Another day w/ Postmates...w a revelation

in #postmates7 years ago

The revelation is...right now Postmates is dead in Miami for food delivery. UberEats has pretty much taken over the area. However, if Postmates extends their range down into homestead-they would make a mint. Now, if you are with Postmates in Miami, you will need patience. Google is getting back at Uber for allegedly stealing their driverless cars technology by investing 1B into Lyft. The goal is obviously to destroy the already internally crippled giant. So Postmates may bounce back strong...just not right now. And not until they spend more on improving the functionality of their platform for customers and ESPECIALLY drivers!
For now, however, UberEats has partnered with just about every main eatery and made sure their customers know the same efficiency of rides can be had for food delivery. The drivers are still getting screwed with no tip function and $4ish pay per short delivery (you don't know the distance till after you pick up and pay for the delivery).
I remind myself to have patience...and resign myself to Postmates as my car is actually too old to drive for UberEats.
