Maybe he did that on purpose for legal reasons. It's called pulling an intentional "oopsies." Can't technically say he called anyone out. Good catch by the way.
Earlier today, he's over on Deliver that's Yotube channel praising them like a corporate boot licker. Then later today, he makes a video bashing them saying their stealing customer's tips. Its like he wants to get deactivated from another app. But at least he's saving money on haircuts and razor blades. Gotta tighten the belt after ex GF Door Dash ran off with another delivery boy
Pedro is an intelligent man that’s y I luv watching his channel he will call a spade a spade whether it’s directly or indirectly (indirectly to avoid legal issues) SMART MAN
@@Bilal_Aslam_ one good thing about doing gig apps full-time is it allowed me the opportunity to go out and try new things. I started mounting TVs on the weekends with my son. Father and son work. Honest work. Honest pay. Generally better pay than what I would ever make working for someone else having me go out and do the same exact work. I build long-term relationships with people that I'm going to deal with again. And I'm teaching my son the value of hard work and how to use tools If I was working a 40-hour week W-2 job I probably wouldn't take the initiative to try new things like that I guess at the end of the day we all need to find our routine that works best for us. Maybe have a full-time job but only do like 4:10 or something like that or 312. Just to make sure that the bills will absolutely get paid. And then go out and do all this hustle stuff to make extra money.
The channel blew up when people were ordering like crazy and people were making big money delivering. At a certain point you get tired of delivering whether you have a RU-vid channel or not. He’s on a catch 22 - not really wanting to be a delivery boy but can’t really give it up because he’s making RU-vid money. Not a place I’d wanna be.
Bingo. DeliverThat and EZ-Cater are running their biz and it ain't none of the drivers biz. Take it or leave it. Go start your own biz and keep all the profits you can generate. That's what time it is !!
As I've always said, these companies start out paying you like they're printing money in the basement. Then, all of a sudden, the pay is not sustainable, and the driver suffers. It's always a matter of pick and choose and the lesser of the evils to make your money.
They are stealing TIPS! I've talked to people who said they tipped in the app, thinking it was for the delivery drivers. The restaurant combines them with their tip pool and low ball, the driver on the delivery tip!
Customers are now asking me if I got all the tip from certain pizza places. I complete the order in front of them and let them know if I got the entire tip. So far, I am getting all of the tip. I never asked them why they are suspicious about certain restaurants, but one customer was concerned because they used the restaurant's app.
@@Burkett1950 Wouldn't surprise me. A Pizza Hut delivery driver told me they get paid less than minimum wage while they are actively delivering, so they really need tips to make it worth it.
I personally feel it's pretty messed up you can't even question an issue as important as stealing tips without being in fear of losing ur job. Tips is what makes our paycheck. Gig businesses are getting so dirty. It's literally an American sweat shop out here now and nobody is standing up to the right people.
One thing I like about doing work outside of food delivery is I don't have to rely on someone's generosity, or kindness to make my bills get paid. After a while you get tired of it. I'm not going to compare it to panhandling like a lot of people do. But the fact is, that whole relying on others kindness to get by does feel quite similar at times
that's true, you can actually call EZCater and they will tell you the tip on the order if there was one.Also lots of customers see a $53 delivery fee and assume it's going to the driver so no need to tip additionally
In my opinion on these deliveries(catering), if the restaurant has authority over dispersing the tips for the orders to their employees, they should split an equal percentage with the driver. You're not making the food that the restaurant bought and sold, or packaging it up on your time, but you're playing a different part of the service life cycle to the customer. They wouldn't have sold the food for delivery at that scale without you(or any driver) using your car, gas, time etc. Pretty messed up for them to keep the whole tip and not give you anything.
I agree. There are certain restaurants by me that I no longer accept trips as their tips seem low to me for a restaurant that has a much higher food order, seems to be same pay as delivering from a fast food single order. Something is definitely up.
I got to be honest man watching this channel everyday like I do is getting depressing and depressing and depressing I'm like feeling bad for you but not man it might be time to go get a job
@@maddashforroadtripcash3477 yeah and I started coming to that realization after just a couple of months of doing this kind of work full time. I ended up going to get a real job because I couldn't keep up with the car repairs. Every time I thought I was going to get ahead I got put back behind again. At a certain point you really got to take inventory on your life and what you need to do and do something about it. You can either be miserable or you can be happy. But generally speaking you can't be both
@@bballah9969 and you know what? I bet it's getting old for him too. But he does a channel about what he goes through throughout the day. And he's giving an honest assessment of what it is that he's going through. The only problem, is that at a certain point it's like dude why are you continuously going through the same thing over and over? You can't afford to live like this and it's not behooving to your family to allow yourself
😆 🤣 😂 phukn hilarious and dead-on. This Pedro talking. Don't you understand Pedro is supposed to get treated like royalty. He's special. When he enters, the money should be dropping like rain into his pockets.
