Hey everyone,
I’m about to start doing food delivery around Newcastle and just wanted to get some local insight before I fully commit.
For those of you who’ve done it here — is DoorDash or Uber Eats better in terms of earnings, consistency, and overall experience in Newcastle NSW?
A few things I’m curious about:
• Which app tends to have more orders / less downtime?
• Average hourly earnings (roughly)?
• Are there certain areas or times that are way better than others?
• Any issues with parking, pickups, or certain restaurants?
Also, I’m brand new to delivery driving, so any general tips would be massively appreciated — stuff like:
- Best times to work
- How to maximise tips/orders
- Whether multi-apping is worth it here
- Anything you wish you knew when you started
Looking forward to delivering your 1am drunk HSP order..
Thanks in advance!
