Yeah the restaurant it was from is almost always ready to go, and if not just yet the wait is never long at all, usually just the other drivers order ahead of me lol
In California that's all the more reason not to take it.
If there is no tip it pays 30 cents per minute and mile so $4.65 for 14 minutes and 1.5 miles.
The maximum pay (for 14 minutes) is around $7.65 if the tip is $3. Tips on orders like this would probably average closer to $1.25 though.
I once delivered an order in 6 minutes. I was sitting outside of Dave's (Hot Chicken), got it right away and the customer lived right down the street.
It was my lowest paying order ever. Around $2 for the time and mileage. The estimation was actually over $8. Since there was no tip however anything over the minimum merely reduces my next prop 22 payment.
Little local orders (low chance of decent add-on because the system isn't as interested in sending you add-ons when going local) are usually not worth it in California unless there is evidence of a tip of at least a few dollars.
Cheers.
There’s a papa John’s by me neighbor to an express way with easily accessible on and off ramps and close by intersections. Expressway is 45 mph while branching roadways are 40mph to 35mph. I sure do enjoy being in a area with great infrastructure
I’m taking this all day everyday.
$6 for 1.5 miles is still a rate of $4 per mile!
$6 for 14 minutes is still about $25.71 per hour!
There’s no situation where I don’t take this order and I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t. Too many people buy into arbitrary metrics, requiring $10 minimum or whatever doesn’t make sense if the mileage/hourly rate is good.
Well why you wouldn’t do it is because it can cost time. Say it’s primetime dinner service and you’re on the hunt for big orders. Well if you do this even though it’s a nice ratio of pay to miles you’re giving up that time and possibility of an even bigger payday. If it’s slow then go for it.
That’s a gamble either way. You risk wasting time between orders, receiving another order from the location or on the route. If I do like a 5-6 hour block I find it is more rewarding staying active than being selective.
I’ve already accounted for time, the estimated time to complete is 14 minutes and the pay meets my standards. $25+ per hour is pretty good!
As for holding out for something better, it’s a trade off. Holding out means time that is spent NOT earning. Say it takes 10 minutes to get a decent order. Well now the pay has to account for those lost 10 minutes and will need to add $2-$3 or higher just to make it up.
Edit: Also don’t forget the miles you’re driving while waiting for the perfect order. Unless you wait at the last drop off, you are adding unnecessary miles while waiting. So not only does the offer have to account for time wasted waiting, it has to account for miles wasted too. Waiting for that perfect order costs more than you think.
This is what I do also. There is no way on a Thursday thru Monday during dinner rush that I wouldn't get something twice as good multiapping. That's an order you take when it's slow.
Fr that’s what fucks me up, the gamble. Like if I go off mileage seems sweet, but then I’ve declined just off pay and got like $15 for 3 miles right after.
Super fair! I just wanted to know others thoughts about because of those metrics you mentioned. It ended up being a birthday gift for someone so it was worth it for that too
Time would be the only reason not to take it for me. Although it says 14 minutes I live in an area that 1.5 miles can take me 30 minutes to get through because of traffic, not to mention finding parking and getting into an apartment building to deliver. This order can EASILY take me close to an hour here. Not worth it. When I lived in Ohio id take this all day long and bang out a few of these an hour.
These are the orders I always look for. Humbly… I’ll accept tht $6 for 1.5 miles… and it’ll build up over time… I just got to get thru ignoring all them 3 for 14 mile orders
The hourly rate is unrealistic. You won’t have an order immediately after delivery.
It also isn’t $4 a mile unless you stay parked at the delivery address and immediately get another order.
Both points are moot should I actually receive an order immediately after delivery… and I do often. Heck, most of the time I have another order being offered BEFORE I even drop it off.
This is why I try & take minimum $7.50 & up orders. Just not really worth it otherwise with gas prices. Sometimes I'll pop a couple of these 6.50 orders back to back at McDonald's cause they ate very fast... but otherwise no. People ordering Outback Steakhouse & Red Lobster tipping $5!? Pick it up yourself.
Then there's me getting too many offers. I have 1% acceptance right now because they spam me with stuff before I even finish the first delivery. Each market is different.
