Also, the other apps do not have insurance policies. I could not get insured for my car unless I was only driving for Uber Eats. If you get into a crash on the other apps, and it's your fault, your personal insurance *will not cover* it. You could be personally liable for tens of thousands of dollars.
You can make a lot in a day. What's the hard part is that sometimes restaurants are stupid or the customer expects me to pin point find them at their apartment complex without telling me specific directions
Had my first apartment order the other day where they wanted delivered to their front door, receptionist was no help in finding the room, just told me where the elevator was, some random guy noticed I was having trouble and gave me directions... In the opposite direction, managed to find the room, no tip from the customer either
I just went to another stupid restaurant to pick up order they act me like I am working there ignoring me looking another customers and table make me wait at the restaurant even my pack is ready, they keep saying wait and food gets cold I canceled the order because customer will complain to me why I I late or why their food is cold....
I sometimes hate doing apartments Bc they tell us to leave it outside their door without telling us that we first have to go through a gate & a code will be required 😒
I write out little thank you cards on posted notes and just let my customer know that I appreciate them and letting them know they are in my prayers during these trying times and staple them to the outside of the bag. They really appreciate it and my tips have gone way up. I had to add to this comment because some people have to take this comment and feel the need to to leave a hateful reply. I want to make it clear that I DO NOT leave my notes just for the tip, regardless if I receive a tip or not I will wish them a great day and send a prayer up for them no matter what. I know I have a kind heart and i am very grateful for the tips I receive because I am a single mother who has a child with mental illness and I have no help and doctors and medications are not cheap. I send love and pray for everyone in this world. If you are gonna leave a hateful comment I kindly ask you to refrain from it and instead put love out into the universe instead of hate 🙏
I've gotten extra tips for going out of my way. I offered to get the customer a half gallon of milk at a different store because where she ordered it from was out. Took me only an extra 5 minutes. She was SO APPRECIATIVE that she raised my tip from $8 to $22!!!!
I've only been driving for Uber Eats for a total of 8 hours of a span of 2 days and made $163.13 total so far. Tips definitely make the difference in pay! I'm lucky enough that I live by a pretty busy area. Nice video 👌
It usually averages out to $20 an hour is what I've noticed and that's during the week. Fri Sat and Sun for me are the good days where you can do $25-$30 an hour or more. I'm glad I'm in the Chicago land market.
I am in phx area. I make 25 a hour religiously. Other then Tuesday and maybe Wed. Friday through Sunday I work 12 hours might take break from 2 to 4 pm. But make 300 to 400 those days. I always make more the 1450 a week. If I go hard I have made 2300
What I find helps a ton is having a default message sent out to the customer as soon as I arrive at the restaurant. "Hello, this is your delivery driver X. I just arrived at the restaurant. The order still isn't ready, so I apologize for any delay" I usually get a Thank You reply This definitely will calm any frustrations the customer may have for you "taking too long".
If it’s paying 14$+ sure if the wait time is less than 10 mins if not I just cancel it by the time they re schedule it to another driver the food should be ready and the next driver won’t have issue and I would most likely be on another delivery near by on the busy area .
I do something similar in dinner. I have a default message “hi this is your UE delivery driver, traffic is bad right now because of x y and z, so there may be a delay. I’m sorry for I convinced and I’ll be there asap
If there is no wait at my pickup, I do not send them a pre pick up text. But I ALWAYS send them out a message before I start the delivery.. Letting them know I just picked up their order and my ETA is 8 min or whatever. On the other hand, you are spot on, any delay I always let them know and apologize. And then let them know I will text them as soon as I have their order and am on the way. I avoid all McDonalds orders after 2am. The lines out here in AZ are at least 10-15 cars deep from 2am to 3:30am. Phoenix is the new city that NEVER SLEEPS lolol
I always write something similar: Hi, this is Shikha your ubereats driver. The restaurant is still working on your order. Thank you for your patience. 😊 “
I’d like to add one tip. I drive from 2am to noon and I make plenty doing this. Lots of orders and less traffic. Less tragic allows me to complete deliveries faster and move on to the next.
Do you live/work in a city? Or better question, what's the city you primarily deliver to? I noticed at night I was still getting orders.. but my customers didn't tip as much or at all it appeared to me, maybe just unlucky.
Yes! I live in West Palm Beach Florida and I only work Midnight to 2am. It pays a minimum 40$ a hour. Most I’ve made was 58$ in a hour. I try to make it to 4-6AM because it is worth it on the weekends.
Where I live there’s not many orders overnight except Friday and Saturday. But many restaurants close so you might have to go far away for pick-ups. In the morning I don’t do deliveries. So much traffic and nowhere to park, and very easy to get a ticket. I got $100 ticket for parking in front of a hydrant for ~40sec.
I’m happy I started doing Uber and investing my money as soon as I got out of highschool. There’s a lot more other stuff I want to do but I pray I see a bright future ahead of me. And I wish you all the best as well. I hope your Uber deliveries go well especially the ones that pedal around on bike like me.
@@mccalloutdoors9487 Yeah it is in my area, I get around 40 dollars every 2-3 hours on average and that's practically what someone who works minimum age gets for the same amount of time but at the end of the day it depends on how much tips you get because you can end up making way more in that amount of time
@@mccalloutdoors9487 I myself don't have much to worry about since I'm in college and living off my parents until I'm ready to support myself fully. I wouldn't say uber eats is something you want to rely on but if you are persistent they give you gold benefits and you can look into that yourself. It works out though if you want to make money to the side. i think doing both uber eats and uber driving would get you paid a lot just remember to add up expenses like gas and whatnot. I suggest going to busy areas like for instance, I like to go to manhattan since it is very busy in that area.
Man Uber eats in my area is lit! I work at a pizza shop from 4:30pm to 10pm when I finish there I turn Uber on until 2am and will make $70-$100 in a quick 4 hours on top of what I get at the pizza shop the money is coming in!
@@farhanfarooqi7190 $20/hour is without expenses. if you cut out taxes, gas, car maintenance then its really $12 an hour. so making extra dollars over 20 is when the really money comes in my opinion.
