Ive done over 2500 UE deliveries with an insulated bag. I place all deliveries on my leather seat UNDERNEATH a heavy leather jacket. Works better than a bag. Would you tip me if I walked with a pizza box?

If you come to my door and I see you with insulated bag, you probably get 10 - 15 $ Tip.
If you only come with Pizza Box, that's 5-10$ Tip.

The difference lol

Like others have said, just keep declining until you get a good request. Forest Gump said, you never no what you’re going to get.
Today a customer handed me $20. And he tipped on the app also

I know that what you are saying works. I always use hot bags, and when I take a photo of their food at the doorstep, I always set the hot bag right next to it so the customer can see it in the photo. Many times I get tips increased.

So you put my food where peoples butts go and cover it with your dirty sweaty coat and I’m supposed to like it?
You seriously need to take a food handlers course.

Only 3 spots it can go seat floorboard or rear cargo area. Floorboard is dirtiest I imagine, rear cargo has creTed spills cause of my race driving. No one sits on my front sear as it is against policy. The leather coat I use is not used for anything else but an insulator. Food is always sealed an delivered hot or warm.

Too bad you have too judge. Have a blessed day bro

Or it could go in a clean insulated food container. If you are going to handle food there are certain standards you should and are required to follow.
you should not be allowed to handle food.
if you didn’t drive like a Mario Brother you wouldn’t have spills.

Not sure what is your point.
You have a food special container, you get more tips. Very simple.

$71 in two hours and 20 minutes seems pretty good to me. Am I missing something?

Yeah he/she/them/they/it/cat/dog/gremlin/slave/peasant (whatever they see themselves as ) actually worked 4 hours ..well 3 hours 43 minutes ..the 2 hours was time he(see above for additional pronouns) was on trips during his 4 hours shift the other time is dead time while waiting for DD to assign hi(again see above for more pronouns)r another trip

if you saw in my area, lunch orders, 2 miles, $2.
And the bad thing about it, there are Ubers that accept it.
If you let them go without lunch for a couple of days, you'll see how eventually if they want to eat, it will increase with the tip.

The other day I had an UE delivery from Autozone. I got to the guy's house, he was outside waiting for me. I walked over, handed him his item & he then stuffed the cash he had in his hand that I assumed was a tip back into his pocket & walked away. Lol.

Can you imagine the balls of some people?

 

[REX HAVOC]

I had a similar order. $23/10 miles seemed really good. But they customer pulled the tip back. I still cleared $17 but $23 would have been better.

You have to factor in the return miles too.

 

[xlr8ed]

I don’t advance tip in app, I tip heavily in 💰 usually, but I also don’t appreciate lazy delivery people that refuse to call/text to notify arrival so I can meet them at the door. Today was prime example, I left a note in grubhub stating to call or text me when they arrive, and to please not leave hot food on the ground. Time goes by I haven’t gotten a call or a text, so I check my app, and grubhub says delivered? I go outside and nothing there? Really???

By the time you come to the door I'm already gone.

There are still drivers out there that don't want close contact. Wouldn't be better to put a small table out front rather than require they meet at the door. Unless you just do it to inspect the food before they leave it shouldn't make a difference.

You keep experiencing this specifically because you don’t advance tip. NONE of the experienced drivers believe in cash tips (unless they’re in addition to pre-tips) and won’t take your orders. You’re getting either noobs who don’t know what they’re doing or drivers that are not too bright and can’t count. They won’t be reading your instructions, and even if they do they’ll not bother because you’re not a priority.

No good driver will ever take a no-tip order hoping for a cash tip. Literally none.

 

[gregburg65]

You earned 18.50an hour . Minus fuel. Where else can you do this with out punching a clock ?
You expect to much for the gig jobs. My advice is just quit ! Your never going to be happy doing this job delivering food driving passengers shopping for groceries . There is nothing w rong if you just quit its just not for you .
Move onto something better that makes you happy its not this .

$41.50 in tips, $29 from DD. Not all that bad...just decline the non/low-tippers. It doesn't show how many deliveries or the time of day the deliveries were done.

I put the food in an insulated bag while it's in the car. I don't take it to the door, unless it's raining. I often have more than one delivery, and I'm not carrying it up to the door on another delivery. I probably didn't accept the delivery if it's a cash tip, anyway. About 90% of my deliveries are leave at door, anyway.

 

[gregburg65]

More often than not, food I’ve ordered via DD or UE has arrived in poor condition- cold, inedible, items missing etc.
Curiously I’ve yet to have a pizza delivered to me with the delivery person using an insulated bag. I’m sorry I’m not tipping for poor service. I did pizza delivery for 3 years in HS and College in the 80/90’s and never delivered a cold pie and always got great tips. Also I don’t tip in app. Drivers get cash COD for great service.

Pizza delivery and DD are different animals. I use an insulated bag in my car, but don't carry it with me to the door. Inedible, missing items, etc. are on the restaurant, not the driver. The cold part could go either way, but I've picked up pizzas that have been sitting on the oven awhile, because they weren't paying enough. Pizza delivery, you're working one restaurant in probably a 3-5 mile radius. DD, I delivery from hundreds of restaurants in a 30 mile radius.

 

[gregburg65]

I always tip,unless the service is horrible. Part of the issue of getting cold food is uber,door dash are crappy companies. I try to order directly thru the place if I can.

Very few restaurants I do DD from have their own delivery service. It's not profitable, especially in places like California that have $15/hr minimum wage and other regulations.
