How delivery partners get paid

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.

Time and mileage estimates are set when you receive the offer.

How much can you make delivering with Grubhub?

Many factors determine how much you can make as a food delivery driver. Grubhub delivery pay may depend on how often you deliver, what time of day, and what market you deliver in. You can use Grubhub’s block scheduling to reserve time-slots for when you want to deliver, which helps ensure there aren’t too many drivers on the road and that you’ll get deliveries. Delivery partners get delivery pay + 100% of their tips for every order delivered. Plus, you can complete Missions and participate in sweepstakes or other special offers to boost pay.
