thats good to know. when i took this security guard job, everyone just told me to have the ubereats/grubhub people go upstairs to deliver it, and i just went with it. but i know from experience that the drivers just deliver it downstairs. as a customer i always try to meet them.

edit: forgot to ask. do they have high standards on what car you need to drive? do you need a specific kind of insurance if you're not actually transporting passengers?

Been a long time since I signed up, but I feel like I remember GrubHub being fairly loose on car requirements. I do not have any sort of special insurance. Just regular car insurance. You are required to provide proof of insurance to sign up. GrubHub is also supposed to insure you, but I haven't heard great things of drivers that have been involved in accidents as far as the quality of coverage goes. Also, apparently if you have the app on, but don't have an order accepted then GrubHub wouldn't cover the accident and your regular insurance wouldn't either. There's apparently some weird type of gap insurance you can get to cover those parts. I've heard it's only like $15/month or something like that. I don't do that though. For that reason, you are best off just being parked if you are waiting to receive an order.

I believe Lyft and Uber are more strict in terms of the quality of car needed. Something like it can't be more than 10 years old or something like that.

I'd recommend signing up. I've had great experiences with it. There could be a wait time to become a driver depending on your area. A lot of people have been turning to these gif economy jobs with the economy slumping so hard.

It's best that you start off doing the job on the side with your security job. Maybe once you feel confident enough in the gig economy you could quit the security job or maybe just do both.

The biggest tip I can give you is to just learn your area very well. Know which restaurants to avoid. I've tried rejecting a ton of orders and accepting everything and I'm better off accepting damn near every order except the REALLY bad ones. Like I keep an acceptance rate around 95%. Just learn your area so you can deliver as fast as possible. It gets even easier when you've delivered to the exact same address a dozen times.
