Pros

Flexible hours Independent contractors Ability to work anywhere, any time

Cons

Inconsistent demand- the amount of money you make always depends on how busy you are and there is no way to get the app to give you more work. You must budget for gas, insurance, and maintenance. Depending on your personal situation this may work, but remember you are essentially letting DD utilize your vehicle to advance their bottom line.

Pros

You make tips and get to shop at a lot of stores. More areas are open for delivery. You don't go far and have specific zones, like cities, you stay in usually. They give you a special tier of being a Dasher when you're doing the best deliveries, they're called tiers from silver to gold to platinum. Platinum gives you the dash now button allowing you to dash whenever.

Cons

Sometimes the delivery will get marked as if you didn't deliver the item and it gets put on you. There's sometimes drastic waits between orders. The restaurant may be closed or out of the thing the customer ordered. You can't decline order or else the acceptance rating goes down and you'll lose the certain requirements to be a higher tier driver.
