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’ve taken a 20$ with 37 items too it was bad and I was pissed plus I had to finish it in one hour and so I was 30 min late and it was late and dark I had to carry all those damn bags. I did get a 10$ tip however she gave me 3 stars which brought my rating down to 2! I was so pissed off and tired on top of it all. This was with shipt btw!
U er is a corrupt dishonest company. In many areas they have more drivers than customers. Most of the time you Won't clear even half the minimum wage. Advice for newbies run away from Uber as fast as you can
@marinabogoslavskaya2715 That was ungrateful of her! Especially with all the hard work you put in! 1 hour to get to the store, shop a large amount, scan & pay for it all, & deliver to the Customer in 1 hour is ridiculous!!!
@@walthinckley8978 I got $266 of prop 22 for my first 2 weeks, which brought me over $1,000 But I keep my app on most the day and take every order I get and I still can’t get 1 an hour, more like 1 order every 1.5 hours

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.
100 miles a day makes you 100 dollars car 20 miles per gallon 5 gallons by 5 dollars is 25 baks for fuel@@jackcarraway4707 city speed limit 25 miles/hr making peanuts only make money for rise
Did my first drive tonight for UE and there were some really ridiculous offers coming through. Like 3 bucks for 6 plus miles. No brainer decliners. If it's less than a dollar 50 a mile, it's an immediate decline.
Drove my first whole day $130 using these tips. Didn’t take a trip under $7 and did 12 trips. I also logged my mileage so I’m in the green and only payed out like $15 in gas.
I appreciate your videos Mike, started DoorDash last year and switched over to Uber Eats in February after trialing both together for a few months. I employ a lot of what you talk about in my own way already so it's nice to have some confirmation on what I was already doing. Learning some new tips and adjusting my processes based on your vast knowledge and experience is a big help as well, Thank You! Been making a consistent $25/hr + since I switched away from DoorDash and just had my largest day of $318.74 in 11hrs 15min total online time last Saturday.
I also had a customer lie to Uber and say someone else was using my account, give me a thumbs down and remove their tip for an order that took over 1hr to complete then got a $27.04 McDonalds order for 0.6 miles later that day. Happened on the Saturday mentioned above. If you're out there hustling and come across someone like this, make sure to ''''calmly'''' explain the situation to a support representative and know that the good vastly outweighs the bad!
@@MrXunoriginal How do you find out what a customer says when they complain about you? I got 5 thumbs down, and the rest are thumbs up, and I'm one point away from being a gold member. I called about the complaint that I got, and they wouldn't tell me what it was and gave me some generic advice on how to get thumbs up. It did not help me at all. I have no idea why that customer was upset.
@@magicmantis Truth is you just have to do your best and roll with the punches, Uber doesn't really fix those ratings. I wouldn't worry too much but definitely contact support if you feel something is unjust. But this case Uber notifys you fairly quickly when it's a fraud accusation
Mike, thanks for the Uber Eats advice. You've probably saved me months if not a year or more trying to figure it out on my own. I found that in Honolulu it's not hard to hit $25 hr. consistently, but your advice is pushing me to $28-$30+ on a regular basis. Sick!!! Thanks again Mike!
Door dash sucks in Hawaii just cause it's over Saturated with drivers... I bank with Uber eats. Non stop request comes in .. door dash it's fewer and far in between
Shop and pay orders are absolutely a gamble. It can pay off or it can go badly when items not in stock and customer just cancels which has happened to me 3 times today.
Pamela I'm about to start myself here in about a week as soon as I get my car insured wish me luck its gonna be my first time doing food deliveries so I'm a little nervous, wishing you the best on your hustle. 👍🙂
Thanks Mike for your videos. A year and a half ago I was nervous to start delivering with Uber Eats and now I am making extra income with this and I actually enjoy it.
The benefit of the equipment is really keeping the food hot. The cstmrs get a question asking about the heat of the food. I want to improve my tips not take away from them
@@willstaxx0730 i just started ubereat. I accept every trips. Most of them don’t tips. I dont get to see them tho. Most of my delivery leave at front door. I just knock or ring doorbell or just call them let them know it is at front door. I get likely 2 tips out of 10 delivery
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 ✌
I do shop and pay. If it’s a $20 order and I can complete the entire order in under a hour it’s worth it. The liquor orders usually come with big tips. They also help with requiring less driving for the money.
Thanks man. I start Uber eats next week and am a little nervous about it, but years as a bike messenger has finall come full circle as all I really want to do at this point in my life is ride around on my motorscooter. So much the better if I can get paid for it. You gotta great way of presenting yourself and I look forward to more. Thanks.
