I have a question do they really pay you for completing the recommended trips lets say they want you to complete 15 trips for $75 extra dollars on what you already made. do you really get that $75 extra dollars?
I was deactivated for no reason I emailed them but no response I had to talked to a friend who once had same issues and was referred to *granthacks* on !nsta within some minutes my account was reactivated he is the best✅
Look. I park in front of 3 restaurants and time goes by and I get no delivery requests. What gets me upset is when I driver coming up to the restaurants to pickup a order. So this theory about hanging near the restaurant doesn't work 100 %
@Rikki Jo I park to just in front of the restaurant. Sometime I get the order from that restaurant right away, which, the distance from the trunk to the restaurant entrance is just 3 metres. However, in some situation, the drivers who park further away from me get the orders, and I get nothing at all.
Didn't you watch the video lol uber says they pick the people that are at a distance thats based on when the food is ready by the time you get there ..basically drive everywhere and all around the area you want go close then go far away from it...in hindsight it doesn't matter its all bullshit anyways the system will pick you based on who much you have been making all week
I also think that most likely the majority of drivers you see showing up to pick up a delivery are probably not even Uber Eats drivers but in fact DoorDash drivers. DoorDash deactivated me over false information found on a background check and I really hate their background checking company for screw me over like this, but I was making between $120 to $200 daily working for DoorDash. I can barely make $50 a day with Uber Eats. It's not possible. In my hometown of Santa Rosa it was so easy to make good money with Doordash when you account for Santa Rosa and the surrounding area. With Uber it's impossible. I had the drive 2 hours south to San Jose to actually make money with Uber. That's not sustainable
I feel like he laid out all you can lay out. The way orders are created and sent to deivers encourages you to be in close proximity to resturants so that when the order pops you are more likely to be chosen. So the strategy is to try and make sure that you are staying in close proximity to resturant-filled areas during downtime and making sure that any deliveries that take you far away from those hotspots are financially worth the gas money and time spent driving all the way back to the hotspot
I’ve been doing similar the last few days and it’s worked out really well for me. If I don’t have an order waiting after a drop off, I head to a nearby parking lot that I know is near a good area with busy restaurants and just sit and wait. Usually not too long to see some offers come in. Biggest problem lately is it’s mostly all 2-3 bucks for 6-8 mile fast food orders so having to decline a lot to get to anything with worthy dollar to mile. Thanks for the vids and all the great info! 👍🏻
Uber has been difficult lately and it’s affecting drivers, restaurants and customers. Whenever an issue comes up Uber does not communicate between all parties and it can be pretty frustrating. I’ve had to apologize to so many customers lately for things that are out of my control.
Uber definately throttles the pay for drivers who made "too much" I worked a work week of 12 hours and made $480 thanks to big tippers and at a certain point I stopped getting big orders then eventually stopped getting orders (I mean literally driving around for 30 minutes in a surge zone before getting offered a $5 order). Lets not mention the fact that I get $5 orders while driving in a $3 surge zone. Which means NO TIP and the base pay was TWO DOLLARS. Comon man.
Here’s a non related tip. If a restaurant has an excessive wait time, call support to cancel. It won’t count against you and you’ll get a few bucks for the inconvenience
Yea I've received the inconvenience fee. It was a 28$ order that I had to cancel due to the restaurant being closed. They gave me a 3$ fee. It's not much but the pickup and drop-off was on my way home anyway so no gas lost!
Considering how rare it is to ever receive an Uber Eats request, canceling the order is just a terrible idea because then you're going to wait forever just to receive another request and all you got was that cancellation fee for canceling the other one when you would have made a lot more money to deliver it even if you have to wait
^ ^ ^ ^TRUE FACTZ! When my acceptance rate was at 95%, I was getting orders left-&-right, ...I declined less than 10 orders and my acceptance rate dropped to the low 80-percentile range. Now I hardly get any orders at all. Will be online for several hours without any offers. This started happening about a year ago, ...maybe a year and some change....The definitely did something to the algorithm that completely assassinated bike delivery.
I've noticed I keep getting orders for nearby restaurants but the customer is on the opposite side of town and they have the same restaurant closer to them.
UE makes more $ by added on, double order, and stacked order. They pay less to driver. That's why we get customers from opposite side of town. This happens with franchise restaurants only. They pick the location, not by the customer. They tricked me twice today. $15 for 2 orders. 1st one was 2milea away (10.50), 2nd one was 8 miles away( 4.50). And stupid I am. I picked another one. It was worse. 1st one was easy, but 2nd one ended up top of mountain estate house 9 miles away, took me almost an hour, bc GPS couldn't locate the address, it guided me going around circle for 30 mins.
I got zero delivery the minute the weather got nice. I went from making $120 a day to 0. The past 3 weeks I try the morning, the afternoon and the night. Crazy thing is… I’m not the only one experiencing this. The city I delivered from always busy but now it feels like people are not ordering. I tried other cities near by and nothing. And I’m doing this on an electric bike. I got to see what other gigs I could do other than ubereats.
People are all flocking to courier services because they don’t want actual jobs with bosses. This is the downside of that. They also throttle orders and it’s obvious. All services do this in my opinion. But giving rides has been consistent money from what I’ve seen in my area anyhow. People don’t want others in their car as much as they want to be left alone, so there are far less rideshare drivers than delivery drivers.
@@justinwoodward3413 That's pretty poor attitude because those guys could be making a guaranteed 150 a day and then do Uber as a side hustle to top up their wages as it was intended.
Do you have AT&T because if so that’s the actual problem. I’ve noticed a friend who also does delivery apps can be in the same room as me and they get orders and I never even get pinged. They don’t have AT&T tho. Att does nothing about this and I’ve lost thousands!!!!
I sit between restaurants and still wait about 30 mins. Two weeks ago I would of already hit over 4 deliveries by the time i get my 2nd. I think I wish there was a way to tell how many drivers are online and how slow it is. My app still doesnt show hotspots while in uber eats. Not sure if that's the app or just my slow old phone ha
@@kingqueen104 I do regular uber rides and I leave the uber eats on too and around 4 pm I sit for 20 minutes with rides off and if nothing pops up I turn rides back on. In my town I'm the only uber on at 530 am till almost 11. So I make my money then. But ty I'll check the others out. But my town never has the red spots like you see on other people uber app when they are on. Lol I'm jealous is all
Uber Eats used to give a great incentive it wasn’t much but if you did 5 deliveries you would get 5 dollars. That adds up each day, 5 times 5, 25 bucks per week, 100 plus per month.
@John Blze yeah it's annoying. I signed up for Cornershop and now it's order after order and making like $30/HR. BUT it's also Uber so that will probably soon change haha. It sounds like they're trying to not over hire though so people can actually make a living out of it. We'll see.
Heat maps - people needing rides at least here. Have seen 14 dollars drive there just to see nothing there but apartments. Know your area never ever chase fake maps.
It doesn’t always give you the closest chain restaurant. I this mistake when ordering McDonald’s instead of the one 2 blocks from my house it showed a further one first and I accidentally ordered from there
I deliver for Uber Eats in Tokyo. This has happened to me numerous times. I've always assumed that there are no delivery drivers near the restaurant that is closest to the customer so the order goes to another restaurant of the same chain which is further away but has delivery drivers in the vicinity of that restaurant. It usually results in a very long delivery trip for me.
not always the case I intentionally search for the one closest and it’s simply not available or offered at the given time. Some locations turn their tablet off so they don’t receive offers, some incredibly don’t participate, some I have no clue why they don’t show in the searches. And some customers simply don’t look at where they are ordering from.
I get a lot of orders in my area. The real issue is that Uber pays wayyy too little in base pay per order. If they raised their base pay up by even 2 dollars, that will change the outcome of the amount of orders people decline. I can dream... lol
My area is very slow, Grubhub and doordash are way busier and the only ones that get enough offers are the new drivers and the drivers that accept the 3s,4s and 5 dollars offers I automatically reject everything under 6 dollars I'm in California and the minimum wage is 14 dollars in my county, is a real insult to even expect drivers to accept offers under 6 dollars, only idiots accept this type of offers you have to value yourself and your car and ask yourself are you worth that little is it even worth it to move your car for 3 fken dollars ?!!
