How to make more money in Uber Eats?
Working for Uber Eats as a delivery driver is certainly not an easy chore. While the gig demands hard work and patience, it still pays very less when compared to many other jobs. However, there are ways through which the delivery driver can earn more money in Uber Eats. Some of these ways have been explained as follows.
Choosing the right hotspot
The higher the number of delivery requests a delivery driver on Uber Eats gets, the more they earn. The best way to ensure a high number of delivery requests at all times is by choosing the right hotspot. These hotspots can vary from town to town but are mostly areas with a large number of restaurants such as strip malls and commercial complexes.
Working in peak hours
Uber Eats charges its customers extra fees in the form of busy fees when the order has been placed during peak hours. These peak hours are usually lunch hours during weekdays and evenings during weekends. Working during these times is pretty helpful for earnings as the pay rate is multiplied in order to meet the increased demand.
Practicing great customer service
A major part of the earnings that Uber Eats delivery drivers get comes through the tips given out by customers, which is completely theirs to keep. In order to get bigger and better tips from customers, the delivery driver can practice great customer service. This can be in the form of greeting the customer, wishing them a great day and also alerting them of any delays in the order.
Getting an insulated bag
The best thing a delivery driver can do to improve their experience as well as that of the customer’s is to get an insulated food bag for the delivery. Through these bags, the quality of the food order can be preserved even if the location of the customer is pretty far away. The drivers can also separate the hot and cold items from each other using such a bag.
Working for Boost Earnings
Similar to peak hours where the demand for food delivery is very high, Uber Eats also gives out Boost Earnings in times like when a rock show is in town or when a ball game is happening in the stadium. The pay rate in these Boost Earnings is multiplied very much which allows the delivery driver to earn a lot more money.
Working for multiple apps at once
Another common way through which delivery drivers can earn more money is by delivering for multiple apps at once. Delivery drivers in Uber Eats may also deliver for DoorDash, Postmates, Grubhub, among many others in order to reap in more delivery requests, more bonuses and more incentives.
Completing Quests for Uber Eats
Uber Eats also encourages delivery drivers to complete Quests, which are a certain number of deliveries in a particular time frame. By completing these Quests, the delivery drivers are entitled to bonuses and incentives that can translate to better earnings for them. Uber Eats will automatically alert the delivery driver of such a Quest.
Alternative apps for delivery drivers
Similar to Uber Eats, there are many other delivery apps that can provide gigs for delivery drivers. Two of the best of these have been briefed as follows.
DoorDash
DoorDash is easily one of the best alternatives to Uber Eats for delivery drivers. Drivers can not only earn more money here but the company also takes care of the safety of its drivers through SafeDash. Through this feature, the driver will be put in touch with an ADT agent whenever they feel unsafe, who will stay on the line until the driver feels safe again.
Postmates
Postmates is another solid app that can be great for delivery drivers. One of the biggest advantages of working for Postmates as a delivery driver is that the time that is spent on waiting to pick up the order is also considered in the payment. And thus, delivery drivers here may feel that they are being rightly compensated in this app.
