      I know why. I don't get many orders! The only app I can get on is uber eats. I try 4 hours in the evening and om lucky to get 3 orders! I tried lunch time a few times and I get one or two.

      ​​​@@edwinsmith2827Try making yourself needed at undesirable restaurants like McDonald's or Taco Bell. I get the requests because I'm sure others declined them for the long wait lines that can be. I sometimes get orders from non busy restaurants that are nearby. I recommend not staying in 1 spot, but chasing around the hotspots. Because restaurant busyness changes often. Uber updates every 5 minutes, to be as accurate as possible!

    I will never forget I took a 20 dollar shop, there were 35 items, I was half way thru & was like this is not worth it. But I finished the order with the help of a store clerk (ty) and afterwards got a 💯 tip, I even went back & passed the store clerk something because she didn’t have to help me. I was so grateful

    I had a customer ordering a gift tray of really expensive cookies. She messaged me asking not to let them put a receipt on the box. I said no problem. I carry labels just in case, so I made a gift tag for her and I had gold ribbon leftover from Christmas, took thirty seconds and made a bow. An hour later, a $20 tip was sent to me. The little things matter! Not even a minute of work got $20 and the customer felt special. Win-win 😊

    I had to learn declining orders the hard way as I used more gas. Uber automatically bumps up the price during surge if you decline it so it goes to the next driver at higher price. Don’t make the same mistake and make sure you decline low offer orders so the price can get bumped up.

Learning some new tips and adjusting my processes based on your vast knowledge and experience is a big help as well, Thank You!

    Dollars to mile is the golden ticket. Make way more that way because you'll usually not be too far from the restaurant you started at. I try to not go over 4 miles ever unless it's 2+ per mile on the offer. But the only time you stray from that would be high dollar orders that put you in a zone near a plaza with restaurants. Doing these will increase the amount of time your receiving orders/taking orders as well as your daily total ✌

    My opinion on shop and pay orders are if it's a super slow lunch period and it pays more than 2 dollars a mile and 20 dollars an hour I MAY consider taking it on. Also the same goes for late at night if the frequency of orders have dropped to less than one every ten minutes I may accept one for my last order if the ending destination is close to my home.

    My number 1 tip: Don't take pre-planned Walmart orders There are always way more items than it says, often won't all fit in your vehicle. Nearly impossible to keep them separated when there are more than 3 or 4 at once. They give crappy tips, if any at all. It takes far longer to pick them up. Instead take them only if they come up during your normal day and if they show pay for about double what a normal delivery would be, and not more than 2 at a time.

    I don't take many shop/pay orders unless I'm delivering near my house. My town specifically isn't super busy, but if I multi-app I can make 2.50 - 3 dollars a mile when I incorporate some shop/pay orders. It's definitely dependent on the area you're in. I usually drive a few miles away to an area that covers a few 100k people, so I rather focus on quick orders, but with adapting different strategies the shop/pay orders can be quite beneficial.

    Hi Mike, great video. I have a few questions if I may. I only want to drive part-time in my local area. 1. Can I not accept any orders outside my area? If so, how many times am I allowed to do this? I agree with your dollars-to-miles ratio and don't want to put a lot of miles on my car. 2. Does uber eats let you know that an order has been accepted by another driver when you try to accept the same order? That way you don't drive there for nothing. 3. What happens if you make a delivery correctly, but the customer claims that they never received it? I see videos of drivers taking a photo, but it doesn't prove you are at the right location. 4. Does uber track your vehicle to prove you are at the correct address? 5. How flexible is the work schedule? Thanks, Mike, I appreciate your help.

    In my area, all the trips are one way meaning it's a deadhead back to my starting point. So, if the order says 2 miles it's 4 miles, 2 there, and 2 back to my starting point. The order must pay no less than one dollar a mile. The two-mile order just mention must pay at least 4 bucks before I take it.