@@awakeandalive4248 Consider this: If you take an order for $10 that is 7 miles, you still want to come back to where you started from. So actually it's 14 miles. But if you take an order for $5 that's only 1.2 miles away, that's only 2.4 miles round trip and you will still be inside the area. And you're making over $2 a mile. Think about it.
@@darthphaser2991. I do consider some of the 5s when is only a mile and a half to a real easy location and from a restaurant that always has the order ready and never has issues like the ones I mentioned before but if it's dunkin donuts, that never has all the donuts the customer wants, or Macdonalds that makes you wait 10 to 20 minutes on the hot sun or Wendy's slow drive thru, those are automatic declines.
@@awakeandalive4248 Sounds like you're in my area. Lol. Dunkin donuts is a no-go for me. They never have anything. And sometimes McDonalds too. Fast food in general. I'm not a fan.
I'm almost certain they throttle deliveries to drivers for too many skipped deliveries and favor drivers who probably drive during their most needed times and accept low paying deliveries. Just to get delivery drivers to start driving people again instead of deliveries.
I have a brand new car and am a damn good driver. I get tipped maybe 1 out of 10 times driving passengers. Both Uber and the passengers rip you off behind your back and expect you to ask for more
I think you're on to something. The first thing they did was take away the quests from me. I was making no less than 2500 a week before that happened. Then it dropped to 1500 without them. Now I'm lucky if I make 900. They only send me bad orders or orders with little to no tip. Now I have to take semi decent orders just to make money. I rarely get good orders anymore and I'm in a busy market (Chicago). Is it the summer time or are they throttling me?
I can’t speak for everyone but here in California I know a lot of the low pay comes from the fact that Uber is now having to pay both prop 22 and stipend pay. I know they are upset by that and have created ways to make even, I’m seeing a daily $50 decrease compared to what I used to make. Another reason is people are going out more now.
There's definitely something going on with uber eats on both sides , my mom works in a restaurant and she says uber orders used to be hectic and now there's barely any orders
They are giving the orders to new people that sign up to get them i intrigued that they can MAKE alot of money lol its basic manipulation.. best advice is use multiple food deliveries and if you can drive out to the city where u can get more orders
Well now they’ve upped the fees and surcharges on these orders cause the rise of gas prices and inflation on food items…you have to pay $6 in fees and surcharges before you even pay for the food…that could go to drivers…Doordash and Uber don’t need an extra $6 for every order…that’s ridiculous
I think some of the merchants throw off the algorithm by clicking that the order is ready to make it look like it doesn't take them that long to prepare the order. So then it looks bad on the UE driver for not picking up the order when it's marked ready even though the UE driver is standing in the restaurant waiting for the order to be ready. Maybe it's important to mark the order not ready in the UE driver app so that Uber knows the time statistic is off so they don't dispatch a UE driver at that 7 minute mark?
Am very sure its due to the fact there's too many drivers and not enough orders to deliver. I strangely enough get more job offers when I'm at home. When i park near restaurants i get zero offers.
Isn't that stupid? Why in the world would they prioritize someone who is farther away from a restaraunt? Grubhub doesn't do this, They give you orders for the restaraunts you are close to
Before I begin driving I open the app in my apartment while getting ready so I don’t have to waste gas to get that first ping. It can be a little slower in my area for food than passenger driving, but for Uberx it tends to ping me a pickup for someone who is like 10-15 min away and I’m just like WTF??? 🤨
Uber doesn't give the driver the closest retailer to the customer. For example, I get a delivery from Starbucks to the customer but the Starbucks I'm sent to could be 8 kilometers away from the customer and you know there is Starbucks much closer to the customer so why does Uber not give the order to the closest Starbucks instead of one further away. This drives me nuts.
So how do you address the bombardment of two and three dollar orders these last two months? With gas being over $4 a gallon I would literally lose money and if I decline those offers I get penalized for a low acceptance rate.
@@VioFax I'm not sure that's true. The same thing is happening to me and I have declined quite a few orders recently. My acceptance rate is less than 35%.
@@AllDayErrDay. . Yes. I thought you meant something else. How many orders you decline vs the amount you accept. Anyways. Ive been below 85% since my percentage showed up after my first 2 weeks. Nothings happened to me.
I've been an uber eats delivery driver for 4 days and haven't had a single order. When I called customer service, they said that even though they service my county, no one from my county orders Uber eats even though there are about 15 participating restaurants. I told them I've driven to other nearby cities in larger counties with more of a population and still don't get any trip offers and have made $0 they had no explanation even though they service all the counties around me.
@@ShanePodClips not sure how else to describe it , my merchants are not in shopping plazas , rather each neighborhood has one or more roads jammed with stores at street level
@@ShanePodClips , in SF CA so the Hot Spots are 99% along neighborhood roads that are crammed with stores at street level , and because of the virus we now have Thousands of outdoor seating areas that until recently had been parking spaces, plus during the weekend some roads are now closed to provide an outdoor party atmosphere (Valencia & Hayes being 2 examples ) It’s added a new element of energy to the city but picking up from merchants can be challenging.
That was a lot of useful info but doesn't explain why we're not getting orders? This past weekend for example I only got 13 orders between dinner Friday and breakfast/lunch Saturday and brunch/dinner Sunday. Usually I'd get that, or reach 20 by Saturday dinner and not need to go out Sunday. I assumed either people are off the platform, too many drivers, or I'm being punished. Side note, I have a 4.98 rating but was dropped from Platinum to Blue until "you improve your service," which is related to declining stupid orders. This must be a widespread issue if you heard enough to make a video about it, but then who is getting the orders? This morning I got 1 order in 1.5 hours, signed in the entire time. DoorDash covered some time, but I need the Uber deliveries to hit the quest bonus. Uber is pissing me off and I might just switch to DoorDash only. PS I'm in the Minneapolis market and drive part time.
Customers order less delivery during the Christmas shopping season because everyone is out and about shopping for presents. No reason to have food delivered when everyone can pick it up themselves after shopping. Then we face people being broke because of holiday shopping and then we face New Year's resolutions of people refusing to eat unhealthy. Don't worry the New Year's resolution crowd gives up after 2 weeks and starts to eat unhealthy again. Basically we are in a fall slowdown until mid January with the NFL games helping us in the meantime. When the NFL games are on is when you always want to be on the road. Mid January kicks off the wonderful winter $30+ per hour shifts though that last until mid March or mid April (depending what State you live in).
Wendy’s in my area literally goes to the screen when I arrive and activates the order with the receipt popping up like I wasn’t a assistant manager there and know they had just started it. But then they get mad when you go through the drive thru because they’re forced to work in a timely manner due to the drive thru time system.
McDonald's where I'm from clearly don't apply the prep time. It's actually awful. I waited 20 minutes a couple of times with them. I even got mad with one particular staff and canceled the delivery. I avoid these restaurants at all cost.
A lot of restaurants don’t. If I’m at home when I accept the order, and I know that restaurant takes a while I’ll wait a few min to leave. It’s hit or miss if it’ll be ready when I get there.
Is the driver's rating an element of being assigned an order? That mean, for example, 2 drivers are at the same distance to the restaurants. Driver A's rating is 100%, driver B's rating is 98%. Will the order be assigned to driver A first?
I go online for Uber Eats food delivery and all it does is says you're online finding trips and just keeps the Blue Boar keeps going back and forth back and forth
None of this works. I've been in the ride share business for over 5 years. Uber Eats prioritizes newer drivers. Once you have been doing Uber eats for 6 months or more you will start to get less and less deliveries that is because hardly anybody uses that platform anymore to order food, it's all Doordash. I live in a major city and when I 1st started with Uber eats I was making $2200 a week.. EASILY! After 6 months the orders just stopped coming in.. i would sit near restaurants and in the "busy zones" And I would be lucky if I got a $5 order in 2 hours.. As I was sit in front of the restaurants I would see other drivers come in with their Uber Eats bags and sometimes I would start conversation with them. 90% of them were new. The other 10% are having the same problem I'm having. I switched to doordash after that and made substantially less but at least I was getting back-to-back orders. I make around 1400 a week with doordash until they falsely deactivated me due to customer fraud so I am appealing it. Until then I have to do Uber Eats which is none the less than slave work totaling $5 an hour at best. These are the only jobs I could due to a health condition right now and it's not right how Uber screws over its contractors.
