Deliveroo riders make WAY LESS money than you think

It's the ultimate e-mobilty food fight! Eilis goes to head to head with the king of fast food delivery ‪@LondonEats‬ to see who can earn the MOST money in three hours.
Both evenly matched on their trusty e-bikes from Wau, can Eilis give the rider with over 3,500 deliveries under his belt a run for his money?

Shouldn’t have cancelled, I love when the customer or client tries to cancel because if you contact customer service and tell them the customer wants to cancel the order they cancel it and still pay you.

[@mbalmzda1885]

Wow. Two of my favorite channels/content providers in one video. Awesome!

I look forward to new upload from this channel & learn something new every time. Thanks for your time. Energy, dedication & sharing

This should be illegal. The UK does have a minimum wage of £8.72, shame it's not enforced. I enjoyed the video though, as I didn't know pay was so poor for these riders. If I use them I'll be sure to tip.

[@steve00alt70]

minimum wage is like 8.91...

[@rajaFR8]

Yh its hard work even worse if ur not from London if I lived in London I'd probably make more money per day as I assume London has bigger area to cover so you get more orders and tips do help but I don't rely on them I delivered 3 meal deals from my local co op to a neighbourhood near me a 13 year old girl tried tried give me a five pound tip I have never been tipped that much however I refused the tip it jus seems odd taking money from a child even it was delivery tip

[@samconstantinou2335]

I make anywhere from £10-£20 an hour on Deliveroo where I live so I can’t complain 🤣

[@srspower]

The UK shouldn't have a minimum wage. The very idea a few men in a room can outperform the will of the combined intellect of the entire population is absurd.

[@Adam_Adam_Adam_Adam]

If I get less than £12 or £13/hr it's a bad hour on deliveroo. Usually £15+

[@rissachen-acooldadeliveryb3044]

This is really a real experience, which gives us a new understanding

[@ScottAntonioDelivers]

Sick video!

[@laloajuria4678]

lol,

[@IDann1]

I work JustEats, if you are working on a timeslot ,you get minimum £8ph, in a working week you get over £10ph average, because of bonuses and weekend work.

[@shaffermarkshaffer]

@@IDann1 does Just Eat make up the difference if you fail to hit £8/HR? Also, can you work for more than one platform at the same time (sign in to Deliveroo and Uber at the same time for example)?

[@S2Tubes]

It depends on the time and location. If you only work busy times, you make okay money. If you're trying to do it full time, you will be sitting around waiting, and not getting paid a lot.

[@brendangray]

Esp. With inflation recenlty. The living wage should currenlty be £15 an hr, imo

[@nauxsi]

@@brendangray it's ideal but the smaller business can't survive doing it as the productivity isn't there.

Would be fun doing this on my Electric Unicycle if I lived in a more densely populated area. I'd have a blast riding and make extra money on the side.

@@Electroheads hi. How are you can i always leave you comments

[@user-om2fg7yh6s]

Seems like it would make more sense to be a rider for Gorrillas, Zapp, Just Eat or any of those companies that offer salaried work. You might not get the flexibility of working when you want but its guaranteed money and you'd be making at least £10 an hour. Most people would only do this as a side hustle as well.

[@nauxsi]

Like most of the gig economy.

[@JaxDagger]

what is the song at 5:40 ? loving the videos!

[@will4may175]

Up here in the north we don't have Uber eats and not seen Deliveroo either, but we do have Just Eat, and I think they hire the worst drivers they can find, they block streets, park anywhere including blocking zebra crossings. And the worst part is them collecting from restaurants takeaways etc, you go to a drive through whether MD KFC BK and your food takes ages because the company prioritise the Just Eat orders first, you can be sat at the window watching your order being bagged and they will stop to serve them before finishing yours.

[@nauxsi]

It's definitely changed the restaurant scene. Most were setup for local customers walking into store with staff levels to match. Adding all these delivery services on that same staff level means slower service.

[@mjr2567]

Restaurants don't prioritise delivery over instore or drive-thru, it's completely the other way around.

[@will4may175]

@@mjr2567 They do, I've seen it in KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut, the first two have gotten so bad the drive thru lanes are empty most of the time. And when you do use them you're either served quick or most of the time sat there watching them run around getting deliveries ready, last time I was at BK the queue of 6 cars in the drive thru we we're there 42mins, yet delivery drivers were turning up and going straight away, I even stated this on google in their reviews, haven't used either since.

[@XNick291X]

The Knowledge, Eilis, ever heard of it?? 🤣

[@nauxsi]

That's a top idea. :)

[@mark-1rc502]

To be honest if it not for Eilis I wouldn’t even be watching this channel .

The one who doesn't get fined by the police for using a throttle on an electric bike.

[@hughjames3647]

They don’t care . Normal push bikes can go 20 mph any way .

