⚡️Find out what it's like driving for Uber Eats from another driver, my brother Matt in Pittsburgh, PA here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n81ge7WdqtCwYYk.html

I'll add another tip which I believe really helps increase...tips. Keep a stapler in your car to seal orders that the restaurant neglects to seal. The Wendys in my town does not seal anything and it blows my mind. I would be very annoyed if I was the customer, knowing the driver can snag a few fries out of my order. This eliminates the customer suspecting us of tampering with the food and makes them feel much better. And when they feel better, the better the odds of them tipping :)

I’m still learning how to choose my deliveries wisely. I use to wait 30 to 40 minutes at restaurants for a $5.00 order. Now I do not take less then a $7.00 order.

No one meets you in your car, 95% of orders are leave at door

Mike the most important factors about delivering food is size of city thus deliveries, cost for you to deliver, and tips. I switched to a used electric which saved me a ton of gas money. In fact the gas savings pays for the car. Also know your areas. I often take double deliveries and one particular long run area. The reason tips. I learned what areas and pickups tip the best. Also I learned what foods that people order from tip the best. TIPS is what it is all about!

Just started a few days ago, and so far I’ve made over $150 a day driving 6 hours or less and under 80 miles

My uber eats tips are about 90%. Didn't always be that high, but with covid they seem to be more frequent. I don't know if Uber is encouraging this or something else. Without tips, Uber would suck. So I thank my customers!

I’ve been delivering for about a year and not once saw a quest. But every single day for lunch and dinner there is a pay boost. It’s funny how the incentives are so different based on location.

The other day had a $8trip for 30mntes ride after my deliveryi received a $28 tip

Had to start doing uber eats because doordash offers have gotten lower. Lots of offers under a dollar per mile.

As a Uber driver, I have been a little reluctant to sign in for promotion events concerts,games airport runs because they require the driver to wait in a certain location and wait for events to end before your service begans,while there are other rides hare customers calling for rides. You miss $ because you set and wait.

I really dont like how uber eats will say im going on a 13.50 order then at the end of the delivery only get like 5.75 H8 it!

Actually with Uber Eats(at least in LA) the sheer volume balances out the lower payouts. Plus the percentage of tipping customers after the fact is usually fairly high.

Im in the north Phoenix area. Worked Tuesday thru Sunday last week, did $1085 for 30 hours on uber eats, and $152 on door dash lol

I noticed that at Starbucks, you’ll pick up the bag by their handle and the seal rips open. Carry by the bottom or have them double sticker it.

I've done close to 100 orders and one thing i've learned is communicating with your customer is key to receive a higher tip. Let them know if there's a wait etc. I also don't take anything less than $5 and that could be market specific and if i know it's lunch i might do it but if it's dinner im hesitating because i could miss out on a $15+ order easily. ALSO DONT FORGET YOUR UBER CARD!

I just started work in NYC and not one customer has ever come up to the car. They always make me go up to the door or even inside buiildings... which sucks because of time/parking/ possibly getting a ticket

I never see surge zones like that 😨 my maps are just blank until I get an order.

I just started this week to make extra money. The NYC market is hotttttt.

Uber eats is my only option. all the other apps haven't been accepting new drivers since covid happened in my area.

Uber Eats doesn't pay enough in my area. I have no clue why. Doordash pays the best here by far.

I’ve been doing UE for 3 years. Every order since the change in payout has been $3-4 per trip including TIP! I can’t justify it, huge bummer!

I'm just starting out with Uber eats, and it has been a ride. Missing trips, payout seems less then original pop up, etc... Here's my question; When the order request pops up, it shows a total of, say $$$, but actually only receiving portions of these payments. So, what's is a service fee? And why is it so high? Customer payment $12.68 - service fee $5.16 - Your pay $5.52.. Made 5-trips, for $26.. Buring more gas than earnings.

Hey guys, also watch out for including tip thing. Some customers have audacity to take it away or change it.

