Working for Waitr.

So, I have seen this mentioned on TD a few times and also just around the web in general. I have been working for Waitr since September of 2018. Not only just online but I've had lots of people ask me how much we make in person as well.

I was a graphic designer for a company for almost 11 years, got tired of where I was working, not what I was doing, and decided to go back to school. While I was in school I started working for Waitr simply because you have no schedule, no boss, no nothing. It was just convenient for me. You work when you want for as long or short as you want.

I hope this doesn't come across as some kind of recruitment pitch, I'm just giving my honest thoughts.

After working with Waitr for a while I decided to stop the schooling, as what I was going for (IT) I was already fairly well versed in and if I really wanted to learn more its all there for free online anyway. Now I still do graphic design because I love it, so I do it as a side gig doing commissions and random stuff for people.

Anyway, on to Waitr. I usually work from 7am-Dark (around 8-8:30pm). I usually work weekends as well, but usually not for that long unless there is just nothing going on to do otherwise. I do 25-30 deliveries a day, sometimes more. I make around $2,200 per week. I tell this to people that ask all the time and no one believes me.

I fill up my gas tank probably every 3 days on average. I get around 22mpg in my truck.

If you or someone you know is in need of work, they are always hiring and the only way you don't get hired is if you are a complete, supreme frick-up. And you can make damn good money doing it with no boss, no office, no schedule. You will be a 1099 independent contractor, so keep that in mind as far as taxes, benefits, etc go.