About 90% of restaurants here on uber eats are order and pay and some restaurants won't even take the order cause they say they're not partners with uber so I end up being forced to drop those orders
You don’t have to tell them it’s an Uber order and pay. Just order and use the Uber Eats credit card. Then go thru the couple of easy order and pay steps on your app. Don’t tell the restaurant. They don’t need that info.
@@ladysymble2731 Thanks! The card of course has the pre approved funds for specific orders and works just like your regular credit or debit card, this makes sense.
I haven’t received an order in 3 days, I live in a busy area where Uber eats is my full time job! My app just continues to say finding trips, I drove to 3 different cities yesterday and not 1 trip requests pinged to my phone! Can someone help me please!!!!
It happened to me today. I was on the phone with customer service today and they told me to delete the App and restart the phone. When I did that I got an order and after the delivery, it took like 2 hours to get another delivery request. It's awful.
They can't get drivers to pick up a local burger joint where I live because it is a hell experience. So, the tactic Door Dash used was to change the name of the restaurant to the name of the President of Lithuania, and hid it in a stacked order, hoping I would pick up having been conned. I told them I refuse. We were in a stand off for 10 minutes. Finally they realized I wasn't budging. The order was removed so I could deliver the other order. Crazy!
DO NOT DO UPDATES..it treats u like a new person and hands jobs to senior driver's. I see this now. I think the update lie, is to slow you down from getting more orders to feed the bottom end newer users so as to keep people going. Like hunger games.. they sell hope. Hope left unchecked, breeds uncontrollable growth. As stated in hunger games Because the hunger game era are the same age as employees of Uber I wouldn't put it past them if they used that "play off hope to drive and motivate" logic. I think I see this now.
Damn..is that true? Ive always been reluctant to do those. I just recently made Diamond level for the first time ever, working 7 days a week. But I just did an Update yesterday, and then I only made $74 in 5 hours on a busy Friday night. I won't be updating any more. Thanks.
Like right now at the moment I'm sitting right by a hotspot if I was any closer I would be on top of it and I've been sitting here for 30 minutes and haven't gotten anything
I got my first order last night. I haven't got anything since. I'm sitting in my car, in the center of town. Waiting. I've made $8.00 total doing this. I've been waiting as I write this 2 hours no orders. This was supposed to be my side gig I do on my days off. It's costing me gas money and time. What else can I do here?
If you got time, lookup the restaurants you hang out at. Check to see if you can order online through ubereats and postmates. If they don't have that, obviously they won't give you orders?
@@nauxsi thought it would be a good full time gig in place of a normal job. I was dead wrong, a normal job is so much better than this provided you are paid 16 an hour or more. I got offered a job for 25 an hour and I dropped delivery driving in a heartbeat, never again
I am in Salt Lake City. Sometimes my days are really busy with good orders and sometimes I sit and wait 45 minutes. I know where all the hotspots are for restaurants and still some days don’t get any orders or really sucky ones. I also have requested getting an email that I can complain or make suggestions to, but they won’t send it. It Has to be sent through the app. I need more room than that! I have a lot to say.
@@alexibragimov1236 yup I use my e bike and Scooter. I use my Scooter to do lunch hours then I go back out for dinner hours and I make about $200 a day.
im a uber eats drive but i can’t find any job request from uber eats. i can go online but job find job its been nearly 9 months i also i email them more then 100 times they said everything is fine but i can’t find job request. can advise me if know any solution please thanks
I'm a computer scientist and a driver, and I can say their "Data" reeks of the same kind of jive talking that is present in most data science these days. What does "Near the restaurant" mean? Does it mean in the same city? They could use any criteria they want to pick a driver, and then say something like that to make believe distance is a factor. They are trying to maximize their own revenue, even if it means bleeding their customers and drivers dry. People pay a lot for this service, and I try to give the best service I can, but I wouldn't give any weight to the engineers at Uber improving any aspect of driving.
I just started today for GH and I worked only 3 hours and got 16 orders but could only do 9 I did not even see some pop up until I was done and reviewed activity ..Hard to drive in traffic and keep viewing offers but I made 90 in just those few hrs so pretty happy .
That's a lie I'll be driving to the hotspots with my app on and never get an order and then I'll sit in the hot spots for hours and not get an order it's not fair if they're giving their orders to the gold members when I'm here longer than them it makes no sense
I have a quick question I'm new to this, what if I'm at home, I start my car then push my Uber eats GO button to search online and then leave to drive to local restaurants. Will this impact me from starting from home when I push the Go button at home? I just get zero hits I wait for hours at local restaurants and there is a lot of them.
Interesting. I'm doing DD now my first order was a double making 11. Then I had another at 6 then another at 7. My total is only 20!!! I even turned my phone on and off... OK update. After my 2nd order after this the 4 showed up😊😊
Thanks for the heads up Rhonda, UE took some getting used to for me with the tips coming in later but now I kind of like seeing my total go up and up 📈
Kafka batch pipeline and Apache Pinot. GPS and phone accelerometer. Keep moving to get more pings that means. Higher tiers (platinum and diamond) are favored for pings but do not override existing algorithm. It just aids in the kafka decision making.
See where I am at there is this place called Quebobs, they do Mediterranean Food. Then on the same grounds there is this trailer called Reef Kitchen, they are contracted out by 5 different restaurants. 97% of my orders come from these two places. One Saturday night all of my orders came from Quebobs. So on the nights when I do Uber Eats I just pull up in the parking lot and wait.
I don’t necessarily agree with this hypothesis. I camp out at Chick-fil-A and I’ll get orders all day long and sometimes I wait one minute sometimes I wait 10 minutes so I think we go with “near the store”
It’s a waste of time since 3 weeks not giving orders at all. I personally stayed working most of the day working and got $38 all day which is just bs. Uber doesn’t pay decent and they don’t care about their drivers but themselves to make money and the thing who in the F is going to drive or walk more than 0.5 mile for $2 or $3 I consider it disrespectful
This is weird, I didn't get a single ping all day today yet 26 bucks showed up on today's earnings and it was deposited into my bank already through cash out.. has this happened to anyone? Maybe a tip went through late? Or do you think it is a error?
I have been driving on uber eats for 5 months. My map never shows a heat map like you show in your videos. It is just always white. Is this a setting I need to change or maybe my market (near San Francisco) isn't busy enough? Also, the only promotions I ever see are for boosts (ex 1.3 x or 1.2x boosts). I also get offers to for driving bonuses with passengers but I only do food delivery. I never see a promotion for quest bonuses on food delivery. Am I doing something wrong with my app settings? Thank you.
This past Friday and Saturday I was in the middle of an area with at least 50 restaurants . Two days not a single trip from 8am-2pm. I called help cause I am new. She told me I should drive around my city for a “chance” to get a trip. I was not told this was a lottery. I am very confused. That’s prob why onboarding is so vague with real info that can help a new driver figure this out.
It’s not because your new or a lottery. It depends how busy your areas is. My area is always busy I have to decline orders Because it can get overwhelming.
1. How near you are to a restaraunt but if you got a bad customer review, you will actually go down as a preferred driver for some time. This could also happen if, you made a mistake with the order. Or took too long. But if 2 drivers didnt make any mistakes or get bad review, it will prob go to nearest.
Hi Mike my friend is a uber eats driver and she has not been able to receive consistent order. She has reset her phone reset app and no luck and she has also had the IT department look at her account and nothing. Do you have any tips to help her please and thank you.
This might’ve been good 3 years ago. But I can literally hang out in an area chock full of restaurants in LA, during dinner time, and just get nothing for hours.
