Becoming an Uber Eats rider at 51...

Just learnt to ride a moped and somehow thought that becoming an Uber Eats rider would a) give me a chance to practice and b) earn me some extra money. This is my first - admittedly ragged attempt - to record myself doing it a few weeks after I started. Might give some inspiration to clumsy, wheezy middle-aged men everywhere looking for a side hustle and not understanding the first thing about crypto...

Best paying times are usually between Friday-Monday So weekends and the start of the new week. 6am-7am breakfast 12am-3pm lunch then evening around 6pm-3am (pub/club kick out times) but also depends on location and how many fast food places are around your area etc. Good luck though fella! It has good and bad days like any job lol.

Hello! Great to see videos from another delivery worker in Sheffield. I also do Deliveroo part time as a side income. I would say look at getting yourself registered with them if you haven’t already. The mileage you had to cover in that video working with Uber was crazy! On a busy shift I find with Deliveroo you have that many order offers come through you can effectively stay within a few miles of the city centre or your chosen suburb.

hi bud, I'm a 50 yr old guy and I started uber on a e-bike then got a pizza delivery job for papa johns, as they were short of drivers. I then went by car for 1.5 years but the cost of servicing the car, clocking 20k miles and still do uber is hard on the car. Now I'm thinking of getting a e-moped this year to save on cost. So glad your channel showed up for me. Can I suggest try and get on just eat, if you can. ride safe bud.

Are you only on UberEats? What Niu model is your moped? How much is your insurance for hire&reward? I'm considering changing from a push bike next year. I enjoyed the video btw.
@Sheffielddelivers
@Sheffielddelivers 8 месяцев назад
Yeah only on Uber Eats, have applied for Deliveroo and Just Eat but they are full in this area at the moment. Niu model is Nqi GTS, 125CC equivalent. Re insurance, I pay monthly via Zego, costs about 110 pounds, which is quite steep. I think you can pay annually or by the hour as well through them but not sure how much it costs that way
@mjr2567
@mjr2567 8 месяцев назад
​@Rider51_001 Thanks. I think I will have a look at the yearly quote but the hourly rates don't seem worthwhile unless you only work a few hours. Do Stuart delivery not operate in Sheffield still? Maybe Gophr but I'm not on there.
@Sheffielddelivers
@Sheffielddelivers 8 месяцев назад
@@mjr2567 don't think Stuart still operate, I've seen a few drivers with Stuart bags but must be from a few years back because when I looked into work for them, didn't seem any chances in Sheffield. As for insurance, I was a bit reluctant to take the annual quote as I wasn't sure I'd like the job enough to pay for the whole year. The month one was a bit of a compromise between the two.

Ridiculous you are having to drive on those streets with cars parked on both sides and barely one car width been them. Not safe. Selfish car parkers, but it looks to be very common where you are. P.S: In the few order Ins I've done, I never get to see how much the driver / rider actually is getting paid. I pay a fee for delivery which really can't be all he / she will get. So, I'm tipping not knowing how much the driver / rider is getting. Do they get paid extra on top of the delivery fee In charged and the tip i give?
@edwardbroomhead4463
@edwardbroomhead4463 8 месяцев назад
Driver fee is made up of delivery fee charged to customer and part of the commission rate the restaurant is charged for being on the delivery platform. Bigger the order and the more desperate Uber or Deliveroo are to get it filled (I.e very late at night/extreme weather/remote location etc) the more they will offer. If the delivery driver only got paid the delivery fee these apps would be long dead. Nobody is going to work for say £3 a trip and the orders would bounce around the system.
