Uber announced a 10-year partnership with a company called Nuro that’s set to start this fall. Nuro is renowned for developing autonomous electric vehicles without space for people that can transport goods like groceries or pizza down the road. In this Slogging thread, our community discussed the usefulness of Uber eats(food) getting delivered by robots. This Slogging thread by Valentine Enedah, GemInRubbles, Sara Pinto and Mónica Freitas occurred in slogging's official #technology channel, and has been edited for readability. Valentine Enedah Oct 14, 2022, 10:34 AM Our Uber Eats orders would soon start getting delivered by robots! https://www.popsci.com/technology/uber-eats-nuro-food-delivery-deal/ Valentine Enedah Oct 14, 2022, 10:39 AM This recently unveiled vehicle (bot) can move nearly 500 pounds of cargo while maintaining the appropriate temperature. In order to hopefully cause as little damage as possible should it ever inadvertently run into someone, it even has an airbag on the exterior of its front end. However, the date Nuro would start functioning is still unknown but the prospect of this collaboration is amazing. Food delivery via bot doesn’t always come easily. About Nuro Valentine Enedah Oct 14, 2022, 10:45 AM Do you think this is quite useful for the ecosystem? Would you love to subscribe to their services? Do you also think this will be applicable in Africa? GemInRubbles Oct 14, 2022, 11:03 AM This is actually awesome. Let's look at it from the angle of its advantage whereby there is this high level of confidence that your order will arrive in good condition. I have had a run with a food delivery company where my order came all messed up and I had to reject it.  Plus the fact that it can carry at much of 500 pounds of Cargo. Looking at the cons, I see these bot replacing humans and therefore leaving some people out of work plus I am curious, if there is a delay in your order, do you have access to reaching this bot? All in all it is superb, innovation at it core and continuous leverage of technology and I will certainly love to try it out.  In the long run, it can be applicable to Africa but it will certainly take a while. At least it will even help in eradicating the issues of delivery people not delivering efficient services as customers will like. 💚 1 Sara Pinto Oct 14, 2022, 11:14 AM Valentine Enedah, I would love to try it! It's very curious. However, I don't think it's that viable, at least, where I'm from. Would Nuro go through the usual roads to reach its destination? We got Uber Eats somewhat recently, in my zone. Since it's not really a city, the food usually comes from the nearest one, and it's still a bit of a ride. So, a robot doing a 15 minute ride in the middle of other cars, speeding, and whatnot, doesn't seem great. Plus, unattended food going around is kind of a recipe for disaster. If Nuro dislocates through the usual roads when in a big city, it also doesn't seem safe since there's way more traffic and confusion in the surroundings. 💚 1 Mónica Freitas Oct 14, 2022, 12:20 PM If uber eats ever gets to deliver in my zip code area, I'd love to have a bot delivering. Thought, driving is hard as it is: people make mistakes, there are accidents. Not sure how a robot would be able to respond to those variables 💚 1 Valentine Enedah Oct 14, 2022, 1:56 PM GemInRubbles Amazing! I love your thought process. Concerning contacting the bot if there is a delay, I suppose there would be an option for that. It will actually make things easy. Do you think Nuro could work in Lagos, Nigeria? Valentine Enedah Oct 14, 2022, 1:59 PM Sara Pinto, You have a great point about its functionalities. There are still a lot of issues with autonomous vehicles navigating areas that are not so urban. This could be a big limitation to its functionalities. There would be so many bugs! In third-world countries, I feel these bots are even more risks. Imagine people attacking these bots to take food from them. It's a horrific situation for both the country and the company. Valentine Enedah Oct 14, 2022, 2:03 PM Mónica Freitas Yeah, this is a valid fact cause we still tend to have so many incidents that occur on the road and I think the only way is to improve the road awareness of these bots and also probably stop humans from driving😅 Humans are bound to make mistakes. Mónica Freitas Oct 15, 2022, 3:23 PM Valentine Enedah do you think we should be dependant on robots to drive us around? And what would you do with people that actually enjoy driving? Give them a special playground for that? 💚 1 Valentine Enedah Oct 15, 2022, 4:24 PM Mónica Freitas Well,I feel like there could be restrictions for places that have a lot of trucks passing. These places are very susceptible to Accidents due to these large vehicles. They can drive at places that these large vehicles are scarcely seen. Like something,Elon Musk created the boring company. This involves creating underground tunnels that these trucks could pass through. It reduces the rates of accidents. GemInRubbles Oct 15, 2022, 6:03 PM Valentine Enedah Looking at Lagos and it’s inhabitant, it is an idea that the people will buy into. But there are some limiting factors such as the bad roads, the high rate of traffic that might hinder the efficiency of the bot. Valentine Enedah Oct 15, 2022, 8:19 PM GemInRubbles I totally agree! There are so many factors that might affect its efficiency in Lagos. Congested place 😂 Mónica Freitas Oct 17, 2022, 10:03 AM Valentine Enedah Musk's initiative, from what I've read, was to have tesla exclusive tunnels where the city traffic would happen. Unfortunately, his idea doesn't cover the separation of commercial transportation from civil cars. I wish it was that altruistic. But it'd be a great idea if it were Valentine Enedah Oct 17, 2022, 3:47 PM Mónica Freitas Musk is unpredictable. Let's hope he thinks the right way. Mónica Freitas Oct 19, 2022, 4:51 PM Valentine Enedah don't get your hopes up. Unless the government puts up barriers or conditions to his initiatives, then he'll run whole cities traffic on Teslas - I'm on board for electric cars, just not Tesla monopoly Valentine Enedah Oct 20, 2022, 8:17 AM Mónica Freitas I feel Tesla's Monopoly is inevitable. Tesla already has the highest share in the electric cars manufacturing markets and plus some other companies use their car parts even in their vehicles. Mónica Freitas Oct 31, 2022, 4:03 PM Valentine Enedah I believe that for the time being he has the upper hand. But over time other companies will try to recreate his technology. It'll be cheaper to manufacture your own tech than always ordering from Tesla. Valentine Enedah Oct 31, 2022, 5:32 PM Essentially, Nuro's autonomous vehicles are designed for the masses﻿. It will be a project that will be mind-blowing.