I always meet the driver outside, and one time the driver pulled up and him and his car were dirty. I almost asked for my money back, but the guy was still nice and I felt bad for him cuz I think he was living out of his car. Plus my order wasn't a big one, but still. So yea, a fucked up dirty car makes me question the the cleanliness of my food.

Exactly! I don't care about Uber pro. I multi apps, got a chance to pick it and making more$!! Thanks Mike 👍 for the video

The biggest value I've seen with uber pro is on diamond level you get costco gold for a year

I beg to differ on repositioning. I tried to save gas and park after each delivery and I ended up deeper and deeper into the ghetto side of town (downtown atl) over an hour away from my house. I deliver and then drive back toward good communities that tip better and are easier to drive in. 5:33

As an Eats driver who has been delivering for going on 3 years (FT) I can say that the park & wait suggestion doesnt work lol. Atleast for me I guess, and Ive worked 2 diff markets, Chicago and Denver. Sometimes that is successful if you are parked on a strip of busy restaurants, but even then, other drivers are doing the same and I would get orders that took me out of that area and back to square A. I have never had a good night by sitting somewhere, I'd be sitting for what seemed like forever. I've found that by driving the vicinity of the area I am working, I tend to pick up more dings. Yes it adds more miles, but I claim every mile I put on while on the clock come tax time. Great video though, its amazing how our experiences as drivers can be so varied!

Five guys’ bags always get steamy and then when you pull it out of your insulated bag, it can rip apart. Always have them double bag your orders! But only with paper- the plastic make the fries go soggy.

I seem to do better (at least in my area) with Postmates than with UberEats. With UberEats I got about $90 with for my first ten deliveries. And that's it. With Postmates I am getting tips added days later even when I'm not delivering. Also with Postmates the automatic updates keep adding to my route based on where I am and where I am going. I also average about 400 to 450 for just 3 days of delivering (and that's about 8 to 10 hours a day). I just started with UberEats so I'm going to continue to see how it goes. Btw thanks for the video!

Very rarely do I have a customer meet me at curbside. It's usually leave at door. Everytime I heard you say SURGE, all I could think of was Beverly Hills Cop... "Achwell, please try to say Serge, Surge?, It sounds like a detergent"lol

So strange to see these bonuses. Here in Miami I never see a heat map with colors. It's either grey when busy or white when not. Also first time in 2 months I saw a quest previous weekend. They activated it the day we were being hit my a tropical storm. Other than that money bonuses are non existent. Be happy if you are in a market that has any..... Last thing. Here in south Florida the standard fee is $3. To get anything more as a base you'll be driving more than 5 miles and down here 5 miles means multiple cities away. I also prefer to see the tip before hand. Yes at times it's bait by a dollar or two but more times than not I get more than the original amount or spot on.

I just started with Uber eats . It has been a good fit for me . I am in the learning curve but they have the cash out at the end of my driving day and that helps a lot. I am however having some thoughts on the up front payment to the customer . But they keep me busy . Those 7 things hit home with me . The Pro driver reward thing is something you have to do every month so I did not see that as a plus. I just need the money to make it to the end of the month . I would be afraid to sign up with anyone else I might get deactivated . I could not afford that.

I have had one customer meet me at my car and that's because they worked in a hospital. I have never even seen an option for meet at car when I order on Uber Eats.

Taking a $3 dollar order thinking you get tip is huge mistake.

Great tips sometimes the anxious urge to go make money makes us do.mistakes that we end up regreting at end of day

Only problem I have is that they dont count mileage properly and pay you less sometimes.. and then they take ages respond back to you enquiries(UK)

Great advice. Every tip you mentioned is as close to a proverb as you can get in this business.

Yeah points are worthless..except support priority. Also hate that app constantly changes over to points total after deliveries

Yeah the problem with talking about these topics, they are subjective based on market. San Diego, LA, SF, and other large cities can be more selective that rural areas with populations under 100k. Most orders for Uber are Leave at Door, customers seldom come to the car, but I agree, keep your car clean anyway, its speaks volumes about your work ethic.

