Well, I guess I have officially joined the 21st century Gig economy. A few months back I set up a Dasher account on Door Dash just to see how it worked.
On New Year's Eve, we were bored of the second run of the NYE TV show, so Tree and I went dashing mostly for the drive and did a couple deliveries. We had fun.
So I've been doing a few more this week when I had an hour or two to spare. It's an impressively efficient system considering how new it is to our area and the variety of restaurants that use it, even in my small town.
I've put in about 6.5hrs (mostly NY Day) and made an average of $CAD20/hr inc. tips. Not sure if it's going to be a solid thing, but I guess my foot is in the door.
If you're interested, let me know. Happy to answer questions about it. I've done tech consultant/help kind of work off and on for over 20 years and have had a business name associated with that for most of that time but it's never been more than the odd job here and there. That was kind of the 20th century version of the side hustle.
This app-based stuff is interesting.