I go to grocery stores and buy a couple dozen two liters of Coke when on sale for around a dollar or so. I include them with bigger orders with a note that thanks the customer for their business, and to have some Coke to wash down your order. I always 3-5x my investment on tips. I am in a wealthy market, not guaranteed to work in yours.
Go with what works, each market is different my standard is 1$ per mile but that works for me in my market if I shoot for 1.50/1.75 my earnings would look like this Earnings 12.46 Tips 4.50
I think the close able bags have increased my tips. I treat every order as if I were going to eat it. I work in Northern Texas, McKinney, I usually average 25 an hour. Your videos have been a great help, now I have to get rid of the 14 mile per gallon to Increase there also. I would have never guessed.
I been doing Uber for a couple to make for this inflation we are going thru and it helps a lot, very happy and enjoy driving around LA and getting pay for that, I have my regular and do this like on a part time basis, thanks for the tips really helps a lot 👍
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 started delivering for Ubereats again after a six month layoff. Here are the issues I am experiencing: 1. Food is not ready when I arrive at restaurants. At least a few minute wait no matter what type of restaurant. 2. No tips. Many deliveries I receive no tip. 3. Small fee received for a long distance delivery. (20 minute ride, $2.50 fee)
I actually just order from Uber eats &&’ well I order McDonald’s &&’ I’ve had a person pick up my order &&’ decline it because McDonald’s was taking way too long, another person picked up my order &&’ he still has to wait like 20 minutes for my order to be ready- I felt horrible &&’ I was originally tipping him a 5 cause I didn’t have much to offer but I found extra cash laying around &&’ I give him a total of 10 &&’ well I know it wasn’t Uber eats faults or the drivers- it’s simply cause the restaurant be taking forever- outmost respects to these guys delivering my food 🫶🏽
1. Sometimes u accept and do other stuff so when u get there is there.. and If it takes long leave it 2. Only pick up in affluent areas where the distance and money makes sense 3.don’t pick up long distance orders
Hi Mile, I am still a UberEats Newbie and I was wondering. What is the best way go see orders come up? Driving around or staying stationary? I wasn’t sure if either or made a difference or not in the long run. I wanted to be as safe as possible & not be too distracted as a driver either.
Mike I totally appreciate your videos and advice. I too am in PA (Central.) Employing your advice after 3 mths I am averaging $20/hr. Good days I can hit $35/hr. I am still exploring other area markets to see if I can bump those numbers higher. Again thx for the tips keep them wheels turning.
New Uber Eats Driver here. So new I just got my card yesterday and I have a critical question. Uber Eats allows customers to pay cash for their orders. In the DoorDash app I have a toggle that lets me refuse to participate in C.O.D. orders. How can I do that with Uber Eats as I see no such option? When I'm sent an order will it tell me it is a C.O.D. so I can decline it?
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.
a lady food was waiting at this particular restaurant for hours 1 dy. & no one took the order b/c it was a low paying ride going 20 plus miles 🥴 i felt sorry for her b/c she was waiting so long for her food so i grabbed the order & to my surprise she gave me a $25 tip n hand when i dropped her food off & turned around & gave me another tip ($35) through the app some low paying rides are actually worth it
@@willstaxx0730 yes! i only do it when i’m off at my main job but lately i’ve been putting more into gas than i’ve been making so i think it’s a wrap for me!

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.
what pisses me off is this new trend for customers to originally add a large tip of say 5-10 dollars, so the order looks appealing for drivers. Then once the order is delivered and complete, they change the tip to 1 dollar.
I agree. It is a bait and trap sceme. Pisses me off too. Anytime, I see an delivery with $10 or higher, I always worry I'm going to be tipped less. But I still accept the delivery. This was happening ALOT over the summer, but over the last two months I've only had it happen about three times.
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.
A thing about surge pay is that it can appear when the area is actually dead, but there are no drivers for few orders. So you can be out there waiting on orders because one place is open and few drivers are out. But they aren't doing volume.
I make roughly 450 to $520 working Sundays from start to finish.. until Uber kicks me off... Mind you it cost me about $45 Canadian in gas to make that.. and I don't eat all day. I don't stop.. which turns out to be roughly 48 trips to 54 trips.. I try to beat my record every Sunday and I can't beat 54 trips
Not the funnest strategy but I drive an hour to nice neighborhoods surrounding major cities; I'm military so my market is low income. Low income areas means less orders, stingy tippers and jerk customers. Also, delivering on post means having to deal with gate shenanigans and driving on eggshells with the MP's.
I be so desperate for money I accept every order that pops up but that’s about to stop I think customers don’t realize that these delivery apps are a luxury to have& they should tip very well. I’ve delivered to big houses on a lake& only got 😒 $5.00. And I don’t shop&pay AT ALL. Places be out of what the person wants the customers never answers the phone. One last thing. Night driving is the worst in the south these people are clueless and NEVER turn their porch lights on. 😡😡😡😡
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.
