Why Uber Eats Offers Are TRASH Now…

10 is still too much because there's a very high likelihood we have to deadhead back to our spot. I rarely go more than 5 miles unless it's a $20 involved in there.

Strangely enough I did 15 runs, and No One tipped me after delivery. Usually on a regular day 35-40% will tip me after delivery. Then I had a dbl offer for $9 something, that included one of my regulars at the time. His offers are always between $11-12 alone!

My criteria is as follows: • $7 minimum for single offer, no more than 4 miles and maximum of 15 minute completion time; • $5 minimum for add-on offer, no more than additional 1.5 miles and 10 minutes; • $12 minimum for a double offer, no more than 8 miles with 30 minute completion; • For offers with longer mileage or time (10-15miles/30+ minutes), must be $1+/mile AND $30/hour minimum. By sticking firmly within these parameters, I average about $220/day on a weekday and $270/day on weekends.

If you want the true picture of just how unconsciously greedy these gig-app companies are, you need to get all the information about some of these orders. (1) Total amount paid by the end customer. A complete break down of all the fees & charges. Including if the menu prices were marked up. (2) Total amount of fees paid by the restaurant. How much did the restaurant actually net from the order after all fees? (3) Amount paid to driver, in the context of the time & miles. In summary, of all the money paid by the end customer (excluding tip): - How much went to the gig-company? - How much went to the restaurant? - How much went to the driver?

I pick $2 orders all the time. And I averaged $28 an hour last week for 50 hours. Hard to believe? I don't doubt that! It's true anyways, just not how you are thinking. I own my own 1 person delivery business. I work only in a 4 square mile area of my city. I offer $5 flat rate delivery from any restaurant in my zone to any address in my zone. I drive the $2 app deliveries in order to find new customers. It's less than free advertising... it pays me. And the customer reality of using an app service in that the $2 order actually cost the customer $7. And I'll do it for $5 off app. As for vehicle costs, I ride a $3k scooter that gets 100+ mpg. All of my trips are under 4 miles, most under 2 miles. Because I have so many "cheap" customers, I'm usually stacking 2-4 orders at a time. Which puts me at $3.50 a mile on a scooter that costs 5 pennies a mile to operate. I call it delivery alchemy... the process of turning $2 orders into gold.

Uber Eats now offers $13 an hour in Orlando. After that about 2 weeks ago. Now all the trips are horrible. It's not worth it anymore. So sad 😢

[@Ottobon]

20$ a hour is too low. I know some drivers may struggle to make that if new or in very rough markets but having struggled before and gotten through, then seeing pay cuts, its just not worth it once you factor in the risk, maintenance, fuel costs. 22.50 to 25$ may not sound like much more but it makes a massive difference when you are ideally setting chunk of your pay aside.

[@dmreddragon6]

Some days I'm lucky if I make $5 an hr. on Friday, and Saturday. I'll be sitting there w/zero offers for about 58 mins out of an hour. In the other 2 minutes two really bad offers $2-3 will show up, and then one for $4-6. I don't know how that can be during a busy dinner rush.

[@LOVEisACTIONABLE]

​@@dmreddragon6the over saturation is real. Every one you told about how good it used to be is doing it on the weekends along with their good paying job and all the full timers are losing their asses it's almost impossible to do full time

[@zakiahmed9507]

Something that I have seen personally as an Uber eats driver is that when I am on a ride delivering food and I am maybe using some other navigation app other than Uber when an offer pops up on the top of my screen, it shows a high base pay with either an equal mileage or less mileage, but in truth when I click on it it shows very small bass pay with high mileage like the ones shown in the video. Has anybody else noticed this too?

[@cwolf201]

I use uber only between 1) 10pm and 4am. order numbers are low. but I tend to get better paying orders when I accept. last night I even took a taco bell 8 miles for 22 dollars. that had zero tip after. but it was 22 dollars. 2) 5am to 8am. the rest doordash did once drive a 22 mile taco bell order for 33. to a customer who was 3 miles from a taco bell. the one I picked up from was in a different small town from the customer. did get a 15 going 7 after drop off.

[@ZachDrivesFast]

I wonder how much that taco bell had to bounce around before it got to $22. Crazy that it was all base pay though.

[@cwolf201]

@@ZachDrivesFast yep very

[@jcostanza]

This is what I do also. Tons of boosted orders overnight in Baltimore. I've done $35+ that were $1 tip and plenty of $20-$24 no tip orders for 5-6 miles.

[@mikelinderman8514]

I have to decline nine out of 10 orders because they’re so bad in the Phoenix market

[@pedrohasallthepower]

I wouldn't know if the money for offers went down. I don't ever see any orders anymore, oversaturated market

[@petepachio]

Las Vegas market is horrible … they are stacking orders abd you don’t kkkw till you pick up the first .. also the pay rates are horrific

[@austindort5900]

My pet theory is all apps are promoting longer distance to increase fees. No extra fees for drivers, just profit for the app and it’s under paid employees.