@Erick Lopez I drive a 2021 Toyota Corolla that has a 13gallon gas tank which averages 25-32mpg city and 35-40 highway I spend about $30-$35 depending on the gas station, I go to a Shell gas station that has gas for $3.05 and with T-Mobile Tuesdays you get 10¢ off a gallon but my area consists of hills up and down so I do waste a bit more gas on average still you’re gonna make more money than you spend gas
@@santoryu2753 I mean how often are we maintaining the car it’s not like you’re changing things on the daily the most you have to maintain is the oil, I’m at 15k miles and I’ve gone for 2 oil changes and I get my tires rotated every 5k miles, you’ll make more than you spend
There haven’t been any quest bonuses for me yet... I’ve only done UE for 2 weeks now and am at $1,321 in that time frame. I only do the peak hours and I only take orders above $7. Loving every minute of driving, there are tens and twenties floating out there waiting for people to just grab them up. So easy and so much money for literally no work.
This is my first weekend and I’ve driven a total of 7 hours and have made over $200 already. I live in a nicer area with a huge strip of restaurants. Some really pricey ones and received $13.00 tips 3 times today.
@Lisbeth Sifontes my friend does it too and the other day he made a $25 tip. Just try it! If you like it, keep going…make sure you do your research on keeping track of your mileage and prepare yourself. Overall I enjoy it;) hope this helps!
I have my own little system. I enjoy doing trips between 7pm and 3am. Less traffic, less wait time especially if it's a small business pickup. If I want to maximize profit, I will also do some trips in the late morning and afternoon time, go ninja mode during peak traffic hours, and take trips ONLY close to my house between 4pm and 7pm on weekdays. On average, I like to take trips under 5 miles. Every now and then take trips over 5, but under 10. That is if the pay is good and no traffic, or I want to do some trips on the way be to my house. online about 5 to 6 hours and make between $80 and $120 in my area that day. It all depends on if customers tip or not.
Excellent video!! I don’t accept any orders under $10 per trip. That way if I do 10 trips that’s $100 off back. So stacked orders should be over $20…Plus tips. You get to do what you want when you want it’s perfect!! I’ve gotten a trip that was by far the shortest trip maybe half a block the customer could’ve walked..and they tipped me $26.30…don’t snooze on ubereats!
@@ayebell31 what am I talking about? You talk like if all the trips were over 10 dollars, where I drive I would be lucky if I get 1 trip over 10 dollars a week, including the rich nice areas. if the customer tips high uber takes most of the fees for itself. Leaving almost only the tip. As it is uber charges ridiculous fees so customers are not willing to tip high. That's what I mean Pay was great when covid was at its peak nowadays you have to be extremely smart wiht what orders you choose. In any case uber is barely profitable no matter what you say, Wear and tear on car YOUR TIME GAS it all adds up You end up making little money People dont think about it that way All they see is money but dont account expenses.
@@fueledbyalx Your area has absolutely nothing to do with me. I live in Chicago and it is very busy and the tips are great. I’ve made over $200 in 3 hours and didn’t even drive 15 miles in total…So just because in your area you can’t get rides over $10 or whatever MAYBE you need to choose something else instead of being butthurt at people who can actually make money from it. As fast as wear and tear On my car…I only do this 4 days out the week for a few hours and the other days I’m in the house……So again…WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!??
@@ayebell31 So according to your numbers On a good week You would be making 800 a week working 12 or so hours And 4 days That comes to about 66 dollars an hour and 13 dollars per mile I find it hard to believe I think ubers need to move to chicago then
I’m a brand new driver. I started 3 days ago. I drove between 4:00pm and 9:00pm each day and made $180 staying within a 5-10 mile radius in my home town. I’m very lucky that I live an area with a lot of restaurants all on one strip and then a whole bunch of houses,hotels and apartments only minutes away.
Yes stacked orders can bite you you know where. You never know where you're going to end up. I got burned today. First customer was close, second customer was way far away. Took me way out of my busy area. Lots of dead miles coming back.
I had a customer the other day whose order kept getting cancelled since the restaurant stopped serving lunch but her request kept popping up since it was early in the AM, I messaged her letting her know that they stopped serving lunch and I stayed in the parking lot awaiting her response if she wanted to choose anything from the breakfast menu - she was quick in response I told the restaurant and waiting in the parking lot for her order no more than 5 minutes and she tipped me $20. Was not expecting that at all, her order was around $17 so after that generous tip I made $37 on that alone just for going that extra inch for her.
That’s what I’m hoping for. I just hit signed up with UE because DD has been so disappointing over the last couple months. My friend did UE and she’s killin it!!
Thanks Mike. I also drive for Uber Eats in the Pittsburgh market. Your advice is spot on. The only thing I have to add is that in addition to your great tips, I use a time to earnings ratio depending on the time of day and demand. I set how much I think I can earn in a particular hour. When the offer comes in I see what it pays, the estimated time and if it would add up to what I'm looking for. I also stay away from time wasting places that haven't had the food ready. I find Doordash orders aren't ready when I get there like Uber Eats. Again, time to money ratio.
If u use a reputable tax preparer they will give you all the info you need to know as far as what you can claim for deductions and where to send $ for things like medicare or social security. Unfortunately there r somethings we wont b allowed to deduct.
Good job, Mike. I just started this as my side gig last week - I used to deliver pizza back in NJ & it was great for me. UE's been good for me so far in Las Vegas. Your videos helped me quickly apply what I already knew to this new platform. Thanks!
I did that when I first started and yesterday I received on my last 2 tips over 30.00 and I communicate with all my customers on there order. I just started about a week ago Thanks for the advice
I have been noticing a slowdown on orders in my area the last few weeks. I kind of attribute it to people actually running out of money in this economy to spend on this luxury. However, when the first wave of Covid hit in the Spring, my orders exploded. I wonder if the second wave may do the same thing, but so far have not noticed it.
Here to, in London Ontario... lots of low orders at peak pay times. I declined 15 low pay orders today and only did 4 all day and then there was an outtage at dinner time.
Best solution is the second you get an order hit the stop the new request button that way no new orders will come in until you deliver that first and then repeat that step. So, get order then hit stop new request button it's a life saver.
I hate what they give you a double order because one said "4.4 miles total," but the second drop off is like 10 more miles away! I've been accepting only the 75 cents to $1 a mile. The new order radar is pretty cool too.
