Now that Prop 22 is in play and drivers are being paid a minimum, Grubhub has responded with a new tip policy in California that charges customers extra while telling them they don’t need to tip. Under Prop 22’s new minimums, gig companies have to calculate a minimum pay based on 120% of minimum wage, …
How much does Grubhub pay their couriers, and is that pay still competitive with other delivery options? Because Grubhub is not a direct employer, and instead contracts with self employed couriers, the answer to that question isn’t as cut and dried. How much does Grubhub pay? There is no hourly wage for Grubhub contractors. Instead, …
In the middle of a pandemic like this, why is Grubhub slashing delivery fees? Or are they? I have to chuckle a little. I’m not sure I realized just HOW many drivers are pretty new to Grubhub. Not until I saw all the shock and anger when Grubhub started offering deliveries for ONLY $8. Or …
I was waiting at a sandwich shop for food and chatting with another driver. At the time, I had been delivering Uber Eats for about a week and a half or so. He mentioned he’d been making about $1300 a week with Grubhub. No way. He showed me his earnings reports. Way. Of course, he …
So I got this special offer from Grubhub this weekend. Accept every offer and get a $4 bonus for every completed delivery during the dinner rush. I’ve learned that high acceptance rate = low profit and lots of miles, especially with Grubhub. But four bucks a delivery extra? At two deliveries per hour, that’s an …
Almost a month after news broke that Uber Eats and Grubhub had been negotiating a takeover deal, a deal has been reached. Grubhub will now be owned by Uber Eats, ummm, Just Eat Takeaway. Wait, what? Who is that? What will this mean for Grubhub contractors? How will things change? What do we know about …
News broke within the past hour that Uber Eats is negotiating a take over of Grubhub. (As I write this it’s about 10 AM MST). There aren’t many details right now. I’m not sure there are any details, to be honest. Sources have confirmed to several news outlets that talks are taking place, and that …
Is Grubhub improving how you get orders? They sent out an email to their drivers promising that they are. If you’ve been delivering for Grubhub long enough this may remind you of another email where they promised “we’re improving how you…” Early last year, they promised to improve how we are paid and ended up …
Or Influenza or any other health crisis Does the Grubhub attendance policy have the potential to help spread infectious diseases such as Covid-19 (Cornonavirus)? With the growth of the gig economy, there is already a concern related to whether people who rely heavily on independent contractor income can afford to take time off. Luke McGee …
Grubhub has fired their latest shot in their battle against order rejection. Drivers are posting that they have received emails notifying them they were suspended for 30 days for accepting too few orders. Is this legal? Is it justified? Should we be concerned about this? Should we change how we do our work with Grubhub?
Grubhub has been making the rounds lately, promising increased pay for drivers during busy periods. The question is, are they fulfilling those promises? In my experience, no. Or did they just structure their “promises” so that that when they don’t come through, they can say they didn’t really promise it in the first place?
When Grubhub rolled out their new pay model, they stated that the delivery fee would be determined “based on time and mileage, in addition to the full tip from the diner.” It’s pretty clear they lied. There’s something else going into the calculation of earnings on most deliveries. The pattern is pretty clear and it’s …
As part of the Deliver On Your Business Podcast, we are looking at the four leading delivery companies and examining some of the pros and cons of working with each. This week, we’ll get a look at Grubhub. For the longest time, Grubhub was king of the mountain. It was only earlier this year that …
How much can you earn with Grubhub? You may have seen ads that touted you could make up to $20, or maybe even $25 per hour. For a lot of people, that seems too good to be true. Is it possible? Yes. My average with Grubhub is higher than that. Is it probable? There’s no …
If you are a Grubhub drivers in one of the markets where a new pay model rolled out this week, you will soon find that maybe the most significant change is in how Grubhub pays on multiple orders. It was a change that they buried deep in their email, and not a lot of people …
