How else would the driver get an order? Start calling up restaurants and asking if they need a driver? Well, most restaurants only deliver through the apps now since it’s cheaper than paying an employee. The gig economy changed the game completely and relies on cheap unscheduled labor. The “perks” are supposed to be: Be your own boss, pick your own hours, work only as much as you want. In reality, they need to work 60+ hour weeks to survive or have another job that pays more.
