Your earnings will vary depending on where you work and tips. If you drive in a busy area, you’re likely to pick up more orders in food delivery apps. In a more rural location, there may be fewer orders and more competition with other drivers.
To make $500 a week delivering for DoorDash, you’d need to make 62.5 deliveries if you netted around $8 from each one. That’s 12.5 deliveries a day for five days a week or 1.5 deliveries per hour for a nine-hour work day.
While hard, you would make more than minimum wage in some states.
