How do I become a food delivery driver?

You may also need to have insurance, a smartphone with the delivery app, and meet any specific platform requirements. Once approved, you can start accepting delivery orders through the app.

How much do food drivers actually make?

Food drivers typically earn between $10 and $20 per hour, including tips, with total earnings depending on factors like location, delivery volume, and tips received. Many drivers also earn additional income through bonuses or incentives offered by delivery platforms. Pay can vary based on experience, efficiency, and the number of deliveries completed.

What food drivers make the most money?

Food drivers who deliver through platforms that offer higher tips, such as those in busy urban areas or during peak hours, tend to earn the most. Drivers with access to larger delivery zones, efficient routes, and good customer service skills can increase their earnings, especially when working during high-demand times or with premium delivery services.

Job description

FOOD AND EVENT DELIVERY DRIVER

At Roots, we are passionate about making healthy food taste awesome. We strive to empower people through natural food and believe in the potential of humans to do great things. We believe that great food can fuel any lifestyle--whether you choose to participate in a Netflix marathon or an actual marathon.

THE ROLE

We are in need of a part-time delivery driver to take food from Roots and deliver to our customers. This is much more than just grabbing a pizza and dropping it at a front door. Sometimes there will be set up of the food involved. Sometimes you will be carrying a 30lb box down a hall, up an elevator, and down another hall. You will need to have access to an email and a working phone at all times. You'll be interacting with our customers via phone and in person - making you a face of Roots.

Please note this is a contracted position, not a position of employment.

STARTING SALARY AND BENEFITS

Expected pay: average $40+ per delivery

SKILLS, EXPERIENCE, AND REQUIREMENTS

  • This will be approximately 5 hours a week for the first month or two, growing to 10 hours a week over the next 6 months, should you be interested in taking on the extra time
  • MUST HAVE a very flexible schedule (Will get an email with orders by 8:30a for that entire day, but general availability between 10a - 7p Mon-Fri is required)
  • MUST HAVE a driver's license, car insurance, and a reliable car

At Roots, we strive to empower people through radical accessibility to natural food. We believe in the potential of humans to do great things. And we believe that great food can fuel any lifestyle--whether you choose to participate in a Netflix marathon or an actual marathon.
Roots is growing fast, hiring tons of new crewmembers, and promoting from within as often as possible! With that growth comes many new challenges, roles, and opportunities. The sky’s the limit if you are someone who is always looking for new mountains to climb.