Honestly I think there are a lot of folks out there saying to deny requests for low paying fares. But I think if everyone is doing that, it's a disservice to yourself. If everyone is denying these, then these companies are forced to hire more drivers, to cut down the wait time. More drivers means less trips for everyone which means less money. So I would say take a few of these trips every so often. So they don't hire more drivers.

I do Uber Eats in H-town and just stay in the midtown area (hot zone) and make $90 to $110 in about 7 hours. These Houstonians do tip good as well. Work the lunch rush and dinner rush you should be fine in most cities. Also, nobody cooks on Friday and Saturday nights so you can easily make $$$ between 5 pm and 9 pm.

I've been unable to even cover my debts. A veteran here. So many dymamics

Im very disappointed with Uber Eats here in South Beach they started paying 2.50 per delivery and now customers have one hour to change the tip. What is up with that Uber?

hi I have tried uber eats delivery and I love it. I myself don't go for low ones like $5 and under. but I can't even be on Doordash. I'm on a waiting list

Last night I made an extra$20.00 because I drove an extra 15 minutes. That area also tips better. More expensive restaurants mean more tips$$ Door Dash has the cheapest non tipping customers. So I'm only using U. E. I'm jumping from early afternoon untill 9:00 P.M. Tipps are better Friday- Sunday. I won't take an order under $10.00. No Mc Donald's or Juice orders. They tend to be kids using the app. They'll offer a huge tip to get you to drive 15 miles to drop off a juice. They then take back tge tip. what happened last weekend to one of the Uber drivers on my Facebook group tipped him a dollar after baiting them to do the long drive with a fat tip.

I have not had any surge pay in Denver Colorado

What are your thoughts on potential tip baiting with UberEats’ ability to let the customer edit their tip up to an hour after the drop off?

Uber eats in tampa is busy busy busy I never wait more then 2 or 3 mins for a offer 24 hours a day 7 days a week .. Always make 200 to 300 everyday and I work 7 days a week usually around 75 hours

so uber eats customers come to your car??? is this something new? never heard this before... thanks

I’m getting really irritated with Uber I would message them a dozen times about this there is a problem with me receiving surges and promotions they said there is a known problem and they are trying to fix it but nothing has been fixed and it’s been over a month I had surges all the time constantly and now they’re gone absolutely nothing and I’m getting pissed off at them this is ridiculous any tips on how to fix this

What irks me is when the restaurant pin in wrong. We pick up the food and drive another mile to the pin sometimes in the wrong direction. Uber says to tell the manager to fix it but the manager says Uber needs to fix it. My time gets wasted. If I have a milkshake, I have to go to the pin first then go get the food so it’s not melting.

Dude I had to quit. idk if they are favoring newbies but my app is completely dead. I had to go back into a regular job.

Problem with doordash my area is full of dd drivers and they won’t even let me pass the background check and say come back next time when position are open like bruh

Doing Uber Eats walker. As I noticed. Never running after boosts promo. If we see a 2,50$ or 3$ promotion I don’t run after it. It’s their way to make move drivers in busy area where not much drivers are around and never there more than 30 minutes sometimes they do it cause overflow of drivers in an area and they want to reduce the amount of drivers in a same area

Thank You. You have helped me in many ways.

It's hard to pull off and you really have to know your area but occasionally I been able to complete uber eats and doordash deliveries simultaneously. If you're in an area where pickup to deliver destinations are close (1 to 2 miles total). Most times if its slow. Like Mike said its good to have multiple apps especially when it's slow.

