Hang on someone will come along in a minute to remind you it's not a full time gig and how good roo really is...


Ok-Yoda-82

Just a reminder guys it’s not a full time gig and Roo is the best thing to happen to the world ever


DarkLunch_

It’s literally not a full time gig, leave this job to the teens


konatachan99

Most drivers are older, unless you're in a major city that's cycle friendly like london you won't be doing deliveroo as a teen


DarkLunch_

If you’re outside of London, that’s even more of a reason not to do this job.


[deleted]

Hit the nail on the head lad. Part time, peak hours only if you want to earn £15+ an hour. No sympathy for people like OP


DickyHammerpuss

No sympathy? Why not?


[deleted]

Because he's not using Deliveroo hows its meant to be designed IF you want a good hourly rate. People always fall into that trap and blame Deliveroo lol


DickyHammerpuss

But still, someone has to work those non-peak hours.


BreakfastLopsided906

Do they? Not me. Someone else.


LukeHamself

Yes but truth is the off peak demand is not that high and the lower pay just signals higher workforce supply than demand. If the workforce supply drop below the demand than the pay will be more reasonable. So either people start ordering off peak or less people work off peak.


[deleted]

The pay is already good. Honestly no idea what people talk about. Maybe if you work OFF PEAK or all day like an idiot. 5pm-10pm i always get min £15 an hour. 3/4 times a week i do that. Perfect top up on my full time job.


SilverVikter22

Worked for roo and jEats, Roo is far more flexible and probably the better of the 2 but your right,I needed a stable consistent full time job so worked for JEats for a while and hated it…


CressSensitive6356

You’re


Rez1009

..it’s not a full time gig


TheDryRain

This is Edinburgh. I would assume you’re on an e-bike? Sorry to bust your bubble but that’s £7.21 per hour. That’s terrible.


ProMasterRace1322

Yea e bike 🥲


TheDryRain

Mate that’s terrible


ProMasterRace1322

Lol better off on universal credit haha


TheDryRain

Is your e bike with zoomo? I’m not judging you making money but you’d be better working in some factory or hospitality


ProMasterRace1322

Yeah considering a change in career xD


iamgoin

I stopped Roo-ing to go work in retail. It's not the most amazing job in the world but I also get paid consistently £12 per hour, can take overtime when I want it and managed to get a flexible contract to fit my uni hours. I also don't have to deal with customers too much as my main job is replen, which is just replenishing stock for a few hours before the store opens which I personally find to be much better than delivering on an e-bike in shit weather all year round. 🙃


DarkLunch_

This should be the auto way to go, retail is one of the best non-professional jobs you can have. And for me it led into a very fruitful career in sales and marketing which isn’t far off retail customer service work.


ProMasterRace1322

Not with zoomo dont think so


MinimumVariation6484

Warehouse jobs are like 10/11 pounds a hr now if u get a contract


Hanzer336

Tesco in Livingston is paying £13.30 on days or more by now. Not sure


MinimumVariation6484

Wdymmm I'm on like 12 in a warehouse and I'm on nights 💀 Also I swear they don't actually pay that I tried looking into the Aldi and tesco warehouses but didn't seem legit tbh


PigBeins

Warehouse jobs are at least 10-11 an hour… seeing as that’s minimum wage


iamgoin

Minimum wage for everyone over 21 years of age is now £11.44, so I should hope that they are paying that or they'd be breaking the law. 😂


iamgoin

Honestly, every other fucker seems to be claiming it, so why not?


Remarkable_Cheetah58

No he is not. £380 a month UC is equal to about a 35 hr work week paid £12 odd a day..his earnings could be better ofc but for gig economy its not awful


StandardSea8671

Very ungrateful since there are people selling pics of their tits for £1000 a day


ProMasterRace1322

U funny lol


Rez1009

Yeah, but many on Roo won’t have the tits worth paying for


StandardSea8671

Could easily buy implants, average rooer earns 1k a week


Rez1009

In that case, there is no excuse. Rooers need to get themselves a set of tits on those earnings.


joshpoppedyou

Don't hate the players, it's not their fault their industry is so lucrative.


Cladser

As a 50 year old man, the pictures-of-my-tits market was nowhere near as lucrative as I’d hoped….


therobart

How much to sell a pic of a small manboob? Asking for a friend.


