Seriously!?! 😣

Twenty goddamn minutes ago I had 100/100/100

I call Driver don’t Care and he explains to me that my stats are calculated from November 24, to today, so everything is correct 🤔

I explained to him that my stats are supposed to be calculated over the entire last 14 days…

He thinks about it for a minute then he says “oh yeah, thank you for bringing that to our attention”

Then he says it should sort itself out in 14 days - no, I said, we need to fix this before tomorrow when I become partner

Oh ok, I’ll submit a ticket…

Seriously!?! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Anyone in Ashville and do a favor? I can't move my market as new driver!

I moved markets already and GrubHub won't let me move because my account is new and I'm not there.

Anyone in Ashville want to use my account to do 20 orders?

Is appreciated

DM me

Only the true road warriors know what's up.

Everyone gets the exact same requests no matter what level or partnership. You only get to schedule first by raising your level: which does in turn give you priority over someone not scheduled, but there's absolutely no other advantage than this.

DoorDash mafia

I heard through the grapevine that there’s some kind of illegal DoorDash activity going on in the Philadelphia area. Apparently it’s all run by a couple guys. They give all these immigrants, fake socials and IDs and get them all used Prius’s. Anyone else heard of anything like this?

Why do GrubHub drivers take way longer than DoorDash?

So I just ordered from GH, I normally do DD because GH is almost always a bad experience. Is there a reason the app says the driver is on the way to me when they're clearly making other deliveries? I always tip well, because I'm tipping in a manor of: "this person is picking up the order I just placed and bringing it to me" when in reality, they're picking up several orders and making several deliveries. With mine almost always getting delivered within ~3 mins of the maximum threshold. All ice melted, food essentially cold. This restaurant is 6 minutes away and it took 36 minutes for my food to get here after getting picked up.

Unfortunately I'm just not gonna tip anymore, use GH or have that tip be significantly diminished.

Is this a common issue as I'm sure drivers get most of the blame?

Thinking of trying it.

I’m looking at trying to earn money on my free time. Just wondering what I need to know about car insurance, taxes and other things involved. What are the pros and cons and how pay works? Is it worth it if it involves extra expenses?

App screwed me

Had a delivery to a hotel. Total opposite cities. Then on help line for 15 minutes trying to get help and she told me to take a picture of the wrong building. Then didn’t hang up so i could rate her 1 star.

What is a generous tip for small orders?

Its super important for me to tip well, so I’m wondering what tip makes it worth it? Like if its a small order is $10 good? Also do yall actually get the tips if we tip on the order rather than in cash? Thanks

Haven’t received an order an my block is about to end. Should I end my block so I don’t get punished for “abusing blocks”?

Seen other post about people that don’t receive orders and then get banned from blocks I am willing to lose my $10 an hour so that doesn’t happen should I just end my block early so I don’t get in trouble or risk it? Also have another block today thinking about dropping that one as well because i’ve already received contribution this week for the first time ever so I don’t want there system to flag me I know it’s thanksgiving but I need money so I scheduled blocks anyways.

Someone stole my earnings by adding their card to my driver app account… how do I find out who did that?

I had a feeling my phone was being monitored by someone because of a few weird things and glitches. It seems outright idiotic to add your own bank account to someone’s work app to steal from them. Very traceable back to whoever did this. Luckily I had only taken a few orders so they stole a total of $18…. Grubhub said they would look into it but if someone is on my phone I wanna find out who, and press charges for stalking and stealing.

Anyone dealt with something like this? Thanks for reading.

Miles per year

This year I worked 6 months part time with GH and 6 months full time, so far I have made 30,000 dollars, but I just noticed that I traveled 40,000 miles (I didn't think I had used the car so much) not all of them have been working, but really the personal use of the car is little, everything remains near my house... I think it's not very profitable at the end of the day, I don't really care much, because I'm using this car for this, I'll use it until it doesn't work anymore, but I still think it was a lot of use, for little profit.

Reactivation

GH sent me an email stating that they won’t be reactivating my account . It only got deactivated from me not driving for them for awhile. Does anyone know why they are choosing not to reactivate?

New Delivery Platform

I think it's time for someone to take these delivery platforms lunch money like they did to the cab industry. Drivers get screwed and the patrons get screwed because the operators pass on the fees. Someone needs to build a web3, blockchain enabled staking platform for the people. This is some b*lls**t.

What’s the point of hotzones?

Whats the point when i’m sitting in the spot the hotzone is in before it pops up then while it changes colors from yellow to red then still sitting there after it disappears? Are they even real? Or do they just with hold me from order’s?

Just received a payment I wasn't expecting?

I got a chime notification saying that my money had made it, and I looked and it deposited $16.63 into my account. I haven't done any orders this week, not any orders today on GrubHub. Where did this deposit come from? Has this happen to anyone else? Or does anyone know why this might have happened?

Look I agree I'm antisocial and awkward and don't want to deal with people

Main reason I got this job. But we need to stop the contact free delivery, or at least change the standard to hand it to the diner.

I'm missing a lot the human contact and I don't want future generations (kids) to think its okay to just leave the food on the floor take a picture and leave, we need to explain to them that there was a time where this thing called covid happened and we had to be 6 feet apart and thats why we do this.. but it's long gone now.

We need to get back to handing the food the customers. I'm tired of leaving the food outside especially in the cold. It don't sit right with me

Do you agree? Do you like better to just leave the food and why? Do you think it's more safe?

I wanna hear your opinions and see if anyone agrees with me :)

Has Grubhub ever considered making their app for drivers functional?

It's a little bit magical how Grubhub's app constantly tells me that I missed two or three offers that it never notified me about.
I can have the app on top and be staring at it. The bell will ring, but no offer. Sometimes there's no sound or visual notification at all and yet order upon order somehow invisibly, inaudibly comes to me and I miss them all.
Do the people who run the company know how to hire an app developer? Someone to maintain and test the app to make sure it works on even the smallest, simplest level?
Do they have a budget of a few thousand dollars to pay someone to have a look at it and make it actually send notifications to drivers? Notifications that drivers can see and hear instead of the invisible, silent, background notifications that it only tells us about after the fact?
It seems like someone there ought to want to make sure that the company's only tool for making money isn't a broken, useless failure. I've just never seen evidence of such a thing.