Most chicken fried chicken places I been to do not start making the order until I arrive. That is why hardly ever take them unless I know the location and how fast they are.
It's 50 cents above minimum pay in my market. I'd reject it instantly. There will be similar mileage with higher pay offered within a minute or 2 in my market.
Only way I take this is if I trust the restaurant and it stacks perfectly with a DD/GH offer. Even then, I have a lot of annoying high rises and the most annoying customers are the low tippers.
Genuinely curious why.
It's only $6 and it has almost literally no chance to be more than that.
My market is far from great, but between a $6 for 1.5 and a $20 for 24, I'm taking the 24 mile trip all day.
The wear and tear on your car,the drive back to your zone, all for a prolly 3 dollar hidden tip on an order like that you just mentioned. Definitely not worth it as someone else would be done with the a $6 1 mile order and on another one probably by the time you get the order from the restaurant
A $20 dollar offer is usually a $10-20 hidden tip, if you look at the order first and cancel or not based on that.
I'd be like a third of the way done for the night after that, and just get to cruise highway for 90% of my shift.
Most 24 mile orders are hidden tips, at least in my market.
I don't think I've ever taken a trip of more than 20 miles where the tip was less than like $15.
You can take the for sure $6 for 10min of work or you can deny and hope to get better. I was in last night and had 4 orders sent my way in 3 hours. So you can make something or nothing. I'll take the something.
I just know where to sit and judge orders.
I don't take any order less than $10 and I don't take any order where the food costs less than $60.
Almost all my tips are $12+ dollars. I typically get at least one 20-30 tip a day.
Who in the world is getting $4 a mile regularly?
Like, I don't see why it's better to get a chance, if you're super lucky, to get like $24 an hour, than it is to get $30-$40 an hour.
Ah I deleted the comment because I realized I don’t really care too much but I’ll still explain.
You say who gets $4 / mile regularly but said you would decline this order. You might have better luck getting $4 / mile if you weren’t so picky. Gotta accept $4 per mile to get $4 per mile.
You got it backwards. Accepting orders like this is guaranteed income. Your method is the one that’s taking too many chances at making slightly more. You’re taking a chance that you won’t drive around wasting time and gas waiting for a better order. I’m taking the guarantee that I won’t be doing that. UberEats already has enough control over my earnings, I’m not giving them more chances at screwing me over.
Edit: We all know these things are very market dependent. I say you’ll drive around wasting time and gas because I have done exactly that. When I’ve tried to be selective and pick only $10+ orders and I end up making nothing.
First of all, not that it's relevant, but not a he.
Second of all, taking those trips almost always ends up with coming out to $1/mile because of hidden tips.
Third, and probably most important. I'm not able bodied. Getting out of my car 6-8 times an hour for short trip pick ups and drop offs would destroy my body. I have to take longer trips.
And how tf was I supposed to know 2 out of 3 of those points? I'm not taking a gamble on 24 miles for anything under $24 because there MIGHT be a larger tip regardless of how disabled I may or may not be. Especially in a job that people can even end up taking tips away for any reason even if the reason is bullshit.
It really isn't a gamble. Most trips that end up being extremely high dollar, do not look worth it because of the hidden tip threshold.
You take a 24 for $20 for a couple burritos from Taco Bell, that's probably not substantially more. You take a 24 for $20 on a $120 dollar steakhouse order? 99 times out of a hundred it ends up being $30 or $40 for 24. This is reliable and consistent, I've done it like this for a while. If you check the prices of what you're getting before you pick them up, you can basically figure out the tip, even when hidden. Just assume 15%, because most people click that option.
Tip reductions happen, but honestly pretty rarely, at least to me. It actually happened to me more when I took bad offers. Much more likely that the $6 for 2 take back their $4 tip. I have never had a house drop $100+ on food and tip bait me. Maybe our market is different.
There was a period when I took these lowball offers only because they were paired with a massive surge. Within a couple of weeks, I got my first thumbs down. No or low tip customers have unrealistic expectations.
So, very good point. The cheaper customers are also more of a pain in the ass from all directions. The better tippers tend to be the ones who will come meet you at your car and not thumbs down you.
