Food Delivery Rider
What you'd actually do
The work is accepting orders on an app, getting to the restaurant, collecting the food and delivering it quickly and intact to the customer. Knowing your area, riding safely and staying polite under time pressure matter, and you decide your own hours and how many jobs to take.
You are usually self-employed and paid per delivery, so earnings rise and fall with how busy it is, the weather and the time of day, with no sick or holiday pay. It is physically demanding, often cold and wet, and you cover your own vehicle, fuel and phone costs.
No qualifications are needed beyond being old enough, having the right to work and a safe bike or a licensed, insured vehicle. You sign up through an app, handle your own tax as self-employed and provide your own safety gear.
