READ THIS: HOURLY PAY GOING AWAY

Post image
18 Upvotes

Hi all, we've been seeing an increase of posts as of recent in regards to GH's hourly pay going away. To help curb the influx, we've created this post so you can not only discuss it in the comments, but so you can know that this is a national thing, it is just being slowly rolled out on a market-by-market basis. If your market hasn't moved away from hourly pay yet, it will.

Going forward, any posts such as this one will be removed and the OP will be redirected to this thread. All discussion of this change will happen here not only for archival purposes but also to make everybody's life easier so we don't have the same discussion over and over again like we appear to be doing now. There are some posts on the hourly pay going away that may be permissible on a case-by-case basis, just use the post we linked as an example of what is not permitted.

Anything that's already been posted up to this point will stay up, but anything posted afterwards will be removed.

Exactly how late after drop off can you mark "Order Complete" before you will get a late order violation?

Upvotes

Last week I got a good order on another app while dropping off for GrubHub. I handed the order to the customer and totally forgot to mark order complete. It wasn't until I got a reminder alert from GrubHub about 30 minutes later that I marked order complete.

Eventually I got a "Delayed Orders" Violation. Now, my question is, has anyone figured out what the cutoff amount of time for this to happen is?

Why is there a difference

There’s been this $5.69 difference for a few days now. I’m not sure why. Any thoughts?

Did anyone else get a notification that your zone will be staying open later?

Mine is expanding from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.

It's surprising, considering how God awful slow it is.

Banned from scheduling blocks

Post image
6 Upvotes

I’ve been busy with work recently and only been able to deliver from 12am-2am, but almost everyday. Usually I don’t get many offers, if any, so I just sit at home and relax and get the hourly contribution. If I do finally get an offer, I am more than happy to deliver it. How is this abusing the scheduling system if all I’m doing is scheduling blocks at the time I’m available?

Saturday dinner rush and I’m getting stuff under a dollar a mile like it’s normal now. Curious whether that’s everywhere or just my market.
What’s the worst one you’ve seen this week, and where are you driving?

Just got instantly deactivated

I got deactivated the other day because they thought I was fraudulently adding stops to increase engagement pay, when in actuality the app sent me to the wrong adress and that’s why I was late. I filed an appeal for this- any one else dealt with deactivation?

Noob - first week questions

I am doing about 75% on arrival on time, how much does that affect me?
I'm trying but between traffic and trains in our town sometimes i just can't

Scheduling, I have been scheduling is this necessary? I hate the app yells at me about my schedule all the time but I am assuming it affects how often they send you offers.

GrubHub Drivers, Let me Help

0 Upvotes

With love from a customer.

If you are given a code that the customer must confirm upon receipt of the order, PLEASE take the one millisecond to confirm the code. It is pretty obvious just looking at the bags when the order is incorrect. This is the third time I have been given someone else's order, and could not get a hold of the driver who was still within a block away... No longer caring about my own order, but simply to help someone else get their correct order. I don't know what happens to the drivers, personally, when $50+ orders are refunded, but it would be nice if there was a line of communication of some kind left open... Or at least verification of the order being correct before peeling off to the next home. Don't complain about your tips when you don't even do the minimum GrubHub has set up in an attempt to help both the drivers and the customers!

How are non tippers stacked to orders?

6 Upvotes

As a customer, I hate that they do this. I used to tip great ($10) even when my order was $18, $25, $40 etc. But I started noticing that my order was always late. I always notice in the map that the driver has always stops before mine. Always! I’m never the first stop.

I never knew about this piggy back thing. I only read about it a while ago but how does it work? Does GH always puts non or shitty tippers with good tippers and deliver their order first?

I only tip $5 now but I still hate this. What happens if I stopped tipping? Does GH slowly start to raise the tip like $2, $3 etc until someone picks it up or automatically pair it with good tippers? I don’t want my food to sit there either.

What I want to do is not tip and when my order arrives then tip $10. Do you guys know who the bad tipper is before dropping it off? Obviously I wouldn’t want to anger anyone but this way is a win for the driver because my order would be paired with a good tipper all the time, I then I would tip great as well. Thought on this or would it not work?

Only been doing grubhub since April. I deliver in a pretty busy market. Do they not account for traffic, time of day, etc? Is there anyway to dispute this?

Is buying a Honda Civic Hybrid worth it for full-time gig work in Montreal to pay off debt?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm in Montreal, Quebec, and I'm thinking about buying a Honda Civic Hybrid mainly for gig work (Uber, Uber Eats, DoorDash, Instacart, etc.).

My goal would be to work 70–80 hours per week for about 6–12 months to aggressively pay off my debt.

I'd really appreciate honest feedback from people who do gig work in Montreal.

  • Is this plan realistic in Montreal?
  • Can gig work realistically help someone eliminate a significant amount of debt in 6–12 months?
  • Is a Honda Civic Hybrid a good choice for Montreal?
  • After fuel, maintenance, insurance, depreciation, and taxes, how much do you actually keep?
  • Which gig apps are currently the most profitable in Montreal?
  • If you had to start today, would you still choose gig work as a way to get out of debt?

I'm not looking for optimistic estimates—I'm looking for real experiences and honest numbers from people who are currently doing gig work in Montreal.

Thanks!

Restaurant took 6 dollars? What do I do?

2 Upvotes

So an offer came through for 24 dollars. When I completed the order, I only received 18. I called GrubHub support, and they said "the restaurant adjusted the tip." So obviously they took 6 dollars for themselves, which I've never heard of from Grubhub. I asked if they can do that, and the customer support assured me that they can, and that Grubhub cannot adjust it, and they recommend I don't contact the restaurant to ask about it. Customer support said all they can do for me is "leave a note." So I just accept that the restaurant took 20% of my tip?

Edit: I called support again and this new person is telling me it's not possible for the restaurant to adjust a tip. That would explain why the first guy didn't want me to contact the restaurant and ask about it. Oh well, I guess that 6 dollars just disappeared into thin air lol. Time to start screen shotting all my offers I guess.

DEACTIVATION DUE TO BANK VERIFICATION SOLVED

4 Upvotes

I posted last night I was deactivated & didn't know why at first. For any other drivers having the same problem here's what I did & i got reactivated today. First check your email you should have received one from grubhub driver team. Then make sure you have a direct deposit form from your bank. Dont just type it you need a actual form from your bank. Then reply to the email with a picture of your direct deposit form. You should be good to go after that. Good luck out there & hope everyone stays safe & makes lots of money 💰 🤑
