re: Waitr sucks worse than fast food.

So, I have worked for Uber,Lyft, and Waitr and can explain some of the confusion. The way Waitr works for drivers is as follows. There is an in person interview, but my day 30 people came and no one was vetted or turned down. Then there is a hour long orientation. Then once you’re driving, unlike uber or Lyft with Waitr you have to pick and stick to a schedule. Once you are on the clock and turn on the app you pick different orders to go pick up. Most of the time they are busy enough where you are assigned orders based on time waited. Honestly, I can only speak for the Baton Rouge branch, but it’s horribly managed. The communication about assignments take place in a 800+ person group me where side chat is frequent and insubordination is accepted. It’s an awful awful setup. When the company was sold I was suprised they didn’t fire the managers immediately. That being said there is definitely importantance placed on food protection. Hot bag usage is mandatory and you get a much better product than say Uber eats. When you order Waitr someone is monitoring your order to make sure it’s not too late and also there’s full time customer service. It’s booming, but I would never work there again. Hope that cleared the process up.

Unless I am misunderstanding your quote she is absolutely full of shite. Not even close. For reference you can choose 2 payment methods. 5 dollars an hour plus tips or 2.50 a delivery plus tips. If you really busy your arse you make 3 delivery’s max an hour. So 30 dollars would mean she’s making 270 bucks in tips? Not at all how I’ve experienced.

This could happen literally anywhere anytime you arent watching someone prepare your food. What a stupid comment....

It has kept some places open.
Delivery is a big thing. And Waitr being a LA thing has all the lazy fricks here using it. I hear it all the time, my wife spends x amount on Waitr every week.

Its an app that I assume, doesn't really do a personal interview with people before they hire them.. to deliver food.

I use Waitr a lot and the only problems I've ever had have been with restaurants messing up the order, not with Waitr.

quote:Uber charges the rest a 30% fee on the ticket total, before tip and tax. that will be what holds them back since waitr charges 15% of the ticket total, INCLUDING tax and tip. I know several rest. owners who aren't happy with having to kick back 15% of the tax and tip but suck it up because of the overall business they get from waitr orders.
UberEats.

Without reading this thread, I'll say this:
Driving for waitr is apparently just like driving for uber. Possibly literally the same people. Just like uber will show them who is requesting to get picked up from where and brought to where, waitr will show them from where to where and how much food. That influences the tip they'll receive. From what I've read the only deliveries that make sense are large orders or ones that they can chain on their way with others. If drivers don't want to take your order, they just won't and it will sit.
Basically from what I understand, don't use waitr unless it's a short common route from the restaurant or you have a fairly expensive order. That or you don't mind waiting for cold food.

Sometimes I like crushing some Greek food while watching Netflix without ever putting on a shirt. Waitr hasn't failed me yet.

I’ve not yet used Waitr. But every time I’ve seen someone from Waitr picking up orders around town they have been pretty meticulous about having the restaurant check and ensure everything was there.

How is it waitr's fault? They literally walk in an are handed the border by the restaurant.
And for some reason, giving you your money back, even though the restaurant fricked up, means they suck?
You ate the food and didnt pay for it....its you who sucks