[@MarzNet256]

Yup.

[@Craigipo]

Its mileage, time, cost of gas, and using your own car. Its most importantly RISK! Why risk getting killed for a $7 delivery? Why risk getting stabbed for a $3 delivery? All deliveries need to pay $1 per mile and have a guaranteed $3 tip.

[@bluenetmarketing]

They need to add automatic minimum per mile trip charges, otherwise there will be no delivery people taking the orders.

[@russellloganmusic5023]

Food delivery is gone down the toilet. The AR nonsense with DD now punishing drivers by not allowing them to schedule shifts is insane.

[@baritoneblazzin1965]

The worst order yet I've received in my market was $7 and change going 42 miles

[@baritoneblazzin1965]

Just crazy

[@aye_yo_mick]

It's wild some people accept these orders

[@bEtHeSdA_LAME_sTuDi0s]

They're legit Neanderthals who think they will get fired if they hit decline

[@mucholangs]

It's demand and supply. When more drivers are chasing fewer orders, pay is bound to fall. With so many drivers, people will accept trash offers.

[@rachelabate2401]

I had just dropped my kid at a summer activity, argued with her, and was feeling flustered. My phone pings. I'm in traffic, and I accepted an order without searching it out. 17.09 for 23 miles. I had to drive back home so 46 miles. I just put gas in my car. I came home to eat and rest cause I was annoyed. I can't believe this is for real. 😢

[@clcrittenton9950]

Yes they had the nerve to send me a $1.99 the other day 😂

[@kev7161]

As to how much are customers tipping: As a driver, I don't care how much they are tipping. I care how much the initial offer is. If a majority (or all) comes from Door Dash, fine by me. I might cringe just for just a minute when I see no tip, but we've been conditioned to feel that way. If I accept an offer and there is actually more given to me at the end (due to hidden tip), so much the better, but I would've been happy with the initial offer.

[@nasonyarowell2277]

It was amazing back in the day, but now I'm planning my exit strategy back into the real job wold.

[@weeklyalexa257]

Yea, I remember when my dad did it in 2019 he was able to make over $100 everyday. Then they had up to 1.9x boosts and you could make a little extra..Now you're lucky if you can make half of that

[@mr.steve017]

Remember when uber started giving us compensation when gas prices first skyrocketed? They have to get their money back somehow, just like all those free checks the government was given out. They have to get it back some way. Inflation is killing the market and so is greed. 😎👎

[@larryt510]

Yep 💯

[@ZachDrivesFast]

I hadn't considered that. That's a valid point. Nothing is free....

[@tadghostal8769]

Inflation is an unrepresented taxation that you are still willing to pay.

[@MAGA4EVA1986]

I just got a request for $7.35 for a 22 Miles!! WTF??

[@ZachDrivesFast]

That’s insane! Shouldn’t be allowed

[@4Naturalgreen]

You were born with a completely natural artificial voice. If you weren’t in the video, I’d swear the voice was an A.I. bot. Very monotone and artificial sounding. Very cool!

[@candancewashington8335]

We do all the hard work, use our time, cars, and energy to go and do all these ridiculous orders. I have seen worse. People are allowed to take their tips back for absolutely NOTHING

[@djsound-nice7637]

All you have to do is go to your driver preferences and set your driving mileage to your liking. Most drivers keep it at unlimited.

[@matthewng4361]

I've noticed that during certain times (usually after midnight) if you are the only driver in the area, then you could decline and wait for a few minutes and they will bounce it back to you for a few dollars more. Generally it's when I get a drop off into a "zero hot spot" area. Then if I get an order in this area and decline, it just comes back to me again... (highest jump in pay was $7 CAD) usually it's $2-4 more. There's no minimum order amount, so UE needs to reduce pay from "profitable" orders to pay for these minimal orders. I've delivered $6 worth of pizza for $5 delivery pay for me, there's no way UE is making money on that transaction.

[@gregpalmer572]

I have been pondering the far low rate uberEats orders that I get. I believe its because either noone is in that area to accept it at the time or request. or (and most often) its the low rate/no tip reequests that uberEat deliverers do not accept. If a request isnt accepted I imagine it goes to trip radar, and offered to the next closest deliverer, and keep going out further until someone gets the customer their food. and depending on where they order from, the request goes to the restaurant closest to the deliverer that accepts it. the establishment doesn't usually make the orders until a delivery is accepted. A lot of times, i imagine, if you go to a place that already has it made, someone accepted it and then canceled.. of course I can't confirm that.

