This is from the perspective of the driver. Unlike DoorDash, which is terrible in their own right Grub Hub makes you subscribe to one area. They appear to do dollars for miles but that’s horrible because if you do five dollars for 5 miles you have to drive 5 miles back to what would be the “hot zone“. The hot zones don’t necessarily provide you with any orders at all. I’ve set in a hot zone for sometime and got no orders whatsoever. The thing that I find most disturbing and just ridiculous is the subscribing to one area. At least DoorDash… Of all terrible companies… Won’t subscribe to one area. It’s extremely problematic. One of the reasons is problematic is because when a person wants to get an order from , a specific area if it’s more than 5 miles away it takes you out of that area. So not only does this mean you have to drive 5 miles back and you have no orders to pick up, but it doesn’t give you any incentive to leave your area for greater pay either. If they’re going to make sure that you leave your area for greater pay, they need to make sure that , the pay is more. As an example to you, these places will have you drive. Let’s say 8 miles for four dollars… At their worst they will also burden you if you’re not desperate enough to do it as an example if you reject the order they will say that your rate goes down and your end of losing your job. Which makes no sense. Not only is this money going to be tax but you’re putting in your safety , your gas, which is very expensive, you’re also putting in your brakes your tires, your liability. Why on earth with anybody and I mean, anybody just accept whatever dollars you throw with them just to have the government take it back not because of taxes. Not to mention the fact that when you do get what you get to spend it, you’ll be taxed anyway you’re really not making any money at all. And I’m absolutely sure that they are aware of this and I’ve done the logistics and that they just don’t care . I understand company place to make money, but you will never keep employees ever ever ever if you fire them because you’re robbing them. I cannot comprehend how 8.9 miles is worth $6.78 tax at 6% and then you have to drive back at some point you are truly doing favors. it is an idea that will not reach the success. It was intended to get. I don’t know if it’s for people who are desperate or for people who are illegal but I do know that when Amazon takes over it I’m hoping that it’s better. Oh by the way Amazon intends on buying Grub and hopefully turning it into something that is , better than what it is today. I hate to say that one is better than the other, but at the very least DoorDash let you have some leniency and doesn’t make sure that you have to be in one area I find GrubHub to be micromanaged and over regulated just to take people bagels , it’s a sad philosophy and even worse marketing strategy for both employee and customer. But overall very serious note the problem is it just doesn’t make any money. They’re using 2020 and paying 1999 prices. Do they not even comprehend that gas has increased exponentially. It’s all the risk of the driver and none of the reward .