      Typically for delivery jobs you tend to find people in poorer neighborhoods tips better in comparison to richer neighborhoods. Because they understand the struggle. Not always, but typically. It's been like that since older fashion pizza delivery style jobs.

    The big profit killer is long distances to residences or apartments out in the sticks. Because you might get $1/mile or more, but then you have to drive back for 20 minutes. So my max distance is 6-7 miles, less if I'm near the county border, $5 min order, $1-2/mile minimum.

    I've been driving for Uber for about six years, and for Ubereats exclusively for the past three. I agree with you about the order and pay. You're not going to make any money spending twenty minutes shopping for somebody in a Walgreens. Restaurants aren't too bad, but since you ordered it, you have to wait for them to cook it. I disagree with you about how much you should make per hour. That would be different depending on the economy in your area. If I average $20 per hour, I feel I had an excellent day.

    I've seen $9 surge pay, and to be honest I've never got it even when I'm sitting directly on top of it. I think they do it as trick to move drivers around and it goes away without ever having a real increase in business. In my market, it's a total bait and switch for drivers and I have seen no benefit from it. I have sat in the parking lot of a restaurant with no orders, a surge appears for just long enough to drive in a bunch of suckers, and then disappears with nobody actually ordering any food. The customers just use another app, wait, or come get it themselves. Most of the drivers in my area are bona fide losers who would be fired from any decent restaurant job, and are ruining the whole market.

    Doesn’t declining all these deliveries take away your rating, since you must maintain a high acceptance rate ?
    Also curious what is the creator’s acceptance rate ? 10%, 30% or more ?
    Is it preferable to sacrifice your rating to turn down lots of poor paying deliveries ?
    Seems like you must turn down the majority of deliveries to get to the better miles to pay ratio of $1.50-$2,00+/mile deliveries ?

    Thanks for this. I hate it when I get like a $20 KFC order or something along those lines, get to the restaurant, and get told that they don't have the order, other people tried picking it up before me, and I need to cancel. If it were DD, I would get $10 half pay for compensation. But UberEats only gives me $3 or $4 every time I have them cancel an unfinishable order.
    On my app surge pay is not in "+$" format, but instead shown in multipliers. The highest I've seen is like 2.5 or 3x. Also, I've never seen or heard of "Quests." Do you need to opt-in or are these iPhone only or something?

So I try to avoid those trips. I also get sent out to Friendswood, Kemah area and South Shore which I like. Don’t really like Pasadena… too many old bumpy roads. Hate going all the way to Texas City and Santa Fe mainly cause of the high gas prices.
      Only thing that really bugs me about the app is they don’t do a good job on letting us know where we are delivering to. But I suppose that’s on purpose to get us not to reject the trip. 🤷‍♀️

Uber shows straight. at the light, in traffic, it now says turn left. The cure, for me, is look up your destination address and go to google maps instead. I've even wound up in a huge parking lot when I should be 2 blocks away. Frustrating. Just a heads up that may help.

    My basic rule is $1.50 per mile. Don't care what orders, from whatever restaurant, to where when i do this "fulltime" on a Sat/Sun.
    As a parttime gig, after my fulltime job everyday after work, i aim for $10 base pay from local restaurants. About 45 minutes to an hour of drive time. Extra $50 a week or $200/month, but with tips the average is $70/week and about $300/month extra income. It might not help my 2005 Honda Civic with depreciation, but the it helps pay for my car gas for the entire week (36 miles/gal)
    I've only started 2 months ago, and if i did this fulltime, i could probably pull in $300-$400 per day BUT then it won't be a gig anymore just straight up hustling and having that "delivery mindset." Ok, this delivery is done, where's the next one. Over and over all day.
    Treat it like a gig, and it'll be a gig. Treat it like a fulltime job, it'll be a job now and not a gig.
    And i think the base pay is low due to the influx of new drivers, but CA prop 22 helps me a lot with extra income for about 10 hours work per week doing Uber Eats.