@@dabbott9871 exactly so these restaurants that take our tips don’t get their orders delivered their jobs don’t get tips to begin with so they have no right to take any of ours
It's not that pedro is negative. It's just the nature of the gig economy now. Shit is depressing. In comparison to the pandemic era and everyone was making baller money.
Bro, the catering company is adding a delivery fee and gratuity fees which the customer assumes is going to the staff and the driver. This is why they aren’t leaving a tip. Then the catering company is taking it and putting some of it into the “tip pool” and pocketing the rest. As long as we keep accepting orders then they’ll keep paying us trash.
5:49 Hi, thanks for this video! From what I've learned is that you have to ask the restaurant for a paper receipt where the customer signs and add gratuity there. Then in the deliverThat app you would have to upload it and you will get paid! But when it comes to delivering to a school or a doctor's office most likely you would not get any gratuity. So it's kind of a gamble.
This is the way! I’ve started taking the non-tip pool orders because the customer usually tips more than what the pool would’ve been or gives cash. Got a $200 written in tip on one and submitted to DeliverThat. The tip pool is fine if the order isn’t huge like a couple hundred and doesn’t need a lot of setup. DiBellas subs told me straight up they keep 50% of EZ cater tips cause I asked one day when the receipt didn’t match the app. You also have to be careful as to whether or not it was ordered through EZ Cater platform or the restaurant website. I would assume they have more control over where the money goes when it gets ordered through their own website.
Gig suggestion #3: pass out flyers in single family neighborhoods and offer to wheel their trash barrels out on pickup days and come back and wheel them back in their backyards. Offer for extra fee to clean the trash barrels weekly or bi-weekly or monthly ( really easy to do).
I did one $400 ezcater order and it was my last. Doordash said no tip and I was pissed. I have a gut feeling the doctors office tipped and it was stolen from one of the middle men. Never again
They don't have to charge a delivery fee anyway because they charge membership fees and they charge the merchants to list on doordash. I know it's not doordash but they all do the same thing. They charge advertisers to advertise on the platform so they have multiple revenue streams
Of course you should get the full tip!!! They are taking advantage of us…I don’t know how anyone makes a living w these gig apps! For me it’s just part time pocket change to keep me moving at 50 years old!! I have been seeing woman delivering w 2-3 kids in the car or in the restaurant!! It’s insane lately!!!!!
If your still getting your tip pool then who cares what anyone else is getting. Just don’t take big ass orders unless they are easy and stop the complaining already
It looks like deliverd that is trashier then some of the other apps!!!! Shit I'm actually sorta glad I didn't bother to continue with the sighnup process!!!!
Eventually you will figure out which restaurants to stay away from. Next time , Just text ez cater and ask politely if there is a gratuity. They will tell you. I have many places that take their own catering orders and give the no tips back to ez cater to service. Direct partner restaurants are more prone to keeping the gratuities. Deliver that is your best counter to the no tip orders with tip pooling.
Ezcater sends tips to the restaurant and they have to manually transfer it to the dd system for your to get it. The restaurant mgr knows this and stole it either for themselves or gave it to an employee. I would call the restaurant corporate office and report them for tip theft and tell them the mgr is refusing to give you the tip. 99% of the time they will get it fixed.
Why are pocket watching so heavy? If it wasn’t worth your time you take it into account when accepting another order from the restaurant. I feel like you are getting to the point where you are engagement farming like paid 2 drive. Not in click baiting but in asking redundant questions.
Pizza hut takes tips. I've seen the receipts that show how much the customer tipped and I received little or no tip. It wouldn't surprise me at all if other restaurants are keeping tips for themselves
While there might be some games being played, on Uber Drive I was proud of my 50% tip rate! Even if I got $1 on a ride it still counted. Over the past 7 months my tip per ride % has dropped to 10-15% and I’ve increased service with ice cold water (I’m in Phoenix), door opening, and helping with luggage in or out. Harris’s Economy has crushed the working and middle class all stop!
That tip pool did not sound right. I was not selected for the Deliver/Deliver that - the Creator was keeping me from getting used up. I only take orders that r at least 2-1. I do not focus on a tips. 🥰🥰Maybe they do not want u to know how much the tip was. Peace and love!!!!!
Isn't this why UDM originally was mad at you which provoked porch pedro? By drivers for drivers? You are right, they only treated drivers good until they got a army of drivers. Now they are slowly taking away all of your dignity.