Hello, I just started Uber Eats 3 weeks ago. One question I have is what app may I use if any, to log miles driven, costs of gas and other equipment for tax purposes?
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.
@@theartfullynk6618 Good idea. I guess it depends on the area. There's a big difference between the sticks and a bedroom community with a power strip area, you know?
Today was my first day and my first order was a stack order. It locked me out and I had no idea what was going on. I felt that was awful. Don't like stack orders but hopefully when I get better, it will be easier.
I'm starting uber delivery part-time as a side hustle and I get the feeling its going to be fairly profitable based on the videos I've watched and research I've done. I'm based smack dab in the center of a good sized city. A mall, the two biggest grocery stores in town, and dozens of restaurants are all within like 2 miles of me. W
Denver UE driver here, shop n pay, much like Apple/Wal-Mart orders have great payouts, I get the amount offered, whereas, with restaurant deliveries, I only get a portion of the offered amount so for me, I tend to do a lot of shopnpay, as many Wal-Mart or Apple deliveries as the tips are higher. Again that may just be me but it's true so far
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.
How do you decline a trip? Have not been able to figure this out, so I've been doing these $3.00 trips with no tip and I'm so over these types of deliveries.
My risk is the opposite usually, I refuse Wendy's, and dislike McDonald's in shadyside, I felt like it was slow so I took a McDonald's, ended up waiting 20 min, I was standing in front of the cashier and I was invisible, and when I did talk to someone it wasn't even started yet
If you take an order for $10 going 5 miles, you are getting $2 per mile. So basically, just look at the miles and multiply by 2 and if the pay is less don't accept the order! Hope that helps!
@@arlinelewin2469 yes it does. Thanks for the reply. Hope it helps other newbies coming into the gig business that read the comments.. i learned it the hard way hahaha.
I am curious what is the creator’s driver rating at Uber Eats, Blue Gold Platinum, Diamond ? 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 ?
how does proposition 22 affect my drive in california? should i take a longer trip for a lower $$ drive since prop 22 will pay for the mileage taken? thanks and hope you can answer this :)
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 if you're getting a "guaranteed" amount by Uber Eats like $255 for 30 deliveries. You should go for no more than 5.6 miles per delivery if you want $1.5 per mile?
Hello! I’m a new driver. 1) I haven’t seen any surge areas in Houston. Maybe cause we are so spread out? 2) I just signed up to deliver alcoholic drinks. I think it’s in beta in my area. Do you know anything about it? Im hoping it’ll make my tips higher.
@@kimberlymcdonald8653 Hi! I’m in Clear Lake and get sent to Pearland all the time! I do like the area, tips are average. I don’t like going North of the Beltway and East of 45S. 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. 🤷♀️ I heard there is a guy that drives everyday 12 hr shifts but only downtown and makes like $3,500 a month! I think he has a UA-cam channel… going to look him up! Oh I should mention that sometimes google maps just completely gives the wrong directions! It’s the weirdest thing! But the UE app does a good job!
@Ann G I hate to be pessimistic, but $3500/mo is not good if you have to work 12 hrs every day. It actually only comes out to $9.72/hr...this is assuming he's driving every single day, no days off.
Lol did my first uber eats drive today and encountered the virtual restaurant, I was confused for a solid 5 minutes until I called the business number hahaha
Why does it show a different amount when you get the request... and after the delivery the amount is way lower? Example: Request shows 6.. but right after you deliver it, it shows like 2 or 3.
Started Uber Eats for the first time today and only drove for an hour and made over my hourly wage at my day job. I’m gonna try again tomorrow and drive for my first full day
0:59 facts..this happens to me when I deliver orders for TGIF Fridays, it comes up as another name Conventional Chicken Wings or something. I kept getting lost missing turns I finally called the restaurant and to my surprise they answered Fridays when I called that's when I figured out it was a TGIF Fridays lol.
I'm new to Uber but I find that I can out drive Ubers directions/GPS. For instance: I get off a freeway and have a choice at a light to go straight, turn left or turn right. 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.
Damn dude, ever since I signed up for uber x and went back to uber eats, I don't even get surges anymore, just zones that say it's busy here, but no surge pay anymore
I never use that bag ever it messes up some of the food making it wet from steam!! I have a hot tray on the passenger seat and never had a bad review all 5 stars!! 2 years
Except if u continue to decline offers too much ur acceptance goes down, but if u take what they give you, you'll be chasing gas to even make money, .... I believe this is because to the pick up location is not factor when it should be especially if you get there and they cancel the order, you're not paid🤨
Hello people on the comments, help me pls. I just started doing this and I want to know when the best times (Dallas,Tx) to do Uber eats. Any easy tricks to get paid more?
