Beginners Guide to Deliveroo and how to start making Money
มุมมอง 26K4 ปีที่แล้ว
An introduction into how you can sign up to Deliveroo or UberEats, what the process is and how you can start making deliveries and start earning some money. Check out my instagram here: another dave / . . . . . #Deliveroo #Riders #DeliverooRiders #Bicycle #RideBikes #RideBikesBro #London #LondonCyclist #Lockdown
Hello bro how to open my blocked acaunt delivery please ❤
Beautiful video! It shows it was made with a lot of effort
Impressive
delivery driver in shepherds bush :O
Good advice . I'd add that wearing high visibility clothing will improve your safety
Going through a red light is not a clever thing to do and this is what gives bycicle riders a bad name on the road
I have applied in deliveroo and waiting so long to start my Rider application as I got all the equipments and done with background check but waiting so long to activate my account. Can anyone tell please how long does it take to activate the account???
How come you stopped making videos?
I moved and work got crazy, definitely going to make some more soon they're super fun to make!
@@AnotherDaveYT will wait for that 😀
Very Nice Video
For me London is hard to navigate by bicycle especially if you are new to the place, unacceptable automobiles on the road that will distract you. London needs to lessen more automobiles on its road for it to be more pleasing and safer for vulnerable road users.
Thank you, this was very helpful
Great tips.🤗☕
Signed up recently hoping they get back too me soon 👏🏼
yeah mate! it better then nothing 👌🏼😉
Would love to cycle in London, all those flat roads and cycle lanes are just amazing. I live in South Wales, the bit with the mountains, nothing but steep hills of course and no cycling lanes (unless you want 'off road'). I'm very envious !
One thing i wish i knew when i first started cycling, is the cost! 🤯 It can really ramp up quickly. Bike, tyres, inner tubes/spares, tools, locks, helmet, clothes, lights and more. Starting from scratch, you will not have these to hand so will need to buy some additional items other than the bike itself. Helmet, lock and lights are the bare minimum to add. Some spares, a mini tool, pump and tyre levers are next. Not to mention if you go down the lycra route. 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸
Its a nice side hustle and you get to excercise while getting paid 🤙🏾
Only thing worth cycling on in London is the road out.Preferably in a northerly direction without looking back. Toilet.
After seeing the quietest route having navigation: That fastest route@0:52, is it by helicopter, or extreme parkour? O and I agree: You should cycle in London. I've been, those Santander bikes everywhere are great for tourists!
What happens if I sign up as a rider and use my car instead?
ever find out?
I love Deliveroo. I enjoy visiting different restaurants and meeting new people at the different restaurants I am assigned to pick up orders from. Many restaurant staff are nice people, you can have a 2 minute conversation with them which makes the job more sociable and enjoyable. When the order notifications pops up on the app and shows the earnings for the job, it gives me sense of dopamine because it's like as if though I've won money. Also you get to travel in different areas, familiarise yourself with your local + extended neighbourhood and borough (you get to know about any new developments and experience the different social structures and demographics in the various areas you commute to whilst making drops), get some cardio done, get plenty of fresh air, build friendly relationships with other riders; and getting paid for all that!
Do you get an hourly wage? Or just like £3 per delivery
You get paid per delivery based on distance. Most of my deliveries are around the £4-£6 per delivery.
@@AnotherDaveYT thanks mate 👍🏻
Depends on time and distance of drop to customer. Lowest you will get is £2.90 But busy and promotion times you will make £4-£8
Great video
If you have a deathwish, than cycle in London.
