I don't take handouts  I work.

if you can find those uber or lyft signup bonuses it would be much more rewarding financially to you. guy who comes in my place a lot signed up as a driver and met the bare minimum to be considered active when they were giving away $500-$1000 signup bonuses. Not sure what's out there now, but much more rewarding than delivering food I think.

 

Girl I talk to who is waiting to pass her anesthesia nursing exam - whatever the f that exam is - has been forced to deliver for  a couple months to make some cash. she makes decent money working for grubhub/doordash type place, but she's always working 12 hours to get her money.

Yeah, you're probably right... but having a bunch of people get into my car just doesn't appeal to me.  I figured delivering food would be better, but maybe I'll give Uber a try just to see how I like it.  It wouldn't hurt trying it out, I guess.

Kinger why dont you buy a food truck.  Take some of grandmas recipes and sell enchiladas and tacos.

food trucks/restaurant business in general is not something i recommend to anyone who doesn't have a very good chef/cook already as well as someone who is very good with finance/numbers/projections/forecasting. 

 

one of the tougher industries out there because of all the competition. a lot of places bleed money for years before turning a profit. lots of hours, and very little reward the first year or two. if you survive the first couple of years, you can make a good amount (10% of your yearly revenue is solid) after you pay employees. eliminate most employees and work even more yourself and you can get that number closer to 20-30% for something like a food truck.

plus you can make money under the table by altering the books and paying less in taxes

not sure about Phoenix, but E-Mail uber support and ask them what their sign-up bonuses are there. Usually they give you a decent chunk up front.