I don't live in Texas, but I follow the standard peak hours defined in the app. 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. That is typically when the most orders come through. Plus, you earn more points during those hours towards your UBER Eats Pro where the points determine if you're Gold, Platinum, and Diamond status.
I just started to do UE and none of this info applies to my area. I only do this for 4-5hrs a day. All I’ve been getting is $3 to $9 dollars for 6 plus miles pushing out of any near restaurants. Please help
oh my I accepted a Mr Beast and then couldn't find it!! it kept taking me to a street with no "Mr Beast" sign of course, why don't they note that it's in (name of actual restaurant)???!!!! I found out Just Wing it is inside Chille's! how would you know though, makes no sense.
I wonder about Uber Eats delivery. I had an offer pop up for $25+ for a 40 minute delivery. Unfortunately I didn’t take a screenshot of this but after delivering to customers who were 15 miles away (bad decision) I find out that my total was only $12+. Any suggestions on the scenario of high restaurant zone/alley pickup but delivering to customers in low restaurant zones?? I might be answering my own question, but any customer beyond 5 miles from the high restaurant zones, it’s not worth driving.
I got paid $39 picking up one item at a Safeway. It cost $5 and some change. 2 Bic lighters. Delivered it to a very upscale neighborhood at 230 in the morning...
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.
has anyone ever lost a trip request during navigation to a delivery? itll keep ringing the sound but the info goes away.....any idea how to find or recover that request screen/window? support was absolutely no help.....thanx
I just stated Uber eats again, I would like to make 100.00 a week. I did it today and made 25.00 for two hours but the deliveries were so far. I burned this up in gas. Do you think 100.00 a week is realistic? Thank you for your tips.
I signed up for shop and pay but Its never worked for me. All the card swipe were declined. Also I had a pickup issue that I need help with. I arrived to pick up a order at Jack in the box before midnight. They inform me that they stop Uber eats orders at 9 pm.... Best way to handle that?
Call customer support. They'll most likely call the restaurant to confirm that they're unable to fulfill customer's order. CS will cancel it. Ask CS to get paid for your time going to the restaurant. Probably $3.

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.
Did not know this. I been accepting 2.00 orders🤣
At least $1/mile is my policy.
100 miles a day makes you 100 dollars car 20 miles per gallon 5 gallons by 5 dollars is 25 baks for fuel@@jackcarraway4707 city speed limit 25 miles/hr making peanuts only make money for rise
@@jackcarraway4707 Exactly! but I like the 2 dollars a mile better. 👍🙂
Did my first drive tonight for UE and there were some really ridiculous offers coming through. Like 3 bucks for 6 plus miles. No brainer decliners. If it's less than a dollar 50 a mile, it's an immediate decline.
Drove my first whole day $130 using these tips. Didn’t take a trip under $7 and did 12 trips. I also logged my mileage so I’m in the green and only payed out like $15 in gas.
How doing get more orders I need more money
@@violeehubbard8702 I just take $7 or above and stay around hubs with a lot of food places.
I appreciate your videos Mike, started DoorDash last year and switched over to Uber Eats in February after trialing both together for a few months. I employ a lot of what you talk about in my own way already so it's nice to have some confirmation on what I was already doing. Learning some new tips and adjusting my processes based on your vast knowledge and experience is a big help as well, Thank You!
Been making a consistent $25/hr + since I switched away from DoorDash and just had my largest day of $318.74 in 11hrs 15min total online time last Saturday.
I also had a customer lie to Uber and say someone else was using my account, give me a thumbs down and remove their tip for an order that took over 1hr to complete then got a $27.04 McDonalds order for 0.6 miles later that day. Happened on the Saturday mentioned above.
If you're out there hustling and come across someone like this, make sure to ''''calmly'''' explain the situation to a support representative and know that the good vastly outweighs the bad!
@@MrXunoriginal How do you find out what a customer says when they complain about you? I got 5 thumbs down, and the rest are thumbs up, and I'm one point away from being a gold member. I called about the complaint that I got, and they wouldn't tell me what it was and gave me some generic advice on how to get thumbs up. It did not help me at all. I have no idea why that customer was upset.
@@magicmantis Truth is you just have to do your best and roll with the punches, Uber doesn't really fix those ratings. I wouldn't worry too much but definitely contact support if you feel something is unjust.
But this case Uber notifys you fairly quickly when it's a fraud accusation
that’s a hell of a day! goalsss
Mike, thanks for the Uber Eats advice. You've probably saved me months if not a year or more trying to figure it out on my own. I found that in Honolulu it's not hard to hit $25 hr. consistently, but your advice is pushing me to $28-$30+ on a regular basis. Sick!!! Thanks again Mike!
