We've only been doing this about a week so we're watching your videos now. Very informative thanks. It's funny that you talk about parking because we're doing it as a couple so unless the order is not ready I don't even have to park. Some of the orders with multiple drinks can be hard for one person however.

Uber Eats Tips 1. Busy Days Thurs-Sun 2. Go out during Football Match days 3. Dinner rush 5pm-9pm 4. Weekends 7pm-9pm/9pm-11pm 5. Be around the restaurants. You don't get paid to go to the restaurant, you get paid for delivering! 6. In the morning, you want to be around all the breakfast restaurants like McDonalds and cafes

[@SGTPaul-0891]

All very good tips! I'd like to add - yeah, stay in a high density area, but also stay in the SAME high density area as much as possible. There are many advantages to being ultra familiar with your delivery area: - repeat customers (bigger tips) - you know which restaurants to avoid due to long waits - you learn alternate routes - familiarity with where to park

[@Lambo_567]

I expirience that the same restaurant can finish the order in 2minutrs or in 30minutes its just getting lucky i had this with kfc mac donald and eazy in the same day. Order 1 waited 30minutes and order 2 was ready when i arrived its so strange

[@DanKoerner]

I just started with Uber Eats and live in a suburb of Portland, Oregon. I've mostly been doing lunch or dinner within a few miles of my neighborhood and easily making $50+/day driving 2-3 hours a day. It's totally amazing.

@@YourDriverMike hey Mike so I have some questions for you. Hope you can help me. So I just started driving for Uber eats about 2 weeks ago. I've only gone out twice so far. So I got a delivery for a half hour away on my first time delivering. The second time I started up I got a delivery for a half hour away again. I just want to know what is a good amount to accept the order? Like for instance should I accept it if it's $14 or $11? Keep in mind that gas prices here in my city are $6.50 a gallon. So I just wonder if it's really worth going all that way.

[@boohere2]

@dan Koerner, I think I should honestly go to a busier city like San Francisco. The problem is though I don't have time to drive all that way. I do see opportunities offered by Uber eats that give you more money but they are so far away from me. 😔

[@cyndisherry7547]

If you're driving with Uber eats ( not ride share ) you can have a companion with you, they can keep food safe, drive and protect the car while food is being delivered etc; we've had great success ( my daughter and myself ) and average $40 hourly during the week and more on weekends! Just make sure to stick to Covid safety rules!! ( Both of you! We never take our masks off even while driving and whoever delivers food to the door wears gloves! We also have a fresh box of kleenex that we use to open anydoors to businesses, then sanitize once we're back in the car. This provides safety, even in more hazard areas and the car is never left alone!

[@holdentudiks6169]

I hate to tell you this but you have zero control of anything that happens to you in this world. There is no such thing as safety. Only fear. Fear is an illusion.

[@temp229009]

Declining orders based on distance is a great tip! I would also look at the minutes that it will take and if it's less than 20 and >$10 that is my sweet spot. Also, I've found that you should forget about the bad promotions. If they are asking you to do 16 orders in 3 hours, this is really difficult in practice. You may find it isn't worth it because you will probably be accepting tiny dollar values to attempt it, which if you aren't successful, will decrease your wage. Addionally, remember which restaurants in your area where you have to wait! Decline these orders the next time you see them. In my city, taco bell makes you fill up cups, and some fast food places make the order when you get there. Decline restaurants like this.

[@monkeyhihi]

I only use a ratio of minutes/pay when doing orders. $7.50/15m, $10/20m, $20/40m, it all equals out to $30 an hour :)

[@tobygray497]

Great tips, but you have 5 - 10 seconds to decide whether to accept another order or not, and you suggest using a different app to see where the location is first before accepting? On top of that, you are probably driving at the time, so I think that would be pretty much impossible to do in the time frame you have.

[@milamujib1877]

Ya I was thinking the same

[@ToolFist598]

You can switch between Uber eats and waze with one button on android and do a voice search for the address. I think you have 30 seconds to accept an order on Uber eats. Should be enough time.

[@wainphillips2733]

I start Uber Eats next week. Doordash gives the driver 39 seconds to accept the order. Does Uber Eats really allow only 10 to 15 seconds to accept the order before the app passes it to the next closest driver? That sounds rough to me.