Simple concept i usually go on line when @ home whilst getting ready 🙃 once out I've already been pinged to pickup order.. usually I've declined 2 even before im ready to leave home! Furthermore i take my time as i hate waiting for orders @ restaurants so 9 times outa ten i arrive orders ready its packed, im ready to rock and roll... give the restaurant a thumbs 👍up on app on pickup notifying recipient im on route 😎 pre saved Copy and paste the generic message to customer.. works to generate a tip. Ieft @ door as per instruction on del notes. Have a wonderful day. I then proceed to my usual spot no rush away from all other drivers im pinged on route very often do i have to wait for orders.. If your wheels are moving you're earning. Think smart 🤔
I know this video is old, but I'd just like to point out that the algorithm is everything. I've only been doing Uber Eats since December, and after seeing so many YT videos telling you to decline crappy paying orders, I've always done that. As of a week ago, something changed and I've ended up on the Uber Eats algorithm s**tlist, the frequency of my incoming pings and my earnings have taken a nosedive ever since the app had a recent update and started warning me that my acceptance rate is too low. And when I do get pings, they're always $3-$4 orders. The only time I make money is if it's more than busy enough for everyone, or later at night after everyone has gone home. Dinner rushes are nonexistent for me now, and orders are always already sitting there and slightly cold when I get there now(because I was last to be offered the order). I've been slowly trying to increase my AR, but my ping frequency isn't improving. Just be forewarned, if you're a new driver, don't let your acceptance rating drop too low for too long unless you're in an overly busy area, you'll end up screwed like me. Uber is a truly evil company, I have a consistent 98-99% approval rating with tons of those compliment badges, but it doesn't help.
Well first of all, this whole discussion is based on if the restaurant is doing what they should with their app. Many of them I don't think pay much attention once they have received the order and start processing it. And when It's a busy Friday or Saturday evening in a large city, half the time the orders are not ready when you arrive. I always give certain restaurants extra time. It takes working an area and knowing restaurants well enough to know how much time you need to give them before you go rushing over there. I see so many drivers wasting time running like maniacs just because they got a ping and the food isn't ready. Also certain places like Taco Bell and McDonald's are always not be ready unless it's very slow. You must remember as well that the restaurants cater to in-house customers first. Very few restaurants have mobile orders and in-house orders being done separately.
I ordered food on UE as a customer and it showed the driver on a bike. Well he pulls up in the car, and explains that he puts his settings to “bicycle” to get shorter runs. Might be something to consider during a quest bonus period.
I get 2 orders on the same time in most restaurants. You have to drive in a comercial area or a specific town that's packed with restaurants. Lol, I got here looking for "why ubereats don't send a welcome package" cause door dash does it. Anyways.
Is there an algorithm where ubereats just stops sending orders to veteran drivers? because I literally wanted this to be a side hustle for me on sundays but every sunday I log and it gets slower and slower by the minute to the point where I get no pings at all no matter what time I’m online and at this point I’m about to just delete my account altogether. this thing has become a huge waste of time. I went from seeing at least 100 on sundays to now nothing.
Two years after this video was posted, over dropped all surge pricing for ubereats drivers, maybe they're still surge for people driving I have no idea.
There has been many times that I had to take a screenshot and make a dispute. On a payment transaction, because I feel that the algorithm was wrong. And I have won many disputes because the algorithm just doesn't add up properly. Especially when my base fare is $2.49, and Uber is making $3.10. Something is wrong there. Also on a batched delivery I will pick up two deliveries from the same restaurant but deliver them to separate locations. And that's when u really gets screwed. Sometimes they don't even show what the customer tipped. And it's common sense to realize that when there is no more boost promotions that means there are a bunch of drivers back on the road getting screwed
🤔this helps explain why when my roommate and I tried to use the system he didn't get my order even though we planned for him to be at the restaurant I was going to be ordering from.
⚡️Once you do start getting requests make sure you're not doing this (on ANY app): th-cam.com/video/QHE85bKKFhE/w-d-xo.html
Uber Eats is digital slavery. Better to burn it down (metaphorically speaking).
I have a question do they really pay you for completing the recommended trips lets say they want you to complete 15 trips for $75 extra dollars on what you already made. do you really get that $75 extra dollars?
Im an Android User. Why do I have to draw over other apps when using Uber Eats?
@@thesage90
Yes, you do.
I was deactivated for no reason I emailed them but no response I had to talked to a friend who once had same issues and was referred to *granthacks* on !nsta within some minutes my account was reactivated he is the best✅
Look. I park in front of 3 restaurants and time goes by and I get no delivery requests. What gets me upset is when I driver coming up to the restaurants to pickup a order. So this theory about hanging near the restaurant doesn't work 100 %
@Rikki Jo I park to just in front of the restaurant. Sometime I get the order from that restaurant right away, which, the distance from the trunk to the restaurant entrance is just 3 metres. However, in some situation, the drivers who park further away from me get the orders, and I get nothing at all.
Didn't you watch the video lol uber says they pick the people that are at a distance thats based on when the food is ready by the time you get there ..basically drive everywhere and all around the area you want go close then go far away from it...in hindsight it doesn't matter its all bullshit anyways the system will pick you based on who much you have been making all week
@@ceffreyjastillo ..
I also think that most likely the majority of drivers you see showing up to pick up a delivery are probably not even Uber Eats drivers but in fact DoorDash drivers. DoorDash deactivated me over false information found on a background check and I really hate their background checking company for screw me over like this, but I was making between $120 to $200 daily working for DoorDash. I can barely make $50 a day with Uber Eats. It's not possible. In my hometown of Santa Rosa it was so easy to make good money with Doordash when you account for Santa Rosa and the surrounding area. With Uber it's impossible. I had the drive 2 hours south to San Jose to actually make money with Uber. That's not sustainable
Pretty much @@ceffreyjastillo
Remember when you said at the beginning of video that you didn’t want to waste time? That’s all you did.
Yeah I got nothing from this
I feel like he laid out all you can lay out. The way orders are created and sent to deivers encourages you to be in close proximity to resturants so that when the order pops you are more likely to be chosen.
So the strategy is to try and make sure that you are staying in close proximity to resturant-filled areas during downtime and making sure that any deliveries that take you far away from those hotspots are financially worth the gas money and time spent driving all the way back to the hotspot

@@SomniaCE I don't believe that to be true, been sitting her for over 16 minutes with like 12 restaurants right here and still no hits.
"Be 7 mins or less away from restaurants." 10 second video.
I’ve been doing similar the last few days and it’s worked out really well for me. If I don’t have an order waiting after a drop off, I head to a nearby parking lot that I know is near a good area with busy restaurants and just sit and wait. Usually not too long to see some offers come in. Biggest problem lately is it’s mostly all 2-3 bucks for 6-8 mile fast food orders so having to decline a lot to get to anything with worthy dollar to mile. Thanks for the vids and all the great info! 👍🏻
Uber has been difficult lately and it’s affecting drivers, restaurants and customers. Whenever an issue comes up Uber does not communicate between all parties and it can be pretty frustrating. I’ve had to apologize to so many customers lately for things that are out of my control.
You literally took the words out of my mouth
Could not agree more
I agree and there should definitely be a class action flaw suit 🤬🤬🤬
Uber definately throttles the pay for drivers who made "too much" I worked a work week of 12 hours and made $480 thanks to big tippers and at a certain point I stopped getting big orders then eventually stopped getting orders (I mean literally driving around for 30 minutes in a surge zone before getting offered a $5 order). Lets not mention the fact that I get $5 orders while driving in a $3 surge zone. Which means NO TIP and the base pay was TWO DOLLARS. Comon man.
Im right there with you. I was making $500 a weekend and now I'm lucky if I get one order every 30 min. Complete bs, Im done!
Me too bro I feel u man and the worst part about it is that door dash is only on for like two hours out of the whole day
If you're self-employed and not doing 20 dollars a hour you're wasting your time and capital.
Thank god bro I use to make 150-200 in less the 8 hours in Uber eats after 1800 right completed bro I’ll tell you cant even make a 100 dollar no more
You guys earn $500 a day??!!!!?! As a new uber driver I'm happy if I can earn $100 in 6 hours..
Here’s a non related tip. If a restaurant has an excessive wait time, call support to cancel. It won’t count against you and you’ll get a few bucks for the inconvenience
I never get the few bucks for inconvenience when this happens, that’s strange
@@realmaticfilms7130 I never have to ask, but maybe try asking and see if they give you anything
@@NotSure876 thanks will give it a try next time!
Yea I've received the inconvenience fee. It was a 28$ order that I had to cancel due to the restaurant being closed. They gave me a 3$ fee. It's not much but the pickup and drop-off was on my way home anyway so no gas lost!
