Apps like Doordash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats all provide a way for more workers to earn money and more restaurants to offer delivery services. How exactly do they work, and how much do they pay?
Uber Eats is a food delivery service that is available around the world. Restaurants can sign up for their services to provide delivery services to their hungry customers.
By signing up for the service, they can either remove the need for a dedicated delivery employee or simply offer delivery service that otherwise was not possible for them.
As another bonus to restaurants, by signing up for services like Uber Eats, they can now market themselves to a much wider audience by simply being on the App or paying to advertise on it as well.
On the other side, when you sign up for Uber Eats as a customer, you have a wide selection of nearby restaurants to choose from in the palm of your hand.
If you meet all the requirements for the vehicle of your choice, you’re now ready to sign up as an Uber Eats driver! As an Uber Eats driver, you’ll be able to make your hours when you want to deliver and when you don’t.
For each successful delivery, you’ll get paid the flat rate specified when you accept the delivery. In most cases, drivers will receive a per-mile rate as well.
You can earn more for deliveries that likely take longer by obtaining a per-mile rate. In addition to the per-mile rate, there will be a per minute rate added on a well in some cities.
After factoring in all the payments above and subtracting expenses, like gas, most uber eats drivers earn between $8 to $12 per hour. Of course, earnings can vary depending on your area.
