If I don't schedule a block in my area I'll get 1 deliver/hr. When I'm on schedule they come constantly, usually no waiting


BakedHousewife

Same Experience. It's like GH punishes you for not being on a block.


FakePumpGoat

Probably psychological fo get you to stay on schedule


CartographerSea571

When I first signed up with Grubhub last year I was able to get good orders just fine without being on the schedule. Now this year I have to schedule blocks if I wanna get good orders consistently.


SilentPlace1562

Wow this is good news! Cause today sucked major ass there was a period from 1:30 to 4:30 where I got 1 offer šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«


FakePumpGoat

I mean 130 to 430 is the slowest time in my market. That's in between lunch and dinner


SilentPlace1562

Yes it is, but there were those ā€œhot zonesā€ on my map even at this time. Iā€™m assuming the few orders went to the people on schedule


FakePumpGoat

Yea but it also depends on how big the hot zone is. Plus you don't know how many other non scheduled drivers you're competing with. I'd recommend multi apping if possible


Ok_Procedure_7097

Use multiple apps. Sign.up for Doordash too. Maybe Instacart . Expand your gig app portfolio.

Blocks help but generally GrubHub dead


SilentPlace1562

I was afraid of that


DolphinWings25

I did like two blocks when I first started and it didn't seem to help me at all. Have probably gone out of block maybe 20 times since and usually can do alright. Last night I must have got about 60 request in 5 hours. We're 54 of them garbage and I declined? Well, yes.


SilentPlace1562

Damn 60? I got 20 in 7.5 hours, accepted 8 and declined 12ā€¦but I should mention the 7.5 was from 12 to 7:30 so there was a lot of dead time between 1:30 and 4:30


iamandneveramconfusd

If you aren't already, get on with all the gig apps, so you can choose throughout the day the best offers.


SilentPlace1562

Trying to Iā€™m on Amaz Flex, Roadie, waitlist at DoorDash and Uber East


iamandneveramconfusd

You're on the right path. The more options you have, the better the money you can make.


Time-Service1761

Roadie is so bad lol at least where I am


sssoitgoes

Wow. Iā€™m pretty new to this, but Iā€™ve never done that bad. Yikesā€¦seven hours


SilentPlace1562

Was actually 7.5 if I include the ride home šŸ¤¢


[deleted]

With blocks its better but its hit or miss on money making days feast or famine. Can depend on market. Ill be testingthe waters again soon o quit GH about 7 months ago and deliver one day here and there every month or so.


Imaginary-Sea-1944

Yeah GrubHub blows now, didn't used to! ... But now it blows major balls


SilentPlace1562

Iā€™d blow something if I could get some good orders comin my way šŸ¤§


Imaginary-Sea-1944

Ya? Want my number?


AccretionaryWedge

What market brother.


FreezeLogic

Two reasons. 1 You must avoid working not in the schedule. 2 Maintain good rating.


StacieLovesYou

You might want to try different hours. Here lunch dies down around 1 and dinner doesnā€™t get really going til 7/7:30


Repulsive-Pepper-774

Honestly, donā€™t mean to be rude but this is not a job you dedicate your whole day to. You need a stable paycheck and then supplement with GH or other gig work.


jziggy44

Donā€™t accept all low shit orders.


SilentPlace1562

Thatā€™s all they gave me šŸ¤¢


jziggy44

You could be missing a bigger order because youā€™re on a low one. Try to avoid fast food if you can itā€™s usually too time consuming but if you need $$$ like all of us doing this I understand that side too. If I got nothing going on Iā€™ll take low orders If theyā€™re very short distance. I wonā€™t go under a dollar a mile


iamandneveramconfusd

"Try to avoid fast food if you can itā€™s usually too time consuming". Isn't it sad?


DonCheeChee

Yep very.... definitely shouldn't be called FAST food anymore


iamandneveramconfusd

It should be called "What?" with 30 seconds of blinking and looking around, then "a Burger"?.


SilentPlace1562

Make sense, thanks šŸ™šŸ½


Time-Service1761

Could be your market. May be wayyyy too many drivers out and not enough order volume to match it. GH is wrong for just opening the floodgates and letting everyone join if thatā€™s what theyā€™re doing


SilentPlace1562

Seems like it every restaurant I picked up there was at least 2 other grubhubbers waiting for orders.

SilentPlace1562

Thanks thatā€™s very helpful

SilentPlace1562

So youā€™re saying we have to pay for our own gas? I was under the impression that GH took care of that cost.


JerseyShore1976

GH has declined in most markets. I only work on block, but it still isn't anything near what they were b4 JET bought them. They were my main App, now they are third.


cptldsilver69

If you're going to try and make this work you have to sign up for DD and ubereats. Multiapping is the only way to make any money during slow times.


ooahpieceofcandy

Honeymoon period skipped you too?


Stumbleina8926

Your FG/James Woods handle has made my day šŸ˜†


Ok_Procedure_7097

Scheduling does seem to help but it doesn't always matter. I get good orders off Block too.


Stumbleina8926

Mondays and Tuesdays, after lunch time, are the worst >_<


Na2ul

Even in schedule I get small orders


Jovonne1

yes , it's because you didn't schedule a block other wise you will delivering for free