Considering how rare it is to ever receive an Uber Eats request, canceling the order is just a terrible idea because then you're going to wait forever just to receive another request and all you got was that cancellation fee for canceling the other one when you would have made a lot more money to deliver it even if you have to wait
I think Uber punishes for declining orders. 80% are about .50 per mile. Which is horrible.
^ ^ ^ ^TRUE FACTZ! When my acceptance rate was at 95%, I was getting orders left-&-right, ...I declined less than 10 orders and my acceptance rate dropped to the low 80-percentile range. Now I hardly get any orders at all. Will be online for several hours without any offers. This started happening about a year ago, ...maybe a year and some change....The definitely did something to the algorithm that completely assassinated bike delivery.
I've noticed I keep getting orders for nearby restaurants but the customer is on the opposite side of town and they have the same restaurant closer to them.
UE makes more $ by added on, double order, and stacked order. They pay less to driver.
That's why we get customers from opposite side of town.
This happens with franchise restaurants only. They pick the location, not by the customer.
They tricked me twice today.
$15 for 2 orders. 1st one was 2milea away (10.50), 2nd one was 8 miles away( 4.50).
And stupid I am. I picked another one. It was worse.
1st one was easy, but 2nd one ended up top of mountain estate house 9 miles away, took me almost an hour, bc GPS couldn't locate the address, it guided me going around circle for 30 mins.
I got zero delivery the minute the weather got nice. I went from making $120 a day to 0. The past 3 weeks I try the morning, the afternoon and the night. Crazy thing is… I’m not the only one experiencing this. The city I delivered from always busy but now it feels like people are not ordering. I tried other cities near by and nothing. And I’m doing this on an electric bike. I got to see what other gigs I could do other than ubereats.
People are all flocking to courier services because they don’t want actual jobs with bosses. This is the downside of that. They also throttle orders and it’s obvious. All services do this in my opinion.
But giving rides has been consistent money from what I’ve seen in my area anyhow. People don’t want others in their car as much as they want to be left alone, so there are far less rideshare drivers than delivery drivers.
I still am
@@justinwoodward3413 That's pretty poor attitude because those guys could be making a guaranteed 150 a day and then do Uber as a side hustle to top up their wages as it was intended.
Do you have AT&T because if so that’s the actual problem. I’ve noticed a friend who also does delivery apps can be in the same room as me and they get orders and I never even get pinged. They don’t have AT&T tho. Att does nothing about this and I’ve lost thousands!!!!
@@NintCondition This happens to me on verizon
Key takeaway, hang out near restaurants
I sit between restaurants and still wait about 30 mins. Two weeks ago I would of already hit over 4 deliveries by the time i get my 2nd. I think I wish there was a way to tell how many drivers are online and how slow it is. My app still doesnt show hotspots while in uber eats. Not sure if that's the app or just my slow old phone ha
@@ambre1303 try more apps like uber eats, takeaway, deliveroo etc.
@@kingqueen104 I do regular uber rides and I leave the uber eats on too and around 4 pm I sit for 20 minutes with rides off and if nothing pops up I turn rides back on. In my town I'm the only uber on at 530 am till almost 11. So I make my money then. But ty I'll check the others out. But my town never has the red spots like you see on other people uber app when they are on. Lol I'm jealous is all
Yup
Absolutely
Uber Eats used to give a great incentive it wasn’t much but if you did 5 deliveries you would get 5 dollars. That adds up each day, 5 times 5, 25 bucks per week, 100 plus per month.
Lmao I can’t tell if this is serious but that’s awful
I drove to a hot zone that was paying $3 extra and didn't get served any orders. Yes I hit go lol.
@John Blze yeah it's annoying. I signed up for Cornershop and now it's order after order and making like $30/HR. BUT it's also Uber so that will probably soon change haha. It sounds like they're trying to not over hire though so people can actually make a living out of it. We'll see.
@@Beardyvlogger how do I sign up for cornershop ??
That’s a thing about hot zone and boost hours it attracts more drivers and drivers end up getting fewer trips
Heat maps - people needing rides at least here. Have seen 14 dollars drive there just to see nothing there but apartments. Know your area never ever chase fake maps.
Why do I get an order 10 miles away when there is another location of that restaurant closer to the customer ?
It doesn’t always give you the closest chain restaurant. I this mistake when ordering McDonald’s instead of the one 2 blocks from my house it showed a further one first and I accidentally ordered from there
It’s cuz the dumb customer orders far away and not the place near them. They have choices of which location to order from.
I deliver for Uber Eats in Tokyo. This has happened to me numerous times. I've always assumed that there are no delivery drivers near the restaurant that is closest to the customer so the order goes to another restaurant of the same chain which is further away but has delivery drivers in the vicinity of that restaurant. It usually results in a very long delivery trip for me.
That’s where they ordered the food at.
not always the case I intentionally search for the one closest and it’s simply not available or offered at the given time. Some locations turn their tablet off so they don’t receive offers, some incredibly don’t participate, some I have no clue why they don’t show in the searches. And some customers simply don’t look at where they are ordering from.
I get a lot of orders in my area. The real issue is that Uber pays wayyy too little in base pay per order. If they raised their base pay up by even 2 dollars, that will change the outcome of the amount of orders people decline. I can dream... lol
Nailed it
My area is very slow, Grubhub and doordash are way busier and the only ones that get enough offers are the new drivers and the drivers that accept the 3s,4s and 5 dollars offers I automatically reject everything under 6 dollars I'm in California and the minimum wage is 14 dollars in my county, is a real insult to even expect drivers to accept offers under 6 dollars, only idiots accept this type of offers you have to value yourself and your car and ask yourself are you worth that little is it even worth it to move your car for 3 fken dollars ?!!
@@awakeandalive4248 Consider this: If you take an order for $10 that is 7 miles, you still want to come back to where you started from. So actually it's 14 miles. But if you take an order for $5 that's only 1.2 miles away, that's only 2.4 miles round trip and you will still be inside the area. And you're making over $2 a mile. Think about it.
@@darthphaser2991. I do consider some of the 5s when is only a mile and a half to a real easy location and from a restaurant that always has the order ready and never has issues like the ones I mentioned before but if it's dunkin donuts, that never has all the donuts the customer wants, or Macdonalds that makes you wait 10 to 20 minutes on the hot sun or Wendy's slow drive thru, those are automatic declines.
@@awakeandalive4248 Sounds like you're in my area. Lol. Dunkin donuts is a no-go for me. They never have anything. And sometimes McDonalds too. Fast food in general. I'm not a fan.
I'm almost certain they throttle deliveries to drivers for too many skipped deliveries and favor drivers who probably drive during their most needed times and accept low paying deliveries. Just to get delivery drivers to start driving people again instead of deliveries.
I have a brand new car and am a damn good driver. I get tipped maybe 1 out of 10 times driving passengers. Both Uber and the passengers rip you off behind your back and expect you to ask for more
@@randygarbrecht3185 maybe it aint for you bud always atleast a dollar tip
I think you're on to something. The first thing they did was take away the quests from me. I was making no less than 2500 a week before that happened. Then it dropped to 1500 without them. Now I'm lucky if I make 900. They only send me bad orders or orders with little to no tip. Now I have to take semi decent orders just to make money. I rarely get good orders anymore and I'm in a busy market (Chicago). Is it the summer time or are they throttling me?
@@AllDayErrDay. Ubereats is dying i think
@@GrapesAuto not uber eats, the economy. ppl are broke, they walk to get food.
I can’t speak for everyone but here in California I know a lot of the low pay comes from the fact that Uber is now having to pay both prop 22 and stipend pay. I know they are upset by that and have created ways to make even, I’m seeing a daily $50 decrease compared to what I used to make. Another reason is people are going out more now.
Yeah, the drop off is crazy. I went from make close to 150 a night to struggling to make 100. And im always in the heart of downtown Denver
There's definitely something going on with uber eats on both sides , my mom works in a restaurant and she says uber orders used to be hectic and now there's barely any orders
SAME thought it was just me
They are giving the orders to new people that sign up to get them i intrigued that they can MAKE alot of money lol its basic manipulation.. best advice is use multiple food deliveries and if you can drive out to the city where u can get more orders
let's go Brandon!