[@ToolFist598]

Last two Fridays in Rockford, IL - I start a little after 12 noon, stack up around 100-120 by 4 30, take a lil break and then it's surge time until 8 or 9 and I've been able to add another 150-175. I was doing UberX Friday overnights but this has been paying better

[@azaz4216]

I actually like to look for the longer rides and the ones that actually do take me out further. I don't like traffic, and I hate trying to find a park. And on the longer rides I can just chill listening to music, instead of being more stressed in the denser areas and starting and stopping every 5 to 10 minutes, and all the traffic noise, and smell, and too many people everywhere. I'd rather a smoother, more enjoyable experience while getting paid something like $20ph, then a more stressful or frustrating experience for $25ph. But that's just me.

[@photoniccannon2117]

I do the same thing. And gas costs are about the same in the end, highway driving is just less taxing on my vehicle.

[@macmusic08]

I guess maybe it depends on where you live, but where I live (in middle Tennessee), any higher dollar paying request will pretty much ALWAYS take you a good distance away from the high concentration area you started from. It’s just the nature of the beast usually. Unless it’s a high paying request with TWO pickups/deliveries that are each not that far from the busy area.

[@testingspirits7446]

Thanks for the tip to turn off requests while delivering. My acceptance rate is low because I get a bunch of requests which I cannot accept, causing my rate to stay low. Keeps me from getting to Gold.

I have the same exact fear and it happened to me on my second every order. Luckily I had two cup holders in the back seat along with the two in the front seat and was able make the delivery without any issues. I also order a insulation bag from Amazon that has 3 built-in cup holds (there's also bags with 4 cup holders) that will benefit on the long run.

I always hate when an order has drinks. Except for Starbucks and McDonald's who actually puts the drinks in the bag along with the food. Super clutch

[@yourdriverteam-matt1001]

That is very challenging! Starbucks has the best idea. They use a drink holder and put it inside a bag so you can grab up to 4 drinks at one time. I would recommend finding a drink holder on Amazon and using a sturdy bag and use the same strategy for yourself Thanks for watching!

[@snooty_skillz]

I don’t agree with this tip. If you know the area then you know where you are going based on address alone. But, when you are on an order you swipe up from the bottom and there’s a hand indicating stop. You click this to stop new requests. You just have to remember to go back online after the order.

goal setting is a big one for me. My minimum is $60 is I go out to deliver ($100 on my longer days). IMO (depending on where you are) just find a parking spot. most of the drivers near me will just line up in front of restaurants and it really f**ks with traffic. In my area a lot of the time spots will be only 10-20ft further than where they line up.

[@saynotohookups]

About going to the bathroom. It wouldn't be good to bring your pack in with you to use the bathroom, especially since you are likely going to have to set it down on the floor inside the bathroom stall. So are restaurants good about letting you keep your bag at the counter or some place where you can put it while you use the bathroom? I think that restaurants should have a rack for delivery people to put their bags on where no one else can steal it.

I'm in Houston and they're currently doing the same. I guess a little "hack" to that is just take the ones that will definitely keep you close to your hot zone. I know one night the biggest payout I had was about $7.50 and that's with tip. I did about 21 deliveries($3 each time) basically back to back and would get $3-$4 tips for just being friendly and fast. So if you're super strategic then you can walk away with a little bit of cash. Also, faking it to make it helps. Lol.

@Roy Berg yea. At first I didn't wanna turn anything down and thought you could get in trouble for doing so. UNTIL...I had a request that was a 68 minute round trip for about $11 and they didn't tip. After that I learned to pick and choose pretty fast. Lol

Is it hard to learn how to use Waze you would have to be able to put your starting point as where you’re at to going to those cross roads. I wish I could figure out how to do that.

So I have a question when I get an order how can I see how much I get before I accept, because when I press delivery it accepts automatically

[@amberfreeman4335]

I just use my shirt sleeve to open doors. Also, I wash my hands often, disinfect my steering wheel, shifter,etc. also , disinfect your phone!