I like your videos and I would like to share what happened with me today. You talked about the distance, tonight I received a radar order it was $7.48 for 20.5 Kms I was reading the information about this coming order when I saw a message in read saying that another driver took the order. I wish that driver will find your videos on the internet to teaching him what to look for and how make a quick math adding in his mind.
It would be nice if Uber showed weather or not it was a leave at door when excepting it. There has been many times that Iv accepted a half decent order hoping for a wait in car or meet in lobby to have to take an elevator to the 30th floor and spend an extra 10 minutes finding parking and getting the food to them.
I calculate travel distance based on traffic density. Crowded roads means longer to get to the destination. I'll take a long trip if I know most of the travel is an empty stretch of road.
I’m going to be honest you make more per hour with DD but it only works in certain areas. UE orders come in rapidly but per order, mile, and hour is hit or miss. I averaged 200 per day with Wednesday and Friday being crazy good with UE. But there are days where I make 60$ and I feel like I’ve been driving all day…
After Months months after doing nothing but fast food I realized this ain’t it. Focused now on restaraunt and it’s been flawless, I got a shopping plaza I go to next to a ritzy neighborhood.
Agreed on not being able to see where you are delivering before accepting. I picked up a pizza from "P-Hut," and when II slid to deliver... the address was 25min away... and I was stuck with it leading me into the middle of nowhere. A 1hr delivery... for a $10 tip. SMFH
I've made $70 dollars in 2 hours doing uber eats and thats between me takeing breaks and I only did 7 deliveries. What I do is look at the miles , how long its gonna take me to get there, and accept. I'm not going over 22 minutes to deliver food and the pay have to be $7 or more. And also I do is go to an ares where I know alot of college students hang at. They tip big however I have a problem with the places they want me to go dont have parking
Subscribed! I only do UE and always communicate with every client including confirming the address. But i have to be smarter with the math on maximizing my hours online. Thank you and I hope to learn more from you!
You were right about colleges. Here in Omaha the main university is right next to a massive midtown area with dozens and dozens of restaurants and takeout drinks locations. The orders are just back to back.
With no more guaranted earnings or complete trips bonus there's no incentive to accepting a second delivery. They also auto estimate the tip in as your pay EVERY TIME. And they give them up to an hour to take the tip back. When the second delivery comes in it's the total of the two. So if I'm doing a $12 delivery and a second one comes in and says $15 you're think ok $12+$15 not bad. No it's $15 total WITH estimated tip
I live in a dense college town and with students it’s stupid busy. I can make $100 easy in 2-3 hours. The double orders are the best imo because pick ups and usually close distance and you nailed those two drop offs or it’s a 2 order in 1 store. I almost get $2 a mile now.
The other apps do not have insurance policies. I could not get insured for my car unless I was only driving for Uber Eats. If you get into a crash on the other apps, and it's your fault, your personal insurance will not cover it. You could be personally liable for tens of thousands of dollars. They don't tell you this upfront, of course, but it's in the fine print.
I don’t accept Walgreens and housing projects orders. Walgreens is too much and takes time , and housing projects customers never tip. I avoid building that go high floors. I like delivering houses because it’s easier. If I ever accept high floor buildings I just leave it with security in lobby. Could care less for that tip. ( I’m here in NYC)
Unfortunately in my market im seeing average 3-4 bucks per drop and after 3 hrs of order with tips I get around 30-40 bucks. Barely enough to cover gas. All apps in my area are the same. I don't do this everyday just the weekends. I do message and call all my customers, bought a bag to keep food warm. That is why I make what I do. I had only one order over 6 bucks. Out of 15 deliveries. My market is in Springfield Missouri we don't get all these bonuses I never seen the Hotspot locations only on postmates and I never gets orders on that so I'm stuck on uber eats. What can I do to get better yall?
check your tax summary from uber eats example of what is may look like gross 30,000 expenses/fees/tax 14,000 net earnings 16,000 yet they will report you made 30, 000 to the irs but you only got 16,000 deposited into your bank account and you will be hit with a much much higher tax bill than you thought................mike can u do a vid on this pls
Hi Mike, appreciate the tips and the video. I've been doing UE pt for about a month now. I'm averaging $20 hr focused now on the more profitable trips while increasing my earnings per hour
It feels like a complete waste of time waiting for requests for two hours straight and I get nothing. However, every single day that I start “Ubering,” I seem to get a request within three minutes of being online but after I complete that delivery, I’ll be waiting for two whole hours before I get another request. I’m literally wasting my time and am thinking about making a civil case. It seems like this might be a “rigged” system already. I have noticed that the payout my look worth it but if you really look into the delivery and look into the miles, it really is not worth it. For example, going eight miles for a single delivery worth $10.50. Then I’ll sit in the middle of a restaurant hub for minutes upon minutes waiting for requests but actually won’t receive any requests unless I move about a mile away from the restaurant hub. (Restaurant hub: Sit in restaurants, fast food restaurants, bars, etc.). I expect to get feedback from this or I will be taking action a step further. Yea, thanks.
I just wish they had a waiting time limit like rides do, 5 min or so. Some restaurants abuse their time, they tell you the food is coming and after 50 min you are still at the restaurant waiting. Ah and those drive through orders, especially those “fast food” places, when you arrive and see 10 cars on line, and each car moves every ~7 min sometimes even 10 per car, you know you are screwed. And yes, tips are a most for delivery, when there’s no tip you are underpaid most of the time. The thing with those fast food restaurants is sometimes they order 2 or 1 $1 burger so you know already IF they tip you it will be ~$1.
Just tried to do these in Orlando and nothing changed much, I went home with 150$ after driving 10 hrs for UberEats.. The only thing matter is your market
If there’s a promotion to complete x amount of trips by a certain time, is there a difference between trip and delivery? So let’s say I completed two deliveries in one trip, does the promotion recognize that as two trips or just one? How does adding an order while you’re completing a trip factor into this?