Statistically it's more dangerous to cycle on rural & suburban roads than in central London as traffic speeds are lower. In 2020, 7 London cyclists were killed, 31 motorcyclists & 45 pedestrians... The health benefits far outweigh the small risk. Cyclists live longer than the general population.
love your vibe man
I don't live in London or even the UK now, but I commuted from West Hampstead to South West London every day. I bought a London Cycling map and a GT Outlook mountain bike which was reduced in price and off I went. This was way back in 1997. Rainy weather was a worry as car drivers can't see so well and cycling in a bus lane behind a bus not too nice, breathing in warm fumes, yuk. The highlights of the journey were, getting chased by a policeman through Hyde Park at 7am and cycling across Hammersmith Bridge which was closed to cars. I didn't wear Lycra or a helmet, just Ron Hill cycling trousers and a yellow cycling jacket. Not too many cyclists then, sometimes I was the only bike on the road. I loved it, don't know what I enjoyed more, cycling on the quiet streets or cycling past 50 or so cars queuing at junctions. Still got the bike and an even older one I bought in 1986.
Great video 💯 ❤️
Speaking of hidden gems... your channel is one of them!
Hello I m delevroo Rider in Dubai very good company delevroo
How much you get paid? And do you use bicycle or car ?
How much is the kit for new riders?
It's free. You can buy more or replacements from their shop if you need them but they send you all of it for free to start with.
@@AnotherDaveYT can you use the waze app with the deliveroo app or is it best use deliveroo app for navigation?
@@scott2495 once you've collected the order from the restaurant, the app will show the directions on its app. But there is a button (green colour circle with an arrow), if you tap that, you will be directed to google maps or your default map app. If you select wazz as your default map app, then pressing that green circle icon will switch to wazz app. It's good to use external map apps, as the Deliveroo app map doesn't give notifications about when to make turns etc.
Really cannot fathom why this channel isn't bigger. as someone who's just moved to London and getting into cycling it's perfect, and very interesting. Please keep making more Dave! It would be such a waste for you to stop now. If there's any music you'd like to use from my channel (for free!!!) then I'd be honoured for it to be used in one of your videos. Practise makes perfect, keep going!! You have a great channel here.
Thank you so much !!!! Got all the infomation I needed!
I've just been accepted and waiting my kit to arrive! This video was so helpful at showing me what to expect thankyou! I've signed up for cyclist mode but I'm not very fit but figured I will only get better at it through doing it right? Hoping to earn some money and get fit too as a side hustle. I was just wondering though whether you have to keep accepting orders and work for a set amount of time or can you work at your own pace and build it up (for example only do one order on my first shift and build it up to take on more orders each day?). Also can you see how far you'll be going/money you'll earn from it before you accept or is it just pot luck? Thankyou!
Ooh so exciting. Yes you can work as much or as little as you like. The first time I tried it I just went out for 2 hours to see if I could get any orders and also work out where is best to position yourself. You can just log off of the app whenever you want to stop taking orders. When you are cycling none of the orders should be that far away. When it first alerts you, it will show you how far away the restaurant is. In my experience it's usually very close to where you currently are as they want you to pick up the food when is fresh out of the oven. Then once you say that you've arrived at the restaurant it will show you where to drop off and give you a distance. Good luck, you will definitely get fitter surprisingly quickly.
I’ve just completed the form. How much do they give per order ?
You know red lights apply to you as well
how could I download the app and start work?
You can download the Deliveroo Rider app at any time but it's only useable once you've been accepted by Deliveroo.
What do the delivery apps like UberEats give you as login details? The email address or mobile phone nr. you signed up with and a password? Or something else?
Is it necessary that you use the SIM card of the mobile phone nr. that you gave up when you signed up for the delivery app to login the app and do your orders with? Or can you also use another SIM card of another mobile phone nr. ? (eg because that SIM card has more monthly internet data allowence for example)
If you have option to insert 2 sim cards on your phone, just select "use data" from the sim that has most data.
Thanks so much for posting this video! I learned so much from this. I’ve been interested in working for deliveroo as my first job.
When you sign up to the delivery apps and you choose a certain area, can you then only work in that area or can you work in the whole of the UK?
Yes you can. In the top right of the rider app there is a switch zone button. I think it defaults to wherever you originally signed up to but you can switch to any area you are currently in.
Well shot and edited video, I've been deliveroo for about 6 months and I love it too as a sideline to my full-time job, pick your own hours no one breathing down your neck. I think as a full-time gig it wouldn't be great unless you had really low living costs and needed the flexibility.
