Re: the difference between apps in your area: When I did South Austin, I often felt that DD was a little better than UE when closer to I35 or Ben White, and UE a little better in the southwest. One wrinkle between UE and DD is that DD has the earn by time option, which often helps DD get those non-tippers serviced. If you're getting three non-tippers in a row, it's probably because nobody took up the offer of earn by time and the algo figured you might be willing to suck it up to keep your status. (The one time I breached 50% AR, I got *flooded* with crud orders.)

@@txtncnomad6095 "breached 50% AR" Yeah don't wanna storm Normandy for platinum, my friend 🤣 they well send the crud! Lol That's fairly accurate though your observations. Uber eats is way better in general in Austin. Almost all over. I make money on that app without even trying or thinking about it. Doordash is so much work trying to cherry pick and schedule it's too much hassle. Instacart has great potential! I'm so close to diamond cart now and will show what orders I get soon

not a loss. My AR on DD is regularly under 10%. Granted, I have a W2 and I keep food delivery as a side hustle but taking these orders that are under $2 a mile is a fools errand; you are making just above minimum wage after gas/car repairs. I personally now don't really do anything under $3 a mile like yesterday I made ~$140ish between one super early morning catering order ($50) before 9 AM and the dinner shift. Drove a total of 40-50 miles including the drive home.

Even if you made 214 on Thursday, what is your average per day over a 30 day period? How bout your average over 6 months? That gives a better picture of how much you’re making as a driver. Of course, also got to subtract the gas expenses, as well as taxes you will be paying. Plus the fact that you do not have much job security. All it takes is a few mistakes for them to suddenly deactivate you, and then you cannot return to the platform, and what will you do then? It is not a stable source of income, is the bottom line. No paid time off, no health insurance, no 401k, rapid wear and tear on your vehicle, constant purchasing of gas.

@@evanhughes1510 I've made videos about all this kind of stuff. Even showed my literal bill in the mail for last year from the IRS! 😂 I'm pretty transparent. I did $72k gross last year and owed $3k in taxes after I did my deductions. Yes as a business owner, your income will fluctuate depending on the market and depending on how much business you're willing to do. Gas is a very low expense in a Toyota Prius in Texas where it's $2.50 a gallon.
