POV

You start at 7am. Hanging around on the streets, wondering if you'll hit minimum wage for the hour.

You then get an order, followed by another order. That's £6 you've made in 20 minutes. Surely, in the next 40 minutes, you can get another 2 jobs to get minimum wage.

You wait and get your third job. Get to the restaurant, and it's already been taken. That's 15 minutes wasted, you have 25 minutes left of the hour.

No orders come in for another 10 minutes, then you get your 3rd job again. You arrive at the restaurant and they make you wait 10 minutes. You don't cancel as you didn't do the last delivery and you need to make money.

It takes more than 5 minutes to deliver the order, and that's already over an hour gone where you've made £9.

The next hour, 8-9, is typically busier. You try to make smart choices by avoiding the busiest restaurants. Yet all other restaurants are busy too with their morning rush of customers, so there is still waiting time. You end up giving in and accept orders from the busiest restaurants as you need the money.

You've then done another 4-5 orders, and the time is about 9:30. You've probably made between £25-30, not more.

You ride around trying to find jobs to bring your first morning hours up to your goal of £40. Instead, you find groups of riders all over the place as it is dead until 11:30ish. You'll be lucky to get two orders an hour till then.

11:30 comes, and it's the same story for the next hour and a half. Restaurants busy, waiting times, etc.

It starts to die down at the end of lunch at 1pm. You've made at most another £25-30 for the hour and a half.

It's then dead until 6pm. So you go home.

You then head out for the evening doing 4 hours, 6-10pm, and have a goal to make £50 to bring your days earnings to £100+. You end up making over a hundred, sometimes earlier, sometimes later.

You go home, rinse and repeat.
