If delivery costs the same as an average Uber ride, say, $10, it makes every order under $100 unprofitable.

What you pay as an Uber passenger is not even remotely close to what Uber pays its drivers. So a $10 cost for a food delivery may not be realistic.

How much an Uber trip costs Uber depends on a lot of factors, but I can tell you from experience that very often if a passenger paid $10 for a trip, the driver saw far less than $5 of it. That's why they're always angling for tips.

When I drove for Uber, a very common run was from the airport to a specific large convention hotel. The trip was maybe five miles. The passengers often complained about having to pay $25-$40 or more for the short trip. As a driver, I got maybe $3.50 out of it.

What's the big difference for a driver? It's still the same time, same gas and miles put on the car. True, the food won't throw up in his car, but he should get out of the car to pick up the order, often has to wait at the counter.