Multi-app and you can up it even more. I don’t think I could do Honolulu cuz of parking. The west side is awesome.
Door dash sucks in Hawaii just cause it's over Saturated with drivers... I bank with Uber eats. Non stop request comes in .. door dash it's fewer and far in between
Shop and pay orders are absolutely a gamble. It can pay off or it can go badly when items not in stock and customer just cancels which has happened to me 3 times today.
Started Uber Eats today to fill in the financial gaps. Thank you so very much for sharing these very helpful tips!
Pamela I'm about to start myself here in about a week as soon as I get my car insured wish me luck its gonna be my first time doing food deliveries so I'm a little nervous, wishing you the best on your hustle. 👍🙂
2 months later.. how is going? Im kinda curious
@@swully-ol4lx I am starting soon too and so nervous!
Thanks Mike for your videos. A year and a half ago I was nervous to start delivering with Uber Eats and now I am making extra income with this and I actually enjoy it.
I'm always looking for at least 2 dollars per mile and nothing less than 10 per order. I know I'm greedy but efficient 😁
I have the pizza bag and from the store Micheals I bought a six drink carrier. That’s been really handy. They hold the large drinks.
The benefit of the equipment is really keeping the food hot. The cstmrs get a question asking about the heat of the food. I want to improve my tips not take away from them
They don’t deserve their food hot they don’t tip. Uber is bad right now
@@willstaxx0730 well maybe using the hot bag will get u tips u keep putting out that bad energy u gonna get that back
@@willstaxx0730 i just started ubereat. I accept every trips. Most of them don’t tips. I dont get to see them tho. Most of my delivery leave at front door. I just knock or ring doorbell or just call them let them know it is at front door. I get likely 2 tips out of 10 delivery
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 ✌
I do shop and pay. If it’s a $20 order and I can complete the entire order in under a hour it’s worth it. The liquor orders usually come with big tips. They also help with requiring less driving for the money.
Thanks man. I start Uber eats next week and am a little nervous about it, but years as a bike messenger has finall come full circle as all I really want to do at this point in my life is ride around on my motorscooter. So much the better if I can get paid for it. You gotta great way of presenting yourself and I look forward to more. Thanks.
I go to grocery stores and buy a couple dozen two liters of Coke when on sale for around a dollar or so. I include them with bigger orders with a note that thanks the customer for their business, and to have some Coke to wash down your order. I always 3-5x my investment on tips. I am in a wealthy market, not guaranteed to work in yours.
I appreciate the dollars per mile you suggested. I went with $1.50 per mile today but next time I will try $1.75 per mile. Thanks
Go with what works, each market is different my standard is 1$ per mile but that works for me in my market if I shoot for 1.50/1.75 my earnings would look like this
Earnings 12.46
Tips 4.50
Thank you, we're new to Uber. Good tips!!!
This guys is awesome so much knowledge Ive learned a lot from watching his videos on Uber eats and I’ve been doing this gig for awhile!
I think the close able bags have increased my tips. I treat every order as if I were going to eat it. I work in Northern Texas, McKinney, I usually average 25 an hour. Your videos have been a great help, now I have to get rid of the 14 mile per gallon to Increase there also. I would have never guessed.
I been doing Uber for a couple to make for this inflation we are going thru and it helps a lot, very happy and enjoy driving around LA and getting pay for that, I have my regular and do this like on a part time basis, thanks for the tips really helps a lot 👍
Also the shop and pay are good for a change of pace. Helps to break up the routine and stretch your legs.
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.
Starting today! Let’s see how it goes! 🎉
How'd it go?! I'm starting today! Any advice for a nervous newbie?!?
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 started delivering for Ubereats again after a six month layoff. Here are the issues I am experiencing:
1. Food is not ready when I arrive at restaurants. At least a few minute wait no matter what type of restaurant.
2. No tips. Many deliveries I receive no tip.
3. Small fee received for a long distance delivery. (20 minute ride, $2.50 fee)
I actually just order from Uber eats &&’ well I order McDonald’s &&’ I’ve had a person pick up my order &&’ decline it because McDonald’s was taking way too long, another person picked up my order &&’ he still has to wait like 20 minutes for my order to be ready- I felt horrible &&’ I was originally tipping him a 5 cause I didn’t have much to offer but I found extra cash laying around &&’ I give him a total of 10 &&’ well I know it wasn’t Uber eats faults or the drivers- it’s simply cause the restaurant be taking forever- outmost respects to these guys delivering my food 🫶🏽
I put in my bio I’m saving up for certain car and I’ve been getting more tips
1. Sometimes u accept and do other stuff so when u get there is there.. and If it takes long leave it
2. Only pick up in affluent areas where the distance and money makes sense
3.don’t pick up long distance orders
Hi Mile, I am still a UberEats Newbie and I was wondering. What is the best way go see orders come up? Driving around or staying stationary? I wasn’t sure if either or made a difference or not in the long run. I wanted to be as safe as possible & not be too distracted as a driver either.