Well now they’ve upped the fees and surcharges on these orders cause the rise of gas prices and inflation on food items…you have to pay $6 in fees and surcharges before you even pay for the food…that could go to drivers…Doordash and Uber don’t need an extra $6 for every order…that’s ridiculous
No one can afford it anymore!! Biden has destroyed the economy people wake up!!
I think some of the merchants throw off the algorithm by clicking that the order is ready to make it look like it doesn't take them that long to prepare the order. So then it looks bad on the UE driver for not picking up the order when it's marked ready even though the UE driver is standing in the restaurant waiting for the order to be ready. Maybe it's important to mark the order not ready in the UE driver app so that Uber knows the time statistic is off so they don't dispatch a UE driver at that 7 minute mark?
Am very sure its due to the fact there's too many drivers and not enough orders to deliver. I strangely enough get more job offers when I'm at home. When i park near restaurants i get zero offers.
i dont leave the house untill i get a order
Isn't that stupid? Why in the world would they prioritize someone who is farther away from a restaraunt? Grubhub doesn't do this, They give you orders for the restaraunts you are close to
@@Funrunner008 so that when you arrive, the order is ready. Just how it works I see.
@@princeismypitbull5432 same...
Before I begin driving I open the app in my apartment while getting ready so I don’t have to waste gas to get that first ping. It can be a little slower in my area for food than passenger driving, but for Uberx it tends to ping me a pickup for someone who is like 10-15 min away and I’m just like WTF??? 🤨
Thought I was the only one that opened the app while still at the house just to let it "Boot up" in my mind lol
Uber doesn't give the driver the closest retailer to the customer. For example, I get a delivery from Starbucks to the customer but the Starbucks I'm sent to could be 8 kilometers away from the customer and you know there is Starbucks much closer to the customer so why does Uber not give the order to the closest Starbucks instead of one further away. This drives me nuts.
This is hard to believe seeing how I get most of my orders when im near or in neighborhoods and not sitting in the midst of merchants
So how do you address the bombardment of two and three dollar orders these last two months?
With gas being over $4 a gallon I would literally lose money and if I decline those offers I get penalized for a low acceptance rate.
@@VioFax I'm not sure that's true. The same thing is happening to me and I have declined quite a few orders recently. My acceptance rate is less than 35%.
Switch to an ebike. Gas is 10 cents for 6-8 hours.
@@AllDayErrDay. . How do you find your acceptance rate?
@@E-BikingAdventures click on your profile picture.
@@AllDayErrDay. . Yes. I thought you meant something else. How many orders you decline vs the amount you accept. Anyways. Ive been below 85% since my percentage showed up after my first 2 weeks. Nothings happened to me.
I've been an uber eats delivery driver for 4 days and haven't had a single order. When I called customer service, they said that even though they service my county, no one from my county orders Uber eats even though there are about 15 participating restaurants. I told them I've driven to other nearby cities in larger counties with more of a population and still don't get any trip offers and have made $0 they had no explanation even though they service all the counties around me.
Which is why it makes sense when after dropping off an order to drive through merchant corridors if you want to head to a location.
Merchant corridors lol I love that wordage
@@ShanePodClips not sure how else to describe it , my merchants are not in shopping plazas , rather each neighborhood has one or more roads jammed with stores at street level
@@Beachdudeca that's cool! Where abouts do you live? I'm in Florida so we have plazas mostlyyy.
@@ShanePodClips , in SF CA so the Hot Spots are 99% along neighborhood roads that are crammed with stores at street level , and because of the virus we now have Thousands of outdoor seating areas that until recently had been parking spaces, plus during the weekend some roads are now closed to provide an outdoor party atmosphere (Valencia & Hayes being 2 examples ) It’s added a new element of energy to the city but picking up from merchants can be challenging.
@@Beachdudeca damn man, sounds like some serious Parkcore challenges over there! It sounds like a busy market nontheless tho
That was a lot of useful info but doesn't explain why we're not getting orders? This past weekend for example I only got 13 orders between dinner Friday and breakfast/lunch Saturday and brunch/dinner Sunday. Usually I'd get that, or reach 20 by Saturday dinner and not need to go out Sunday.
I assumed either people are off the platform, too many drivers, or I'm being punished. Side note, I have a 4.98 rating but was dropped from Platinum to Blue until "you improve your service," which is related to declining stupid orders.
This must be a widespread issue if you heard enough to make a video about it, but then who is getting the orders? This morning I got 1 order in 1.5 hours, signed in the entire time. DoorDash covered some time, but I need the Uber deliveries to hit the quest bonus. Uber is pissing me off and I might just switch to DoorDash only.
PS I'm in the Minneapolis market and drive part time.
Customers order less delivery during the Christmas shopping season because everyone is out and about shopping for presents. No reason to have food delivered when everyone can pick it up themselves after shopping. Then we face people being broke because of holiday shopping and then we face New Year's resolutions of people refusing to eat unhealthy. Don't worry the New Year's resolution crowd gives up after 2 weeks and starts to eat unhealthy again. Basically we are in a fall slowdown until mid January with the NFL games helping us in the meantime. When the NFL games are on is when you always want to be on the road. Mid January kicks off the wonderful winter $30+ per hour shifts though that last until mid March or mid April (depending what State you live in).
I'm in the Minneapolis area as well. I just got on to Uber eats yesterday. It's Friday so I'm hoping to get some hits.
and then there are the restaurants that just will not even start the food till u arrive. typically fast food.
McDonald's is one of them
definitely KFC lol
Popeyes starts it 5-20 minutes after you arrive
Wendy’s in my area literally goes to the screen when I arrive and activates the order with the receipt popping up like I wasn’t a assistant manager there and know they had just started it. But then they get mad when you go through the drive thru because they’re forced to work in a timely manner due to the drive thru time system.
@@heroinpapi1845 so we can just pick up the delivery order at the drive thru window in fast food restaurants ?
McDonald's where I'm from clearly don't apply the prep time. It's actually awful. I waited 20 minutes a couple of times with them. I even got mad with one particular staff and canceled the delivery. I avoid these restaurants at all cost.
Yeah, can be ridiculous at times, spent 40 minutes at a restaurant waiting for an order. At least the customer tipped good
I agreed I almost waited an hour on this one the only time I ever go there is day time when the lobby is open
A lot of restaurants don’t. If I’m at home when I accept the order, and I know that restaurant takes a while I’ll wait a few min to leave. It’s hit or miss if it’ll be ready when I get there.
Cause their workers are told to make the Uber eats order its least priority.
@@dimfuturefilms9070 Agreed! Those fast food chains always put the drive-thru customers first priority, followed by the buy at the counter customers.
Is the driver's rating an element of being assigned an order? That mean, for example, 2 drivers are at the same distance to the restaurants. Driver A's rating is 100%, driver B's rating is 98%. Will the order be assigned to driver A first?
Great question 💯
I go online for Uber Eats food delivery and all it does is says you're online finding trips and just keeps the Blue Boar keeps going back and forth back and forth
Same
North Atlanta. Never had the issue. Maybe 20min after initial log in but after the first one of the day they roll in.
I was out for 3 hours during lunch time and I got 0 orders 😭😭
Same here!! Literally driving all of San Fernando Valley in LA and nothing
Why does UE think that it's a good idea to offer me deliveries 25-30 miles away?
Because they don’t care about you or your car, they just cae about de customer 🤷♂️
None of this works. I've been in the ride share business for over 5 years. Uber Eats prioritizes newer drivers. Once you have been doing Uber eats for 6 months or more you will start to get less and less deliveries that is because hardly anybody uses that platform anymore to order food, it's all Doordash. I live in a major city and when I 1st started with Uber eats I was making $2200 a week.. EASILY! After 6 months the orders just stopped coming in.. i would sit near restaurants and in the "busy zones" And I would be lucky if I got a $5 order in 2 hours.. As I was sit in front of the restaurants I would see other drivers come in with their Uber Eats bags and sometimes I would start conversation with them. 90% of them were new. The other 10% are having the same problem I'm having. I switched to doordash after that and made substantially less but at least I was getting back-to-back orders. I make around 1400 a week with doordash until they falsely deactivated me due to customer fraud so I am appealing it. Until then I have to do Uber Eats which is none the less than slave work totaling $5 an hour at best. These are the only jobs I could due to a health condition right now and it's not right how Uber screws over its contractors.
