Side Hustle: Review of Delivering for Grubhub Vs Postmates Vs Door Dash as a Driver

[@XavierLizAndCo]

Do you do any food delivery? Who do you like best?

[@davidmuir405]

So far I've only done doordash and I really enjoy it. I signed up for postmates so I'll be trying that next to compare.. Grubhub isn't currently hiring in my city and my car is too old for ubereats, so postmates and DD are all I can do.

[@randylove]

Xavier, Liz And Co they all want to screw u , it’s a shame that the job u get u now have to watch and see if there stealing from u , the first clue as they put tips on the table red flag 🚩 why would they do this? Reason number one ☝️ u now have to add this when filing ur taxes .number two , they feel since it’s there platform they are entitled to a portion of the tips .if they paid us right in the first place it could be an understandable thing ,since they want us to be independent contractors m I am unsure how there getting away from giving us the minimum wage I believe this is mandatory in the USA 🇺🇸 don’t know how there getting around this there not only scamming the restaurants there scamming us now they want dd, that is to make it mandatory for us it have an acceptance rate of 60% so everyone will be scared 😱 and take the shitty orders .when ur putting more money into a place that isn’t giving u back it’s time to say goodbye to that company.ur in this for profit,so r they that’s why they r screwing us and the restaurants only ac matter of time they will shut there doors over billions of lawsuits.they funny thing about this whole this it all can be avoided by just paying the drivers right in the first place .u watch the next fiscal year they dd will not be number one ☝️ we all will say who dat ?

Postmates was the first i started with. There are good things about it like I do tend to get more orders back to back, and as long as customers are patient and don’t mind me doing 2 or 3 deliveries then I can make good money. And I do like how they will let you do orders until you get the card no matter how long it’ll take where with Grubhub they only give you one week of a grace period and then they just don’t let you do orders until you activate the card and days like these mail is not coming as fast as it use to so I hate that I basically lost income for a week due to that. Postmates is just too risky because the tips like you said don’t come until after the delivery and you’ll wait anywhere from a couple minutes to weeks it all depends on when the customer goes on the app again to tip

[@betterthanemril988]

I like Grubhub cause if it’s pay but they just penalize you for like everything like sorry I’m not trying to spend 20 minutes looking for someone’s apartment just for a measly $4 pay

[@jipsiemune]

Thanks that was great info as i just signed up with grubhub

[@XavierLizAndCo]

That’s great! Good luck. I hope you do well.

[@abbyhunker3956]

I'm also doing doordash, postmates, grubhub n yes grubhub is longer after signing up I signed up grubhub before doordash n postmates n finally got off the waiting listing n started grubhub today n the biggest tip I got is 20 dollars on doordash

[@XavierLizAndCo]

That's an awesome tip!

[@monicaperdomo3983]

UE is the worst pay wise. The app used to be a curbside service, until they took that down on their app. So customers expect you to park, deliver to their apt doors, and they almost NEVER tip! Most offers you drive for 15 to 30 minutes for three to five bucks a piece.

[@XavierLizAndCo]

I never reached out to see what I had to do to get started. I had planned on it, but you know life happens. Sounds like I'm not missing out.

[@djrickyb]

This is 100% Accurate. My brother tried Uber Eats. He did it for 2 days. Every order was $3 to $5 each in pay. Lowest was $3.17. Highest was $5.25. He could barely make $23.00 before he realized he just worked 4 hours for like $7 an hour before fuel expenses, LOL. I have been doing Door Dash, and enjoy it, but just wish the delivery pay outs were 50% to 60% better. If the pay out was that much better I would love door dash. I average $30 to $60 per shift. I drive 3 to 5 hours every time. Most deliveries you can do is 2 per hour, and average delivery is about $8. So hourly pay works out to roughly $10 to $12 per hour after fuel expenses usually. It's better than Uber Eats though! ...I want to try Grub Hub now!

[@CaptainAbmerica]

I made 640 dollars off uber eats last week and that was for 4.5 days of work. The lowest order ive had is about $4.50 but if you work late hours you cant get 12-19 dollar orders because they are sometimes 10-16 minutes away.

[@RussFedorov]

I made $400 on Uber eats last week and most of that is working diner rush from 5 to 9. If you only work lunch and dinner rush then it's worth your time, otherwise never work when it's not busy, just not worth it

[@williamlayton1827]

Weird Uber eats approved me in one day and GH told me there’s a hiring wait list.