Depends, you can do rounds maybe two around the restaurants. Then just park in a way you can head towards those rest faster.
Mike I totally appreciate your videos and advice. I too am in PA (Central.) Employing your advice after 3 mths I am averaging $20/hr. Good days I can hit $35/hr. I am still exploring other area markets to see if I can bump those numbers higher. Again thx for the tips keep them wheels turning.
New Uber Eats Driver here. So new I just got my card yesterday and I have a critical question. Uber Eats allows customers to pay cash for their orders. In the DoorDash app I have a toggle that lets me refuse to participate in C.O.D. orders. How can I do that with Uber Eats as I see no such option? When I'm sent an order will it tell me it is a C.O.D. so I can decline it?
Moving over from Doordash to Uber Eats still learning the beginning process.
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.
I agree shop and pay is an absolute gamble ... It can pay off or you can roll snake eyes 3 times in a row...
a lady food was waiting at this particular restaurant for hours 1 dy. & no one took the order b/c it was a low paying ride going 20 plus miles 🥴 i felt sorry for her b/c she was waiting so long for her food so i grabbed the order & to my surprise she gave me a $25 tip n hand when i dropped her food off & turned around & gave me another tip ($35) through the app some low paying rides are actually worth it
Those low offers suck. Nobody accepts those. Most times customers don’t tip.. this job sucks
@@willstaxx0730 yes! i only do it when i’m off at my main job but lately i’ve been putting more into gas than i’ve been making so i think it’s a wrap for me!
@@dw6465 yeah man it’s devastating. Work for Grubhub or doordash Uber really sucks. Hopefully they’ll change the platform and pay their drivers better
@@willstaxx0730 a customer complained on me a few yrs. back on doordash so they won’t reactivate my account & grubhub has me on the waiting list! hey, have you ever had a customer ask if they could pay you in cash when you delivered their food? that happened to me before & i was spooked!!! 😂
How did you know it was waiting that long?
Uber let’s you see the mileage and the pay before you accept the ride here in Georgia
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.
what pisses me off is this new trend for customers to originally add a large tip of say 5-10 dollars, so the order looks appealing for drivers. Then once the order is delivered and complete, they change the tip to 1 dollar.
I agree. It is a bait and trap sceme. Pisses me off too. Anytime, I see an delivery with $10 or higher, I always worry I'm going to be tipped less. But I still accept the delivery. This was happening ALOT over the summer, but over the last two months I've only had it happen about three times.
Hi Mike, Thanks for your tips. I appreciate it; I am new in the Gig Hustle.
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.
A thing about surge pay is that it can appear when the area is actually dead, but there are no drivers for few orders. So you can be out there waiting on orders because one place is open and few drivers are out. But they aren't doing volume.
They haven't been doing quest bonuses in CA lately....I love those Quest bonuses.
In California we get paid by the hour of active time online. So I’m happy to take Walmart orders because they take so long.
I make roughly 450 to $520 working Sundays from start to finish.. until Uber kicks me off... Mind you it cost me about $45 Canadian in gas to make that.. and I don't eat all day. I don't stop.. which turns out to be roughly 48 trips to 54 trips.. I try to beat my record every Sunday and I can't beat 54 trips
Good job!! Keep going!!
It's got to be tough not eating and smelling all the good food all day lol
Not the funnest strategy but I drive an hour to nice neighborhoods surrounding major cities; I'm military so my market is low income. Low income areas means less orders, stingy tippers and jerk customers.
Also, delivering on post means having to deal with gate shenanigans and driving on eggshells with the MP's.
I be so desperate for money I accept every order that pops up but that’s about to stop I think customers don’t realize that these delivery apps are a luxury to have& they should tip very well. I’ve delivered to big houses on a lake& only got 😒 $5.00.
And I don’t shop&pay AT ALL. Places be out of what the person wants the customers never answers the phone. One last thing. Night driving is the worst in the south these people are clueless and NEVER turn their porch lights on. 😡😡😡😡
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.
1,000 % agree with EVERYTHING you wrote!
Hello, I just started Uber Eats 3 weeks ago. One question I have is what app may I use if any, to log miles driven, costs of gas and other equipment for tax purposes?
Stride is free.
@@maliisadrable5994 Nice, thank you!
We are in Lexington, KY, and been doing UE for not quite a month-never seen a surge pay OR stacked bonuses-never seen ANY bonus!
