I do Deliveroo part time ....
in Cambridge, it's £4 per drop (few are on an hourly rate, and I prefer the £4 per delivery).... (plus 'rare' tips) .... The delivery radius is 3 miles from the city centre but most of my drops are within 1-2 km from the restaurant
delivery time from when I have collected the food varies between 6 minutes and 11 minutes depending on distance and traffic. I average 3-4 drops per hour, all dependedant on how long you have to wait for the food from the restaurant (most times, it's ready when you get there)
I bought a cheap Specialized RockHopper for deliveroo, and it's brilliant.
how it works, is that you have an ap on your phone.... when you are ready for work, you log in, and when a job is available for you, you get a message. At this stage, you don't know where to collect or drop off, all you have is an order number
Once that you accept the order, you are told where to collect, and there is a button that you click that links to Google Maps with turn by turn instreuctions
Once collected, you tap the collected button, and it then gives you the address where it has to be delivered with a link to Google Maps
the box is actually very comfortable and within the box, there is a smaller bag for hot foods .... it's a big box/rucksack that can fit pizzas, but most of my deliveries have been chinese take aways ... if you have a back rack on your bike, and don't want the rucksack, they will install a box on the rack
the jacket is brilliant, plus you are given tee shirts, etc etc plus an Anker portable battery charger for your iphone and a bike phone holder for your handlebars ... The kit costs £150 but they deduct the money gradually from your pay .... if ever you decide to leave, you get a full refund when you hand the kit back
one thing that I have noticed though is that cabs/taxis don't seem to like deliveroo riders, and pass very close (a lot closer than when I commute to my other jobs without the bag)
a brilliant part time job for some extra beer money .... I'm saving my money to buy a 1970's/80's Colnago or similar
I know a Polish lad who does it full time, and he earns close to £100 per day/7 days a week
you can work whenever you want and are not forced to do hours/shifts... you can work 1 hour or several .... you are not insured by Deliveroo, and you have to supply and maintain your own bike .... you also have to sort out your own tax/insurance
