Eventhough that was an all remote position, I felt like working in a callcenter at times as managers are tracking our activity and always monitoring our attendance and schedule adherance. My daily targets were not easy to achieve and were considered as a pressure on us. Besides that, there were so few benefits for Deliveroo employees. Salary on it own does not make a good job.

flexible hours

Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Cork, County Cork - 7 November 2022

flexible hours, but working in also bad weather, support is unhelpful sometimes, you work on your own vehicle, more suitable as part time, have a nic colleague riders

Like cycling through city but...

Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 19 August 2022

I like working for Deliveroo, you can choose your working hours, go for holidays whenever you want but earnings are low (year 2021 was great for earning) especially during warm months, its hard to make decent money even by working 7 days a week so you don't make enough to take days off if you need to coz you don't get pay for sick leave or holidays. One of the reasons for low income is that you have lot of people driving for Deliveroo and many people rent accounts to people who can't work full time and nothing is done about it :/.

Pros

Working your own hours

Cons

Low income

Slavery at its best.

Operations liaison and rider (Current Employee) - Cork - 3 May 2020

Used to be great to work here as a driver/rider. But now it's just slavery. Seems they have lost interest in welfare of driver/riders. 6-8e per hour in Cork Except at the weekend when u can make a wage. Too many riders.

Zero job security.

Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Dublin - 23 February 2020

After having worked with deliveroo for almost 3 years, they closed my account. Trying to talk to rider support about it, I went round in circles going nowhere. Seriously unfair. I did nothing wrong. Then all of a sudden I had no job and no reference. P***Poor show.

Empresa de fácil acesso mas difícil de trabalhar

Entregador (Former Employee) - County Dublin - 4 February 2020

É uma experiência agradável trabalhar nesta empresa, o problema são as demandas que não necessariamente são ligadas a empresa e sim aos restaurantes, você é sempre dependente destas "chamadas".

fun workplace

Rider (Current Employee) - Dublin - 26 March 2019

As the same time it is fun to work on the streets is dangerous too. Bus drivers don't respect you as well as taxi drivers doesn't and when you are injuried because of working to hard deliveroo don't help with anything.

When I was working for Deliveroo my job would consist of being able to pick up and drop off food deliveries between the restaurant, cafes or shops in the city of Dublin. It was an experience to deliver food around Dublin and to respond to the different routes all over the city also to know your back yard. Over-all, I would recommend this job to anyone how has an in cycling.

Pros

long hours

A Great & Bad Job at the Same Time

Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Dublin - 11 February 2018

+Great flexible work. +Minimum interaction with customers. -Low pay. -Competition from other Deliveroos. -Rain and wind if cycling. -Waiting times between deliveries. -People who live extremely far away. In the end, you'll love it and hate it at the same time but at least you'll be fit at the end of the day if you do the job on a bike. Use my referral code to get extra pay after a number of deliveries: https://roo.it/CH162344 Code = CH162344

Inconsistent

Cycle Deliverer (Former Employee) - Dublin - 8 June 2017

The work is hard-going and enjoyable, but the time spent sitting around waiting for a delivery to pop up is painful. There's nothing I hate worse than to get a job where I spend most of my time doing nothing, especially in a job based on commission.

Pros

work for yourself

Cons

inconsistent work patterns

Helpful and rewarding

Deliveroo Driver (Current Employee) - Dublin - 11 April 2017

Typical day at work I would get dressed in my Deliveroo gear. Hop on my bike and head to town. I would turn on my gps on my phone, and wait for upcoming deliveries. I would then accept the delivery, and head to the restaurant, following the mdirections on the map. I would pick up the food, and head to the customer's address, which would show on the app itself. Once I arrived at the house, I would ring the bell, hand the food to the customer, hop back on my bike, and head back to the town direction. I would wait until another delivery would become available. After a few hours, when I thought I did enough cycling and deliveries, I would normally head back home. I worked for Deliveroo as a driver. I was in charge of delivering the food from the restaurant to the customer's house. Throughout my experience there, I learned many skills, such as: Customer service skills. Comnmunication skills. Problem solving skills. Technical skills. Puncutality skills. I was not strictly supervised by my manager. My work was followed by the deliveroo office from my phone. therefore I had the gps on all the time. If I had any problems or complications during the shift, I would ring the customer service which would resolve the issue immediately. In my opinion the hardest part of the job is the fact that I was quite far from the workplace itself, therefore my shifts were limited to 3 hours per session. Another hard aspect of the job would be that you are limited by elements aspects. If it rained, I was not fully able to work, as the rain made it too Dangerous. -

Pros

Tiring and Far

Cons

Flexible

deliveroo

driver (Current Employee) - Dublin - 20 March 2017

is a good company to work with because you can choose when to work how to manage your schedule. is a fun place to work half of drivers in the area sign up, Deliveroo will be forced to recognise the union. It will be the first collective bargaining agreement in the “gig economy”, setting a precedent for others to demand further rights.