Our Uber Eats orders would soon start getting delivered by robots!

Platforms like UberEats and Deliveroo have highly impacted the food industry. It has brought restaurants and cafes closer to customers, and it helped create more job posts and businesses. It has also pushed restaurants and small food businesses to better adapt to today's demand. In this thread, the slogging community discusses their thoughts on food delivery services, their impact on the food industry, and the main perks and drawbacks of this trade. This Slogging thread by Mónica Freitas, Jack Boreham, Rohan Dominic, Favour Amadi, Sara Pinto, Limarc Ambalina, and Amy Shah occurred in slogging's official #technology channel, and has been edited for readability. Mónica Freitas Nov 10, 2021, 6:00 PM Platforms like UberEats, Deliveroo and others, have highly impacted the food industry. It has brought restaurants and cafes closer to customers. It has also pushed restaurants and small food businesses to better adapt to today's demand. Do you think these platforms represent a way to level the plane between big food chains and small restaurants? Jack Boreham Nov 13, 2021, 2:56 PM I definitely think so. A lot of small businesses in the UK have managed to survive during covid due to these delivery services. Here, if you fail to go digital, you go bust. Along our high streets, the ones that survive have an online presence. What we do have to watch out for, though, is worker protection in these industries. Workers are often underpaid, mistreated and lack essential protection from delivery companies. Mónica Freitas Nov 15, 2021, 3:56 PM Jack Boreham, just took a look at the significant risks happening with food delivery. It appears that there is a considerable amount of crime on delivery drivers: Data shows that being a food deliverer is one of the most dangerous jobs and is likely to produce victims of violence or theft. There are also some concerns with customer privacy and data, food safety and quality, tampering, and wage & labor issues (as you said). We never even think about the possibility of tampering with food. http://www.qsrweb.com/blogs/delivery-driver-crime-the-restaurant-industry-problem-nobody-talks-about/ http://www.wasserstrom.com/blog/2018/10/12/food-delivery-risks/ There are even news on organised crime gangs using food delivery services to deal drugs across Australia: http://www.news.com.au/national/crime/organised-crime-gangs-used-food-delivery-services-to-deal-drugs-across-australia/news-story/3963b1255c03855f719f22fd745a8538 Mónica Freitas Nov 15, 2021, 3:59 PM Jack Boreham, Limarc Ambalina, Rohan Dominic, petar.btc, Linh Smooke, Amy Shah: Have you ever experienced or heard about an unusual story with food delivery services involving tampering or crime? Something that caught your attention or made you lose trust in such services. Rohan Dominic Nov 15, 2021, 4:44 PM Mónica Freitas, Yes! I have heard about the Zomato (India's largest food delivery company) delivery guy eating food meant for delivery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Spa7wUHoJeA Mónica Freitas Nov 16, 2021, 2:43 PM Rohan Dominic, WOW, caught in the act 😂 Does that make you lose trust in delivery services? And how do you think these services have impacted the food industry in your hometown and country? Rohan Dominic Nov 16, 2021, 5:18 PM Not really. I still use their service. I don't think it had any effect on the food industry as such because such things are relatively rare. Mónica Freitas Nov 22, 2021, 6:39 PM Rohan Dominic, is there something that would throw you off using food delivery services? Favour Amadi Nov 23, 2021, 2:21 PM I've heard stories of delivery drivers eating from the food. I think what will throw me off, Mónica Freitas, will be ineffective packaging and if my food is pilfered. Mónica Freitas Nov 23, 2021, 2:45 PM Favour Amadi, I get it! You'd always be distrusting of that service in the future. However, it does happen. There's a lot of crime against food deliverers. Sara Pinto Nov 23, 2021, 8:11 PM Mónica Freitas, these platforms increased the luxury that's receiving good food at your home without any struggle, this absolutely elevated the small restaurants. Regarding the general welfare of these workers, I don't think they have enough protection, as Jack Boreham said. They are expected to work through all kinds of weather and even deal with unpolite people. I understand that these workers may also do some uncivil actions, but don't you think that it might be an outcome of the poor conditions? Mónica Freitas Nov 24, 2021, 12:32 PM Sara Pinto, I agree that it has made it simpler to have food delivered, and it helped small businesses that didn't have the means to have this service to expand. As for the misconduct, I'm not sure we should justify some breaches with the lack of work conditions/protection. Of course, it can affect morale, and some workers may see such actions as harmless. Nevertheless, it violates the agreements between the customer and the delivery company, and even the restaurant. It can cause a loss of trust, especially when the issue is food tampering and food safety. This is to say, I agree that work conditions should be improved, and there should be more robust protection and insurances for delivery professionals, but "food ethics" shouldn't be at stake. Sara Pinto Nov 25, 2021, 5:47 PM Mónica Freitas, yes, the behavior can't be justified (in the sense of absolving the situation), but I think it can be explained by those factors. On the other hand, I agree with the loss of trust. In the end, the ones who are paying for the service, even though sometimes the customers can be obnoxious,  become the victims. As you said, we can't forget that it may be our health that is at risk. Mónica Freitas Nov 26, 2021, 3:30 PM Sara Pinto, it's a tricky subject, no doubt. Let hope we see improvements in work conditions for these professionals while keeping the quality and safety of the services. Limarc Ambalina Nov 30, 2021, 12:16 PM "Do you think these platforms represent a way to level the plane between big food chains and small restaurants?" - Yes most definitely. In my hometown of Winnipeg, Canada, when I was a kid, you could only get deliveries from pizza places, some Chinese restaurants. But now almost every place in the entire city delivers via Uber Eats. 🔥 1 Limarc Ambalina Nov 30, 2021, 12:18 PM Also, it makes it easier for me to support local. I'd rather get a burger from a local mom-and-pop shop, but if I don't want to leave the house that day and the only burger place that does delivery is McDonald's or Wendy's then those would be my only choices. But now I can support local restaurants from the comfort of my home. Mónica Freitas Nov 30, 2021, 3:30 PM Limarc Ambalina, I agree with you. Because of these services, small businesses have a fair fight. One downside that I see in my hometown is the range of delivery. They won't go further than around 10km from the city center. This distance limit makes it lose its appeal for a city like my own, where most people live in the outskirts. Is there something that would make you lose trust in food delivery services? Amy Shah Nov 30, 2021, 7:14 PM Unfortunately, I don't know if the platforms level the playing field so much as respond to increasing customer demand. This push from customers to have this service is driving some innovation that could be beneficial or harmful - I think it goes either way. Mónica Freitas Dec 6, 2021, 2:34 PM Amy Shah hum...interesting. In which ways do you see this being harmful? Sara Pinto Dec 23, 2021, 7:18 PM Mónica Freitas, not sure if it's what Amy Shah was trying to say, but it may be harmful in a way that promotes a sedentary lifestyle. Plus, if the food is not exactly healthy, it will only aggravate. Mónica Freitas Dec 27, 2021, 2:42 PM Sara Pinto, oh, that's a great point. I guess that's just the way we're heading. We want comfort, and delivery services give us just that: we no longer have to face crowds and long queues and lose time coming and going from restaurants and stores. With Covid, this became even more important, so, despite the sedentary lifestyle it can make us fall into, it is also an incredible perk and, I believe, the new reality. Sara Pinto Dec 27, 2021, 3:27 PM Mónica Freitas, I have to agree. It gave us a lot of advantages, but like everything, it has to be well managed, so we can make the most of it, and it doesn't prejudice us. Mónica Freitas Dec 27, 2021, 3:33 PM Sara Pinto, well said.

