Uber Eats is trying something new: Showing the total amount, including expected tip, when they offer deliveries. They rolled it out in my market. What was it like taking offers now that I know the total amount that a delivery will pay?
Uber Eats showing total amount INCLUDING tip up front? Will they? Should they? Brian from the UDM Youtube channel has commented a couple times that my market always seems to get the first look at changes that these gig delivery companies roll out. It looks like he got the scoop on this one. (Around the …
News broke last week that Uber and Postmates were negotiating a take over. This morning, Uber and Postmates announced that a deal had been reached.

Uber is back in the food delivery mergers and acquisitions rumor mill. This time they are negotiating a take over of Postmates. Several weeks ago, Uber and Grubhub were in talks about a possible takeover. I had the feeling that a deal would be done, but wasn’t sure that it could pass regulatory approval. It …
Uber Eats has made a lot of improvements that help us with accepting and rejecting offers, but we still don’t know the total amount that we will earn. How do you know whether an order is worth taking or not? Uber Eats is different than Grubhub and Doordash. With Grubhub, you know what you will …
Is it possible to earn as much when Uber Eats is your primary source of income as it was when I was relying more heavily on Grubhub? This is the thing that I set out to discover this past week. I’ve tried it for a part of a week, but how would it go for …
I made the decision. I’m going all in. Okay, for a week anyway. A couple weeks ago I wrote about the great Grubhub free Uber Eats experiment where a few days I focused on Uber Eats. It was a sort of forced experiment because I didn’t get to the schedule in time, and it was …
The new Uber Eats pay model has hit my market finally, and I’d like to talk about what I have seen so far. Bottom line is that no matter how you spin it, it’s a reduction in pay. That shouldn’t come as a surprise. But that said, I may be more likely to turn on …

My experience is that tipping …
When you are thinking about delivering for different delivery apps, you will be asking yourself, does Uber Eats pay enough? Is there enough potential to make decent profits as an independent contractor working exclusively or primarily on Uber Eats deliveries? I can’t answer that. Every person is different, every situation is different and every market …
Customer service can have very positive and direct rewards towards your bottom line in one area: Tipping. This is especially true with Postmates and Uber Eats. I know a lot of people don’t like delivering these two platofrms primarily because the tipping doesn’t seem to keep up with that on Grubhub and Doordash. I actually …
My first experience delivering in the gig economy was with Uber Eats. It was February. It didn’t take long before the first snow, and I figured tips would be pretty good, right? You know, you’d expect peope were more thankful that they didn’t have to go out. They’d respect that we were willing to put …
For me, it was always hot or cold with Uber Eats. I would either do a pretty regular number of UE deliveries, or would barely touch them. That may have changed. Understanding Uber Eats and Promotions I will start off by saying that when it comes to the money we actually receive from the delivery …
