Pros
After working for Deliveroo for a year I don’t know why I didn’t switch to Uber Eats sooner. There are many positives working with Uber Eats they pay above £4 a drop compared to Deliveroo’s £3.75 a drop. Distances as a cyclist are never more than 10 mins away from restaurants even as short as 5 mins, minimal waiting times in restaurants. Uber pay weekly and I can earn anything up to £350 a week for doing half a days work, you can log in when you want and log out when you want unlike Deliveroo if you don’t move for a few mins if you needed to take a small break between orders you would get penalised Deliveroo treats you like a slave Uber care about their riders and encourage you to ride for no more than 10 hours a day. I can start at 7am and be home by midday and even have a day off at the weekend without worrying about having it affect my statistics as Deliveroo want you to work 24/7 for them and in order to get decent hours each week you needed to work all the hours to get priority 11am bookings. I would highly recommend working for Uber Eats it’s easy money and very professional. They give you real correspondence to any issue you are having by giving you proper email responses. Uber Eats wins Deliveroo fails.
Kontras
Only negatives are McDonald’s ridiculous plastic cup system where they secure drinks and coffees in paper bags and it is almost impossible to get them to the customer intact! I have found that I have needed to request a paper bag with a handle on it in order to keep the drinks intact for the duration of the trips. Also in Romford there is a overflow of riders and sometimes you can be sat around 1-2 hours without an order.
