Working for food delivery apps has started to take on some mainstream appeal.
In this modern day and age, with everyone needing a side hustle or two to survive, delivering food has become the type of side hustle that almost anyone with a car (or in some places, even a bike or motorcycle) can make use of to earn some pretty serious cash (up to $200 a day in some places).
With that being said—it isn’t always easy to figure out which options work well, and which ones don’t.
Fortunately for you, however, we’ve decided to put together a list of the very best food delivery apps to work for this year—so that you can start chipping away at those bills and stack up some cold hard cash.
Let’s get into it.
1. DoorDash
This is probably the number-one food delivery service that most people think of, just because it’s so useful and universal.
If you want to learn how to make as much money as possible using this food delivery platform, check out this post.
But it’s pretty simple. As long as you’re at least 18 years old, and possess a car, scooter, or even a bike in some places, you’re pretty much good to go.
You do need a valid driver’s license number. But in exchange, you can earn anywhere from $2 to $10 per delivery for base pay, plus tips—and you can always see the amount before accepting the order.
2. Uber Eats/Postmates
Uber Eats actually purchased Postmates, so these two services are slowly integrating and becoming ‘one and the same.’
And they offer quite a few incentives for ambitious drivers to earn some cash.
You need to meet the minimum age requirements in your city. Plus, you need to have a valid U.S. driver’s license with at least 1 year of licensed driving experience (or 3 if you’re under 23).
You also need to have a valid vehicle—which basically means that you’ll need some kind of 4-door vehicle that was produced in 1998 or later.
3. GrubHub
GrubHub was one of the very first food delivery services on the scene. And as such, they’ve got a lot of territory and street cred to boast.
They service more than 4,000 U.S. cities, and are also partnered with more than 225,000 restaurants.
With GrubHub, you need to be at least 19 years old to drive, have a valid driver’s license and car insurance, and have a cell phone with a data plan (duh).
You earn pretty decent earnings on this app, and 15% tips are standard—so tipping is definitely encouraged.
It’s pretty awesome!
4. Instacart
With Instacart, which is basically a grocery delivery service, you can earn $15 to $20 per hour, and can choose between being an in-store shopper or a full-service shopper—so it has a few different methods that you can utilize to earn money.
In-store shoppers basically shop for groceries, and prepare the orders to get picked up.
Full-service shoppers, on the other hand, shop for groceries and deliver the order.
So in either case, you can earn some extra money. Plus, the app is easy to use.
How To Choose The Best Delivery App To Work For
If you want to make some serious extra money delivering food with one of these apps, but still aren’t sure which specific app to try, here’s some advice.
Start with the app with the lowest barrier to entry for you, sign up for it, and give it a try.
If more than one app would be easy for you to sign up for, then start with one, try it for a few days until you get the hang of it, then fire up another one and try that one as well.
What you’ll probably find is that one or two of these apps will get a lot more traffic and business in your local area than the others—thus, those should probably end up being the ones to use.
But if you’re really ambitious, you may want to go ahead and keep using multiple apps at the same time.
As long as you can make your time on the orders and keep them all straight, this is likely to keep you as busy as possible, and is highly likely to result in you making more money for your time.
Conclusion
There you have it!

The real secret is to get out there and give it a try!