I am new to this Uber eats driving and I have been trying to find out ways to improve my customers satisfaction. Is there any tips you guys are willing to share? Please anything helps
If u have low acceptance rate it will give people wit higher acceptance the better orders so be mindful of that. Im a 4.97 star rating and been wit uber 3 and a half years 💪
Bro I love your videos thanks very accurate information you're displaying I drive for Uber eats and I notice I get a lot of a lot of stack orders however I run into the problem that you mentioned a lot I'll get an order that's one mile away and then I'll receive additional order that will increase the order by six to seven dollars and take me 8 or 10 miles away from my hot zone which platform do you think has the best compensation versus expenses and why would definitely be a great video keep up the great work
Oh. My. God. I thought downtown was better. But I just worked 1 HOUR (2-3:15) drove 23 miles. And I made 63$ all because I paid attention to the map, and my tips to miles. I am so glad I found you. Thank you.
I was thinking the same because I drive a 2017 BMW X1 and I get more order requests from Uber eats than doordash consistently and with higher pay to luxury apartments and a lot of mansions. And DoorDash has way more restaurants, grocery, and retail places to choose from in my DoorDash zone but doesn’t come in back to back like Uber eats
However if you refuse an order or simply just ignore it will reduce your accept rate, it may cost Uber system reduce the amount of order assign to you. Please let me know if I am wrong.
Hey Mike should I take an order that is paying $4.00 for 1.1 miles or $4.50 for 2 miles ? I’m thinking should I even be taking these orders even if the $ to miles is enough... thank for your help my goal is to make no less than $150 for a 12pm-6pm shift
I am confused for the restaurants tell me they can not supply the food as the customer's requests. Or short something. (The crazy thing is the restaurants let me contact customer to make a decision ). The better solutions is I cancel the trip?
I just started in Manhattan KS. Decent size college town and my $$ per mile are around 2-3.00/m. But the round trip times are kinda long. Do you look at that or is that typical??
Question For example: When you get a job and a price comes up Of $7.15 Is that how much you’re making for that job or is that how much the UberEats client is spending on his food & UberEats delivery? 7.15 is his total including uberEats fare Or 7.15 is the total I’m making just to deliver the food.
Hi Mike, can you drive for different companies? I heard from Deliveroo that it's only allowed to work for them and you have to wear the Deliveroo clothes during the shift?
You can drive for Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub at the same time, amd literally be online and active for all 3 at the same time if you wanted to. I never do more than 2 of the 3 and I'll end up sticking with the one that is sending me more orders (even if I'm declining them) or 1 that's paying more.. but prefer both of those things. If I accept an order on 1, I'll make myself unavailable on the other, and will become available for that 1 again after that previous order was delivered... Then just go with which one seems to work better for you at the moment. Some mornings UE might keep my busy and later in the day it might be DD. But yes, you can "work" for all 3 and even Postmates at the same time.
It is the opposite in my market. Uber eats gets the least orders but they are usually of much better value than the door dash orders or they actually tell you how much you can expect to make on the order
"Why are you only driving with Uber Eats?" Because all the other apps weren't accepting new drivers. Yup, that happened to me
Use another zip code
@@jonathanrodriguez3880 I tried that , still didn't work
Same here! I’m on the waiting list for DoorDash and Instacart. So far, I’m not liking Uber Eats. The orders are terrible and limited
Same
Also, the other apps do not have insurance policies. I could not get insured for my car unless I was only driving for Uber Eats. If you get into a crash on the other apps, and it's your fault, your personal insurance *will not cover* it. You could be personally liable for tens of thousands of dollars.
You can make a lot in a day. What's the hard part is that sometimes restaurants are stupid or the customer expects me to pin point find them at their apartment complex without telling me specific directions
Had my first apartment order the other day where they wanted delivered to their front door, receptionist was no help in finding the room, just told me where the elevator was, some random guy noticed I was having trouble and gave me directions... In the opposite direction, managed to find the room, no tip from the customer either
I just went to another stupid restaurant to pick up order they act me like I am working there ignoring me looking another customers and table make me wait at the restaurant even my pack is ready, they keep saying wait and food gets cold I canceled the order because customer will complain to me why I I late or why their food is cold....
I sometimes hate doing apartments Bc they tell us to leave it outside their door without telling us that we first have to go through a gate & a code will be required 😒
I totally agree specifically night time I don't like deliver to apt but you don't now when take the order 😒
I write out little thank you cards on posted notes and just let my customer know that I appreciate them and letting them know they are in my prayers during these trying times and staple them to the outside of the bag. They really appreciate it and my tips have gone way up.
I had to add to this comment because some people have to take this comment and feel the need to to leave a hateful reply.

I’m gonna start doing that
@@83quez you will definitely see your tips going up!
Smart!
I don’t do it so much for the tips though, I genuinely care about them :)
These days some people get upset when you mention anything about prayer and that could affect tips.
I've gotten extra tips for going out of my way. I offered to get the customer a half gallon of milk at a different store because where she ordered it from was out. Took me only an extra 5 minutes. She was SO APPRECIATIVE that she raised my tip from $8 to $22!!!!
I've only been driving for Uber Eats for a total of 8 hours of a span of 2 days and made $163.13 total so far. Tips definitely make the difference in pay! I'm lucky enough that I live by a pretty busy area. Nice video 👌
@No Malice it takes a week for the money to transfer to your account
@@monetarymeerkat nope, you can pay .50 cents to have an instant cash out
It usually averages out to $20 an hour is what I've noticed and that's during the week. Fri Sat and Sun for me are the good days where you can do $25-$30 an hour or more. I'm glad I'm in the Chicago land market.
Be on the lookout for those quest incentives. I literally made 148 in 2 hours. I completed a daily quest and got rewarded 100 for it.
I am in phx area. I make 25 a hour religiously. Other then Tuesday and maybe Wed. Friday through Sunday I work 12 hours might take break from 2 to 4 pm. But make 300 to 400 those days. I always make more the 1450 a week. If I go hard I have made 2300
What I find helps a ton is having a default message sent out to the customer as soon as I arrive at the restaurant.
"Hello, this is your delivery driver X. I just arrived at the restaurant. The order still isn't ready, so I apologize for any delay"
I usually get a Thank You reply
This definitely will calm any frustrations the customer may have for you "taking too long".
If it’s paying 14$+ sure if the wait time is less than 10 mins if not I just cancel it by the time they re schedule it to another driver the food should be ready and the next driver won’t have issue and I would most likely be on another delivery near by on the busy area .
