Start with the whole trip
A $9 offer can be reasonable when the pickup is close and the route is fast—or weak when several unpaid miles and a long restaurant wait come first.
- How far must you drive before paid work begins? Count the route to the restaurant.
- How many total minutes and miles will the job consume? Include pickup, waiting, and delivery.
- What remains after vehicle cost? Use a realistic cost for your own vehicle.
Displayed payout − estimated vehicle cost = estimated profit before tax and other expenses
No single rule fits every market
Traffic, parking, restaurant delays, return travel, taxes, and your vehicle all matter. Dollars per mile is useful, but it should be considered with dollars per hour and where the delivery leaves you.
How ProfitPin helps
When an eligible offer is visible, ProfitPin organizes available payout, pickup, mileage, time, and cost evidence into a TAKE, REVIEW, or SKIP view. It never accepts or declines work. You remain responsible for the decision.