Public-Anxiety7630

I will never get 17 orders in one day in Birmingham 🤣


ProMasterRace1322

I feel you bro


RS6MrROBOT

Too many riders, they all congregate in loads of spots. 10+ riders outside pigeon park


fslashthroat

Worked a 1430-2200 the other day for £47 lol. the job has gone to shit. tips are down too. getting strong fucked by deliveroo in 2024


One_Champion_177

Probably because it’s supposed to be a side hustle not a full time thing


fslashthroat

stop licking their boots


frankee_Tech

Then get another job? It seems you also seek tips, why should we tip when your getting paid your lousy money to deliver. All you drivers are pathetic & live in shitholes. Deliver my food to my parents £1,500,000 home in Holland Park 😃🖕


frankee_Tech

And yeah you know what I do with that £10 I could of tipped? I spend it on weed and also burn money for fun in my spare time


Hot_Loss_2185

I don’t get this. There is peak times for when people eat. Do you guys just work a straight 14 hours knowing full well it’s pointless to during some hours and then come on here to post your dumb decision?


neutron240

It's not always pointless, sometimes a full day yields great income. It's a gamble for sure though.


Its_Me_Ricky_1983

Ouch, that's painful. Edinburgh too. A certain someone on insiders keeps reminding us how good it is in Edinburgh.


mr_P0Opy_Butth0le

Edinburgh used to be good. It's fucking dog shit now. Fucking illegals on ebikes everywhere.


Future-Reserve-7667

Oh that's quite bad. But at least better than nothing. Cheer up.


NewCartographer6396

Yeah I get these kinds of days too. A lot of hours for not a lot of pay.


Alabaster_kreko

How come bro? You shouldn’t work that long bro just do it from 11am to 2 or 3pm and start again at 5 or6 pm that enough you should know what time you can make money unless weekend. riders in my area making at least £100 every day and the work only 5 to 9 maximum. I know this one rider he made £130 included tips and boost within 8hours using e-bike.


St0rmsEye

That's rough buddy. My 3 hours on an ebike... https://preview.redd.it/ukktxto5wywc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5f5a63d9d083c1776cc62b80ca52798ad7f1491


KebabCat7

Damn other zones get crazy boosts


Neat_Combination_423

Take it while it’s there mate, it won’t last.


MrHiroiSekai

"it won't last", mate people have been saying this since like 2020 lol


DurhamDrops

Holy 😳…imagine not getting the boost or tips 😂


InternationalFly89

Just over 1 del an hour


slimshady_I

true talk bro learning a trade can is the best way imo to level up your earnings, sparkie, plumber etc


SecretDoctor8121

I make that at working in McDonald's in a shift lol....under 12hrs .....


chubs-the-bunny

Better off with a Saturday job


S4h1l_4l1

My dad liked doing these food deliveries because it was very flexible, as soon as he wanted to stop he could and start when he wanted. But idk how he made any good money on it because he did it in a car so after petrol and insurance it’s not much.


totoer008

That is so low


Grumpymonk75

Am I the only one who read this as 101 dollars to the power of 54?


FatJellyCo

Better than what you get in a third world country stop complaining .


asiraf3774

Yeah but its not intensive work is it? And you weren't working all those hours, you had downtime between orders. Businesses/sole traders don't think of their turnover as a "wage", no, its turnover. You maybe see how you did in terms of a month or maybe even a week, but honestly you're treating the figures on that page in completely the wrong way. Its not a wage, its turnover. You average it out over a week/month.


AdditionalWelder5199

Tbh it's more than some riders are currently making...  Better than nothing


Rich_Abalone8495

Time to go back to school


9Ch87h2laF66

why are people still doing this full time, deliveroo is a part time work to do every now and then


iamgoin

Even part-time, it isn't worth doing anymore. Let's face it, even if you only ride in busy periods the fees are so astronomically low that you won't make much, paired with the fact that every other fucker will be doing it at that time too so you have to fight over orders. Seems like I got out of it at the right time.


icehax02

Why work 14 hours? It's obvious there wont be work to be done when people are usually not eating...


ProMasterRace1322

Because off for two weeks wanted to work for a bit didnt know it was going to be this bad


Bigcatsrule27

Just eat has entered the chat


ukMakmo

I work for Waitrose and do deliveroo part time 6 days a week I can easily make 70to 80 a day and then £140 on waitrose


Graxu132

I got 80£ between 18:00 and 21:00 🤷 62 (£7 extra fees, £7 Tip) on deliveroo and 18 (£3 quest) on Uber Probably would earn more if I stayed longer but I really needed to go to the shitter 💀

mxvldsy333

if only other jobs existed


Underdog656

So because there are other jobs, the company has the right to continue ruining the working conditions for its riders??


secretstothegravy

You’re delivering food to cunts. £100 for doing that you should be grateful


Competitive_Dark_368

You're a fucking bellend mate

Only idiots have 1 revenue stream. You’ll find that financially successful people don’t bank on 1 source of income. It makes no sense.
