Is Food Delivery Worth It? Unpacking the Financial Reality
This video explores the financial viability of driving for food delivery services like DoorDash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats as a side hustle. The host discusses the basic earning model of these platforms, including the pay per delivery and tips, and highlights the significant costs involved like gas, vehicle wear and tear, insurance, and self-employment taxes. The video reveals that after considering these expenses, the net profit for most drivers is often below the minimum wage.
