PIZZA DELIVERY any tips?

Ugh so Idk why, I decided HEY I need more money, walked into a pizza place they hired me on the spot and ask if I wanted to work right then and there lol I said no thanks I'll let you know, and had to pick two days. Anyway, picked 4-1AM tonight and 1-9PM tomorrow.
not bad shifts I suppose. I work a shitty union job 30 minutes from me that is 12.55 before dues/tax, so i expect to make a decent amount at this job, plus it pays cash daily so that's a plus.
ANy tips on delivering pizzas and not wanting to kill myself? Currently making mad CDs and hoping that driving will de-stress me, but I also need to overcompensate with cigarettes I imagine.

Carry pepper spray and a taser
I would also put a recorder in my pocket and turn it on at each delivery spot. Cover all angles cuz people like to rob pizza guys

Either get/borrow a GPS or learn the area well. Music is a big helper, but now I associate all the music I listened to during work with the stress of work.
Mindless chatter increases tips more than anything. Carry condiments like Parmesan cheese in your car so that it doesn't matter if you forget them. (the condiments one will really help turn some frowns into...less angry frowns.)
When out on double or triple deliveries never clarify which order is which by asking the customer if they ordered the item in question. Tried this once and the guy lied, so I gave soda to the wrong guy and had to make an extra trip to get it to the right guy (hopefully that last one made sense, pretty specific)
Depending on your area, be weary of robbery

I remember one of the hardest parts being finding peoples address markers, especially when oncoming cars are blinding you with headlights. One trick for making this easier is to focus on the white lines on the road, this will prevent light from getting in your eyes.
Realize that lots of streets have even numbers on one side, and odd number addresses on the other.
If there's no numbers around, people were never annoyed if I just knocked on their door and asked them IME. "oh thats down the road that ways." "thanks"

I was considering delivering pizza because money is tight but more than one local pizza guys have been shot around here so I decided not to. It can be a surprisingly dangerous job.

Never stops me 
I would get an extendable baton and clip it to your pants. A knife may look intimidating, but youd better be prepared to use it/get stabbed yourself if you pull it out.
A baton, on the other hand, is much less lethal and it doesnt really matter if you bwat the shit out of skmeone with it. Plus you get some space between you and the assailant.
Id say pepper spray is the best route

I did this for several years. Actually it was one of my favorite jobs. You listen to your music, smoke weed (if you want), you don't have a boss hanging over your shoulder. I liked it. But, gas was much cheaper then.
I would recommend learning the streets really well, figure out which side of the streets have even and odd numbers so that you are only looking for addresses on one side of the street. When you have multiple orders out on a delivery, figure out the quickest way to get them delivered. Don't deliver them in chronological order based on the time they were ordered. So, try to make a single loop with all the deliveries on it. Also, figure out which streets have the least stop signs/signals. This will save you a lot of time.

Keep a list of mileage and car repairs / tires for tax write offs if you use your own vehicle. Mileage should pay about 40 cents. That's if any of this ends up on paper, in which case you have the option to not file that income.
Mileage saved me a lot one year on a particular job. I wrote down the dates and installs and other jobs and kept a log. My CPA did actually want to see it before filing my stuff. You'll get more writing off mileage than you will paying gas.

Don't get attached. There's not much there.
Don't let the petty bullshit get to you. There are a lot of people that will take their difficult day/life out on you. There are also some people that are just outright douche-bags and don't respect service industry workers for some reason. 
You'll meet a lot of cool people too, but they're still surface level interactions. Always look at it with the perspective of "I don't know what's going on in this person's life to make them act this way and I don't care." Just move pizza.
That caring part is more crucial than you think. You have no idea how many shitty conversations I've avoided by showing indifference in the face neediness.If you're a manager, you gotta learn how to act like you care, but not as a pizza delivery boy. Normal people expect a tip to get a smile and repeat/fast service and nothing more.
When you get stiffed, always forgive, but never forget. Again, you don't know what's going on in their life, but if it happens often enough, they can wait or be forgotten.

When I drive I get 56 cents a mile. My tax person told me that is the Federal maximum you can write off on your taxes.

Yeah and you can request your employer for 56 cents a mile if their company vehicle breaks down (or it is deemed unsafe, e.g., bad tires) and you have to drive your personal vehicle.

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.

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 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.

404 said: 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.
i drive a lot too and have had my share of runnins with bad drivers, but never that extreme.. u must have done something to provoke these people.. or maybe it's just ur location?.. texas?.. nyc?..

I usually read their accents' origins; how good their English is (I studied to be an ESL teacher); how much they are regarding me and my day (a little empathy sends all the right cues); how rich they look; how much of a hurry they're in (they'll probably forget); if they're drunk, what kind of drunk; is their walet out? Are they talking about simple things so they can search for their walet and keep the conversation going.
There's a lot of cues that affect my service. Sometimes people use those cues to get special treatment from me, then don't tip too, so it is what it is. I'd never spit in someone's food or something, but if you are a known bad tipper, or look clueless about it, you're either going to get an abrupt "here." or "I'm sorry, sir, was there a problem with the service you received today?" from me and that's it.

I did it for a couple months.
I'd usually average a pizza every 45 minutes and I'd get less than $10 in mileage on an average evening shift. Averaged 2.xx a delivery for the tip. When all was said and done I didn't clear 10 an hour. Not worth it at all considering it's hard on your car (constant short trips and starting and stopping the engine) and you risk getting in an accident. Also most insurance companies won't cover you if you are driving for compensation.

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
It wasn't my system. It was in place before I ever worked there. That being said, I thought it was clever. I agree with the other folks, that people who don't tip, don't deserve the same quality service that people who do tip do.
Drunk people are often good tippers. College students are often bad tippers.
