Like someone said above make sure you carry parmesan and peppers or any other condiments your location has. A lot of people will want them! Other then that I loved delivering pizza honestly I made better money working part time there then I do now working for a little over ten an hour full time.

use a gps, bring music... and keep calm when people inevitably stiff you. there are good people out there, but the bad ones will wreck your day if you let them. never talk back to the customer, a lot of times when people get snippy, it's because they're just hangry.

Ya listen to 404. When I first started if I didn't get a tip it would ruin my night. But you'll learn it all works out anyway. And in my experience huge orders tip either really well. Or you'll get $4 after delivering like $250 worth of stuff. All in all I like the job quite a bit.

yup. i tipped to some of the nicest houses you could possibly get orders from... many times they were super stingy... other nights they were amazing. it's your regulars that typically tip the best though, always take care of those.

-Do'nt snake your fellow drivers
-Always make sure you have all the right stuff before going out
-Indy gigs are usually better than pig3(pizza industrial giant- ph, dp, pj)
-Have pride in your job as it deserves it.  It's a very respectable and dangerous job, and do'nt let anyone tell you otherwise.  Anyone who looks down upon you is a scumbag.
-Good tippers get first priority.  Only cater to stiffs first if you have to go significantly out ov your way to screw them over.
-Do'nt tamper with food regardless.  When people lose trust in delivery, the whole industry suffers.
-ALWAYS be aware ov your surroundings.  Red flags are change for a hundred to first timers and shady locations. 
-Stand your ground in regards to your rights.  Pig3 in particular will do what they can to fuck you over and enslave you.  Do what you can to not use a rob-me sign(car topper)and do not door hang without compensation if you're sub-minimum or minimum.
-Let extra cheese and extra sauce pies cool a little before taking them out unless you're a prius or beige camry driver.  And do'nt overstack, especially without pie tables.
-Carry extra socks and a shovel in the snow.

There's way more, but that's a start.  Enjoy this frustrating but honorable job.

My experience is the opposite.  I have worked for numerous mom and pop shops as well as pizza hut and papa johns.  At the mom and pop shops I made less money, delivered lower quality food, they treated customers worse, and you had to deal with their crazy beliefs and personality disorders without corporate there to right the ship and mandate quality and professionalism.

That's because indi is not always better, it's just more chaotic and less regulated. It's like talking stocks: do you want the high yield/high risk return, or... Bigger businesses are usually shittier because management everywhere focuses on profits before working conditions. If there is any freedom left, it's in how they slave drive you, not in how you produce.

Just look for the best fit for you and don't get too bogged down in generalizations.

RE: Tips, it's always difficult when you first start out if there's not an established system (Phil Lesh, that's great!). Egoist thoughts will preclude you to carry bad experiences from one guest to the next at first too. As you learn to remember faces more and read situations better, you'll start to learn who the friends and foes are and what vibes they put out. You'll find the beat and start influencing your surroundings, rather than the other way around.

I have delivered pizzas before, was not a bad job.  I was using heroin/cocaine though so was comfortably numb, but overall I actually thought it was fun, had numerous females of assorted ages offer me sex from time to time, numerous folks offer to smoke me out for a tip, had some interesting times at that job.

One thing that was shitty though, I had to pay for my own gas, I think the company should do so.

I worked at Dominoes Pizza for a while. We would enter the addresses into a computer when we took an order. If it was an address known not to tip, then the name on the order was Phil Lesh. Always. That way, we knew not to rush those orders.




that's fucked up bro

like keeping a record of peeps who dont tip is just.. what's the word.. mean?, and maybe kind of psychotic..

i got a tip for u op, dont the above^, treat everyone as equals regardless whether they tip or not

I have a personal log in my phone from my delivery days with phone numebers and addresses with stars next to them. 1 star is bad, 3 is great.

No stars and i take your pizza out of the bag and put your drink into it, making thr pizza cold and he drink warm

Getting food of a desirable temperature is the responsibility of the driver.

As the driver, if i have no incentive to do that and you make me waste 30 min round trip and my gas to give you your food so your fat ass can sit on the couch in your underwear, you better believe its not going to be the way you want it

Better than spitting on it or something

Garbage.  Tipped wage labor allows for the opportunity to reward quality service, which makes it encourage superior service.  People ov well meaning toward their fellow humans will recognize this and reward quality service.  Drivers risk their lives to appease peoples' momentary desire to feast. 

If the customer is a poor tipper, it means that they do not regard the life and service ov the driver to be worthy ov compensation.  Not everyone is equal on this ground; scumbaggery does exist and many live the implications to the fullest.  To provide service to everyone equally is a corporate failing to good people.  By rewarding drivers, drivers deserve to reward customers and the good ones do.  Tipped wage labor encourages this positive working relationship while at the same time discouraging disregard for a fellow human.

you have to understand that it is not customary in many countries to tip - brazil and england to name two. also, many people haven't ever worked in the service industry... so they don't really know what it's like. delivery drivers get the shit end of the stick often as far as tips go, as they aren't often considered as worthy of merit like a waiter, even though we have to put up with more shit. paying for a car. maintenance. gas. dealing with OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. omg, i've had some insane things happen to me while driving, people are absolutely bonkers... shit like running me off the road, cutting me off, slamming on the brakes in front of me, even getting out of their cars to beat on my windshield.

i should probably carry a gun, but while i would appreciate the peace of mind, i would not want to actually have to use it.

No, that's nature adapting. Tipping is not some secret thing that only the elites know about anymore. It's a well established institution, and even the cheapskates are expected to participate.

If you are a bad tipper it sends a clear message that you are not happy with the service and will probably not be using the service again. If you DO decide to use the service again, you will probably get the benefit of the doubt and still get good service. But if you use the service on a constant basis without tipping, I'm going to use that information too.

A system just keeps individuals accountable for their relationships with service industry. It's fucked if their system only notes the bad tippers, but I like the star system that was mentioned. You have to prioritize and you'd be an idiot if you didn't stack the deck in your favor.