Do you need a delivery license or any sort of license to start delivering. I want to start delivering with my bike
Great video.. do you have a gpx file?

2:05 well no actually, it is impossible to puncture solid Tannus tyres which is why I use them for commuting around London. Plus there is no need to pump them up periodically like the pneumatic versions or keep a repair kit with you while riding.
What kind of insurances do you need when doing food delivery? Does this differ depending on whether you deliver on a bike, ebike, scooter, motor or car? Why is there even a food delivery insurance? What are the things it covers?
Why do they send you a kit when you sign up? Do you know what's included in the kit? Which things of the kit are mandatory to use or wear during your work shifts with Deliveroo or UberEats?
They send you kit purely because they want advertising. They want the general public to see deliveroo riders and go, oh yeah I remember they deliver food. I should order some from them. The more riders you see out in Deliveroo uniforms the more likely you are to think that your food will get delivered quickly. Also if the kit is good quality and clean then people will think it's a well run and clean company. All that being said, they don't force you to wear the kit. You don't have to any many people don't. I like it. It's very good quality stuff and super reflective so keep you nice and safe at night.
How do you check how far away the customer is (distance from the resutrant)
You don't know until you pick up the food. The app will notify you where the restaurant is. In my experience the restaurants are usually really close to where you are and then the delivery distances to the recipients can vary quite a lot, but the further the distance, the more money you get for it.
Hows it going 6 months on
3:28 Did you not see the red light?
Thought I was the only one that saw it 😁
He probably did see it... TIME IS MONEY!
I put my commute start and end points into city mapper and if gave me a time of 167 minutes. My usual time is between 90 and 105 minutes.
If you don't own a home you could move closer and ditch your car if you own one, the cheaper commute will make up for the higher rent, and the bigger public space will make up for the smaller appartements.
Do you need money before you start or does deliveroo pay for the orders and you just deliver them ?
You just deliver the orders and get paid for deliveries. You have to pay for nothing yourself apart from your own bike and phone
I've been commuting by bike for 5 years now (this past year doesn't fully count, though) ... never had a puncture. I also used to go long rides in the countryside every few weeks. Always keep the tyres pumped and avoid gutters and glass on the road... I don't know if my tyres were puncture-resistant (i have 32mm Continental ContactPlus tyres), but surely getting tyres that are doesn't hurt! In those years I went from afraid to get on a bike (even in a park, let alone on roads) to being so comfortable around the traffic, I don't even give it a second thought.
👊
Great post mate. I'm going to start a cycling course to get me confident to riding on the road. I'm in East London and all I need is confidence around the traffic. So I hope it helps. You sound like you have overcome any fears. Want to ride at night as well. Can I ask? How long did it take for you to be confident riding on the roads. Also, is riding at night difficult?
@@mrmrmarcus6969 not long really! I think i know the course you’re talking about (is it the one provided by the council?). I did that. There were 2 levels, and they really helped. I think i was lucky that when i started commuting, about half my route was on a dedicated cycle lane. But really i found that it wasn’t bad at all being around cars. All the horror stories you see online, i didn’t experience any of them! Try riding on weekend mornings, usually there’s less traffic (and you’re not rushing to get anywhere). Knowing your route well also helps you ride comfortably. And at any junction you feel uncomfortable/unsafe, you can simply get off the bike, cross on foot then get back on! Good luck with it all (and enjoy it) 😊
@@mrmrmarcus6969 riding at night i just find you need to focus more to find your way. Just make sure you’re visible (lights + bright colours). Most London streets i find are well lit. It’s the rain that i think needs a bit of experience (need more braking distance, not easy to use your phone for navi and less visibility usually)… but you also get there. Eventually you get caught in the rain and you get the hang of it.
@@khazza930 Mate, thanks for the good advice. When I'm confident riding in the middle of the road in the city and central London, I know I've cracked cycling. Want to ride from East London to West London also. Again, thanks!!
