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 :)

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!

I started with doordash making over 300 a week a week not putting in a bunch of time. But I've noticed in the past two months they have been giving out such low paying offers with no significant tips.. I switch to Uber and then making a lot more money and tips are usually higher than stated especially if you do make a personal contact effort. They do try to drag you into other areas so I have to be careful about driving too many miles for the money I'm getting. I like that Uber let you do your job where doordash bugs the crap out you which I found stressed me out. I only work Friday night through Sunday which makes me very happy with the money I'm making. I have learned how to control the drag to other areas by just turning myself off until I get back to where I want to work 👍

I started out doing both Uber and DD but found that I always had some kind of issue with DD (canceled orders, difficult customers, navigation issues), but Uber seems to go pretty smooth. I just started doing the same thing with going off line when I find myself getting pulled into areas that I'm not too fond of. After reading your post, I'm a little less reluctant to do so. I was under the impression that when you do that, it counts against you somehow. A lot of the tip issues in this video and in other comments so far seem irrelevant in my case. Whatever the customer tips, Uber uses to pay me. The only tips I've been able to keep are when customer tip an amount that is well above what the order amount was. I thought DD got in trouble a few years ago over this, but it seems both DD & Uber are still doing it. Their defense is that it compensates for when a customer doesn't tip. This practice supposedly stems from the practice restaurants use by putting out a tip jar that their employees split, instead of being tipped directly.

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.

There are also mileage apps, which can track your drives, or allow you to enter mileage manually (which can get tedious if you're not doing it as you are working).

So I would say take a few of these trips every so often. So they don't hire more drivers.

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.

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?
@YourDriverMike4 жыл бұрын
Hello, thanks for watching. If the restaurant was unable to finish the order because of the outage I would inform my customer and cancel the order. It's probably best practice to also let DD know and ask for a payout as I've invested time to go to the restaurant. DD would probably still send drivers orders however unless enough drivers send them a head ups

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.
@YourDriverMike3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for commenting sgonged, true your vehicle is depreciating regardless but the issue with gig driving is it may reach 'end of life' a lot faster than normal 10k mile/year driving. So it may not always be about resale value but just the longevity of the asset.

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.

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.

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.

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.