Doing Uber Eats walker in Montreal city. Always starting at same spot then. Following the way that orders will bring me and most of times it’s one after one. For the rapidity of my deliveries. Have a very good knowledge of the area so I know all shortcuts. Many times more efficient by walking than doing by car. Having my left side hand paralyzed and use to wear medical scrub top. All pockets are very useful. So a loose beverage that come with orders can be hold in one of these pockets. In average I have 95% of my trips that getting a tip. I understand that when they order only on item it can happen to get no tip. No expenses for a vehicle so I don’t mind. With Uber we have meet at the door and leave at the door,when I have to leave it at the door,I’m staying around to make sure that I can see the client picking up his order..happen once that a raccoon pops up from a bush and grab the order just before client appear at door porch. I never run after surges. Most of times when I get in surges it’s cause I’m already in the area. By the time you get there it’s gone. I’m doing only Uber Eats. Cause door dash require at least a bike and can’t ride on bike with my left side half out of order 😂. My bag are good to fit most of the orders in. In about a year, it’s happened only once that order was too big. When receiving orders it show you approximately where it going and if you have a double,it’s appear a little (2) on the request. I use to do it in Montreal downtown. I had a try in another city where was no walkers and I had request over the 2 km limits that programmed in the apps. So we need be more careful before accepting an order. That’s the good point with Uber. Even if you’re in another city but in same country it will work.

I don’t accept orders with a duration higher than 15 minutes, is that bad? I feel like its almost driving out an area & uses more mileage.

Uber Pro gives you free roadside assistance. Those satisfactory points alongside Uber pro gives you free ish which comes in handy when you’re thinking about car maintenance or just sitting somewhere doing nothing til Uber generates something.

It’s pays more to focus on one I get weekday and weekend promotion weekday I can get between 300-800 for doing 100 trips and 200-600 for doing 80 trips on weekends

Thanks for the advice! Good tips

Slightly off topic but I am curious what you would do in this situation. Yesterday afternoon roughly 25% of my market was effected by a power outage. While I am a customer and not a driver, if you as the driver are waiting at a restaurant and the power went out, what would you do? Also, if it was in the middle of the block/dash/shift what would your strategy be to get orders?

I enjoyed your video! Thanks!

I'm frustrated that gas prices will eat into my profits. Do you have any tips about that??

They are screwing the drivers I took a 10 dollar trip and when I hit the Delivered button to pay was only eight dollars

I hate to break it to you...wear and tear on a vehicle is a NON ISSUE. I don't know why people think this way about a car. Cars are going to zero like every liability you put money into. If you don't drive your car it's a waste. All cars get another year older every year so just drive the car. If you think your car is going to be worth more then you sell it...wrong again. Look at the cost of a car with 150k miles and 120k miles it's like $1200 bucks. Are you driving your car for 6 years in HOPES you get that 1200 back?!? Just use the car like the tool it is and don't think about the miles or re-sale.

Main reason for accepting low base pay orders is because with a low acceptance rate they can deactivate your account

I have a hard time understanding ue app. I got so confused how to use it I just started it. I got so nervous

I'm in florida I havent seen surge in florida

I don't understand the tax part of it when you do your taxes and miles and gas? ...

I never see Uber eats map heat up I’m a driver for DoorDash as well and they always show hot spots. I’ve never seen Uber eats with extra peak time pay. So could I be looking at the map wrong?

I have over 1000 deliveries. Trust me when i say this.... drive late at night. Late late

I do only ubereats on my bicycle. When the weather gets cold and snowy I'll just sit in the house with my app on and wait for deliveries that are only 1-2 miles. In total i am only "working" for like 2 hours, throughout the day but i can easily make $80 without any real effort

HI, I KNOW THIS VIDEO IS 2 YEARS OLD. I RECENTLY APPLIED FOR UBER EATS IN LOS ANGELES. I WENT ONLINE FRIDAY FOR LUNCH AND DINNER TIME... AND SADLY I DID NOT GET ORDER PICKUPS... AND I LIVE NEAR A POPULATED FAST FOOD PLACE. LIKE SUBWAY, WINGSTOP, YOSHINOYA, MCDONALDS, TACO BELL, CHIK-FIL-A.... AND I SWEAR NOTHING APPEARED FOR ME.... AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG??? I DETELED THE APP, REINSTALL IT.. NOTHING... I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES AND IM DOING UBER ON AN EBIKE... THANK YOU

This is some dumb advice, you should never pick and chose your deliveries, do them all, you have no idea who's on the other side and what kind of tip you are going to receive. plus uber keeps 35% of the fare as a service fee, tips are 100%. maximize tips, do all the deliveries. I avg $28-$30/hour driving Uber Eats and I never decline an order... ever.... unless its mcdonals.

