One of the things i dislike about stacks is when the late order is closer. I want to get the food to the person ordering food first and I want it there hot. Besides stacks never pay much. Dont want to work for $5. I decline those immediately.

I’m getting more from tips than uber pays

[MicDropBBQ]

I get more tips on Uber Eats by messaging the person this statement: "Due to Covid, pease leave any cash tip under the doormat."

This person was probably not gonna leave a tip. But now seeing that a tip is an important "expectation" for great service, they will do one or two things: 1) message you back saying THANKS and they leave a tip, or 2) messaging you back that they will tip thru the app.

Either way, it gets the person thinking of leaving a tip. Works for me all the time!

Thank you for this video! This is gonna help me out quite a bit. Never thought about some of these

[bhumphries]

You have given this all some serious thought! Appreciate the tips! Thank you very much!

Google maps has the feature of adding favorites/saved locations. On Android at least.

I'm about to start my Uber Eats journey this weekend. I found your videos very helpful. You've got this down to a science! Thank you 👍

[JallenBlue]

Nice video man. Very Informative, I just started working last weekend and love it!

[joeevers]

I get stacked trips. I didn't know I can decline. If I'm driving I might not see it. Then it's there.
And thanks for the well-made video..godspeed!

I take stacked while I multi-app. Had a few great experiences and my dollar per hour was well over $30. Rather have a delivery in line going in the same direction/area then waiting for a ping to come through.

[alexhamatsu]

Really good tips! Thanks for making this video!

Great info for a newbie. I’ve been doing ubereats for over 5 years. There’s a few things you mentioned that I would do differently and in my opinion is more profitable, but over all good advice! thanks for sharing!

I'm not bragging but I like Uber Eats best independent contractor job out there.

This is a very well done and extremely informative lecture. Clear, concise, and expertly delivered. I don't know if you have any teaching experience but you would make an excellent professor. I don't do food deliveries just people and package deliveries. Also I've been uber-ing for 5 years. However, and though I do very well, you have still given me some food for thought. Thank you

What do you do when you're online and uber just isn't sending you request, but yet there are plenty of orders being put out.

Does anyone have the ALFI advertising tablet in their cars? I was wondering if anyone can tell me who advertises on the tablets currently? Any info will help and I appreciate the reply

I had a situation the other day where I took a stacked order and the first order messaged me after I accepted the second order and I couldn't message her back until I picked up the second order. Uber needs to fix this.

I did not know that sitting in front of a restaurant is not the right thing to do. Thanks for the tip

[sweetiepie]

Will you explain tip #3 a little more in detail?

[CamilleGG]

#8, are you serious??! Woah. OMG I'm going to try this tonight. So I've been sitting in restaurant parking lots all this time... ugh 🙄 I'm not sure I understand what you meant though about the pinging area starting from farther away. Why do they begin from farther vs drivers that are right there? You'd think that would save time getting with the order to the customer which would be in ubereats best interest ?
