It’s hard to get Deliveroo shifts now there is too many drivers it’s shit now I can not get the shifts that I really want anymore 😴

I hate restaurants which make riders wait outside even when it is freezing cold.

Agree completely with the reasons you say about the cons. Inconsistently the shifts vary so much, I started in November last year doing about 12-15 hrs a week usually 10-12 hr but recently they have over hired more do with car riders making it a joke to get the shifts you want, 2 orders an hour just doesn’t cut it not worth it at all. The best shifts as soon as you complete an order another one appears and you just keep on going. Add to that the inconsistency of wait times and that’s another factor to slow you down. If you want some extra cash to save up for something then yeah if you get the shifts do it but longer term they want car drivers and loads of riders online because they don’t pay an hourly wage. When it’s good it’s good but there’s no happy medium particularly on weekdays.

I've been watching a few videos on your channel and honestly.. I think your talents in filming, editing is better than being wasted in Deliveroo job.

I've started doing this last year in Liverpool city center and I agreed with there are too many riders. they're taking on. It's almost impossible to book a session without checking your phone every 5mins.

Which is why it's better to work on multiple platforms like UberEats and Stuart (JustEat).

I'm a final year student at uni and this kind of job is perfect for students for quick cash xD..

Anyway, keep up with filming things! :D I'll give you a subscribe ;)

You are right it's good for a bit of extra money and I do everything in my power to stay safe but when your riding a bike you are going to fall off occasionally :)

They need to pay wages for going and waiting at the restaurant as this is for delivery. I've been sent to 4 closed ones and some take 20 minutes to make order

All I would say a job for experienced, confident and fit cyclists only. Plus bare in mind all the money required to invest in equipment and clothing.

trust me I got knocked off and thought fuck this and left over 7 months now

[battle]

I actually always get my shifts and i earn 3 times above min wage i guess it depends on the place also in my country cycling is really save

[MxD]

It's ridiculously dangerous (incredible dangerous), I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and you average out minimum wage.

In my opinion it's good when your in university for some money

I applied to drive for them in central London. They said they'll email when they have assessment days. Like how long is this going to take

Just FYI, cars have brakes and a steering wheel so chances are they would’ve stopped and steered away from you. Obviously you don’t drive so it’s understandable you don’t see it from a drivers point of view. P.S cyclists piss off every road user. Love ya xoxo