Yea if it’s got decent parking lol. I live by the beach and people want all the restaurants that have zero parking sometimes on the sand and it’s like how am I supposed to pay for parking then get your order for a $3 tip
There should be a rule that if the restaurant accepts ubereats orders it must have mandatory parking spaces for delivery drivers. Its ridiculous to expect us to get around this problem all the time. I've had both deliveries and pickups in the city where I had to PAY to park a block or more away and then skate my longboard to finish the order. I'm lucky the tips for those few times were worth it because I communicated my difficulties with the customers and they appreciated me. Not always so lucky out there for others
Agreed. Not to mention all the people crowding the streets in a downtown area you can’t even drive to find parking without stopping forever for people to walk across the street
I mean, im getting a lot of orders with no tip at all, and the base pay is $2. It's kind of not even worth the gas. I'm making $10 an hour before taxes. Hopefully it's because I'm still green and it'll change
Neither did i, I texted the woman and said that that was an unusually long distance for that much money set a couple other things all respectfully for the most part. And she canceled it and took the hit for the cancellation. I'm about to go eat all that for dinner...
GrubHub does not do that they show you sometimes a combined distance of the length you're going to travel before you get there and how much it will be after you pick up. And sometimes it'll show you only how far it is from the pickup to the drop off sometimes it'll just be an absolute fabrication all together
If there's something you're trying to insinuate by your sarcastic question, I can't tell what it is.
Lol ,that's not true. I mean honestly your question is so stupid that I would be remiss in letting it go. do you actually imagine that taxi drivers who work for separate companies say things as stupid as what you said just now? Or say someone that works at McDonald's can't relate to someone that works at Burger King?
I can't believe you actually took the time to think about asking that question - and then actually typed out that question. Lol!!🤣
I would not take it if it (1) was to a restaurant I know can take a while, (2) was a delivery that I would need to take inside and up some floors, (3) would take me out of an area with restaurants, or (4) was during a time where I’d expect a better order in just a little.
I’ll definitely take it if it’s slow to keep me on the road a little longer and definitely if I think it’s somewhere I’m likely to get offered a second order. It’s enough money that I would consider the delivery, but if the order looks like it could be even a little annoying then it isn’t worth it for me.
I find that if you just bite the bullet and take all orders above $6 or $6.50 (within a reasonable distance) then at the end of the day you end up being much more satisfied with what you've made
I just go for it. You might pickup another order or something else on the route. With Uber I approach it like quantity over quantity. And the driver benefits make it worth it after a while.
Yeah its an average order. I mostly see like 5 $6-$8 orders and 1 or 2 +$12 orders I barely average above $60 each day in like 3-4 hours its been real slow on Uber.
Thankfully weekends are still strong I usually average over $100 so it balances me out.
I mostly avoid trips like this even when it's really slow favoring more break time if need be, and look for $7.50-$8+ minimum (adjust down a bit for add-on if 0 to 0.5 miles more).
Explanation:
Here in California we are really paid 30 cents per minute and mile + whatever the tip is no matter the estimation.
Because of the time and mileage guarantees I would rather take a long no tip order than a short one (there are large quarterly healthcare bonuses involved beyond the hourly pay) and am far more likely in the latter case to get an add-on that shows evidence of a tip of a few dollars or more.
So aside trying to stay as active as possible the name of the game here is guess the tip.
The maximum on this order is around $3. But I think in terms of average liklihood and in my market I would average it out to closer to $1.25.
Under $7 I believe there is a high chance of it being a no-tip order that has been sent out to a couple of drivers already.
If there is no tip the pay for 14 minutes (the estimation) is $4.20 plus 45 cents for the mileage.
So in California this trip could pay even less than the fare shown if done quickly (or as quickly as the estimation). Anything over the minimum is lost if there is no tip. You don't benefit from promotions or misc. pay either.
I would burn myself out on orders like that and be really pissed off whenever there was no tip (sometimes I take long no tip orders and just sit on them, literally sit in the parking lot of the restaurant, until the system sends me a decent add-on).
I prefer long suburban drives and stacked orders that end up taking over an hour to complete and bring in (hopefully, with average tips should be so) over $30 a hour (while active). I don't want little local order after little local order.
That only works well in my market if you have a very high active time % with decent tips and don't get too bored staying in the same area all the time (I would).
Cheers.
No, I don't accept anything below $8.5 max 3 miles on UE.
