Independent contractor platform · You set your own schedule · No guaranteed hours

You're the business

You run your own delivery business. We just run the software.

DriverEats is a dispatch and clearing platform — we route orders, clear payments, and provide the tools; drivers are independent businesses. We're not your employer — you run your own delivery business.

🏷️

Transparent pay, 100% yours

Every delivery pays the standard rate — starts at $6 and rises with distance — 100% of the delivery fee plus 100% of tips, never a cut. Driver-set pricing is coming: you’ll set your own rate in Settings, and it won’t raise the price for customers — keeping delivery affordable is the whole point.

🕒

You control your own hours

Go online whenever you want — no mandatory shifts, no schedules. Declining an offer never counts against you; your acceptance rate is never published or used to deactivate you.

🛠️

We just provide the software

We route orders, clear the payment straight to your own account, and hand you the tools. The delivery business is yours to run.

How offers work

You always see the full offer first.

Every order shows you the full offer upfront — your delivery fee plus distance, tips and any weather pay, before you accept. What you see is exactly what you earn. Your call every time, with no acceptance-rate penalty for passing.

STEP_01

Full offer, instantly

The moment an order matches your location, you see the maximum pay — no guessing, no hidden math.

STEP_02

Accept now or watch it drop

Tap Accept for max pay, or hold off. The offer counts down over ~45 seconds. You can accept at any point.

STEP_03

Missed it? It resets.

If the timer runs out, the offer resets to full pay and you get another shot — twice before it moves on.

STEP_04

Next driver, same full offer

If it passes to another driver, they also see the full offer from the start. Max pay every handoff.

Bottom line: You never get lowballed on the initial offer. Accepting fast = max pay. Missing the window = a fresh reset at max pay. Every driver on every order starts at the top.

🍱 Insulated delivery bags

Select every insulated bag you carry. At least one hot bag (standard or electric) is required — it keeps food at a safe temperature and protects you from false "arrived cold" complaints. Bags run $15–40 at sporting-goods or restaurant-supply stores.

A Cold Bag is optional but recommended for grocery, frozen, and drink orders.