The Dark Side of Food Delivery: Inside Uber Eats, Zomato, and Deliveroo

Food Delivery Apps - Adding A Dimension To Food-Consumption If we were to talk today about how we enjoy non-home food, food delivery apps is a bound term in that discussion. Food delivery has transcended from being an auxiliary service to becoming an essential service upon which a lot of restaurants count their business-volume and revenues. One in every five smartphones has at least one food delivery app installed - speaks a lot about the popularity and growing market for on-demand food delivery! Some Popular Names As soon as we talked about the ‘one food delivery app,’ there are a few names that would have hit everyone’s thoughts. UberEats, Grab, Deliveroo and GrubHub are some of them. There are a few country-specific players like Zomato, Go-Food/Go-Jek, and Swiggy that have carved their own niche in specific markets. The Big Numbers - The revenue from food delivery apps has already crossed the $107 billion mark in 2019. Revenue - At a CAGR of 9,9% between 2019 and 2023, the revenue is expected to cross $156 billion in 2023. Revenue Growth - The aggregator or the platform-to-consumer model leads the market, contributing to more than 50% of the 2019 revenue. Market Leader’s Volume Creating A Food Delivery App What seems like a few simple swipes for a user is a grand culmination of lot of technical and business-aspects for the app-creator. Creating a food delivery app is a delightfully daunting exercise that involves putting together a lot of components. The Essential Components 1. Restaurants For a food delivery app to function, it must have its network of restaurants. The restaurants need to sign up for your services, with the belief that your food delivery ecosystem will contribute to their revenues. 2. The Delivery Executives The small-yet-significant bridging between the restaurant and the user’s location has to happen through food delivery executives. These people are independent service providers, called ‘delivery partners’, who will pick-up the food from the restaurant and deliver it to users  through their own transport. The Users Needless to say, the users order the food from the restaurants, and pay for - the food, and sometimes, for the delivery service. . The users form the profit-center of the food delivery app ecosystem. The Technologies All the processes and the entities listed above can perform the desired tasks only if the required technologies fall in place. The technologies include GPS and mapping, assignment of delivery executives using algorithmic methods, payment gateway integration and a centralized review and rating system for the restaurants and executives. The Revenue-Channels There are different channels from which a food delivery app earns its revenue. It is only the diversity of these revenue channels that makes food delivery an enticing business opportunity. The revenue-inflow is assured in some way or the other. Restaurant Commissions The platform takes a cut from the restaurant’s profit, based on the number of orders. This can be treated as a commission given by the restaurant, as it was the platform that facilitated that particular order. The commission-per-order might be minimal, but it surely adds up to big numbers when volumes are considered. Delivery Charges In most cases, the delivery is free of charge. However, depending on the demand, the customers are charged a delivery fee. The fee might be flat or variable based on distance. The ‘demand’ does not only depend on the volume of the orders but even weather conditions - the delivery charge might be high during monsoon. Cancellation Charges When a customer cancels the order, a  cancellation fee is levied. The fee helps deter the instances of cancellation and booking of stray orders. It cannot be denied that a considerable amount of computing power has gone into booking the order! Restaurant Sponsorships Restaurants require exposure in the right platforms, and there’s no better platform  than a food delivery app. Restaurants can pay the food delivery app for sponsored promotions like banners and priority-listings for searches. This is a symbiotic system where both the platform and the restaurant can find monetary benefits. Premium Services On-demand apps have established that the users are willing to pay for value added services like priority delivery and premium memberships. The food delivery app can have services like ‘no delivery charges’ and ‘priority delivery’ or ‘assured delivery time or cashback’ which can be made available to customers at an extra cost. Subscriptions Some customers might not want just a one-off delivery but regular deliveries from restaurants. Such customers can be charged an upfront fee for food delivery for a certain stretch of time, like a week or a month or a quarter. This benefits the customers as they do not have to go through the hassle of ordering every time. It also helps the platforms, as the cost is paid upfront. The