Pedro.... Just a suggestion brother. From one former disgruntled delivery driver to another. If you want to make good money, and feel like youre appreciated for your work.... Do Uber and Lyft full time. I did Doordash and a few other delivery apps; and always felt overworked and underappreciated. Plus the pay was $h!t. But once i got into the rideshare apps full time, my annual $ went up 2x+ and 97% of the time.... I get a thank you or appreciate you. Plus when you engage the customer and drive well .... Most show their appreciation with tips. Sorry this was soo lengthy... But after going through the same crap as you and finally finding a great alternative id recommend it to anyone looking to get out of the food delivery rat race. God bless & thanks for all the wisdom through the years. 👊👍
i get plenty of ez cater orders with doordash that require a setup but, i get the full tip which is generally 10% and sometimes more so its always worth it for me. it has never been a setup like you are describing though, it just take the dishes or platters out and lay them out for a picture. i talk with many of the merchants around me and some of them do their own catering through ez cater as well and one in particular seems to be doing some shady stuff with the tips from what i can tell. it kinda seems like the owner is pocketing the tips to me and maybe that is the case with what you are dealing with?
I'm glad I don't do catering orders anymore, but during covid it was nice in Atlanta. I would have $150 tips sometimes in one order but something's going on
I noticed the same with zifty... And they say the bigger the order the more we get paid. Yet 600 order and get 21.00..nah. Only if they are short trips really otherwise not worth it.
I think $32 for a small to medium catering order on deliver that is fine. But if it's a large catering order with complex setup and same pay? That's bogus. I only do the samllish ones. Doordash catering orders are sweet but man you gotta hit the lotto to get one unless you cracked the code for glitch 2.0 😂
I would ask your next few customers if they left a tip. Explain that there is never a tip on the receipts and you were curious if they have a place to tip on the app. I have done that before with pizza hut and a customer. They said there was no place on the website to tip. I was getting no tips on any of the orders coming from there so I asked.
That restaurant you won't name is definitely keeping the tips! No way 6 companies you deliver to isn't tipping. Almost every single company Ive delivered to leaves great tips!
Tips, no tips. If the price of the order makes sense to you what does it matter what the line items are. I’ve never understood the no tip no trip. If I get an order that’s pretty decent and it turns out that it was paid by DoorDash or Uber because the order was behind and the customer didn’t tip. I don’t care. I only care about the actual price of the orders how much time and distance to deliver.
Setting it up is crazy!!!. I definitely need extra for that or it being left, this is probably why they deactivated my account lol!! It’s like week by week these gig apps take advantage of you drivers
I dont think he should set up the food that's usually the hr lady job I've worked as a manager at several different jobs your not supposed to set its there job to do that
Shouldn’t come as a surprise bro. Papa Johns does it and sends out 2 3 4 dollar orders. I’m real cool with a few ppl at the papa John’s and she unknowingly showed me that she took the tip cause she said she was sending an order out. When it hit my phone I said it’s only 2 dollars I said fuck that she said that’s a dollar more then the tip she had got that day and she said she was getting her tips off a few orders. I’m sure all pizza places take tips from us
From my experience with catering orders in the STL market on the restaurant and delivery driver end I’m guessing ez cater is taking a large cut of the tip/del fees than they are paying out. Dude I could talk to you for days about what I know about this industry and how big of an area of gray it gets when it comes to where the tips go. It would have to be in DMs or somewhere not here just cuz I don’t wanna getting back to the wrong person, but if you cared to hear man, I’d definitely share with you.
Sounds like this restaurant in my town that the tip seems always low or it does not go over a certain amount 7 dollars on uber eats. Allso, 7 is very rare, normally around 4 dollars. Very fishy, and decided never to pick up from there.
I just hope the pay stays above $30 a delivery. As an outsider to deliver that it seems the pay is around there. I can see for many they would do a tip pool to make that much per order. I wouldn't because that reminds me too much of the backdoor deals when I did sales. Also an interesting interview on the deliverthat RU-vid. I got to ask what their opinion is of you singling out a customer/client. If they are cool with that it will be the first good thing I could say about them. That they respect your right to advocate for better pay.
WOW! Those trays and sternos, never had that with gig catering! Carabbas as staff, we did all that years ago all dressed up and everything. Definitely not paying enough, and that is wrong.
Ok they are stealing the tips like I had a so called catering order from Panera bread and I saw the tip on the bill 56 dollars the girl said oh no that goes to use and I was like what and for sure I got 11 dollars for the order and the order was like 400 your new to the catering part before we would get some of the tips or all of it now like you said we are at the end of the pole and how things are we are not eligible for tips no more it’s crazy how we have gone from essential to useless but they still want to eat good crazy
The company actually show you the tips they receive going to tip pool and evenly distribute to the drivers? in this day and age and society you think you can trust the honor system based on the experience we have seen from the restaurants and gig companys stealing from the drivers tips. Without the drivers the circle of this type of business traction wouldnt happen but the system is set up to screw the drivers from both ends.
$361 and $45 delivery fee. You getting $20ish. If there was a tip pool, you would get close to $40. Meaning the tip pool would cover for operational cost for ezcater and deliver that. But NO! You don’t even get close to the delivery fee they charge customer. Y’all are are funny. I do hope some of you guys band together and gather evidence and sue these fckers.