[@brianmiller5750]

Because Uber is in the habit of oversaturating the market. They never stop hiring. DoorDash and GrubHub limit the number of drivers in a market to allow you a chance to actually make money.

[@sidehustle2478]

I only dash now and do well without having to schedule a block. In fact at least in my market I receive less orders when I schedule blocks.

[@Penelope416]

Hello. Do you do any other food delivery or rideshare apps?

[@desertrose0601]

Actually that’s been my experience as well. It might be just a fluke but it seems when I’ve scheduled I can wait around for an hour before getting an order but whenever I’ve just done “Dash now” I get orders right away.

[@randylove]

Yes I found this out to in gh, blocks only mean ur tied down to them at that time , the partner is the lowest but if they need u and that is the night time for me in my market they will ping u same with dd, but sometimes it’s hard as they don’t put many hours out there only if it’s busy

[@cesarreyes8320]

I do Postmates for the fact that it's my side hustle, I can go on or off line when ever I want, so far so good I've only done it got two weeks.

[@RussFedorov]

For Uber eats if you are 21 or older you automatically are signing up for driveshare which means you need to provide more info and do an inspection, if you are under 21 you do not qualify for rideshare meaning you can only do Uber eats and that does not require a vehicle inspection

[@JohnMikaelian]

You can contact Uber support and they will set up your account as an Uber Eats only account. Every new Uber account requires a vehicle inspection because drivers can do rides or food deliveries. However, you can avoid the vehicle inspection by contacting support and telling them you're only interested in doing Uber Eats.

[@marcushenderson5716]

Hey...... Have you tried dashing near ASU where all the Bars are? There were hella Restaurants in Tempe Marketplace, too! I was in Phoenix back in 2009.

[@XavierLizAndCo]

Yes. But on mill, parking is really hard. Especially with all the construction. When I go with my husband, it’s easier bc parking’s not really a problem. But it was definitely great when there’s a postmates bonus.

[@ericexp497]

I live in lousiana. Postmates isnt available in my area, grubhub has a very very small pool of restaurants available. So door dash is my only option

[@theundaunted5481]

Thanks for telling me Door Dash steals drivers money! Personally, I think it's a trajedy to have so many delivery-app co's in the national market.

[@NebraskaLadyDriver]

I had a REALLY bad experience with Doordash, so I use Postmates and Uber Eats. I'm in the process of signing up for Grubhub, I just found out they are in my area. Thanks for the review, it was some pretty good insight.

[@XavierLizAndCo]

Thank you for watching! Good luck with your Grubhub experience.

[@ThingsILikke]

Can I ask what the bad experience was? I'm about to start door dash and I'm nervous

[@Cuzthewordi]

Grubhub is the father of all delivery apps

[@heavenlychase115]

mohammed sami yes

[@jonny777bike]

To use uber eats you need a 4 door car. I use to use it with a 2 door car but they screwed up on my account and I can no longer use it with a 2 door car.

[@jonny777bike]

@Chris Stout Good news is I finally got uber eats working again. I had to work with them a couple of times to get it all fixed.

[@JOHNSMITH-dc6lr]

Postmates in so-cal is absolutely horable, $3.50 a delivery LMFAO

[@peanut-qc2ww]

Wow that is bad I wanted to drive for post mate's I'm in so cal too but this is so low

[@Westcoast10]

And I thought doordash was bad

[@rayjaramillo4400]

I think Uber may have you confused for one who is applying as a rideshare driver. When I signed up with UberEats, I didn't have an inspection on my vehicle and it's 20 years old (looks and runs excellent for it's age, LOL). As best as I know, you don't need a car inspection for food delivery, only ridesharing. Maybe it's different where you're at; I'm here in SoCal, maybe it's different here but I doubt it. I would go to your local Uber service office and explain your situation to them. Maybe they will approve you there on the spot. Nice job on the video, you explained those three platforms really well.

[@XavierLizAndCo]

Good idea. I'll look into that. I didn't think I needed one based on what I have read, but it won't let me go any further in the process. Thanks for your nice comment.

[@soulwarrior2177]

DD does steal tips! I have a lot of deliveries now. I have never received a generous tip through the DD app! NEVER! The only chance you have at getting a generous tip is if the customer gives you a cash tip! I have delivered many orders worth 100 dollars and I was only payed the minimum of 5.50! You mean to tell me they all tipped me 5%??? BS!

[@XavierLizAndCo]

This is why I use Grubhub mostly. They just seem more transparent with pay.