Just remember when driving Uber or Uber eats or any of the platforms what you make is really not what you make your car is your overhead gas maintenance wear and tear etc. It’s still good but I read a comment where people are saying they made this much money in this many hours but I think you’re forgetting to deduct are overhead.

Hey is it the same when you leave the app running while you wait for orders and let’s say you watch videos while parked or you’ll get a higher chance just sitting on the app?

[@jaimeacosta4791]

Hi Mike. Thanks for your tips. What do you know about insurances? I understand many insurance companies don't protect you working for UBER.

[@ZenZone_Soundscapes]

Not sure if you still need an answer, but where I am, the only company that will cover you is Progressive. I'm about to switch to them, and it will only cost me about 35 bucks more a month than what I'm paying now.

Awesome advice THANK YOU ,

[@glamelhershkovitz1664]

Great tips. Thanks

[@johngattinger]

I kindly disagree with this strategy for people who want to work full time. Fine for part time like you mention. As someone who knows a thing or two about software...it's programmed to calculate your acceptance rate. The system tracks everything from declining orders to even orders that you fail to accept or decline while the software is on. Cherry picking orders will probably lower your chance at receiving the maximum number of assignments in the future. If someone is accepting all orders with zero bias regardless of price and/or difficulty they will be getting the most assignments.

[@inlinechris]

What a dumb way to think

[@EdsHouse00]

I don't know about that. I never have problems cherry picking my orders and not get any deliveries. I refuse to go 20 away from my busy spot for $6. Or something to that affect.

[@jcman1977]

NOt sure... We cherry pick all the time after we learned how

[@sohelpmee]

What you say makes sense. I’ve worried about this. I hope they didn’t design this software that way. But I do notice that when I accept orders, I get more orders, and when I decline orders, it always feels like I missed my chance. Nothing else comes for a long time.

[@saynotohookups]

@@sohelpmee It should be realistic though. People shouldn't be punished like that. Like the guy said above why go a long distance just for $6 especially if you don't get any orders on the way back to your regular spot.

[@BurgBoy7]

Just started and safe to say my area sucks🤕 first day and only made about 31 bucks in 3 hours

Depends which city you living

More density means more patrols, and parking tickets or getting towed.

[@jcman1977]

Hello, I'm new to uber eats as well and i have a question about something you mentioned If i get two orders at once it tells me say 15.00 I take it, deliver the first order but the second order ( which I didn't know where was actually going) it's like faraway but i'm already stuck with the food. How can I tell if i should get the second order or not from the very beginning

[@Mads270791]

It says in the video u can turn that off... watch video

[@carla1432]

What do you do if you trip over a carpet walking in? I fell pretty bad tonight! 🙁 I didn’t call Uber eats because I don’t want to be deactivated!

[@7gmeister]

Does anyone recommend hot bags or any special items to do your deliveries with? I’m chining out of pizza delivery and I haven’t figured that one out yet

[@YourDriverMike]

Here's everything I recommend for food delivery drivers: www.amazon.com/shop/yourdrivermike?listId=2TAKZA7WC1IK9&ref=idea_share_inf

[@EdsHouse00]

I don't think its necessary. The food remains hot by the time I get to my delivery. Then again, I don't accept anything past 4 to 5 miles away.

[@7gmeister]

@@EdsHouse00 thanks! The place where I was working began to use Door Dash and they were giving it hot bags so I snatched one. Sometimes you’re right but I’ve been finding a lot of use for it. Not only does it protect my interior from spills but there are occasions like with most fast food and pizza where it definitely keeps things warm and it looks a little more professional to have when I’m actually delivering so I definitely use it

[@phatkatmeowmeow]

NYC parking is no good, double parking fine in nyc is $115. i park in the residence area and walk over

[@yourdriverteam-matt1001]

That works too! Don’t want to mess with tickets in Pittsburgh it’s pretty available to sit for a minute I’ve never had an issue in 700+ deliveries

[@observer1256]

New viewer. Do you only do meal delivery apps or do you do shared rides too?

[@kristievondracek9441]

@Your driver Mike I haven't started yet with my first order and haven't received my card to be able to purchase foods, how does the personal cash work? I use my personal cash to pay for the order, but how would I get paid back? I'm very confused, but I would love to be able to start if possible while I'm waiting for my card.