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.
On those, I usually wait around for a pickup back to my area. But I only accept them if I know it's a hot zone.
@@theartfullynk6618 Good idea. I guess it depends on the area. There's a big difference between the sticks and a bedroom community with a power strip area, you know?
This video helped alot! I just applied to Uber Eats recently and I will be keeping these tips in mind!
Today was my first day and my first order was a stack order. It locked me out and I had no idea what was going on. I felt that was awful. Don't like stack orders but hopefully when I get better, it will be easier.
I'm starting uber delivery part-time as a side hustle and I get the feeling its going to be fairly profitable based on the videos I've watched and research I've done. I'm based smack dab in the center of a good sized city. A mall, the two biggest grocery stores in town, and dozens of restaurants are all within like 2 miles of me. W
Denver UE driver here, shop n pay, much like Apple/Wal-Mart orders have great payouts, I get the amount offered, whereas, with restaurant deliveries, I only get a portion of the offered amount so for me, I tend to do a lot of shopnpay, as many Wal-Mart or Apple deliveries as the tips are higher. Again that may just be me but it's true so far
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.
How do you decline a trip? Have not been able to figure this out, so I've been doing these $3.00 trips with no tip and I'm so over these types of deliveries.
There’s an X up at the top right to click
Bro … you’re awesome
Driving 5 miles in Los Angeles could take 30 minutes. It might take 10 minutes in Pittsburgh.
My risk is the opposite usually, I refuse Wendy's, and dislike McDonald's in shadyside, I felt like it was slow so I took a McDonald's, ended up waiting 20 min, I was standing in front of the cashier and I was invisible, and when I did talk to someone it wasn't even started yet
Bruh I just had to wait at Wendy's for almost 30 minutes because their lobby was closed, never AGAIN
In my area McDonald’s is great! 98% Always ready with my order when i get there. And I never wait more than 15 min for an order.
Can you give an example on dollars to miles ration. I'm new to this.
If you take an order for $10 going 5 miles, you are getting $2 per mile. So basically, just look at the miles and multiply by 2 and if the pay is less don't accept the order! Hope that helps!
@@arlinelewin2469 yes it does. Thanks for the reply. Hope it helps other newbies coming into the gig business that read the comments.. i learned it the hard way hahaha.
I like your video Definetly going to watch more of your shows 😊
I have my acceptance rate at 26% , I received $2 order all the time 🥺🙄
I am curious what is the creator’s driver rating at Uber Eats, Blue Gold Platinum, Diamond ?
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 ?
I've wondered the same.
Hey! Have you used the para app or have a video on it? I'd love to know more about it. Thanks for your videos they are great!
how does proposition 22 affect my drive in california? should i take a longer trip for a lower $$ drive since prop 22 will pay for the mileage taken? thanks and hope you can answer this :)
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?
Yeah that’s been happening it regard to big pay out and food already picked up!! We gotta speak out against this
Always kfc
Thanks for the tips! Much appreciated-
I have truly been hesitant about shop and pay - I feel like that eats up too much time where I could be doing deliveries and trying for bigger tips.
For me it depends on the order. Yesterday the Walgreens Shop & Pay was 1 item and paid $14 for 2 miles. So I would say review it before you let it go.
I've seen $40 surge pay in malibu, CA on 4th of july
very decent advice
Nice video man! Loved it❤️🔥
Great video. Thank You.
thanks for sharing your knowledge.
So if you're getting a "guaranteed" amount by Uber Eats like $255 for 30 deliveries. You should go for no more than 5.6 miles per delivery if you want $1.5 per mile?
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Hello! I’m a new driver. 1) I haven’t seen any surge areas in Houston. Maybe cause we are so spread out? 2) I just signed up to deliver alcoholic drinks. I think it’s in beta in my area. Do you know anything about it? Im hoping it’ll make my tips higher.
I'm in houston too..close to Pearland area. I'm on my 4th day and liking it so far..how about you? Favorite areas to deliver?
@@kimberlymcdonald8653 Hi! I’m in Clear Lake and get sent to Pearland all the time! I do like the area, tips are average. I don’t like going North of the Beltway and East of 45S. 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. 🤷♀️
I heard there is a guy that drives everyday 12 hr shifts but only downtown and makes like $3,500 a month! I think he has a UA-cam channel… going to look him up!
Oh I should mention that sometimes google maps just completely gives the wrong directions! It’s the weirdest thing! But the UE app does a good job!
@Ann G I hate to be pessimistic, but $3500/mo is not good if you have to work 12 hrs every day. It actually only comes out to $9.72/hr...this is assuming he's driving every single day, no days off.
Don't like shop and pay taxes too much time.... But, the alcohol deliveries is good.