Working & The Features For the food delivery app to work, certain features need to be put in place. Every step involved is vital to the execution of the order in the most efficient way. Account Creation The account of the user needs to have all the essential details, and that should serve as a unique identifier for the user. The account should be able to accommodate multiple addresses, and also should keep a track of the history of the orders of  the user. These attributes will help create customized promotions, and also in quickly assigning delivery partners through smart and intelligent analytics. The account creation has to be made simple and easy for the user. The app can also consider giving the users an option to create an account using legacy credentials like Google and Facebook. Listing Of Restaurants The delivery of food can only happen when the restaurants sign up with your platform. Signing up with a restaurant is not just about enlisting, but about digitizing the menu, input proper prices for each item, and even assign the availability of each item. The restaurant should be provided an exclusive app that tracks all the orders placed with the restaurant, and also sets the availability of items. The restaurant-lists and menus need to be managed on a robust database, preferably on the cloud. This would ensure minimal downtime and quick contingencies. Ordering The user, upon opening the app, is shown a list of restaurants in the delivery-range. The user opens the menu, orders what they want, and can check out. In some cases, they can choose to pay on delivery or by using digital payment systems. The order request is sent to the restaurants and the delivery executives available in the area. The restaurant and the delivery executive accept the request for your food order. The assignment of the delivery executive is managed by complex algorithms. They take into consideration, various factors like the Payments The acceptance of an order is completely contingent upon the payment being fulfilled. The users are presented with a lot of choices to make the payment. The options include credit cards, debit cards, internet banking, wallets, and UPIs. In addition to that, especially in Asian and African markets, cash is also offered as a payment option. The payment can be facilitated by using the services of payment providers like BrainTree and PayPal. Since these payment facilitators have already done the task of tying up with banks, you do not have to spend your time setting up the payment channels. Delivery Tracking One of the greatest advantages presented by on-demand apps is the way through which you can track your order. The combination of the GPS and mapping tools brings you real-time tracking of the movement of the delivery executive. The mapping and navigation services offered by Google and Apple seamlessly integrate in the apps for Android and iOS, in that order. These services give an updated answer to constant customer-questions like ‘Where is my order?’ And ‘When will my order arrive?’ Updates Irrespective of the customer using the map interface on the app, they need to be updated on the progress. There are direct ways in which the customer can be updated, the most common of them being SMS and Push Notifications. SMS updates can be effective by tools like Twilio. The platforms provide apps an option to push notifications to the user. These notifications can also keep the customers updated about offers and promotions. Rating & Reviews The rating and review mechanism keeps the entire ecosystem of food delivery democratic. This helps the platform decide which restaurants serve better food. The rating also applies for the delivery partner - it is based on the experience they offer in terms of promptness and politeness. The Factors That Make The Experience Better It may seem that there’s not much to do to make the process of food-ordering better. However, a few simple additions are bound to increase the appeal of your app. Search & Filtering Let’s admit it! When we open a food ordering app, we’re mostly sure of at least the cuisine we’d want to enjoy! If there’s a filtering option, it makes the experience of ordering efficient. The sorting and filtering can also be extended to aspects like veg/non-veg, delivery time, ratings… and even the availability of a specific dish. Offers & Coupons Customers are quite likely to be hooked to your brand if you were to offer discount coupons, and food-delivery is not an exception. The offers can be directed towards incentivizing loyal customers, retaining long-lost customers and delighting new customers a white-label food delivery app. This saves you a lot of time and money.. Conclusion If the idea of a is simmering in your head, all you need to do to turn on the heat is to get in touch with our team of engineers! We will take care to not only cook it in terms of development and components, but also garnish it in terms of UI and branding. food-delivery app business Stay Tuned!