That's how they get you hooked in the beginning.
First day out was yesterday and i got 0 orders from 7am - 8pm...
Dang that was tough you have to really change location s, when that happens
About 90% of restaurants here on uber eats are order and pay and some restaurants won't even take the order cause they say they're not partners with uber so I end up being forced to drop those orders
Never experienced those
You don’t have to tell them it’s an Uber order and pay. Just order and use the Uber Eats credit card. Then go thru the couple of easy order and pay steps on your app. Don’t tell the restaurant. They don’t need that info.
@@ladysymble2731 Thanks! The card of course has the pre approved funds for specific orders and works just like your regular credit or debit card, this makes sense.
I haven’t received an order in 3 days, I live in a busy area where Uber eats is my full time job! My app just continues to say finding trips, I drove to 3 different cities yesterday and not 1 trip requests pinged to my phone! Can someone help me please!!!!
Me too
Same currently it's Saturday I've all over the DFW for 2 hours not one order
It happened to me today. I was on the phone with customer service today and they told me to delete the App and restart the phone. When I did that I got an order and after the delivery, it took like 2 hours to get another delivery request. It's awful.
I’m having the same problem support has been a waste of time.
Ok so now I'm sure it's not just me having the same issues the last two weeks
I’ve learned in Dallas to never be in a rush to arrive at ANY restaurant!!! You’ll still have to wait
I have been sitting in front of a restaurant and seen other dashers pull up and get an order. Like wtf.
They can't get drivers to pick up a local burger joint where I live because it is a hell experience. So, the tactic Door Dash used was to change the name of the restaurant to the name of the President of Lithuania, and hid it in a stacked order, hoping I would pick up having been conned. I told them I refuse. We were in a stand off for 10 minutes. Finally they realized I wasn't budging. The order was removed so I could deliver the other order. Crazy!
I get plenty of DD and GH orders but I have never received an uber eats order. I get person delivery orders but not food. What's going on?
DO NOT DO UPDATES..it treats u like a new person and hands jobs to senior driver's. I see this now. I think the update lie, is to slow you down from getting more orders to feed the bottom end newer users so as to keep people going. Like hunger games.. they sell hope. Hope left unchecked, breeds uncontrollable growth. As stated in hunger games
Because the hunger game era are the same age as employees of Uber I wouldn't put it past them if they used that "play off hope to drive and motivate" logic.
I think I see this now.
Damn..is that true? Ive always been reluctant to do those. I just recently made Diamond level for the first time ever, working 7 days a week. But I just did an Update yesterday, and then I only made $74 in 5 hours on a busy Friday night. I won't be updating any more. Thanks.
Why i am not getting no orders on uber drivers?
Justice_Techz will help you out on this
Because u decline crappy orders
Just started spent 3 days driving around wasting time for nothing while looking around i didn't see any drivers in LA and not seeings much
You still driving in La?
they charge so much for you to order delivery but pay so little for you to delivery the order.
Like right now at the moment I'm sitting right by a hotspot if I was any closer I would be on top of it and I've been sitting here for 30 minutes and haven't gotten anything
I got my first order last night. I haven't got anything since. I'm sitting in my car, in the center of town. Waiting. I've made $8.00 total doing this. I've been waiting as I write this 2 hours no orders. This was supposed to be my side gig I do on my days off. It's costing me gas money and time. What else can I do here?
Same thing is going on with me, been driving around for hours today and I got nothing lol
@@JJK10567 try picking a spot in the enter of town. I got a few doing that. It also depends on location. My location doesn't get a lot of orders.
If you got time, lookup the restaurants you hang out at. Check to see if you can order online through ubereats and postmates. If they don't have that, obviously they won't give you orders?
Same thing Uber sucks
UberEATS has there favorite delivery person , doesn't matter if your the nearest person there.
Two of my orders just disappeared from the app with no notification to see if was cancelled. My food was never delivered but I was still charged.
Uber controls all order distribution, and people still think we are independent contractors. This makes us basically employees
It's worse, you're being manipulated by an algorithm to have log in everyday even though you only went into it for the flexibility..
@@nauxsi thought it would be a good full time gig in place of a normal job. I was dead wrong, a normal job is so much better than this provided you are paid 16 an hour or more. I got offered a job for 25 an hour and I dropped delivery driving in a heartbeat, never again
I am in Salt Lake City. Sometimes my days are really busy with good orders and sometimes I sit and wait 45 minutes. I know where all the hotspots are for restaurants and still some days don’t get any orders or really sucky ones.
I also have requested getting an email that I can complain or make suggestions to, but they won’t send it. It Has to be sent through the app. I need more room than that! I have a lot to say.
I do UE in NYC & I make $30-40 an hour. It’s all about picking your delivery orders wisely. I don’t do $7-$8
Do you use bike?
@@alexibragimov1236 yup I use my e bike and
Scooter. I use my
Scooter to do lunch hours then I go back out for dinner hours and I make about $200 a day.
How long have you been doing UE?
Making 30-40 an hour in NYC is equivalent to 10 in a normal city
2 hours waiting for an order 😅😅😅, what a waste of gas, here in Orlando
im a uber eats drive but i can’t find any job request from uber eats. i can go online but job find job its been nearly 9 months i also i email them more then 100 times they said everything is fine but i can’t find job request. can advise me if know any solution please thanks
Like ive waited at this hot spot for 2 hours and got nothing im about ready to give up being a driver :/
Bro I was having same issues but someone here recommended me to Spark_Techz who was able to help me out on that
HE’S ON INSTAGRAM
I'm a computer scientist and a driver, and I can say their "Data" reeks of the same kind of jive talking that is present in most data science these days. What does "Near the restaurant" mean? Does it mean in the same city? They could use any criteria they want to pick a driver, and then say something like that to make believe distance is a factor. They are trying to maximize their own revenue, even if it means bleeding their customers and drivers dry. People pay a lot for this service, and I try to give the best service I can, but I wouldn't give any weight to the engineers at Uber improving any aspect of driving.
Nice dig into all that information! It's always interesting trying to figure out how all these companies handle algorithms
I just started today for GH and I worked only 3 hours and got 16 orders but could only do 9 I did not even see some pop up until I was done and reviewed activity ..Hard to drive in traffic and keep viewing offers but I made 90 in just those few hrs so pretty happy .
That's a lie I'll be driving to the hotspots with my app on and never get an order and then I'll sit in the hot spots for hours and not get an order it's not fair if they're giving their orders to the gold members when I'm here longer than them it makes no sense
I have a quick question I'm new to this, what if I'm at home, I start my car then push my Uber eats GO button to search online and then leave to drive to local restaurants. Will this impact me from starting from home when I push the Go button at home? I just get zero hits I wait for hours at local restaurants and there is a lot of them.
Interesting. I'm doing DD now my first order was a double making 11. Then I had another at 6 then another at 7. My total is only 20!!! I even turned my phone on and off... OK update. After my 2nd order after this the 4 showed up😊😊
The tips come in later.
Sometimes hours later!
Other times early.
That's how uber eats works.
Door dash, I'm not sure.
I didn't like Door dash :(
Thanks for the heads up Rhonda, UE took some getting used to for me with the tips coming in later but now I kind of like seeing my total go up and up 📈
Very helpful to better understand the backend process. I'm glad I found this, thanks for posting it!
Kafka batch pipeline and Apache Pinot. GPS and phone accelerometer. Keep moving to get more pings that means. Higher tiers (platinum and diamond) are favored for pings but do not override existing algorithm. It just aids in the kafka decision making.
See where I am at there is this place called Quebobs, they do Mediterranean Food. Then on the same grounds there is this trailer called Reef Kitchen, they are contracted out by 5 different restaurants. 97% of my orders come from these two places. One Saturday night all of my orders came from Quebobs. So on the nights when I do Uber Eats I just pull up in the parking lot and wait.
I don’t necessarily agree with this hypothesis. I camp out at Chick-fil-A and I’ll get orders all day long and sometimes I wait one minute sometimes I wait 10 minutes so I think we go with “near the store”
It’s a waste of time since 3 weeks not giving orders at all. I personally stayed working most of the day working and got $38 all day which is just bs. Uber doesn’t pay decent and they don’t care about their drivers but themselves to make money and the thing who in the F is going to drive or walk more than 0.5 mile for $2 or $3 I consider it disrespectful
This is weird, I didn't get a single ping all day today yet 26 bucks showed up on today's earnings and it was deposited into my bank already through cash out.. has this happened to anyone? Maybe a tip went through late? Or do you think it is a error?
