Uber Eats Driver Tips & Tricks (2023)

driving for ubereats in 2023 is a very popular side Hustle but you need to know these tips and tricks to really maximize your income number one I always say this so I want to say it quickly here that it's very powerful on Uber and ubereats that you can stack bonuses unlike other apps so you can stack surge pay when it gets busy based on supply and demand you can stack Quest bonuses which are bashed bonuses and you can also get boost or Boost Plus pay which is scheduled per trip bonus pay number two now this one is updated for 2023 so pay attention to this now recently we just saw doordash changing their order request screen for drivers now not including the expected customer tip so I want you to leverage ubereats and consequently Uber that do show you the expected customer tip so look here we have the expected pay if you as a driver and and that expected customer tip as well and just thought about this wanted to mention it for you that it's very easy for customers to add a tip after the fact as well which can help and they can do that much easier than other apps so as an example let's just assume you're driving for doordash as a Dasher then on that new screen yes you see the pay but not the expected customer tip versus on ubereats not only can you get that stackable bonuses hopefully you're driving during a busy time that has bonus pay but you for sure can really calculate a good dollars to mile ratio how much am I getting paid for the miles driven because you can actually see what you're going to make on that number three understanding and using the market share of ubereats so look at this chart here so this data from May 2022 says that doordash has a 59 market share pretty strong but ubereats has a 24 market share but I also want you to understand you can really leverage ubereats in certain marketplaces look at this chart here so certain cities ubereats is more popular than other cities so you really want to try to get a feel for your city how busy are you when you drive for Uber rates and you can measure that by how long are you waiting in between orders how frequent is the surge the Boost Boost Plus pay or any Quest bonuses so I don't want you to give up on ubereats just because they have a lower market share number four and it's surprising for how long I've been doing Uber and ubereats that I really haven't looked into this at least in some time and this is very important for you to understand it's how you're actually paid as a driver so look here directly from ubereats website of how delivery fares are calculated your fare is calculated with base pay plus a trip supplements plus promotions plus tips equals your total so okay base fare includes your pay for pick up drop off time and distance okay now trip supplement this is unique to ubereats and it's I mean admittedly pretty confusing even for someone who's done this for years listen to this trip supplements added to make every delivery worthwhile a trip supplement payments it takes into account many factors to make sure trip earnings are reflective of that trip such as when we notice the total time and distance including your travel time to the restaurants is longer than expected so I just grabbed a random order here in my earnings tab you can see the same thing when you go into earnings you can click on certain deliveries to see an entire breakdown so you can see here I earned 22.25 it took 33 minutes for 4.8 miles a very good dollars to mile ratio now you can scroll down as a driver to see specific breakdowns of a fare so look at this the fare here is a base that we saw two dollars and 21 cents in this case a trip supplement of one dollar and 79 cents and that surge again the bonus pay 4 4.25 and a stellar tip this was a stacked order so actually two customers made up this tip here fourteen dollars very good but yeah in doing my research on ubereats trip supplements again per ubereats they say well it's to make the trip worthwhile if it takes longer or if there's just other factors we'll give you more money for it how much and then I mean even base pay how much is base pay how much is the per mile the per time pay number five is actually several things that are pretty important but I just want you to do these little things so what we've said here on the channel for years number one the profile screen hack other apps don't have this it's just why I deliver put some in there usually an emotional appeal please keep it honest a real you know emotional appeal of why you're delivering because you can see here your customers will see this on your profile and I remember when I drove just you know right along here with my brother Matt that he had multiple customers give him a twenty dollar tip up on the same shift because he was saving up for an engagement ring next to turn on Uber connect which is package delivery turn on Uber direct which is business to customer deliveries now I've never really had Uber direct but your Market might comment down below if you've gotten Uber direct next to turn on alcohol deliveries if you're comfortable I'll say that I've done alcohol deliveries when I was doing this in San Diego because they actually had liquor deliveries which we can't do here in Pittsburgh only malt beverage and I think wine certainly beer but I did more much more alcohol deliveries in San Diego and again turn that on for even more opportunities again if you're comfortable with that you can of course turn on shop and pay which I don't have on because I'm not a big fan of going into a convenience store or a store shopping using your Uber card checking out is there a line are there substitutions but you can turn it on for more opportunities and this next one's actually buried a little bit deeper here I would turn this on it's earnings opportunities demand info per promotions from Uber and additional ways to earn to your notifications as you can see here just make sure that's turned on you're going to want to know about that and then number six especially if you're new you have to understand the basics like don't just go online and accept everything I've seen it when friends have driven for these apps that they will send you basically everything and you don't really know what to expect I would have a minimum order of ideally six or seven dollars just you know your pay with the customer tip there obviously you know the higher the better the mileage pay a dollar seventy five paid up per mile that's our Channel goal and aiming for 25 dollars per hour now if you're hitting those metrics
