Maximize your earnings

Catering
Catering offers, available to eligible partners, are calculated the same as non-catering offers, however they are typically larger orders with the potential for larger tips. Learn more about catering deliveries.

Large Orders
Large orders, available to eligible partners, can be accepted or rejected like any other order. Large orders are any order over $150 before tip. Learn more about large orders.

Bundled Offers
Bundled orders may be offered from restaurants that are close together to help maximize efficiency. Bundled orders can result in higher earnings for time spent because they give you the opportunity to receive more orders and potentially more tips for less drive time!

Alcohol delivery
Delivery partners ages 21+ in select markets may get orders containing alcoholic beverages. Delivering alcohol is another opportunity for you to make more money, but you need to pay close attention to delivering safely and legally. It’s crucial to keep yourself and diners safe, so please be aware and comply with the law when you deliver alcohol. Learn more about alcohol delivery.
