Grubhub

Grubhub is one of the original major food delivery platforms in the US. Drivers deliver food from restaurants to diners. Grubhub is known for its scheduling system, which allows drivers to reserve 'Blocks' of time for priority orders, though you can also toggle 'Available' anytime without a schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does scheduling work?

Drivers can schedule 'Blocks' of time in advance. While you can drive off-block, drivers on a scheduled block often get priority for incoming orders, leading to higher earnings.

2. What is the guaranteed minimum?

In some markets, if you schedule a block and accept a certain percentage of orders but don't receive enough requests to meet a minimum hourly rate, Grubhub will contribute pay to ensure you make that minimum.

3. Can I deliver on a bike?

Yes. In many urban areas, you can sign up to deliver via bicycle or scooter. The app will tailor the delivery distances to be manageable for cyclists.

4. When do I get paid?

Grubhub sends payments weekly via direct deposit on Thursdays. They also have an 'Instant Cash Out' feature allowing free daily cash outs for Chase bank customers (50 cents for others).

5. What are the vehicle requirements?

Requirements are generally lenient. You need a valid driver's license, auto insurance, and a reliable vehicle. The car does not have strict age limits like rideshare apps (Uber/Lyft).
