I hate having to use 3 different delivery apps.
 
They all have problems.
 
Uber is the worst app. If you are not looking at it and an offer comes through, the offer will appear in a small window over top of the other app or whatever you have open. You can not move it, click the app behind it or anything. You can not see if it is multiple orders or where they are going in the small window.
 
Sometimes the offer will pop open the small window while you were trying to do something in another app and you end up clicking accept on the offer before you get a chance to look at it.
 
Starbucks is Uber only as far as I know and I decline them whenever I can now. I will also decline any and all Apple deliveries because they require signatures and if the people are not home you have to take the crap back to the Apple store which may take 30 minutes.
 
Uber is the best company in regards that it supposedly does not count declining or unassigning orders against you. Uber also has no specific pick up or delivery time.
 
Uber also uses a pain in the ass GPS system that is like having a side seat driver. If you can not plan your route on a map with the destination point marked, you should not be a delivery driver. If you turn the voice off, it comes back on every time you clear the cache.
 
DoorDash is next. The map with the supposed route would be ok, but they use a black line for the route which makes it very hard to see the name of the road.
 
The map was sufficient, but they added an Uber like GPS that opens up and tells you how to drive. You have to exit that crap every single frigging time. Again, that kind of shit is for the idiot that can not make change at a cash register.
 
The app almost always goes to a take a picture option which is a good thing.
 
Doordash has a specific pick up and delivery time. With staff shortages and driving in this area those times are not realistic a lot.
 
Doordash has the worst deliveries. Seriously, $2.50. Even if it takes 15 minutes total that comes out to $10/hr. Fuck you.
 
Doordash counts declining and unassigning against you.
 
Grub Hub's app is pretty good to use.
 
The pick up and delivery times are more like a guess than anything else.
 
It does allow for pointing out the restaurant is behind and there will be a delay.
 
Grub Hub allows block scheduling, but sometimes you can get better or more offers without the block. It is kind of screwy.
 
Grub Hub counts rejecting and cancelling deliveries against you.
 
It would be great to be able to make the money that I want to make on using just one app, but it isn't feasible.
 
The minute I start doing it then everyone else want to jump in and think they can to. There are only so many deliveries.
 
That or the customers start using a different app with their pinky up to the corner of their mouths and going Tee Hee Hee.
 
I sure seems that some of the restaurant people get their jollies off of making people wait especially if it pisses that person off.