Hey, I picked up a Starbucks order and when I got to their address, I had realized it was leaking from the bag all over my car seat. I tried calling support but they never picked up. I ended up canceling the delivery but now I have the order and I’m not sure what to do.

Great tips! I've been trying to start with Uber Eats but I am unable to do so, they (their automated system) keeps rejecting my vehicle registration stating that it is expired, which is not the case, my registration is valid until January of 2022, I've tried contacting them but no luck, phone support is unavailable and all I get is the same responses, I need to renew it and re upload a valid registration! How can I renew something that it is still valid? so frustrating, not sure what else to do but to use a different app, gonna start Postmates tomorrow and see how it goes.

Thanks Mike. Your videos are really helpful! And I have a question wanna ask since i am new to ubereats(only driving for 3 months). In my apps I don't see the points(uber eats pro) field showing up. Do i need to sign up for that or is there any criteria i need to meet? i'm in San Diego area too. thanks!

today UE cancelled a trip after I delivered the food, paid me the delivery fee, and did NOT pay me my tip.

I think the number 1 thing Uber eats drivers do is, driving a car I do it by bike and some times a car with family when the weather is really bad and I can see the time difference between a bike and a car delivery time. Bike can cut corners, back streets and that can save minutes and then mean more orders.

What you don't chase the surge with the $1 or higher at times along with the boost? As they are in the boost of a 2.3 with no surge but it's just very busy in that area?

I like ubereata a lot. I find myself getting more orders and more money than in doordash but it has to do with the city I am in. I live in Orlando and peak pay should be higher but they only give $1 and i should receive lots and lots of orders but it is kind off lame in here :/

It has to be different for every state or area. I’m in Las Vegas and within 5 mins of going online I have multiple orders. I always get orders while I’m still working on the first and I still have yet to be waiting on an order to come through. Made $130 in 6 hours today. I’m only saying this bc Doordash isn’t accepting any new drivers, and I tried Postmates for a week and was sitting around 50% of the time. The most I ever made after hours was $40. So definitely different by region I’d say.

Has he made an updated version of this info yet? Just about all of my deliveries are leave at door.

I really doubt the customer is inspecting your vehicle and waiting outside in the street for you to arrive.. thats why we bring the order to the door… i am doing uber eats because i can bring my dog with me and i dont expect that anyone will ever know.

UE gps needs an upgrade badly it’s sux

I don't see that on the UberEats app as I switch to drive Uber rides I see on there.

I Work for Grubhub but they temporarily Suspended my account they will pause ⏸ your account easly ,but I love working 4 Uber eats

So how do u deliver in Downtowns areas ? u can't park there.....and it's the only area that uber eats marks in dark grey, not even red.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and education with such wonderful clarity. I can hardly wait to get started!

hey Mike, what exactly do you mean when you say you have to meet at least $1 per mile? I’m going to start delivering soon and wanted to know why exactly this is important. Do you mean the number of miles have to be less equivalent to how much you’re getting paid?

I've only had one meet at the car order but the customer wasn't even at home when I got there. 🙄

Does anyone use the subscription app that automatically switches between Uber and Lyft for example.....starts with an M....Munuver maybe?? I'm very curious to learn if it's really worth it. I drive for those plus Uber Eats but I often get simultaneous requests unless I am careful to turn off the other app.

Great tips. Just signed with Uber Eats. Can you do a video on tips for Multi Apping? I now have DD, GH, and UE. Thx

Door dash will allow me 2 hours shifts my numbers are high and nvr run for Uber points they come in no matter what I get over 1k a month never try to get them just make money

thanks

Sir I can't go online Uber drive apps...what should we do....?

Any advice for UberEATS in Myrtle Beach?
