Pros

Flexible hours Independent contractors Ability to work anywhere, any time

Cons

Inconsistent demand- the amount of money you make always depends on how busy you are and there is no way to get the app to give you more work. You must budget for gas, insurance, and maintenance. Depending on your personal situation this may work, but remember you are essentially letting DD utilize your vehicle to advance their bottom line.

Pros

No set schedule / work when you want to / instant pay

Cons

The pay has consistently gotten worse / app failure cancellations and company card declines used to get half pay now they give nothing or $2 when it say’s guaranteed whatever the offer pay accepted may be. Offers are so low lately that if you accept the lowballs you loose money and if not they lower your ratings. No way to prevent lowball offers and restaurants lately are so disorganized and slow that you have to unassign many offers due to such poor service in these fast food and other restaurants hurting driver ratings and or loosing time and money. Disputing ratings: when customers lie so they can get their items free is pointless to dispute with the support because the ratings stay same regardless