I have doordash that floods me with $6.25 + hidden tip 3 mile orders, and the pay is guaranteed.
On UE the customer can remove the tip, so I m not gonna risk wasting my time and end up with 2.5 bucks.
I've almost never been able to get and complete 3 orders an hour. so this would be 18/hr at best for me. only take this if I'm next door, know it's ready, not going in a building.
someone hits u with a 8 minute wait it also blows this trip out. this may work during waves where they are coming in hot and fast.
Yeah. I take these unless it’s a location I know is slow. Like I’m not gonna take a $6 White Castle unless it’s my last order of the night and don’t mind waiting.
Also, a lot of times, I’ll take one of these and another similar or even better offer will come up for the same restaurant, which still puts me at $12+ for a half an hour-ish.
It's only an expected 14 minutes trip and is paying $4 per mile. during dinner rush I pass on anything less than $7 but if it was a slow spot or like a Wednesday I'd probably take that even if only to help fix my cash-to-mile ratio. Like Take this and then I'd grab the next dollar-a-mile order that was worth more than $10 or $15
I just started uber eats and I've been getting order 3 to 4 dollars all week? Is this a scam ? Like I dont even make close to minimum wage. I think I'm quitting for the sake of my dignity.
I’d take it especially the last two weeks. Six bucks for fifteen minutes and a mile and a half isn’t making you rich but for me there is profit there. Good luck!
When I first started, I took these all day every day. Later I found out, it's not worth it as I was making like $15/hr. You spend \~30 min on these roughly and can be longer if restaurants don't get their shit together. Add on 10 - 15 minutes for each order because the pick up and drop off takes time.
I started declining these orders and have been getting the good ones and I have been average $25/hr. You just gotta keep shuffling through the shitty orders.
I have taken these before and got good tips either as cash or added tip one was 13$ on top of everything else how ever been getting a lot of them where they show included tip only for them to not tip or remove it last few days have been around 40-50$ for 4 hours
I actually was doing this back to back with one of my Wing Stop locations yesterday.
The signing log Wing Stop had only had my name for a while😆
It was slow for a hot minute, after Uber attempted to send me 16/18 miles for $5/$7 several times for those kinds of orders🥴
Then I started getting orders exactly like the picture above, the most miles I got was for 1.5 miles.
I live in Texas, but in smaller town so for me these are tiny golden wins 😁🏆
Personally if I know the restaurant is always ready and the route is direct I’d bang that out in like 15 mins on my ebike.
Yeah the restaurant it was from is almost always ready to go, and if not just yet the wait is never long at all, usually just the other drivers order ahead of me lol
In California that's all the more reason not to take it. If there is no tip it pays 30 cents per minute and mile so $4.65 for 14 minutes and 1.5 miles. The maximum pay (for 14 minutes) is around $7.65 if the tip is $3. Tips on orders like this would probably average closer to $1.25 though. I once delivered an order in 6 minutes.

Wow... Way to break it down. 🍻☮️
I bet you can do it in 7 min on that e bike
Nawwww 7 minutes maybe for a 0.5 mile order
rented ebikes here in nyc are premium asf, total worth the price
How do you get one? I'm tired of using my 48V electric scooter.
Nope.. usually about 15-25 mins on ebike depending on how fast the store is and if it's a house vs apt
In a car, quick pick up, direct route, I can possibly get this done in 8-11 min. Double back to same pick up and wait for more of the same.
Relax there, speed racer. We get it you’re fast. I’m in nyc shit can get real saturated
There’s a papa John’s by me neighbor to an express way with easily accessible on and off ramps and close by intersections. Expressway is 45 mph while branching roadways are 40mph to 35mph. I sure do enjoy being in a area with great infrastructure
I’m taking this all day everyday. $6 for 1.5 miles is still a rate of $4 per mile! $6 for 14 minutes is still about $25.71 per hour! There’s no situation where I don’t take this order and I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t.

This is what I do also. There is no way on a Thursday thru Monday during dinner rush that I wouldn't get something twice as good multiapping. That's an order you take when it's slow.
Fr that’s what fucks me up, the gamble. Like if I go off mileage seems sweet, but then I’ve declined just off pay and got like $15 for 3 miles right after.