I do something similar in dinner. I have a default message “hi this is your UE delivery driver, traffic is bad right now because of x y and z, so there may be a delay. I’m sorry for I convinced and I’ll be there asap

If there is no wait at my pickup, I do not send them a pre pick up text. But I ALWAYS send them out a message before I start the delivery.. Letting them know I just picked up their order and my ETA is 8 min or whatever. On the other hand, you are spot on, any delay I always let them know and apologize. And then let them know I will text them as soon as I have their order and am on the way. I avoid all McDonalds orders after 2am. The lines out here in AZ are at least 10-15 cars deep from 2am to 3:30am. Phoenix is the new city that NEVER SLEEPS lolol
I always write something similar: Hi, this is Shikha your ubereats driver. The restaurant is still working on your order. Thank you for your patience. 😊 “
I’d like to add one tip. I drive from 2am to noon and I make plenty doing this. Lots of orders and less traffic. Less tragic allows me to complete deliveries faster and move on to the next.
Do you live/work in a city? Or better question, what's the city you primarily deliver to? I noticed at night I was still getting orders.. but my customers didn't tip as much or at all it appeared to me, maybe just unlucky.
A lot of people order food this time? I'm new to this so I didn't think delivering overnight was a thing
Depends on city. Lots of 24 hr action in las Vegas.
Yes! I live in West Palm Beach Florida and I only work Midnight to 2am. It pays a minimum 40$ a hour. Most I’ve made was 58$ in a hour.
I try to make it to 4-6AM because it is worth it on the weekends.
Where I live there’s not many orders overnight except Friday and Saturday. But many restaurants close so you might have to go far away for pick-ups. In the morning I don’t do deliveries. So much traffic and nowhere to park, and very easy to get a ticket. I got $100 ticket for parking in front of a hydrant for ~40sec.
I’m happy I started doing Uber and investing my money as soon as I got out of highschool. There’s a lot more other stuff I want to do but I pray I see a bright future ahead of me. And I wish you all the best as well. I hope your Uber deliveries go well especially the ones that pedal around on bike like me.
Best of luck to you bro and you will be successful🙏🏾
I'm thinking about becoming a Uber Eats driver is it profitable?
@@mccalloutdoors9487 Yeah it is in my area, I get around 40 dollars every 2-3 hours on average and that's practically what someone who works minimum age gets for the same amount of time but at the end of the day it depends on how much tips you get because you can end up making way more in that amount of time
@@mccalloutdoors9487 I myself don't have much to worry about since I'm in college and living off my parents until I'm ready to support myself fully. I wouldn't say uber eats is something you want to rely on but if you are persistent they give you gold benefits and you can look into that yourself. It works out though if you want to make money to the side. i think doing both uber eats and uber driving would get you paid a lot just remember to add up expenses like gas and whatnot. I suggest going to busy areas like for instance, I like to go to manhattan since it is very busy in that area.
Ur investing straight outta HS?
Its me ur long lost cousin, can I get a loan
Man Uber eats in my area is lit! I work at a pizza shop from 4:30pm to 10pm when I finish there I turn Uber on until 2am and will make $70-$100 in a quick 4 hours on top of what I get at the pizza shop the money is coming in!
Yup...I've noticed no matter what for me it averages out to $20 an hour or more.
@@farhanfarooqi7190 $20/hour is without expenses. if you cut out taxes, gas, car maintenance then its really $12 an hour. so making extra dollars over 20 is when the really money comes in my opinion.
@Erick Lopez I drive a 2021 Toyota Corolla that has a 13gallon gas tank which averages 25-32mpg city and 35-40 highway I spend about $30-$35 depending on the gas station, I go to a Shell gas station that has gas for $3.05 and with T-Mobile Tuesdays you get 10¢ off a gallon but my area consists of hills up and down so I do waste a bit more gas on average still you’re gonna make more money than you spend gas
@@santoryu2753 I mean how often are we maintaining the car it’s not like you’re changing things on the daily the most you have to maintain is the oil, I’m at 15k miles and I’ve gone for 2 oil changes and I get my tires rotated every 5k miles, you’ll make more than you spend
There haven’t been any quest bonuses for me yet... I’ve only done UE for 2 weeks now and am at $1,321 in that time frame. I only do the peak hours and I only take orders above $7. Loving every minute of driving, there are tens and twenties floating out there waiting for people to just grab them up. So easy and so much money for literally no work.
This is my first weekend and I’ve driven a total of 7 hours and have made over $200 already. I live in a nicer area with a huge strip of restaurants. Some really pricey ones and received $13.00 tips 3 times today.
@Lisbeth Sifontes my friend does it too and the other day he made a $25 tip. Just try it! If you like it, keep going…make sure you do your research on keeping track of your mileage and prepare yourself. Overall I enjoy it;) hope this helps!
@@davidyannello9207 youre so ignorant wow
Wtf! What city r u in? I'm in Vegas Nd strip isnt always busy!
Wow nice I am from Houston people here at good areas are so cheap
I have my own little system. I enjoy doing trips between 7pm and 3am. Less traffic, less wait time especially if it's a small business pickup. If I want to maximize profit, I will also do some trips in the late morning and afternoon time, go ninja mode during peak traffic hours, and take trips ONLY close to my house between 4pm and 7pm on weekdays. On average, I like to take trips under 5 miles. Every now and then take trips over 5, but under 10. That is if the pay is good and no traffic, or I want to do some trips on the way be to my house. online about 5 to 6 hours and make between $80 and $120 in my area that day. It all depends on if customers tip or not.
Wish this was around after I got out of highschool. Would've done great things for my future.
You can still do it it’s never too late or too old. It’s a want .
Same
@@44890232 I agree ! Are U an Uber driver ?
me too Travis, but Gloria is so correct, nothing is ever too late :-)
I thought the same thing! But its not too late 😁
I'm killing it on UE. Made 1000 my first week and tying to do 2000 my second week. So far things are looking up
Nice job!
How many hours on average did you do every day?
Daily hourly avg?
How
Many hours u averaging?
And here comes an employee or a person who earns 30 percent of his income from referrals....
Excellent video!! I don’t accept any orders under $10 per trip. That way if I do 10 trips that’s $100 off back. So stacked orders should be over $20…Plus tips. You get to do what you want when you want it’s perfect!! I’ve gotten a trip that was by far the shortest trip maybe half a block the customer could’ve walked..and they tipped me $26.30…don’t snooze on ubereats!