How To Create An App Better Than Uber Eats

How much do Uber Eats drivers make? Last month, Uber Eats made the when its car drivers claimed their salaries had been slashed. According to the findings of Transport Workers Union (Australia), Uber Eats has introduced certain changes to its mobile app that prefer its scooter riders and cyclists over its car drivers, causing car drivers to lose a big chunk of their income. Uber Eats responded that they haven’t changed drivers’ pay structure, but the company didn’t comment on whether or not their app really prefers the quicker delivery options. headlines Only a few days ago, Uber, the global ridesharing giant and Uber Eat’s parent company announced – a brand new initiative that will ensure its drivers and couriers get instant access to their fee after every trip. And that’s just one of the many privileges set to arrive in a package that also includes banking for underserved drivers, attractive cashback and more. Uber Money With so much going on and big changes expected at every corner, life can be at least a little confusing for an Uber Eats driver. If you’re interested in becoming one or are just curious about what it’s like driving for Uber Eats and how much a driver really makes, you’ve come to the right corner of the World Wide Web. Uber Eats – A quick introduction Uber Eats is an online food ordering platform launched by Uber in August 2014. The subsidiary has its headquarters in San Francisco, California and is one of Uber’s fastest-growing segments today. Uber Eats partners with restaurants and delivery agents for the preparation and delivery of food ordered through its website or mobile application. The company is currently operational in over 670 cities in 20 different countries. Its food delivery channels include cars, bikes, scooters and on foot, with delivery through drones planned to be launched early next year. Uber Eats currently competes with the likes of Grub Hub and Door Dash in the rapidly growing food delivery industry. In 2018, the company was reported to have delivered food worth over $6 billion. Current year’s sales are expected to comfortably cross $10 billion worldwide. Requirements for becoming an Uber Eats driver Uber Eats has a clear cut set of parameters for hiring ride-sharing specialists. A driver is expected to have a tidy and dependable vehicle along with a good track record behind the wheel to be eligible for a position with Uber Eats. Here are all the requirements he/she needs to fulfill - Individual’s requirements A person must be at least 19 years of age to become an Uber Eats driver. If you’re looking to deliver using a bike, the minimum required age is 18 years. You must have a valid driver’s license that’s been active for at least one year along with active vehicle registration and proof of active auto insurance. Uber Eats drivers should be physically capable of handling large boxes (weighing up to 30 pounds). Uber Eats runs a thorough background check and applicants with a past record of DUI (driving under the influence), sex offenses and felonies aren’t considered for a driver’s position with the company. Vehicle’s RequirementsUber Eats has a strict policy about the kind and quality of vehicles used for its deliveries. Take a look at these requirements. Vehicles older than the 2004 model aren’t allowed for Uber Eats deliveries. In addition, vehicles with obvious signs of rust, scratches, dents, political stickers or decals cannot be used for food delivery. Drivers can use a vehicle registered in another person’s name, but they must have their names on the vehicle’s active insurance policy. Scooters and bicycles to be used for food delivery should be in good condition. Scooters need to be insured with the driver’s name included in the insurance policy.Uber Eats Drivers’ earnings Uber Eats drivers get one pick up fee each time they go to a new food joint or restaurant and one drop off fee for every single order that they deliver. The drivers’ base pay per ride includes three components – pickup fee (for picking the food order from the food supplier), drop off fee (for dropping off the food order with the customer) and distance traveled fee (charged per mile of the distance covered). At present, the approximate pickup fee is $1.79, drop off fee is $1.41 and the fee for distance traveled per mile is $1.92. In addition, there’s the extra order fee - additional fee charged for multiple orders, and boost price fee charged when delivery times are the busiest. The minimum fare an Uber Eats driver receives is $4.47. Uber service fee varies with the type of vehicle - 30 percent for bicycles and 25 percent for both scooters and cars. Customer tips are another mode of earnings for Uber Eats drivers. Drivers can receive the tips at the time of the delivery or through the Uber Eats app after the delivery has been made. Uber Eats drivers’ weekly payment period starts 4 am on Monday and commences at 3:59 am on the following Monday. Drivers can access their payment statements through partner dashboard or through the link enclosed in the statement email they’re sent every Monday. Wrapping up Working as an Uber Eats driver gives you the freedom of choosing when and how long to work. You can pick your own hours and plan the duration of your working hours according to your earning goals. While work as an Uber Eats driver is typically considered a part-time job, there are plenty of drivers that work full time and make over $100 per shift. Additional perks of driving for Uber Eats include the provision for drivers to deduct their vehicle’s mileage and upkeep on the tax returns, mostly on partial basis. Also, drivers can cash out their accounts at any time of their choosing - a welcome change from waiting for the payday every month.