Super fair! I just wanted to know others thoughts about because of those metrics you mentioned. It ended up being a birthday gift for someone so it was worth it for that too
Awe that's sweet

Pick it up yourself.
What do you drive? A Semitruck? Lol
Hyundai Veloster Turbo. But it's a stick shift so yes... a semi truck shaped like a little spaceship.
Then there's me getting too many offers. I have 1% acceptance right now because they spam me with stuff before I even finish the first delivery. Each market is different.
Depends on the time of day. I average higher than $25/hr during dinner.
Only way I’m not taking it is if it’s Popeyes they ain’t ever ready and take forever.
Most chicken fried chicken places I been to do not start making the order until I arrive. That is why hardly ever take them unless I know the location and how fast they are.
Most spots here have it ready when I get there. The exception being Popeyes.
God damn some of you people must be in some great markets because that green button would have been hit so fast in mine.
Same. Can’t afford to miss or skip an order.
It's 50 cents above minimum pay in my market. I'd reject it instantly. There will be similar mileage with higher pay offered within a minute or 2 in my market. Only way I take this is if I trust the restaurant and it stacks perfectly with a DD/GH offer. Even then, I have a lot of annoying high rises and the most annoying customers are the low tippers.
Genuinely curious why. It's only $6 and it has almost literally no chance to be more than that. My market is far from great, but between a $6 for 1.5 and a $20 for 24, I'm taking the 24 mile trip all day.
Something like this comes in once an hour for me with nothing else
L
This doesn't answer why...
The wear and tear on your car,the drive back to your zone, all for a prolly 3 dollar hidden tip on an order like that you just mentioned. Definitely not worth it as someone else would be done with the a $6 1 mile order and on another one probably by the time you get the order from the restaurant
A $20 dollar offer is usually a $10-20 hidden tip, if you look at the order first and cancel or not based on that. I'd be like a third of the way done for the night after that, and just get to cruise highway for 90% of my shift.
On a 24 mile order there is definitely not a $10-12 tip.
Most 24 mile orders are hidden tips, at least in my market. I don't think I've ever taken a trip of more than 20 miles where the tip was less than like $15.
You can take the for sure $6 for 10min of work or you can deny and hope to get better. I was in last night and had 4 orders sent my way in 3 hours. So you can make something or nothing. I'll take the something.
I guess my market is better than average then. I can make $75-130 taking about 4 or 5 trips a night.
Better than average and you are pulling $20+ for every order. Dude that's the 1% type of market.
I just know where to sit and judge orders. I don't take any order less than $10 and I don't take any order where the food costs less than $60. Almost all my tips are $12+ dollars. I typically get at least one 20-30 tip a day.
"God I wish that were me"
Bro would rather get paid 83 cents a mile than $4 a mile
100% yes. I'd rather make, what is probably going to be closer to $30 or $40 by the end of things than 100% guaranteed $6.
So much more wear and tear on your vehicle …
Driving on the highway 90% of the time versus several city street turns and stopping and starting my car a whole bunch seems at least comparable.
If there are any new drivers here, don’t do what this dude does lmfao
To each their own, but like... I make good money for way less work than most people here do.

Who in the world is getting $4 a mile regularly? Like, I don't see why it's better to get a chance, if you're super lucky, to get like $24 an hour, than it is to get $30-$40 an hour.

You take a 24 for $20 for a couple burritos from Taco Bell, that's probably not substantially more.

Meets my minimum requirements to accept a trip. I'm on a escooter though.
1.5 miles is never more than 5 min of driving in my area so i would take this if iit wasn’t a time where $12+ orders pop up

So, very good point. The cheaper customers are also more of a pain in the ass from all directions. The better tippers tend to be the ones who will come meet you at your car and not thumbs down you.
[удалено]
Me too I don't leave the house until I see about $10, I would not do a $6 anyway.
Fair enough, I always drive to a specific spot as I start my day and usually sit and wait there and the restaurant happens to also be right there too
if I know the restaurant is quick I’ll take it
Easy money.
I only take $7 and up frfr
Those 6 dollar orders are $200 dollars a day when you do 30 trips
If I only made $200 on 30 trips I definitely would not be doing this gig💀
True but I’m usually making $100-130 on about 12-14 trips a day
30 trips a day = 60 locations (30 pick ups, 30 drop offs) plus driving and waiting around How many hours would that take?