Im a new driver and in the green ill be online for 3 hours and only make 16 dollars maybe 3 orders
I have been driving on uber eats for 5 months. My map never shows a heat map like you show in your videos. It is just always white. Is this a setting I need to change or maybe my market (near San Francisco) isn't busy enough? Also, the only promotions I ever see are for boosts (ex 1.3 x or 1.2x boosts). I also get offers to for driving bonuses with passengers but I only do food delivery. I never see a promotion for quest bonuses on food delivery. Am I doing something wrong with my app settings? Thank you.
I WAS ASKING CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY !!! So in love with this channel😍😍😍😍😍thank you for this content
I wonder why u get an order and it says, you are expected to get this amount for an order, but it only shows half at first.
Because it takes an hour for them to compute the whole amount. I asked that question the first time I worked there too
The customer has 1 hour to confirm or delete the tip amount. So you get the Uber pay first, tip second.
This past Friday and Saturday I was in the middle of an area with at least 50 restaurants . Two days not a single trip from 8am-2pm. I called help cause I am new. She told me I should drive around my city for a “chance” to get a trip. I was not told this was a lottery. I am very confused. That’s prob why onboarding is so vague with real info that can help a new driver figure this out.
It’s not because your new or a lottery. It depends how busy your areas is. My area is always busy I have to decline orders Because it can get overwhelming.
1. How near you are to a restaraunt
but if you got a bad customer review, you will actually go down as a preferred driver for some time.
This could also happen if, you made a mistake with the order.
Or took too long.
But if 2 drivers didnt make any mistakes or get bad review, it will prob go to nearest.
Hi Mike my friend is a uber eats driver and she has not been able to receive consistent order. She has reset her phone reset app and no luck and she has also had the IT department look at her account and nothing. Do you have any tips to help her please and thank you.
Today on a Saturday evening in england i cycled to two boost areas and got nothing at all :(
so many time I was picking up orders from 10km point away where the same restaurant is 2km away nearby the drop off point
and some times had pick up locations 10km+ lol
This might’ve been good 3 years ago. But I can literally hang out in an area chock full of restaurants in LA, during dinner time, and just get nothing for hours.
Simple concept i usually go on line when @ home whilst getting ready 🙃 once out I've already been pinged to pickup order.. usually I've declined 2 even before im ready to leave home! Furthermore i take my time as i hate waiting for orders @ restaurants so 9 times outa ten i arrive orders ready its packed, im ready to rock and roll... give the restaurant a thumbs 👍up on app on pickup notifying recipient im on route 😎 pre saved Copy and paste the generic message to customer.. works to generate a tip. Ieft @ door as per instruction on del notes. Have a wonderful day.
I then proceed to my usual spot no rush away from all other drivers im pinged on route very often do i have to wait for orders..
If your wheels are moving you're earning.
Think smart 🤔
Great idea, I love the way you think.
Though I like to write it naturally each time without copy and paste. It feels more natural that way.
I think people just don't use Uber eats . Unless they want to not tip you. I never make money using Uber eats
hi I'm a beginner please can you tell me when I have delivered my order how can I go back to the pick up location via uber eats app? Thanks
Try driving back
You have to add priority delivery service instead of standard otherwise, they would possibly miss your address or run off with your food.
How do you do that
This is completely wrong, that has nothing to do with this video.
I don’t understand.
I have enough money on my card but it keeps saying insufficient balance and they’re not accepting my order
I know this video is old, but I'd just like to point out that the algorithm is everything. I've only been doing Uber Eats since December, and after seeing so many YT videos telling you to decline crappy paying orders, I've always done that.
As of a week ago, something changed and I've ended up on the Uber Eats algorithm s**tlist, the frequency of my incoming pings and my earnings have taken a nosedive ever since the app had a recent update and started warning me that my acceptance rate is too low. And when I do get pings, they're always $3-$4 orders. The only time I make money is if it's more than busy enough for everyone, or later at night after everyone has gone home. Dinner rushes are nonexistent for me now, and orders are always already sitting there and slightly cold when I get there now(because I was last to be offered the order). I've been slowly trying to increase my AR, but my ping frequency isn't improving.
Just be forewarned, if you're a new driver, don't let your acceptance rating drop too low for too long unless you're in an overly busy area, you'll end up screwed like me. Uber is a truly evil company, I have a consistent 98-99% approval rating with tons of those compliment badges, but it doesn't help.
Well first of all, this whole discussion is based on if the restaurant is doing what they should with their app. Many of them I don't think pay much attention once they have received the order and start processing it. And when It's a busy Friday or Saturday evening in a large city, half the time the orders are not ready when you arrive. I always give certain restaurants extra time. It takes working an area and knowing restaurants well enough to know how much time you need to give them before you go rushing over there. I see so many drivers wasting time running like maniacs just because they got a ping and the food isn't ready. Also certain places like Taco Bell and McDonald's are always not be ready unless it's very slow. You must remember as well that the restaurants cater to in-house customers first. Very few restaurants have mobile orders and in-house orders being done separately.
I ordered food on UE as a customer and it showed the driver on a bike. Well he pulls up in the car, and explains that he puts his settings to “bicycle” to get shorter runs. Might be something to consider during a quest bonus period.
Be careful of this! You will be deactivated for overspeeding for using a car while on a bicycle mode in deliveries.
No, do not be careful, please don't do it. There's a high chance you will be deactivated and there's a low chance for reactivation.
Thanks for the advice!
Even because you should pay food insurance if you delivery with your car
Bump
I get 2 orders on the same time in most restaurants. You have to drive in a comercial area or a specific town that's packed with restaurants. Lol, I got here looking for "why ubereats don't send a welcome package" cause door dash does it. Anyways.
Is there an algorithm where ubereats just stops sending orders to veteran drivers? because I literally wanted this to be a side hustle for me on sundays but every sunday I log and it gets slower and slower by the minute to the point where I get no pings at all no matter what time I’m online and at this point I’m about to just delete my account altogether. this thing has become a huge waste of time. I went from seeing at least 100 on sundays to now nothing.
yea I’m done with this app. its literally gotten sooooooo slow in nyc idk whats going on but I’m not wasting my time anymore.
You probably be on it too much and just telling you to take a break
So I’m standing at Chick fil A with other UE drivers and the guys phone next to me is sending him order after order! My phone is doing nothing!! Why?
He probably has a high acceptance rate
I've noticed sometimes I'm too close to the restaurant
I’m at 2 hours now with no orders request
Two years after this video was posted, over dropped all surge pricing for ubereats drivers, maybe they're still surge for people driving I have no idea.
Im literally never been offered a delivery request but it shows money on the app so idk whats going on
I'm making about $120+ a day doing this and I'm fine with that frankly
There has been many times that I had to take a screenshot and make a dispute. On a payment transaction, because I feel that the algorithm was wrong. And I have won many disputes because the algorithm just doesn't add up properly. Especially when my base fare is $2.49, and Uber is making $3.10. Something is wrong there. Also on a batched delivery I will pick up two deliveries from the same restaurant but deliver them to separate locations. And that's when u really gets screwed. Sometimes they don't even show what the customer tipped. And it's common sense to realize that when there is no more boost promotions that means there are a bunch of drivers back on the road getting screwed
I am in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada. The Ubereat driver app never shows the customers' tips.
@@SunnyShiny1 never
Something doesn't add up, I agree. Check earnings.
Hi anyone help me I don’t get any order for last 3 days ...
How do you get more orders on Evike for Uber eats? I just started a couple weeks ago and I’ve only gotten one order.
Bro Justice_Techz will help you out on this
🤔this helps explain why when my roommate and I tried to use the system he didn't get my order even though we planned for him to be at the restaurant I was going to be ordering from.
Why is my hotspot location red never see. That before normally more like orange
New to Uber eats, thanks for all the information, really useful !
Hi I have just opened my uber eat but I don't get promotion while there is promotion
