| Comment | Yes. The driver gets paid more than the customer's delivery fee. The average pay for each delivery is around £4, but the rates get "boosts" quite often (boosts are kind of like the UberEats version of surge and is based on supply and demand), which can take some deliveries up to 5 or 6 quid usually. I have on rare occasion seen higher including an £18 trip from German Donner Kebab to Carntyne.
The restaurant takes the hit on this. They also take a hit on silly small orders where somebody ordered just a single cheeseburger. So, some of the time the restaurant will be making a loss on an order. The bet that restaurants are making on these platforms is that they will have enough overall volume where big orders help pay for small orders and delivery costs. |