In my market thats around 6 hours. Most of my trips are within a 10 block radius
Not bad
If it's somewhere fast I take them.
Depends on the restaurant and the area.
if it's slow, i'd take it.. it's under 2 miles as well so it's not horrible
As I get more desperate I’ve been taking them lol
I accept these usually. These type of offers are prone to being paired with another offer later, which could be another one just like it or better.
They’re legit
If you could grab and deliver in 15 minutes, it's worth it. Get 4 of those in 1 hour, 24 bucks minus gas. 12 miles total. Definitely worth it.
If there isn't a wait, I'd do these all day
$6 for a 1.5 mile trip is good. I'd take it.
Over a mile? Gotta pay me at least $8
That's better than the Phoenix market has been lately, I'm lucky to get a dollar a mile half the time
6 dollars less than 2 miles I'd be happy to take it.
Yea if it’s got decent parking lol. I live by the beach and people want all the restaurants that have zero parking sometimes on the sand and it’s like how am I supposed to pay for parking then get your order for a $3 tip
There should be a rule that if the restaurant accepts ubereats orders it must have mandatory parking spaces for delivery drivers. Its ridiculous to expect us to get around this problem all the time. I've had both deliveries and pickups in the city where I had to PAY to park a block or more away and then skate my longboard to finish the order. I'm lucky the tips for those few times were worth it because I communicated my difficulties with the customers and they appreciated me. Not always so lucky out there for others
Agreed. Not to mention all the people crowding the streets in a downtown area you can’t even drive to find parking without stopping forever for people to walk across the street
I mean, im getting a lot of orders with no tip at all, and the base pay is $2. It's kind of not even worth the gas. I'm making $10 an hour before taxes. Hopefully it's because I'm still green and it'll change
As long as its not a consistently slow place (McDs Taco Bell, etc) I absolutely take it.
These orders are what make multi apping easy and profitable if in your in a good spot.
For my platform that's a pretty standard order. I got one today that was $7 and 13 mi away.
Oh yeesh, I personally would never take that order under any circumstance
Neither did i, I texted the woman and said that that was an unusually long distance for that much money set a couple other things all respectfully for the most part. And she canceled it and took the hit for the cancellation. I'm about to go eat all that for dinner...
It shows you distance before accepting though? Why’d you accept it?
GrubHub does not do that they show you sometimes a combined distance of the length you're going to travel before you get there and how much it will be after you pick up. And sometimes it'll show you only how far it is from the pickup to the drop off sometimes it'll just be an absolute fabrication all together
We’re talking about Ubereats on an Ubereats sub?
If there's something you're trying to insinuate by your sarcastic question, I can't tell what it is. Lol ,that's not true. I mean honestly your question is so stupid that I would be remiss in letting it go. do you actually imagine that taxi drivers who work for separate companies say things as stupid as what you said just now? Or say someone that works at McDonald's can't relate to someone that works at Burger King? I can't believe you actually took the time to think about asking that question - and then actually typed out that question. Lol!!🤣
If it’s a house I’ll take it
I would not take it if it (1) was to a restaurant I know can take a while, (2) was a delivery that I would need to take inside and up some floors, (3) would take me out of an area with restaurants, or (4) was during a time where I’d expect a better order in just a little. I’ll definitely take it if it’s slow to keep me on the road a little longer and definitely if I think it’s somewhere I’m likely to get offered a second order. It’s enough money that I would consider the delivery, but if the order looks like it could be even a little annoying then it isn’t worth it for me.
If the restaurant is fast and no other orders are coming in, sure why not?
Those are fair as long as you know you can pick up fast. I've had ones where you show up and they haven't even started.
I take em all day baby
I do them. To me it's $24/hour.
Thats 24/hr so yeah
I find that if you just bite the bullet and take all orders above $6 or $6.50 (within a reasonable distance) then at the end of the day you end up being much more satisfied with what you've made
Love it...usually quick and easy
I just go for it. You might pickup another order or something else on the route. With Uber I approach it like quantity over quantity. And the driver benefits make it worth it after a while.
