Boost

With Boost, promotions may be applied to the fee at peak times in specific areas.
Cancelled orders
Some deliveries that are cancelled by the delivery partner will not be eligible for the full delivery fee.
There are of course times when it’s not possible to find the eater despite your best efforts, and this will not affect the delivery fee.

Payments FAQs
- When are payments made?
You can receive payments in three ways:
Weekly deposits directly to your bank account
Each weekly pay period begins on Monday at 4 AM and ends on the following Monday at 3:59 AM.
Instant cashout
Get your earnings within minutes when you cash out in the app. Cash out anytime, up to 5 times per day. Please note some banks may take more time to process deposits.
Two-day cashout (previously called Flex Pay)
Get your earnings within two business days when you cash out in the app before 14:00, Monday to Friday. Cash out anytime, once per day. Please note some banks may take more time to process deposits.
- Where can I check my payments?
You can see your payments in the daily summary in your app or on your partner dashboard. You’ll also get a pay statement every Tuesday.
- What are batched orders?
A batched order allows you to deliver two orders from the same restaurant at the same time.
These types of orders mean you can make more money in the time you’re online, but you’ll notice some differences in the payments for these deliveries:
- The two orders together only require one pickup, you will see this as a batch discount on the payment statement. The batch discount is equal to one pickup fee.
- The mileage fee you receive for the second delivery will be paid for the distance between the first and second drop-off locations.
- What is a boost feature?
Boost is a feature to help you position yourself in the best places at the best times.
With Boost, multipliers can be applied to your fare at peak times in specific areas. The busier the pickup area is expected to be, the higher the Boost. This means you will make more money per delivery when and where demand is expected to be high, and you will see the Boost applied to your fares in real time.
- What is a boost zone?
Cities are split into different zones to help you position yourself in the best places at the best times.
In your app, you’ll see a Live Map that shows the current Boosts for each zone. The multipliers will change based on the time of day, and the day of the week, to help show you when and where it's expected to be busiest. You can see what Boost are coming up by checking the Promotions hub in your app.