How much do Uber Eats drivers make?

I love delivery food. When launched in my hometown of Melbourne, Australia they were offering free delivery. It was fantastic. UberEATS But, one day the inevitable happened and the utopia of friction-less food delivery had vanished — Uber introduced delivery fees of $5. So, I wanted to see if I could get myself free delivery again. But this time I wasn’t going to take it for granted, I was going to earn it. That’s why I created — my ticket to free delivery for life (kind of). www.iloveubereats.com The idea is simple. I created a URL where I shared my unique referral code. I then claimed some free credit and ran some ads to my site directed at those looking to use Uber EATS for the first time (the only way my referral code works). advertising So, here’s how I did it Register a domain. Through the use of I scored a significant discount, marking it down from $13 to a $1.24 domain registration fee. Which, is all the money I spent on this project. If Honey doesn’t find you the right discount, you can also try . Honey Piggy 2. Create a website. If you can straight out make a website — then good for you. That’s all you need to do. I opted to use a website builder called (they have a 14 day free trial). You could also use , which is a bit cheaper after its 14 day trial. I then wrote a little story and placed my unique UberEATS code front and centre for anyone to use. Instapage Wix Oh, and of course, you need a testimonial: Yes, I wrote my own testimonial. 3. Register with Google AdWords for a starter-pack of $75 of free advertising coupons. All you need to do is Google “Google AdWords” and hit the first link. They should have the steps there to get your first $75 of Google AdWords money for free. This is for Australia only — other countries have different free credit values. Note: You can do the same thing on other platforms (e.g. Bing), I just got lazy and full. 4. Set up online search ads running in Australia for specific keywords. Whenever someone searches “uber eats coupon” or “uber eats code” or something similar there’s a little ad running on the side. It looks something like this (it’s the [Ad] you see at the top of the search results). I probably could have refined and tested my copy, but side projects be side projects for a reason. When you hit the link you get taken to and you find my unique referral code. www.iloveubereats.com So, how effective was it? Well, super effective. It cost me about of free advertising money to acquire each ‘customer’ or . However, I didn’t actually pay that money as it was free ad credit. All I paid was $1.24 for my domain. That means I had a return on investment. If we pretend that I actually paid for the ads, I would’ve still had a healthy . Even if these ads were paid I’d still be killing it. Speaking of which, I’ll be periodically turning the ads back on every time I need a bit more dough for delivery. 66 cents $10 voucher 80,545% 1,415% return on investment My site was viewed 373 times. I had over 4000 impressions of my ads with a click through rate of 9.29%. The whole thing took me less time to do than to write this article. That is about 3 hours of work. Behold my glorious remaining credit. What am I doing with all my credit? Well, each code only lasts for 3 months. So, just like any Melburnian would do, I’ve scheduled a soy flat white to arrive at my door every morning at 7.30am for the next three months. That would’ve been nice, hey? In reality I’ve just been stuffing my face with as many sandwiches and burgers as possible. And there you have it. I’ve never eaten so much delivery food in my life. If you want coupon codes for anywhere on the web check out or . Piggy Honey If you want to build a website just like mine check out . You can also use other website builders like . Instapage Wix If you’re thinking, “who is this guy?” — Well, I run a agency in Melbourne, Australia. I’d love for you to check it out at . marketing Hedgehog Agency If you’re thinking, “But, what about Deliveroo?” Don’t worry, is alive and kicking. I Love Deliveroo If you’re Uber and you’re thinking, “should we take away all his credit?” — Please, no, I really want it. , enjoy them! You now have 100 new UberEATS customers If you’re sitting there and thinking, “Can I do the same thing? But, I can’t be bothered setting it all up.” Shoot me an email at bergjosh(at)gmail.com — happy to help. Any questions? I’d love to chat in the comments. :)

I turned $1.24 into $1000 of UberEATS credit

How To Create An App Better Than UberEats

