How many of you had heard of postmates, uber eats and doordash? I recently applied from my phone and finally recieved this bag so that i can do deliveries and they also sent me a card that i will get paid on. These services are easy to apply for and you can deliver with your car, on a bike and even walking. These deliver from places that usually don't offer delivery like mc Donald's. Is this available in other countries? Anyways i plan to do this on weekends. So i will be delivering to people from places that are fast food and i even heard that these kind of services are taking over and restaurants that have delivery guy's are not needed anymore. You log in through your phone and get deliveries. It's very simple.

Yeah and even in Pakistan we have foodpanda and bykea and some other that do offer delivery to places where normally resturants themselves wouldn't....but I can't apply to them as they don't seem to pay per hour

I think you earn by every deliver you do.

All of US has all three. We have used door dash and had no issues. Depending on which one you use people get better discounts but over all we save money by just doing self pick up. We used door dash last year when I had the flu so my husband cooked for the kids and then order for us.

It can be very useful for certain cases like they one you just explained. I will do it 2 days a week and see how it works out.

I have heard of postmates but not sure they are around this area but we do have uber eats, grubhub and doordash in this area. I have never driven for any of these, well I did do Uber driving people around for about a month and did not like it. I have been a pizza delivery person for a number of places over the years and it was always good money for what you're doing. Best of luck to you hope it works out well for you.

I haven’t had good experiences receiving orders through these apps. Often something is missing and I’m left to wonder, did the restaurant forget my item or did the driver keep it.. lol

@Ladanger last time I ordered a strawberry lemonade with my meal from chili’s and the driver sent her son upstairs with my food. But recently when Popeyes had their chicken sandwich debacle apparently there was a driver who kept the person’s sandwich and ignored their calls lmao

It hasn't been out for that long. Maybe only in some places it is being used.

Uber eats i know for sure is very popular. I guess more services are being created and become a competition to eachother.
