s definitely a good investment

Uses hot bag then puts it on the cold wet floor
Some food it is actually worst if you use warming bag zipped up, for this reason I always leave my warming bags unzipped.
My mom has more than she knows what to do with 💀

Only 2 perfect of drivers use a bag, you and me.
fun fact: In Belgium you're REQUIRED to send a picture of your insulated bag (aka hot bag) together with your ID.

How are your bushings doing?
Mechanical wear after gigging 100 days = 200 - 2,000 days of regular driving (parking is where it sucks most)
Are there also (bags) or something that actively warms the food a little?

Heated seats :p
Should have took the bag into the restaurant with you!
I think that should be provided by the company you work for. same goes for other work related items like a uniform.
That's how these companies scam you, they don't have delivery drivers as workers they have them as contractors so they don't have to pay unemployment, benefits, or follow employment laws
What fuckin companies give you uniform 🥋 most make you pay for it
Most business don’t do this because employee turn over rate is so high
Ah, having to buy your own work equipment and having to rely of hopes and prayers that you get tips instead of a decent salary.