Yeah, okay
And I am talking unicorn
@@fueledbyalx wtf are you talking about?
@@ayebell31 what am I talking about?
You talk like if all the trips were over 10 dollars, where I drive I would be lucky if I get 1 trip over 10 dollars a week, including the rich nice areas.
if the customer tips high uber takes most of the fees for itself. Leaving almost only the tip.
As it is uber charges ridiculous fees so customers are not willing to tip high. That's what I mean
Pay was great when covid was at its peak nowadays you have to be extremely smart wiht what orders you choose.
In any case uber is barely profitable no matter what you say,
Wear and tear on car
YOUR TIME
GAS
it all adds up
You end up making little money
People dont think about it that way
All they see is money but dont account expenses.
@@fueledbyalx Your area has absolutely nothing to do with me. I live in Chicago and it is very busy and the tips are great. I’ve made over $200 in 3 hours and didn’t even drive 15 miles in total…So just because in your area you can’t get rides over $10 or whatever MAYBE you need to choose something else instead of being butthurt at people who can actually make money from it. As fast as wear and tear On my car…I only do this 4 days out the week for a few hours and the other days I’m in the house……So again…WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!??
@@ayebell31
So according to your numbers
On a good week
You would be making
800 a week working 12 or so hours
And 4 days
That comes to about 66 dollars an hour and 13 dollars per mile
I find it hard to believe
I think ubers need to move to chicago then
I’m a brand new driver. I started 3 days ago. I drove between 4:00pm and 9:00pm each day and made $180 staying within a 5-10 mile radius in my home town. I’m very lucky that I live an area with a lot of restaurants all on one strip and then a whole bunch of houses,hotels and apartments only minutes away.
Yes stacked orders can bite you you know where. You never know where you're going to end up. I got burned today. First customer was close, second customer was way far away. Took me way out of my busy area. Lots of dead miles coming back.
The second one is trick for you. You can not see the direction and how far away.
That happened to me first day! It sucked! And it was the same pay for something close by too I learned my lesson lol
I had a customer the other day whose order kept getting cancelled since the restaurant stopped serving lunch but her request kept popping up since it was early in the AM, I messaged her letting her know that they stopped serving lunch and I stayed in the parking lot awaiting her response if she wanted to choose anything from the breakfast menu - she was quick in response I told the restaurant and waiting in the parking lot for her order no more than 5 minutes and she tipped me $20. Was not expecting that at all, her order was around $17 so after that generous tip I made $37 on that alone just for going that extra inch for her.
I find UE pays more in our area. DD orders are $4-5 and UE I sometime get $10 up $20 with tips
Same here
That’s what I’m hoping for. I just hit signed up with UE because DD has been so disappointing over the last couple months. My friend did UE and she’s killin it!!
No. Liar. Dd tips a lot e.g. $50 while UB around $5
Thanks Mike. I also drive for Uber Eats in the Pittsburgh market. Your advice is spot on. The only thing I have to add is that in addition to your great tips, I use a time to earnings ratio depending on the time of day and demand. I set how much I think I can earn in a particular hour. When the offer comes in I see what it pays, the estimated time and if it would add up to what I'm looking for. I also stay away from time wasting places that haven't had the food ready. I find Doordash orders aren't ready when I get there like Uber Eats. Again, time to money ratio.
You and your brother was right about colleges i was driving yesterday and I was by Unlv back to back easy order. U guys rock 🎸
If the ordet say 10$, do the EU have to pay the full price?
I live in Vegas so I’ll keep this in mind
We’re approaching tax season can you do a video about tax deductions example and stuff related to Uber eat taxing
Yes look for more coming regarding taxes
@cory kleckner they don’t deduct anything from your pay regarding insurance. You have to do that on your own.
If u use a reputable tax preparer they will give you all the info you need to know as far as what you can claim for deductions and where to send $ for things like medicare or social security. Unfortunately there r somethings we wont b allowed to deduct.
Good job, Mike. I just started this as my side gig last week - I used to deliver pizza back in NJ & it was great for me. UE's been good for me so far in Las Vegas. Your videos helped me quickly apply what I already knew to this new platform. Thanks!
If the order say 20$, does the costumer have to pay the full amount?
I did that when I first started and yesterday I received on my last 2 tips over 30.00 and I communicate with all my customers on there order. I just started about a week ago Thanks for the advice
I have been noticing a slowdown on orders in my area the last few weeks. I kind of attribute it to people actually running out of money in this economy to spend on this luxury. However, when the first wave of Covid hit in the Spring, my orders exploded. I wonder if the second wave may do the same thing, but so far have not noticed it.
Here to, in London Ontario... lots of low orders at peak pay times. I declined 15 low pay orders today and only did 4 all day and then there was an outtage at dinner time.
Best solution is the second you get an order hit the stop the new request button that way no new orders will come in until you deliver that first and then repeat that step. So, get order then hit stop new request button it's a life saver.
In one hour I got 60 dollars including tips. It was about 6 trips, 6 miles total.lovin it
How'd you manage that?
@@elconejito99 depends on where you live honestly
From watching you I have learned what to accept and decline. It has definitely helped me make the same or more money and working less
Thanks for sharing Marcus 👊🏻
Quit my job and has been going great thanks Mike
I hate what they give you a double order because one said "4.4 miles total," but the second drop off is like 10 more miles away! I've been accepting only the 75 cents to $1 a mile. The new order radar is pretty cool too.
I started my business and until business picks up, I will be doing this part-time to gain some extra $$
I like your videos and I would like to share what happened with me today. You talked about the distance, tonight I received a radar order it was $7.48 for 20.5 Kms I was reading the information about this coming order when I saw a message in read saying that another driver took the order. I wish that driver will find your videos on the internet to teaching him what to look for and how make a quick math adding in his mind.
It would be nice if Uber showed weather or not it was a leave at door when excepting it. There has been many times that Iv accepted a half decent order hoping for a wait in car or meet in lobby to have to take an elevator to the 30th floor and spend an extra 10 minutes finding parking and getting the food to them.
I calculate travel distance based on traffic density. Crowded roads means longer to get to the destination. I'll take a long trip if I know most of the travel is an empty stretch of road.