[@tawannagreen9453]

I work Doordash & I get my tips through they app Idk what y’all talking about

[@kslay1475]

I prefer postmates due to the huge upside with tips from customers and being able to go online whenever!

[@XavierLizAndCo]

Do you end up getting more tips from Postmates?

[@kslay1475]

Absolutely! I've done 65 deliveries now with postmates and have gotten 10 or more tips of $10+ one this past week was a $20 cash tip. I get tipped on about 65%-70% of all my deliveries and its usually more than how much postmates pays.

[@XavierLizAndCo]

Wow. You are doing better than me with Postmates. I never get cash tips. But my husband sometimes does.

[@1004Francis]

Postmate you do get better tips no lie there but if you do postmate for 40 hr you will make about 400$ but with doordash have made 740$ 40hr work

[@XavierLizAndCo]

I didn't get better tips from Postmates. I got a lot of no tips. At least with grub hub and door door, I can see what I am going to make and either accept of deny based on that.

[@randylove]

I like to add this tony shoe , said they r a business there in it to make money ,m ok fine we r a business to we r to make money and taking shit orders we will not be in business,it’s just that simple if ur flinging ur not making any money ur not doing something right or if u want to be this guy that’s excepting everything so u can be a caterer the laugh is on u they r screwing them to lol

[@rideandshine4634]

Grubhub rocks, no comparison really. THe only gripe I have with them is that I have to drive 6 miles to the region.

[@osumosuadedayo7455]

Ride and Shine what city

[@rideandshine4634]

@@osumosuadedayo7455 Southern NYC. The region is capped, they aren't recruiting anymore drivers and its getting busier.

[@tommyprondzinski4609]

Postmates #1

[@sidehustle2478]

Uber is like that as well just pick up and drop off period.

[@sidehustle2478]

You don't not need a inspection with ubereats yes for rideshare.

[@XavierLizAndCo]

I should call them, and get it straightened out.

[@randylove]

SideHustle 247 correction, they need to have there rides looked at as u have to deal with food , I seen a whole bunch of slobs out there and if I order food and a slob knocks on my door 🚪 i will tell them to send it back. I will not except food from a slob

[@spicy3657]

You guys talking about blocks makes post mates great I can work in many cites whenever wherever, cash out same day. I love you it the further the trip the more u make. Also I'll gotten tips you usually get the tips the next day.

[@ellylynn7143]

I signed up for grub hub postmates and uber eats everything is going smoothly except for postmates! My background check is taking forever its almost been 2 weeks.

[@XavierLizAndCo]

Good Luck! These background checks are so crazy bc they all use the same company for background checks.

[@KarolG-b7g]

I signed up for postmates about a week ago. The background check is still in process ugh

[@legacy4487]

I’m in the Phoenix area, too. I just recently signed up for Postmates and DoorDash. Still waiting on my kit from DD. The first day I tried Postmates, the order was cancelled while I was in route to the store. I was a bit annoyed by that. Do you wait a little bit before heading to a store/restaurant just in case someone cancels or are cancellations typically not a problem? Also, do you run multiple apps at once? If so, can you make a video showing us how?

[@XavierLizAndCo]

I don't normally get too many cancelations. One day I had 2 in a row, but that was because the restaurant had a fire. I haven't done 2 apps at once since I started focusing mainly on Grubhub, With Grubhub when I'm on block, I normally get order after order. But I'll keep that video idea in mind.

[@DSickMusic]

I’m going to do grub hub. Here i. Texas they have one call favor but it doesn’t pay well so I’ve been looking for something new to try. Thank you very much b

[@XavierLizAndCo]

+DSickMusic I haven’t heard of favor. Good luck. In my opinion, Grubhub pays the best.

[@ZsaZsaRodeo]

I DIDNT NEED AN INSPECTION FOR UBER EATS. I LOVE UBER EATZ. SUPER EASY

[@OneStopGuy]

Great Video!

[@drakeclifton5625]

Hi, do you know if you need to have state plates, insurance, etc, in the state that you live? Like I'm from Minnesota and just moved to Cali, do you know if they would require California registration do do this here?

[@XavierLizAndCo]

You do need to have insurance. They do ask for that info. Im not sure about plates for the state you are working in. I dont think they asked for that info. But Im not 100% sure.

[@judithalmaguer7950]

im in a hot spot right now with grubhub in bonita springs on a friday evening and NADA

[@Asstazztic]

Judith Almaguer just so you know a hot spot doesn’t mean there’s a lot of orders going through there, it means it’s a popular spot to order food.

