      ​​​@@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 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.

    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!

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

  • @kr4awkr4aw5

    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.

    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'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.

    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'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 am new to your channel so I don't know if you have covered it but the thing plaguing me the most right now is these low super low orders. Like $2 low. I recently saw on another channel to just not accept them which is a temporary almost fix, but any insight on that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for the tips Mike! I've had issues determining what the surge is for when both Uber Eats and UberX are activated on the app. It would be helpful to know because if it's for Uber Eats then I would turn off UberX for a while, or the other way around. I asked customer support about this issue and they said if you see a surge then it is for both UberX and Uber Eats. We had a $12 surge one time so I signed into Uber eats only and I received standard pay. From experience, do you have any knowledge as to how to differentiate what the surge is for? Or was the customer service representative right?

    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.

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.

      Well you didnt get a reply from mike but personally it all depends on how high a mile/cash it is. If it takes you into the middle of nowhere with no businesses you basically have to drive back to a new business zone and if you don't know the business zones that well you have to drive back to the one you were in. In that case double the miles and ask is this delivery still 2.00 a mile or whatever bar you set to accept your deliveries. if not don't accept but if it was a really lucrative delivery then it is worth it to take the hit

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?

    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 ?