I made 110 on my first day 😊 I plan on working rest of the week
I've signed up for all the other delivery apps and I'm on the waiting list. That why I only do uber eats
I live in San Diego and I'm averaging $28-$30 an hour doing Uber Eats so far for 185 deliveries
It would be nice if most comments would say what city they work in and how many days /hours. It’s not hard plus no one is gonna take your job away
I’m going to be honest you make more per hour with DD but it only works in certain areas. UE orders come in rapidly but per order, mile, and hour is hit or miss. I averaged 200 per day with Wednesday and Friday being crazy good with UE. But there are days where I make 60$ and I feel like I’ve been driving all day…
Thanks for this video! I noticed on the stacked orders that the first order would be delivered last....smh. So, I will watch it from now on.
After Months months after doing nothing but fast food I realized this ain’t it. Focused now on restaraunt and it’s been flawless, I got a shopping plaza I go to next to a ritzy neighborhood.
Believe it or not I make bank in the early morning running Starbucks and McDonald's!
I been using your tips on U.E.and iam making money 💰
Good to hear George!
Where do you work George?
@@YourDriverMike what state do you work at ?
I work in Spain in your BEST day working 8 hours you can make 60-70
Agreed on not being able to see where you are delivering before accepting. I picked up a pizza from "P-Hut," and when II slid to deliver... the address was 25min away... and I was stuck with it leading me into the middle of nowhere. A 1hr delivery... for a $10 tip.
SMFH
They start with me like 21 for every 3 rides, now they get down to 10.50 for every 3 rides 😒...
I feel in Philly that there are more DD orders but most of them are garbage no tipping orders
I've made $70 dollars in 2 hours doing uber eats and thats between me takeing breaks and I only did 7 deliveries. What I do is look at the miles , how long its gonna take me to get there, and accept. I'm not going over 22 minutes to deliver food and the pay have to be $7 or more. And also I do is go to an ares where I know alot of college students hang at. They tip big however I have a problem with the places they want me to go dont have parking
Have you made a video on best cars for uber eats,if you have made the video please send me the link
Subscribed! I only do UE and always communicate with every client including confirming the address. But i have to be smarter with the math on maximizing my hours online. Thank you and I hope to learn more from you!
I have not seen any bonuses or quest for food delivery, right now it's only for picking up ppl which I'm not down to do personally
You were right about colleges. Here in Omaha the main university is right next to a massive midtown area with dozens and dozens of restaurants and takeout drinks locations.
The orders are just back to back.
With no more guaranted earnings or complete trips bonus there's no incentive to accepting a second delivery. They also auto estimate the tip in as your pay EVERY TIME. And they give them up to an hour to take the tip back. When the second delivery comes in it's the total of the two. So if I'm doing a $12 delivery and a second one comes in and says $15 you're think ok $12+$15 not bad. No it's $15 total WITH estimated tip
I live in a dense college town and with students it’s stupid busy. I can make $100 easy in 2-3 hours. The double orders are the best imo because pick ups and usually close distance and you nailed those two drop offs or it’s a 2 order in 1 store. I almost get $2 a mile now.
That's a great market situation. Matt is going to talk about this next week, driving in college towns. They can be cash cows as you're seeing! 🏦
The other apps do not have insurance policies. I could not get insured for my car unless I was only driving for Uber Eats. If you get into a crash on the other apps, and it's your fault, your personal insurance will not cover it. You could be personally liable for tens of thousands of dollars. They don't tell you this upfront, of course, but it's in the fine print.
I don’t accept Walgreens and housing projects orders. Walgreens is too much and takes time , and housing projects customers never tip. I avoid building that go high floors. I like delivering houses because it’s easier. If I ever accept high floor buildings I just leave it with security in lobby. Could care less for that tip. ( I’m here in NYC)
Unfortunately in my market im seeing average 3-4 bucks per drop and after 3 hrs of order with tips I get around 30-40 bucks. Barely enough to cover gas. All apps in my area are the same. I don't do this everyday just the weekends. I do message and call all my customers, bought a bag to keep food warm. That is why I make what I do. I had only one order over 6 bucks. Out of 15 deliveries. My market is in Springfield Missouri we don't get all these bonuses I never seen the Hotspot locations only on postmates and I never gets orders on that so I'm stuck on uber eats. What can I do to get better yall?
With the rising cost of gas and food prices, how can they justify an order for $2.25 for 8 miles?
Downtown Miami is dense but damn the traffic is awful and no parking. only way to do it there is bicycle or you wont make money.
I live on the beach, how would it be on a motorcycle, I've been doing that on the beach and it's been decent, I'm curious about downtown.
Thank you so much I change my profile quote. I'm sure it will really help out with me receiving tips. 🤗🤑
I make the must on UE, I make sure I always communicate
With my customers and I guess they love it because I get increases very often
I have a scooter with limited space. Does boost work with exclusively with Uber eats
You suggest turning off stacked orders. How do you do that?
check your tax summary from uber eats
example of what is may look like
gross 30,000
expenses/fees/tax 14,000
net earnings 16,000
yet they will report you made 30, 000 to the irs
but you only got 16,000 deposited into your bank account
and you will be hit with a much much higher tax bill
than you thought................mike can u do a vid on this pls
Hi Mike, appreciate the tips and the video. I've been doing UE pt for about a month now. I'm averaging $20 hr focused now on the more profitable trips while increasing my earnings per hour
Anyone have tips on delivering in NYC or Brooklyn? Which one is better during day and lunch/dinner?
@Dimplesondemand does these type of videos for that area.
So what is the milage radius I should stay in? For example should I stay below 10 miles total below 5 miles total etc?
It feels like a complete waste of time waiting for requests for two hours straight and I get nothing. However, every single day that I start “Ubering,” I seem to get a request within three minutes of being online but after I complete that delivery, I’ll be waiting for two whole hours before I get another request. I’m literally wasting my time and am thinking about making a civil case. It seems like this might be a “rigged” system already. I have noticed that the payout my look worth it but if you really look into the delivery and look into the miles, it really is not worth it. For example, going eight miles for a single delivery worth $10.50. Then I’ll sit in the middle of a restaurant hub for minutes upon minutes waiting for requests but actually won’t receive any requests unless I move about a mile away from the restaurant hub. (Restaurant hub: Sit in restaurants, fast food restaurants, bars, etc.). I expect to get feedback from this or I will be taking action a step further.
