The rates and stuff don't look like the main issue, the quote at the summary of his Uber section gives more insight - "The deliveries are too few". I dislike Uber as much as the next guy, but it sounds like they've either got too many couriers or not enough partner restaurants to make it worthwhile for the guys they have working or them.
- arekkas 10y agoUber not penetrating the market yet is not an excuse for their actions nor does it contradict the statement above.
- smcl 10y agoWe could be talking about lots of things when "their actions" - they're no stranger to controversy or being kinda shitty to their employees - so what specifically do you mean?
- g00gler 10y agoI really like the selection on Uber eats but the delivery fee is typically 2.5-5x higher than GrubHub, thusly I rarely use it. Might be a contributing factor.
- hopfog 10y agoYes, the rates are quite good if the system works as intended. From the article: > “Hello Erik! Today you are guaranteed 300 SEK per hour in “generated amount” when you deliver with Uber Eats during 11:00 am – 1:00 pm & 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm. Hope to see you online!”. The problem is that you need to accept 1 - 1.5 deliveries an hour to activate this, which wasn't possible for the journalist due to the reasons you're mentioning. Uber is now revising the incentives system: http://www.breakit.se/artikel/7575/efter-breakits-granskning-nu-utlovar-uber-eats-battre-jobbvillkor http://www.breakit.se/artikel/7575/efter-breakits-granskning... http://www.breakit.se/artikel/7608/efter-kritiken-sa-forandrar-uber-ersattningen-till-cykelbuden http://www.breakit.se/artikel/7608/efter-kritiken-sa-forandr...

- asabjorn 10y agoDriving for uber eats and uber ride sharing will probably be much busier. Maybe even with no downtime.