It’s important to start by mentioning that this isn’t my first university experience. Back in 2014, I enrolled in a Biological Sciences program. Attending college was a transformative experience that positively impacted my life. Although I didn’t complete the degree due to a move to another country, which made it impossible to continue remotely, I have no regrets about that choice. At the end of 2018, my wife and I moved to a new country. For a while, I worked in cafes, restaurants, and as a martial arts instructor. However, when the pandemic hit, I had to close my dojo, leaving me without a job. I started delivering food on a bicycle for Glovo (similar to Uber Eats). It was a financially challenging time with no clear prospects for professional growth. A few months later, a friend of my wife told me about a job opening at a cafe in a shopping mall, where I started working. While the job brought me financial stability, it was one of the most difficult periods of my life. I felt intellectually unstimulated, which caused me a great deal of discomfort. One day, while reading about Artificial Intelligence — a topic that had fascinated me since my university days — I thought, “Why not learn to code?” However, there was one big obstacle: I didn’t have a computer and couldn’t see how I could afford one. So, I decided to learn to code using my phone. I started by watching YouTube tutorials and purchased a Python course on Udemy. I printed out the exercise notebook and tried to solve the problems manually. Months passed, and my mother sent me a netbook. With it, I could finally install VS Code and start programming for real. The more I studied, the more certain I became that this was what I wanted to do. But working at the cafe limited my study time. Then, in an act of incredible generosity, my mother’s employer changed my life by offering me the chance to focus exclusively on my studies for three months, paying my salary during that period. I quit the cafe job and dove into my studies. I studied day and night, reading extensively and developing personal projects. I hired a tutor to help me with the more challenging parts, which proved to be immensely helpful. The agreement was that at the end of the three months, I would secure a job. I sent out hundreds of resumes, received many rejections, and only a few interviews. But as they say, you only need one opportunity to work out, and fortunately, it did. I was called in for an interview at CTW, a company within the BMW group. During the technical interview, I realized I couldn’t answer most of the questions. I stopped the interviewer and said, “I don’t know the answers to these questions now, but I promise that I’ll study and learn them. Next time you ask, I’ll know the answers.” There was silence, but then the interviewer smiled and asked a few simpler questions before ending the interview. A few days later, I received an offer to become an intern. Even though there wasn’t an open position, they liked my attitude and gave me an opportunity to learn within the company. The initial proposal was for six months as an intern, with the possibility of being hired as a developer at the end of that period. After four months of the internship, I was hired as a developer. My eagerness to learn and determination were recognized, and my contract was accelerated because I had already demonstrated alignment with the company’s values and work model. Since 2022, I’ve been involved in two projects and am very pleased with what I’m learning. However, something is still missing. The Importance of Higher Education: I notice a significant difference between myself and my colleagues who have completed a university degree. They grasp complex concepts more quickly and dive deeper into code with greater ease. It’s common to hear them mention that they learned a certain topic in college. I hold higher education in high regard. I believe it’s possible to enter the workforce and find a position without a university degree, but to advance in a career and deepen your understanding of the work, a degree is indispensable. Even completing just a few semesters provides a solid and valuable foundation. I often feel like I’m missing out on something during discussions with my colleagues. They see me as someone who works very hard, but I don’t want to be just hard-working. I want to be excellent, to be a reference, and to help my colleagues with the more complex problems we face daily. That’s why I enrolled in the Computer Science program at the University of London, in a remote format, so I can balance work and study conveniently. I’ve attended a traditional university in the past, so I’ll have a good basis for comparing the two models (remote and in-person) and will share my thoughts on the pros and cons of each. I also plan to describe what I’m learning in the course and whether I feel it positively impacts my professional performance. It will be challenging to balance a full-time job with a degree, but I’m excited about this new challenge. The Subjects: My semester starts in October, and I’ve chosen two subjects: Discrete Mathematics and Introduction to Programming I. Additionally, I’ve already completed the Google IT Support course on Coursera, which grants me credits equivalent to the “How Computers Work” subject offered by the university, making a total of three courses this semester. Since I entered through performance-based admission, my spot will only be secured if I pass the two courses I’m enrolled in. At the moment, my biggest concern is Discrete Mathematics, as I’ve never been particularly strong in math. However, I’m working to overcome this difficulty and ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Next Steps: My goal is to keep a consistent record of my learning journey to share with everyone interested in this experience. If you want to know more about the application process, why I chose this course, or have any other questions, feel free to ask in the comments. Thank you so much for reading this far, and see you next time! If you enjoy my work and want to support it, you can buy me a coffee!