[@rachelmm05]

Thanks for this helpful information

[@erikarandall1549]

In Arizona which one keeps you the most busy?

[@DeathHandsFilms]

Grub hub doesn’t have a signup bonus?

[@XavierLizAndCo]

Nope! They say too if you are premier, that you can have a referral bonus. SO I waited to sign my husband up. But then there was nothing.

[@jloveinnc]

How long did it take for the GrubHub bags to arrive after approval. It's taking too long

[@XavierLizAndCo]

They wouldn't ship it to me. I had to go to pick it up from the office at a scheduled time. It did take a while. It was 15 days from applying to getting my bags. 10 days from my approval and onboarding.

[@drlove8049]

jloveinnc why they stop giving shirts

[@JOHNSMITH-dc6lr]

U forgot to mention u have to work for 14 days, two weeks to use the fast cast option meaning.. You have to use your own fuel

[@parameswarkatrapati9178]

Thank you lot of good info.

[@XavierLizAndCo]

Thank you for watching and your kind comment.

[@cliffordsikora9841]

Great review😎😎😎

[@Arianna571]

So with Grub Hub you have to pick up hours which means it's like instacart and there might not be hours? Also can you cash out daily

[@XavierLizAndCo]

Yes, you have to pick hours so there might not be hours. You really have to be there to check hours available right when they open up. Some markets are only able to get hours if they are premier, meaning you accept almost every order. and always show up for your blocks. You can not cash out daily. They pay you for the previous week, Monday through Sunday, on Thursday through direct deposit. Ive seen people use Earny to get paid early. But I haven't tried it.

[@Arianna571]

XandE Family...Thanks for answering. Let me clarify 1 thing can you get orders though if you don't accept blocks or is that not a good way to do it?

[@XavierLizAndCo]

@@Arianna571 I think it depends on your market. I have not been able to, but others have,

[@monicaperdomo3983]

I dont recommend doing Gh off hours...no guarantee min and worst offers. You can work your butt off and not feel like you're getting paid.

[@XavierLizAndCo]

I never get orders if I'm not on block. I see lots of people in facebook groups say they get tons of orders. But it never works out for me. Even if it's only 30 minutes between blocks, I get nothing.

[@desertrose0601]

I think you might be accidentally trying to sign up for the taxi side of Uber instead of the food side. Give them a call. No car inspection is required for delivering the food. I’ve signed up with all those apps and in my experience Uber was the easiest to sign up for so it sounds like you might be doing something wrong. Or it could just be because of your new license. I didn’t have that issue so maybe that’s why it was really fast for me.

[@XavierLizAndCo]

I never ended up reaching out to them to see what my issue was. I guess if I'm going to, I'll have to wait a bit longer. At least till after I have my baby.

[@randylove]

Let’s be honest Uber eats is a waste of time all they want u to do is earn points , I say screw the points u want me to run the orders it will have to be over 7 dollars to get my attention, postmates is only good to me if they offer bonus if not I won’t consider them dd is still playing games with the 3 to 6 dollar runs note( I know dd bought Uber eats just waiting to see w hat they do to it ) dd needs to stop this r u there yet the stupid pop ups .not:(I lost a run as I was in traffic , they gave it to someone eals ) gh is ok ,they moved me into a good market I use them every chance I get but, they want to run me out of my sector to 34 miles , just found out if I went there and the order got canceled they won’t pay u the fair ,yes they did this to me but, i showed them I was an ass to 😝 all I can say is this they r the ones who classify us drivers as independent contractors,we r a business, and a business needs to make money just like them if they didn’t make money they would shut down tomorrow. If u see that ur not making money at this at the end of the week get out . I don’t understand why a job that hires u will screw u isn’t it bad enough that they can’t hire u ? Instead they want to think of more ways to get u to do those shit low paying offers ,and this catering shit have a perfect score u will be running catering jobs ? Lol I run on at lows big box of food from hooters went to lows they showed me where ton put the box of food it was a board meeting they had several people in the round table tons of food , only got 8 dollars for this run no tip or Evan on the app

[@theundaunted5481]

With Dominos as a delivery expert, my avg. hourly was 25. for 3.5-4 hrs of work, tips were cash avg. 42. per 4 hours in West Vegas. Dogs love me in Vegas!! Except the pit bull that bit me in the ass before I had him put down.