Lol did my first uber eats drive today and encountered the virtual restaurant, I was confused for a solid 5 minutes until I called the business number hahaha
Why does it show a different amount when you get the request... and after the delivery the amount is way lower? Example: Request shows 6.. but right after you deliver it, it shows like 2 or 3.
the tip is added after an hour they can change the tip amount
@@Ohio2164 that sounds abusable
Started Uber Eats for the first time today and only drove for an hour and made over my hourly wage at my day job. I’m gonna try again tomorrow and drive for my first full day
Are you still driving? If so how is it?
Ive never seen surge pay in my market. Only on superbowl day I got quest that was it.
0:59 facts..this happens to me when I deliver orders for TGIF Fridays, it comes up as another name Conventional Chicken Wings or something. I kept getting lost missing turns I finally called the restaurant and to my surprise they answered Fridays when I called that's when I figured out it was a TGIF Fridays lol.
I'm new to Uber but I find that I can out drive Ubers directions/GPS. For instance: I get off a freeway and have a choice at a light to go straight, turn left or turn right. 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.
Damn dude, ever since I signed up for uber x and went back to uber eats, I don't even get surges anymore, just zones that say it's busy here, but no surge pay anymore
Thank you! The trip radar goes so fast! Is there a way to slow it down?
Saw $40 surge the other day
I never use that bag ever it messes up some of the food making it wet from steam!! I have a hot tray on the passenger seat and never had a bad review all 5 stars!! 2 years
Except if u continue to decline offers too much ur acceptance goes down, but if u take what they give you, you'll be chasing gas to even make money, .... I believe this is because to the pick up location is not factor when it should be especially if you get there and they cancel the order, you're not paid🤨
Hello people on the comments, help me pls. I just started doing this and I want to know when the best times (Dallas,Tx) to do Uber eats. Any easy tricks to get paid more?
I don't live in Texas, but I follow the standard peak hours defined in the app. 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. That is typically when the most orders come through. Plus, you earn more points during those hours towards your UBER Eats Pro where the points determine if you're Gold, Platinum, and Diamond status.
I just started to do UE and none of this info applies to my area. I only do this for 4-5hrs a day. All I’ve been getting is $3 to $9 dollars for 6 plus miles pushing out of any near restaurants. Please help
try neighborhoods thats a bit far from restaurants
Red Robin is Mr.Beast burger in my area in Rockford Illinois
How do I directly change my app to just do Uber eats; sometimes the driver app, it offers me chances to pick up food but most of the time it doesn’t.
been waiting for uebar eats viodeo thanks!
oh my I accepted a Mr Beast and then couldn't find it!! it kept taking me to a street with no "Mr Beast" sign of course, why don't they note that it's in (name of actual restaurant)???!!!! I found out Just Wing it is inside Chille's! how would you know though, makes no sense.
My market doesn’t show where the heat is . Btw what is surge area ? I was sitting in surge area but I didn’t get any orders for an hours
I noticed that this weekend. Uber eats said surge pay $2 but I only got $1.50.
I wonder about Uber Eats delivery. I had an offer pop up for $25+ for a 40 minute delivery. Unfortunately I didn’t take a screenshot of this but after delivering to customers who were 15 miles away (bad decision) I find out that my total was only $12+. Any suggestions on the scenario of high restaurant zone/alley pickup but delivering to customers in low restaurant zones?? I might be answering my own question, but any customer beyond 5 miles from the high restaurant zones, it’s not worth driving.
Could have been a tip which is added an hour after delivery
I got paid $39 picking up one item at a Safeway. It cost $5 and some change. 2 Bic lighters. Delivered it to a very upscale neighborhood at 230 in the morning...
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.
has anyone ever lost a trip request during navigation to a delivery? itll keep ringing the sound but the info goes away.....any idea how to find or recover that request screen/window? support was absolutely no help.....thanx
I just stated Uber eats again, I would like to make 100.00 a week. I did it today and made 25.00 for two hours but the deliveries were so far. I burned this up in gas. Do you think 100.00 a week is realistic? Thank you for your tips.
My friend follow his tips I being doing what he said and in hour and 20min I already have $70 I usually make 380 a week only 17 hours online
Yeah a $100 on a Saturday
I can make around 500 a week but I'm in Dallas.
Thank you. 🙏
I signed up for shop and pay but Its never worked for me. All the card swipe were declined. Also I had a pickup issue that I need help with. I arrived to pick up a order at Jack in the box before midnight. They inform me that they stop Uber eats orders at 9 pm.... Best way to handle that?
Call customer support. They'll most likely call the restaurant to confirm that they're unable to fulfill customer's order. CS will cancel it. Ask CS to get paid for your time going to the restaurant. Probably $3.
