Door Dash (or whatever food delivery service) on the side

Or even as a primary job. Anybody do it? Or have done it?
I was talking to the security guard here at the building and he says after work he does a handful of door dash runs per evening and that it makes for pretty good bonus money on the side. It got me thinking -- I could definitely use some extra money, so maybe I should consider doing it.
He did mention though, that for some odd reason, if you have an iPhone when you accept a delivery run that it doesn't tell you how far you have to go (or something to that effect). Which he said is a massive problem. However if you have an android, you can tell if your delivery is going to be worthwhile or not. So he stays where there is a lot of restaurants and does short, quick deliveries to maximize his profit.
I live in an area where there is a million restaurants so an extra $50 a day give or take sounds pretty good on top of what I'm surviving off of with my nine to five.
Anybody here do Door Dash or any of the others?

I've never done it, I know someone who does it full-time, and I live in a pretty rural area so things are quite spread out. She told me she averages $300 per week(plus tips), before gas expenses and she works 3-4 hours per day.
She is making more $ lately due to the pandemic.

I’ve worked delivery before. Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon from the hours of 5/6 - 9/10pm. Working for a local pizza shop, and due to it being smack dab in the middle of a very wealthy part of town I used bring in $40 - $100 total/nightly. It Was the most laid back job I’ve ever worked.
I would think doing runs for Door Dash might work the same, right?

i tried doordash, it was waste of time for me, but i got a free hot food toat bag so. you must have a bank account to register, so i signed up for bank account X_X, and you must give doordash and the bank all your personal info online. i did everything i could besides change my phone plan, but the app didn't work for me, i think because my phone doesn't have unlimited data.. even when connected to wifi, the app still didn't work.. it came on but never had any orders pop up.. later i got several txt messages from doordash, "please come back lots of activity in your area" blablah b;a you had your chance doordash, i'm moving on with my life.

I need to talk more with that security guard here who does it on the side, but he said it's great. He also said that there's an option for getting paid daily via direct deposit.

my brother started delivering for postmates and he can make about 50-70 bucks in a few hours. a lot of his orders are small and dont really have significant tips, but that doesnt mean it is always like that. he did say that he will receive tips the following days after he made the deliveries. multiple 2 and 3 dollar deposits lol.

You can tell it is by the calluses below the palmar creases of his pinky and ring finger.

I've been driving for Grubhub and Doordash for about 7 months now and it's the best job I've ever had so far. From my experience, you can make enough money from it for it to be your full time job, but it really depends on your area. In my area I can make about $100-$150 in 6 hours during the weekdays and about $200-$250 in 6 hours during the weekends. If your interested in making some extra money, just sign up for one of them to see it's worth doing in the area and to see if you like doing it.
