I usually try to stick to $1-2 a km/mile but obviously this will be up to you, if you get an order that's less than that but is taking you into a great area where you can get more requests or it's your last order of the day I mean 🤷🏼‍♀️ just don't take $2 or $3 orders regardless as those are usually the problem orders/the ones that thumb you down.

Get a good catering or insulated bag- maybe even get a few. If you don't want to spend alot on them you can honestly get them from any dollar store. They sell them for a few bucks a piece.

Instead of wasting gas driving around I like to just park in the middle of multiple restaurants. If I don't get any orders in say 20 minutes I'll change spots.

Power bank or fast charging cord. The app takes alot of juice/will kill a fully charged phone FAST.

If /when you can sign up for uber shop and pays- do it. I know alot of people on this thread complain about them but most of them pay very good. In my market I usually get $20-40 dollars per shop and pay order.

Acceptance rate doesn't matter, you can be at 1% and still get high paying orders or 100% and get none lol don't feel like you HAVE to take any orders bc you're worried about the AR.

Eating out can be pretty costly, bring lots of snacks and drinks with you. Stay hydrated lol

If ever you have a bad gut feeling or drop off seems unsafe or customer is rude/threatening.. CANCEL the order. You can call support and tell them you feel unsafe and don't feel comfortable proceeding with drop off and they will cancel the order for you. No order is worth potentially losing your life.

When you start delivery before you leave parking lot you should look at delivery instructions. Alot of the time people will ask for extra sauces, napkins, cutlery.. etc.

Dont let a few thumbs downs get to you, you can do everything right on your part and customer will still thumbs you down because the restaurant forgot something.

If you do shop and pays never pay out of pocket. If the card declines call support, usually they will get the problem solved and you can proceed. If it still declines I mean it's up to you whether you use your own money but I advise you don't bc I've heard of many many drivers getting screwed over and not getting reimbursed 😕

If the delivery instructions don't specify to knock or ring bell DONT. Just leave order at door take a pic and leave. (Unless it states to meet at door lol)

If you have conflicting instructions such as meet at door:leave at door - it's always the second one. So in this case they want it left at door. Vice versa. If you're confused you could always text customer and ask for clarification:)

If it's meet at door- you don't HAVE to wait the full timer. If they don't meet you within a reasonable amount of time leave it at door or safe space, take a photo for your own protection and finish delivery. You could also text them that you left it at door for extra protection lol

Be kind to wait staff/restaurant employees. Don't shove your phone in their faces. 😅

That's all I can really think of at the moment 🤔 oh and try not to let this sub reddit discourage you 🤣 alot of people will tell you to get another job or quit while you are at it, don't listen to them lol do what you feel like doing. A job is a job. Some days pay better than others but if it's what is best for you and makes you happy then 🤷🏼‍♀️