Yea, thanks.
I just wish they had a waiting time limit like rides do, 5 min or so. Some restaurants abuse their time, they tell you the food is coming and after 50 min you are still at the restaurant waiting. Ah and those drive through orders, especially those “fast food” places, when you arrive and see 10 cars on line, and each car moves every ~7 min sometimes even 10 per car, you know you are screwed. And yes, tips are a most for delivery, when there’s no tip you are underpaid most of the time. The thing with those fast food restaurants is sometimes they order 2 or 1 $1 burger so you know already IF they tip you it will be ~$1.
After 15 min waiting you should just cancel the delivery it won’t affect your rating
So your saying I should stop accepting double orders right because I won’t know where the destination of the last order will be🤔🤔🤔
Just tried to do these in Orlando and nothing changed much, I went home with 150$ after driving 10 hrs for UberEats.. The only thing matter is your market
Wow, we can make that in 6 hours max in Atlanta. That sucks!!
I live in St. Petersburg FL and I made 150 in 4 and a half hours 💀
Bro I am in texas. Fkin everything is far as hell. Even in cities I don't make more than 150 in 6 hours.
We get no boosts, quest or promotions in my area.
Tips definitely make a difference I made 179 other day and 106 of it was tips
I been doing orders for about 2 weeks and was and made like about 1,800 and now all of a sudden Uber doesn’t give me as much orders
If there’s a promotion to complete x amount of trips by a certain time, is there a difference between trip and delivery? So let’s say I completed two deliveries in one trip, does the promotion recognize that as two trips or just one? How does adding an order while you’re completing a trip factor into this?
Hi Gary, yes a stacked order will count as two trips not one regarding your Quest guarantee
I am new to this Uber eats driving and I have been trying to find out ways to improve my customers satisfaction. Is there any tips you guys are willing to share? Please anything helps
Yep I be making 40-60 every 2 hour!
And can anybody tell me if ratings effect the delivery’s we get ?
If u have low acceptance rate it will give people wit higher acceptance the better orders so be mindful of that. Im a 4.97 star rating and been wit uber 3 and a half years 💪
I need advice your super helpful
Bro I love your videos thanks very accurate information you're displaying I drive for Uber eats and I notice I get a lot of a lot of stack orders however I run into the problem that you mentioned a lot I'll get an order that's one mile away and then I'll receive additional order that will increase the order by six to seven dollars and take me 8 or 10 miles away from my hot zone which platform do you think has the best compensation versus expenses and why would definitely be a great video keep up the great work
Thanks for sharing! Blessings to you!
I am not seeing any quest. How do you get the quest ?
Oh. My. God.
I thought downtown was better. But I just worked 1 HOUR (2-3:15) drove 23 miles. And I made 63$ all because I paid attention to the map, and my tips to miles.
I am so glad I found you. Thank you.
Thanks for adding value
With the boosts, do the orders have to start and end in the boost zone?
Hi Rebecca, you'll get the boost that's in the pick up zone. The order can finish outside of the zone, that's fine.
It all depends, today I went 20 miles to nyc from Nj, and that delivery alone was $53
Does it matter what kind of car you drive on Uber Eats? When i drive my Durango I don’t get any orders.
Great question
I was thinking the same because I drive a 2017 BMW X1 and I get more order requests from Uber eats than doordash consistently and with higher pay to luxury apartments and a lot of mansions. And DoorDash has way more restaurants, grocery, and retail places to choose from in my DoorDash zone but doesn’t come in back to back like Uber eats
However if you refuse an order or simply just ignore it will reduce your accept rate, it may cost Uber system reduce the amount of order assign to you. Please let me know if I am wrong.
Hi Hang, there will be no penalty for having a low acceptance rate
Hey Mike should I take an order that is paying $4.00 for 1.1 miles or $4.50 for 2 miles ? I’m thinking should I even be taking these orders even if the $ to miles is enough... thank for your help my goal is to make no less than $150 for a 12pm-6pm shift
I am confused for the restaurants tell me they can not supply the food as the customer's requests. Or short something. (The crazy thing is the restaurants let me contact customer to make a decision ). The better solutions is I cancel the trip?
How to see ending destination? And how to chose which one is best for u?
Should you consider city miles and highway miles different in your earnings/mile ratio?
I just started in Manhattan KS. Decent size college town and my $$ per mile are around 2-3.00/m. But the round trip times are kinda long. Do you look at that or is that typical??
Ahh K-State territory
Did you play Don on Lost In Space?
Question
For example:
When you get a job and a price comes up
Of $7.15
Is that how much you’re making for that job or is that how much the UberEats client is spending on his food & UberEats delivery?
7.15 is his total including uberEats fare
Or 7.15 is the total I’m making just to deliver the food.
7.15 is how much you are making
Make video about uber east now with planner
Hey , I wonder could you make Uber eats your full time job. Like how would u pay rent.
Please Sir Mike coul’d we have to topic about tax?
Hi Mike, can you drive for different companies? I heard from Deliveroo that it's only allowed to work for them and you have to wear the Deliveroo clothes during the shift?
You can drive for Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub at the same time, amd literally be online and active for all 3 at the same time if you wanted to. I never do more than 2 of the 3 and I'll end up sticking with the one that is sending me more orders (even if I'm declining them) or 1 that's paying more.. but prefer both of those things. If I accept an order on 1, I'll make myself unavailable on the other, and will become available for that 1 again after that previous order was delivered... Then just go with which one seems to work better for you at the moment. Some mornings UE might keep my busy and later in the day it might be DD. But yes, you can "work" for all 3 and even Postmates at the same time.
@@edwindigital4598 Thanks for the detailed answer!
It is the opposite in my market. Uber eats gets the least orders but they are usually of much better value than the door dash orders or they actually tell you how much you can expect to make on the order
I have a question. Is the vehicle inspection for Uber mandatory? and is it free?
i got an oil change and a few other small things done and added in inspection and it was free
Today was my first day made $64 in 3 hours. Would’ve made more but I didn’t get cleared to start until after lunch hours 🤦🏽♂️