[@Kumari_44]

Didnt even know you could actually get fined. My evike kit has a throttle included. But i could always take it off

[@fetchstixRHD]

From what I can tell, “twist and go” bikes are allowed as electric assisted pedal cycles as long as they’re “type approved” and otherwise meet the other EAPC requirements?

[@chaushb]

02:41, no one? 😂

[@jacobbryant1357]

Anyone know what the bloke at 2:42 said?..

[@CTCTraining1]

Assuming you need that extra range the Wau bike offers then approx £2500 cost would be easily (?) paid off in only 500hours of delivery work. It is a plan I guess.

[@creativeleodaily]

😂😂😂 this is so funny lol

[@davidsworld5837]

what about food delivery insurance. I was looking at may be trying out but it says you have to have insurance. And ??? how much that will cost. and if you use your car you need delivery on your insurance so puts that up. cycling around all day is find in good weather but in winter or rain not so good not just for bad roads or drivers but getting wet and then ending up ill.

[@will4may175]

Your following your phone wrong on the bike, from what I see everywhere is you cycle along with the phone in your hand and the other hand in your pocket, traffic lights don't exist and neither does crossing traffic, you pull out of side roads without looking and cut across vehicles without care, and when you don't have your phone out you ride down the middle of the road on the back wheel, don't worry about the Police as they don't do anything.

[@reightgoodbikes]

Yeah good video

[@nightskyimages2977]

I like that guy his cool to watch

[@francispalos6499]

The thing with Electro Heads is they dont read our inquiries , not even a like or thumbs up from them. They just want to post and post in KZbin and earn money…

[@manoz6194]

You are on the clock as soon as you accept the order, not when you pick it up.

[@jacobbryant1357]

Not a perfect side hustle lol. Sure waiting is just part of the job but damn, pay your riders a proper wage.

[@nauxsi]

At least she can all the tourist attractions.

[@w6263]

5 orders in a day! for less than £20. National minimum wage is £9.50 hour. (1st April 2022) That amount of pay for 5 orders is disgusting. Okay maybe if you know the run of getting around the place then you can make it pay but for the time and effort you put in you get less than £20 a day not to mention the pros and cons of where to lock your bike up and the hike up to the customers front door. No wonder the riders are still working unto 8pm and later at night to make up their hours and their money PER DAY! Could you imagine working a full week and coming away with just over £50!? Because of the 'waiting for orders' gaps.

[@nauxsi]

It's supposed to be something you do inbetween a proper job. Plus location is also very important. These guys were in Central. I wonder how many are doing this because the barrier to entry is low.

[@dtb4394]

Some, orders show that the delivery cost £1.99 and sometimes £2.49. Is that the cost the delivery staff receive?

[@manoz6194]

No, the minimum a delivery rider will get is £2.90 going up to about £10 depending on distance. Deliveroo take 30-35% from the restaurant per order and so some of that goes towards rider pay.

[@Usaizizsh]

He liked her 100%

[@srspower]

We all knew they made terrible money though?

The real rate you should be looking at is £/miles not £/hour but both have gone down every year...

Are these riders registered as self-employed?

[@chongxina8288]

Yeah

[@cajunshaun7076]

I already watch enough EV review content so I may not subscribe to the channel. However if Eilis was to start her own food delivery channel I would subscribe to that, it makes me wish I lived in an area where I could do this as a job.

[@toyotaprius79]

Is this a video detailing what it's like to work for zero hour contract gig economies , or a promotion video for the companies? It's a fun video nonetheless, that's what I expect from this gem of a channel, but the reality for the non-casual workers is depressing. Please tip

[@christistruth3112]

3 hours so less min wage

[@chillout1109]

£16 in 3 hours is an average of £5/hr! That is just unacceptable. No wonder why Manchester is filled with foreign delivery riders. To them, that's quite a lot of money when converted into their original country's currency.

[@brendangray]

The living wage needs to be risen to £15 an hr imo

[@nauxsi]

Most of them look like students.

[@planet101]

They can't convert it as the cost of living is high, also the earnings can be different from city to city , area to area, Times of Day, year season, but average is 10£/hour, as the area they are working is difficult and no tips, so better to change area, city...

[@HexBeatz]

I’m from Manchester and I make around 15 an hour on Deliveroo, you gotta find a system that works

[@snorttroll4379]

Some hours I make £15, other hours as much as £48. The fact of the matter is. You're slow, follow the rules of the road and take no risks with your life. If you want to make good cash in this game? You have to play risky. Sorry. There's really no other way.

[@Dr-Shite-Kicker]

2 and 3 hour shifts these last few months and the most I get of it nowadays is no more than £11 believe it or not. I used to get through between 8 and 10 deliveries in just under 3hours on peak hours earning between £40 and £45. Now because of the sheer amount of folk now doing it nowadays that are from ethnic backgrounds, I be lucky to get 3 deliveries in a 2/3hr run out.

[@jaadthefirst3919]
