  • All I would like is:

    a) ability to go on holiday without wrecking your stats. Holiday pay would be great but I'm fine with a system where you just work more in the run up and take the loss of earnings.
    b) minimum pay when it's quiet. There is no downside (for Deliveroo) to overstuffing booking slots and having riders sitting around earning £0/hr - in fact it's better for them to have loads of riders waiting around to reduce waiting times for customers. Just pay us a token £5-8/hr or something and I'll be fine with it.
    c) some sort of reassurance about when and how we can be sacked. And it would be nice if they sided with riders over restaurants in a he-said-she-said scenario rather than just sacking us straight off the bat.

    I don't think that's too much to ask. Everything else is fine. The shift system is great for me how it is.

  • Seems fair enough and probably typical.

    Can I say how I see it?

    a) Stats don't matter. Go on your holiday.
    b) There is a downside for Deliveroo: riders will not ride for them and will do something else instead.
    c) You can't be sacked. You're just not a chosen provider any longer. Go and work through another app (or for a restaurant) that better manages this sort of thing #freemarket

    All jobs at the bottom are shit. I am WAYWAYWAYWAYWAY more concerned with non-englishspeaking cleaners being bussed around and truly grossly exploited by 'agencies'. Kitchen/waiting staff in Indian restaurants (and living upstairs) and workers in the sex trade. There are genuine employment crimes commonplace but they don't have pull on gofundme, crowdjustice etc.
