Find a street that has a lot of popular restaurants. You don’t get paid for the miles to the shop, only to the customer. Most fast food chains don’t pay very much, so try shooting for the actual restaurants. Call ahead to get them started on your order while your driving. #Postmates hacks #gig working #tips&tricks
