I just can’t imagine anyone paying $8.49 or up for delivery in this area when traffic and parking isn’t an issue. (Not a big city)

i really think uber needs to change its “on demand” staffing model for the eats service. Funnel more trips to fewer drivers with smaller fees/payouts but ultimately earn them more per hour. The algorithm could cue sending orders to restaurants. My wait is never less than 30 to 40 min anyway and the drive is always the shortest part, by far.
You are aware that nobody is forcing you to use UberEats, right? There are countless food delivery services available.