Here's Why I Decided to Pursue a CS Degree Even Though I Already Had a Stable Job in the Field

The rideshare and delivery markets are undergoing an upheaval driven by rapid technological advancements and shifting consumer behaviors. Companies like Wave are surfing this change with bespoke artificial intelligence (AI) technology, carving out a competitive edge in a burgeoning industry. As the market expands, opportunities abound for those willing to adapt. Wave’s own personal brand of AI-driven safety and community involvement has positioned it quite advantageously, taking the market by storm in U.S. cities like Atlanta and Chicago. The Expanding U.S. Sector The global rideshare market is projected to reach $335 billion by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2% from 2020 to 2025. This growth is fueled by increasing urbanization, the rising preference for shared mobility, and the convenience of on-demand services. Similarly, the online food delivery market is expected to surpass $213 billion by 2030. This explosive expansion is primarily driven by the proliferation of platform-to-consumer services and the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the United States, DoorDash leads the food delivery market with a 67% market share, followed by Uber Eats with 23%. The intense competition among these giants has focused on efficiency and customer experience, with companies investing heavily in AI and automation to streamline operations and reduce costs. "AI has changed the rules of the game. Not only in transportation or food delivery but every other aspect of the industry as well," says Diondre Lewis, CEO of Wave. "At Wave, AI has enabled us to optimize routes, predict demand, enhance safety, and provide better customer support." Room for Growth in the Markets The rideshare and delivery markets present numerous opportunities for savvy businesses looking to capitalize on recent technological developments. One among these trends is the increasing efficiency of last-mile delivery, which now represents 53% of the total cost of transportation. Companies are exploring various technologies, including AI, autonomous vehicles, and crowdsourcing, to reduce these costs and improve delivery times. Autonomous vehicles, including drones, are also becoming a viable solution for last-mile deliveries, offering the potential to cut costs and enhance efficiency significantly. This trend is expected to gain momentum as technology advances and regulatory frameworks evolve, addressing labor shortages and improving service efficiency. Another opportunity lies in the growing demand for personalized and efficient delivery services. AI-powered platforms can analyze vast amounts of data to provide personalized recommendations, optimize delivery routes, and predict peak demand times, much like Wave itself does. "The name of the game is customer satisfaction. There is no better way to meet the varied demands of our clients than with machine learning. We offer services from food delivery to corporate rideshares and non-emergency medical transport," Lewis explains. The Role of AI in Shaping the Future AI technology is credited with most of the transformation in the rideshare and delivery markets. Companies increasingly rely on AI to optimize their operations, improve safety, and provide personalized services. Wave's AI-powered platform is the very epitome of the potential AI presents. The company's proprietary AI algorithms, such as dynamic micro-zone demand prediction and real-time optimal route adjustment, aid drivers with picking the most efficient paths, reducing fuel consumption and wait times. These artificial intelligence algorithms are also utilized in Wave’s steadfast focus on safety. The algorithm analyzes vehicular operation to suggest the best time to perform routine maintenance and through automated disturbance or vehicular accident detection. Wave's Technological Potential Wave has carefully positioned itself to capitalize on these market opportunities. Since its inception, the company has focused on underserved markets, such as non-emergency medical transport and exclusive event transit. This allows it to tap into niche segments that larger competitors often overlook. "Beyond profit, Wave stands for serving those groups often forgotten by bigger companies. We even offer services for transportation of young children, with the requisite safety measures and monitoring in place," Lewis says. As consumer preferences shift toward shared mobility and on-demand services, Wave readies itself for further expansion. The rideshare and delivery markets are ripe with opportunities for companies willing to evolve. Wave's drive to further build upon its bespoke AI platform positions it as a formidable contender in the market. This piece was published as part of HackerNoon’s Business Blogging Program.

Now that the mitigation measures of COVID-19 have made a deep stamp upon the global economy, many who were laid off or lost businesses during the various lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 are starting to renew their economic earnings through what is euphemistically called the “gig economy,” a term that grown in popularity over the past decade. Still, this term has taken on new proportions in the post-pandemic United States. Now, freelancing jobs offered through apps like Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Deliveroo, and many other app-based services, are being taken on by former professionals During the Covid pandemic, newer, digital-first work platforms like Uber Eats surged in popularity as millions were forced to shelter at home. Those who could afford it turned to online delivery apps. Scientific data indicates that the number of people working with these platforms has grown, too. “The Evolution of Platform Gig Work, 2012-2021” published by the University of Chicago in May 2023, tracked the earnings of gig workers through tax filings. What this study uncovered was that the number of people who report income from platform-based gig work to the IRS has exploded in recent years from just over one million to nearly five million workers. Aside from being a clear indication of just how many more people use tech platforms to help earn a living, this demonstrates how the gig economy is rising in popularity even for the convenience of those who prefer to work part-time or a specific schedule in order to take on other caregiving roles at home. But the gig economy is not limited to working-class delivery jobs. There has been a longstanding gig economy among the educated for decades within higher education—namely that of adjunct faculty. These professors are often graduate students working on their PhD, but even today, more and more are PhDs with no hope for full-time employment in sight. Adjunct faculty are not only paid a small amount compared to the tenure-track cohorts, but they lack job security, benefits, and even—depending on the institution—health insurance and sick leave. While evidence abounds as to how the global pandemic pushed the gig economy into popularity, even by its previous critics, the necessity of survival was likely the incentive to enter into this job market. With no possibility of leaving the house for millions, online platforms became the obvious solution, to include the class of people who decided to enter online trading from their homes. The impact of COVID-19 on global economies made a dent even among the middle classes that were willing to take marked investment risks from their sofas where Forex trading and myriad investment platforms became the focus for a number of working populations—especially the younger generations with savings, yet ample time to participate in the share and currency markets. What is surprising about the post-pandemic gig economy is not so much its enduring popularity, but how these jobs have alerted workers far beyond the gig theatre, that perhaps they too ought to have a greater say in their working hours, the ability to care for children and elderly relatives, and most of all, it has set off a larger conversation about the four-day work week, something currently under experimentation in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and the United Kingdom, among many countries. Perhaps the gig economy’s greatest legacy might actually be that it reshapes the landscape of labor rights—from the blue to the white-collar workers—across the planet.
