12 Tips and Tricks for Uber Eats Drivers: Maximize Earnings and Minimize Hassle

the customer did not necessarily increase their tip it's just that ubereats decided to hide the tip so keep that in mind ubereats might seem like a really daunting company to work with but it really isn't I feel like ubereats is one of the companies that's a lot more flexible when it comes to scheduling starting accepting declining so in this video I'm going to give you some tips and tricks that I wish I knew before I started with ubereats hopefully they can help you to become the most profitable business out there with ubereats let me know in the comments do you drive with ubereat full-time or part-time or do you not drive with ubereats and you're just looking for information let me know in the comments and make sure you stay until the end because I'm going to give you information that applies to all these gig delivery platforms not just with ubereats acceptance rate does not matter with ubereats this is one of the companies that has so many offers depending on your Market obviously that you can decline so many my percentage with ubereats is now at eight percent I believe it's dropped down to four to six to twenty to twelve it fluctuates so many different ways because ubereats is just very very busy and you can easily decline the orders on ubereats and not have any repercussions or not fear that they're going to deactivate you when I looked into the terms of service when it came to ubereats there was one thing that I thought was actually really interesting so the fact that you can accept an order and let's say something happens between the time that you accept it and the time that you go to pick it up you can cancel this order without having any repercussions now it says in the terms of service that they understand that situations might happen where you have to cancel your order before you actually pick it up now this is something that with all of the other apps you don't see that and this is one thing that I love with ubereats because it's true if you accept an order because I've done this before it's I don't do it often and I wouldn't suggest that you do it often but it's definitely happened where I've accepted the order and then let's say something else comes in from another app that's a lot better or I get to the restaurant and the wait is ridiculously long I just cancel the order and go on to the next one Uber Eats is notorious for sending you an order while you're in the process of completing another order especially when you're looking for the customer's address within like a minute or two that's when they tend to send you new orders all over again you can stop this from happening let's say it's a hazard for you while you're driving or you don't want to accidentally accept an order because that's happened as well so what you can do while you're on that order is you can go and you can stop new requests from coming in and that way you can complete your order that's going to set you as offline and then once you take your picture or hand it over to your customer you can go right back online I love that there is absolutely no schedule when it comes to ubereats you go on you start you go off you're done that is it that is all so far if you've been getting some value from any of the tips that I'm giving you please don't forget to subscribe to the channel and like this video if you want to see more tips and tricks this will be very helpful to me to know that at least I'm providing you some information that is helpful for you and your business one thing to keep in mind with ubereats is that the customer can increase or decrease your tip up to an hour after delivery now this is something that could be pretty tricky yes it's great if you provide excellent service and your customer says that they'll increase your tip they can do it very easily in the app but you can also have situations where customers might tip you really high because they want their order to come to them and then they can completely remove their tip or reduce their tip so you need to be careful when it comes to tipping with ubereats you get it an hour after and the customer can increase or decrease their tips keep that in mind while we're speaking about tips it's important to know that ubereats also hides tips similar to doordash with ubereats anytime that a customer tips over eight dollars you won't see the amount that they tip above the eight dollars so let's say if your base pay is three dollars and the order comes in at 11 because it's very close by what you're going to see is 11 now once you complete this order that's when you will see an hour later that the customer has increased their tip and you will see let's say 12 or 13 or 14 or whatever dollars customer did not necessarily increase their tip it's just that ubereats decided to hide the tip so keep that in mind if you see eleven dollars that is a good indication that there is a hidden tip on that order on the offer screen for ubereats you cannot see the customer's exact address you'll see their cross street at the bottom of the offer screen one thing you can do is you can zoom in however keep in mind that the ubereats timer is actually really really fast so you want to zoom in really quickly to see where exactly is this customer located is it going into an area that you want to go to or that you don't want to go to and then you can see with the cross street which cross street is this customer located in if that's a lot more helpful the tips and tricks that I'm going to give you right now are going to cover all of these gig apps number one we are independent contractors that means that we do not work for these companies we work with these companies this is why you need to make sure that these companies are providing you with offers that satisfy your business requirements so if the dollars per kilometer or dollars per mile is not satisfactory do not accept it if it's bringing you in a bad area do not accept it if you don't want to deal with that restaurant do not accept it you get to decide since this is a business you want to make sure that you're keeping track of all of the expenses that you incurred during the operation of your business so that you can claim all of the tax write-offs at the end of the year if you don't know what you're doing consult with a CPA but I would highly suggest that you look into this either yourself or with a CPA to figure out what exactly are the tax advantages of owning a business and what can you claim as a tax write-off get to know your territory we're the restaurants where you're going to wait long where are the restaurants where the food is always ready this would be really good information to know because then you will be better prepared to make really good financial decisions for your business I highly suggest downloading the customer side of the app there are a few reasons for this number one you can see if there are any restaurants that are provided promos because if there's a promo at a specific restaurant then you know that that restaurant might be a little bit busier than they normally are another thing for that is that you would now know which restaurant is partnered with which app now this is something that you might think is kind of like okay yeah I'm gonna go to a restaurant that I figure is with that app but not all restaurants are linked with a specific app so this is why it's really good to download the customer side of the application because you can see first of all who do they deal with and then you can see what promos that they have what times do they close what times do they open and all of this can help you make the best decision for your business one very big tip that I can give you is do not rely on just one app you do not want to put all of your eggs in one basket just like you shouldn't have just one source of income you should always try to diversify your sources of income so the same thing goes with all of these apps do not just rely on one because they can deactivate you very easily and then you have no recourses you don't want to get deactivated or something happened to your account and then you have no other way to bring in any income to your household so sign up with all of the apps that are possible that doesn't necessarily mean drive with all of them at one time but at least sign up with them just in case you need to pull them out of your back pocket now that you have all these tips and tricks with ubereats you might be wondering okay but what does it actually look like to complete an order well you're going to want to check out this video here because this is where I'm going to show you from beginning to end how to complete an ubereats order don't forget to like this video
