For anyone doing Eats profitably I say more power to you.
But I can't fathom why anyone would use this service. As a user of the Uber rider app, I have been getting deluged with emailed coupons to try Eats "for free". But free doesn't include the many many ancillary charges like service fees. First I tried to use a $30 coupon and got this:
Then I tried a $25 coupon and ordered $19 worth of food. With all the extra chargers the meal was going to be $15 out of pocket. None the less I ordered with a 15% tip up front. Was given a nearly 2-hour delivery window. Two hours later the order was cancelled on a "your order could not be delivered" error.
Tried the $25 coupon again for $26 of food. The free meal was going to cost nearly $10. Coupon or no coupon the misc chargers are hilarious:
"Delivery fee"? Service fee"?? "CA Driver benefits fee"??? And on top of that a tip charge that defaults to 15%.
No thank you.
