Should I accept this Grubhub order?
Compare Grubhub offers using payout, pickup miles, total time and vehicle costs. Work through an example before deciding whether the job is worth it.
Should I accept this Grubhub order?
Start with the complete job, not just the displayed payout. Review restaurant pickup, waiting, delivery distance and repositioning. Compare what remains after vehicle costs with your own time and earnings target.
A fictional Grubhub example
Suppose the offer pays $12, the complete driving estimate is 9 miles and the total commitment is 35 minutes. At an illustrative $0.35 per mile, vehicle cost is $3.15. That leaves $8.85, or $15.17 per hour for this example before taxes and other costs. These are invented inputs, not typical earnings or a recommended cost rate.
What should I check before deciding?
- Use only the payout and tips actually known; keep uncertain amounts separate.
- Include pickup and likely return miles, not just the displayed delivery or passenger distance.
- Include unpaid waiting, shopping or loading time where relevant.
- Check deadlines, vehicle suitability and your existing commitments yourself.
An estimate cannot determine eligibility, predict an undisclosed route or guarantee an offer will remain available. For a block or scheduled ride, compare a range of possible miles and time.
How do I track miles from this work?
Keep one shift record across apps and count each driven mile once. Read the multi-app mileage tracking guide, then review actual miles against your estimate.