[@Bozz_khen]

Everytime I turn on Uber Eats Almost all the orders from my area are like those reverse order 🙄

[@Derby_City_Dasher]

There is an uptick in trash orders on Uber Eats. Got so bad I didn't do a single Uber order on Sunday. For awhile I was doing better on Uber than Doordash, but now that's reversed. I wouldn't say customers shouldn't be allowed to order from 18 miles away just not for only $6 dollars. I've made a lot of money by taking orders around 20 miles away usually from P.F. Chang's probably, because it's the only one in the Louisville metro area, the next closes one would be in Lexington which is between 70 to 80 miles away. These type of orders for me are usually around 30,40 even $50 and often they are going to Southern Indiana which is fairly comparable to my favorite area so I don't worry about coming back, especially sense it's about the same distance to my house from either spot. Now I'm seldom getting those types of orders unless they are in the trips radar which is hit or miss rather they'll even be legit orders. I've seen Uber orders worse than the one you showed. I say one that was $8 for 40 miles.

[@ZachDrivesFast]

I hear what you're saying. Back in the day, sometimes that high mileage orders were the way to go. $30 for 15 miles? Sure thing! But now, that same order would be like $6.00... No thanks.

[@DibbsAndDabbles]

The high mileage comes from what restaurant has their app available?If the app is off, it goes to the next closest restaurant.Or the customer can pick the restaurant available

[@smokinglife8980]

you can unassign without affecting the completion rate just pay attention to the option you are choosing

[@NowLater-zc2kn]

It's the same here in Charlotte North Carolina. Very bad.

[@baritoneblazzin1965]

Same here in Ft. Liberty/Fayetteville, NC it's terrible

[@TwitX2007]

Same in Raleigh, NC

[@harveypaxton1232]

We used to set a lower limit of 2.00 per mile. That is history now. Our market is only offering 1.00 or less. We have seen a large decline in the tip amounts. On those long milage offers you really have to double the milage because you will be "deadheading" back to your home area. Take care.

[@richardconard9618]

I started driving for Uber in November after I retired. I started doing eats and rideshare. But now I only do rideshare. I refuse to do eats now. Realized real quick it is not worth it.

[@SyphonGaming]

People should only be able to order within a 10 or 15 mile radius and we should get a consistent pay per mile to where it's worth to take every order no matter the tip amount

[@BroadwayLTDProductions]

In Austin I have seen UE orders paying 25 cents……yes……TWENTY FIVE CENTS A MILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Blueeyes09]

I declined 7 of those today here in Austin. It’s brutal lately

[@AngelJinSC]

On my 2nd day.. saw an offer for $7 going 21 miles away into the next county. Today, I was getting one offer sent to me about 4 or 5 times (lowering my acceptance rate EVERY time I rejected it... which is absolute bs) it started at $2.13 for 10 miles... declined it... then reappeared for $2.24... and so on. When I used to decline... it never came back to me. Now, I have 4 hits to my metrics over this stupid backwards offer.

[@kenbrownfield6584]

Door Dash does the same thing. I had an order for dollar general that was 20 miles away from the customer when there was a dg 1/4 mile from the customer. Not the first time this happened.

[@stephaniedavila9351]

Wow Thank you for all the info. Good thing I looked into it. I knew something was off , how do I go from working 8hrs being able to make atleast 100$ now i barely get orders and these orders are less than $10. I have noticed a big change. And gas is not cheap. But this is my only job at the moment , currently applying at other jobs because this has gotten ridiculous. Had no idea but now it makes sense. I never payed attention to some of these things on Uber. Thanks for info. Anyone else in LA LB area having the same issues? Any tips?

[@baritoneblazzin1965]

Yeah it's really bad they have too many drivers. Best of luck.

[@thecamiify]

Yes, I'm in Redlands ish is rediculous! I got an $8.06 order to drive 23 miles! I said these people crazy asf they think I'm doing this ish.😅

[@CarmanSitu]

UberEat orders are always trash, I see it from the restaurant side. With small orders, I can’t see how drivers make any money! The only way is requiring MIN $$ orders, should be at least $50 or bigger orders, so at least $5 tip MIN + whatever base pay of that order is. Small orders will never get you the right pay ~ even if they tip you 30-40% on small order

[@adamromanowski4681]

I have to decline about 90% of the orders that come through in my area for the same reason.

[@taylorscrews2284]

I JUST (I mean within the hour of typing this) I had a $8 McDonald’s order, 20 mins across the freeway when I know there was a McDonald’s in his area. Within two miles. And the asshat didn’t even tip.

[@EMVelez]

Classic McDonald’s customer

[@scottyj6023]

Hi Zac. I have found in my market most Uber orders are like yours however I will occasionally still see some very good orders. I wonder who drives those orders like you showed? Do those customers get their food? I would never take one of those I would be amazed if a driver took one of those I think I might look on the customer app for Uber Eats and see how far I can order from my home Maybe you might try that in your market or some of the other viewers of your channel might want to chime in Keep em rolling

[@johnwilliams8184]

I have seen similar grabs from the driver. And no shortage of driver supply