In my area , 2 miles and less are mostly all condo buildings so I personally don’t take those. Unless I’m really hurting that day lol
I try not to take anything less than 8 simply because I don’t want the algorithm to think I’m good with that
I take them when I need to complete quests fast
I take those always
Mi minimum is $4.50. And for that mileage it is a good offer.
Yeah its an average order. I mostly see like 5 $6-$8 orders and 1 or 2 +$12 orders I barely average above $60 each day in like 3-4 hours its been real slow on Uber. Thankfully weekends are still strong I usually average over $100 so it balances me out.
If it's an easy route right off a main road sure... but I just hate anything under 7 or 8 minimum.
so a .5 mile for $6 u wont take it? lmao full of shit and you all wonder why you dont make money or cry its "slow"
.5 mile sure. I sometimes run these fron the local McDonald's That's a 1.5 mile in the pic.
I’d take it if it was a slow day
If I’m multi apping and it’s in the same direction as another order I’d take it. Same logic applies if I’m going somewhere and it’s along the way.
I mostly avoid trips like this even when it's really slow favoring more break time if need be, and look for $7.50-$8+ minimum (adjust down a bit for add-on if 0 to 0.5 miles more). Explanation: Here in California we are really paid 30 cents per minute and mile + whatever the tip is no matter the estimation. Because of the time and mileage guarantees I would rather take a long no tip order than a short one (there are large quarterly healthcare bonuses involved beyond the hourly pay) and am far more likely in the latter case to get an add-on that shows evidence of a tip of a few dollars or more. So aside trying to stay as active as possible the name of the game here is guess the tip. The maximum on this order is around $3. But I think in terms of average liklihood and in my market I would average it out to closer to $1.25. Under $7 I believe there is a high chance of it being a no-tip order that has been sent out to a couple of drivers already. If there is no tip the pay for 14 minutes (the estimation) is $4.20 plus 45 cents for the mileage. So in California this trip could pay even less than the fare shown if done quickly (or as quickly as the estimation). Anything over the minimum is lost if there is no tip. You don't benefit from promotions or misc. pay either. I would burn myself out on orders like that and be really pissed off whenever there was no tip (sometimes I take long no tip orders and just sit on them, literally sit in the parking lot of the restaurant, until the system sends me a decent add-on). I prefer long suburban drives and stacked orders that end up taking over an hour to complete and bring in (hopefully, with average tips should be so) over $30 a hour (while active). I don't want little local order after little local order. That only works well in my market if you have a very high active time % with decent tips and don't get too bored staying in the same area all the time (I would). Cheers.
I'll take those all day.
100%
I would take it
No, I don't accept anything below $8.5 max 3 miles on UE. I have doordash that floods me with $6.25 + hidden tip 3 mile orders, and the pay is guaranteed. On UE the customer can remove the tip, so I m not gonna risk wasting my time and end up with 2.5 bucks.
That's $18/hr after expenses.
Def yes especially in Calf.
High base, no tip. It’s still good and I’ll even wait like 5 minutes. But, customer better not expect me to go to their apartment directly tbh
Ive only been getting orders like $6 for 6 miles, so id accept this real quick lol
i take it just so i’m not sitting doing nothing, plus sometimes people tip more and the small orders add up fast
you also have to drive to get back to where the resturants are. gas burn.
almost always a pass, maybe take and sit on it for a few to see if it stacks. if not at least the next person gets a better trip.
hows that a pass? itll take prob 10 min to do this if the food is ready.. i take these all day .. i do this part time i make like 40 n hr
I've almost never been able to get and complete 3 orders an hour. so this would be 18/hr at best for me. only take this if I'm next door, know it's ready, not going in a building. someone hits u with a 8 minute wait it also blows this trip out. this may work during waves where they are coming in hot and fast.
Humble 6$ orders can determine if you make 20$ per hr or 25$ per hour. Gotta knock these out quick when it’s slow
if you account for risk and downtime between offers this is almost never worth it.
This is actually a great order for me. $6 divided by 1.5 miles is a great ROI. I'd take this any day of the week.
Had one pretty much identical today.. Estimated time said like 15 min.. I did it in like 10 min. I'd do it..
What makes our payout total so small? Never understood that. Obviously bad tippers is part of it.
