Deliveroo riders make WAY LESS money than you think

It's the ultimate e-mobilty food fight! Eilis goes to head to head with the king of fast food delivery ‪@LondonEats‬ to see who can earn the MOST money in three hours.
Both evenly matched on their trusty e-bikes from Wau, can Eilis give the rider with over 3,500 deliveries under his belt a run for his money?

    Seems like it would make more sense to be a rider for Gorrillas, Zapp, Just Eat or any of those companies that offer salaried work. You might not get the flexibility of working when you want but its guaranteed money and you'd be making at least £10 an hour. Most people would only do this as a side hustle as well.

    Up here in the north we don't have Uber eats and not seen Deliveroo either, but we do have Just Eat, and I think they hire the worst drivers they can find, they block streets, park anywhere including blocking zebra crossings. And the worst part is them collecting from restaurants takeaways etc, you go to a drive through whether MD KFC BK and your food takes ages because the company prioritise the Just Eat orders first, you can be sat at the window watching your order being bagged and they will stop to serve them before finishing yours.

    5 orders in a day! for less than £20. National minimum wage is £9.50 hour. (1st April 2022) That amount of pay for 5 orders is disgusting. Okay maybe if you know the run of getting around the place then you can make it pay but for the time and effort you put in you get less than £20 a day not to mention the pros and cons of where to lock your bike up and the hike up to the customers front door. No wonder the riders are still working unto 8pm and later at night to make up their hours and their money PER DAY! Could you imagine working a full week and coming away with just over £50!? Because of the 'waiting for orders' gaps.