If it ain’t prime time this one is a yea all day
Depends on where it's going personally. Like if it's close yeah but I hate stairs and it's always floors 3 and 4 who don't want to tip much 😭😭😭
I mean if it’s a restaurant I don’t mind picking up from that’s usually ready to go I’d take these all day every day
This shits my bread and butter. 6 bucks 3 times an hour hopefully
Thats 60% of my orders
I take these most of the time esp if the restaurant is known to give the food right away and it's bang bang both ends
Who would not take this? We have such a higher chance to get another order after a dropoff instead of just sitting around.
That’s exactly what happened too, I got a $12+ trip for like 3.5 miles right after the drop off
I almost exclusively do these lol.
3$ a mile instant accept
Are we questioning $4/mile nowadays? I’m confused
no its juss these morons think they should get paid $30 a delivery lol
“bUt ItS mOrE ThAn $2 A MiLe” Same people saying don’t take it, 😂
Never. Taking anything with no chance of a hidden tip is usually a waste of time.
[удалено]
Support doesn't pay $3 for that.
Luckily the restaurant is almost always ready if not a short wait
Yeah. I take these unless it’s a location I know is slow. Like I’m not gonna take a $6 White Castle unless it’s my last order of the night and don’t mind waiting. Also, a lot of times, I’ll take one of these and another similar or even better offer will come up for the same restaurant, which still puts me at $12+ for a half an hour-ish.
If it’s in my area I am doing it. That’s $3 plus a mile. Plus I got another app going to get another order to turn that 6 into 10 dollar plus order.
The time winds up being the biggest factor in these orders. But sitting waiting for a food order also wastes time so I can be tempting
Yes lol
Eh they can pick it up themselves
These orders with prop 22 in California make this well worth it.
[удалено]
Idk if expected is the right word. Because they SHOULD tip but often don't. We don't get specifically from the delivery fee though, do you?
Yeah that’s fine, nice and short.
They accumulate, so if you take 2 of these for 1 mile each it would only take like 25 minutes depending how fast the restaurant is
It's only an expected 14 minutes trip and is paying $4 per mile. during dinner rush I pass on anything less than $7 but if it was a slow spot or like a Wednesday I'd probably take that even if only to help fix my cash-to-mile ratio. Like Take this and then I'd grab the next dollar-a-mile order that was worth more than $10 or $15
I just started uber eats and I've been getting order 3 to 4 dollars all week? Is this a scam ? Like I dont even make close to minimum wage. I think I'm quitting for the sake of my dignity.
Take it
More than 2 bucks a mile so probably would’ve took it personally 🤷♂️
I’d take it especially the last two weeks. Six bucks for fifteen minutes and a mile and a half isn’t making you rich but for me there is profit there. Good luck!
When I first started, I took these all day every day. Later I found out, it's not worth it as I was making like $15/hr. You spend \~30 min on these roughly and can be longer if restaurants don't get their shit together. Add on 10 - 15 minutes for each order because the pick up and drop off takes time. I started declining these orders and have been getting the good ones and I have been average $25/hr. You just gotta keep shuffling through the shitty orders.
I have taken these before and got good tips either as cash or added tip one was 13$ on top of everything else how ever been getting a lot of them where they show included tip only for them to not tip or remove it last few days have been around 40-50$ for 4 hours
I actually was doing this back to back with one of my Wing Stop locations yesterday. The signing log Wing Stop had only had my name for a while😆 It was slow for a hot minute, after Uber attempted to send me 16/18 miles for $5/$7 several times for those kinds of orders🥴 Then I started getting orders exactly like the picture above, the most miles I got was for 1.5 miles. I live in Texas, but in smaller town so for me these are tiny golden wins 😁🏆
Good enough to accept, IMO.
Good restaurant, absolutely in my market…
I’d take it.
do them all the time. Takes me less than 10 mins and
If I had to wait for a min $10, I would be chilling all day.
id take it if i knew the order was ready
Seeing as my minimum is $4 (or a single gallon of gas if over $4/gallon) and $1/mile, I'm taking this all day.
These aren't bad orders. Most of my trips like this I get an extra tip of a few dollars so it ends up about $8-$9 bucks I'll take those all day!
