Pizza delivery is it a good job?

With gas prices right now, is pizza delivery a good job? I only want to work for a month before school starts. and how hard is it? i dont know street names that well. Do you keep tips seperate or do you seperate it at the end of the shift. Also my car is not completly paid for yet.

You may find it very difficult to find a job for only a month. That would be your first obstacle.





Most people assume the delivery charge is a forced tip and because of this, tipping has gone down hill fast. From my experience, tips are not shared, what you earn is what you keep.





The added cost of insurance is also a factor. Generally the customers are pleasant, unless they have been waiting a long time or their pizza is cold, not necessarily always the drivers fault, but they will take it out on you. Not knowing streets very well will slow your delivery time. You will learn the streets, but probably not well enough in only a month.
Reply:If you are using your own car, you will have to put additional insurance on it to be covered for an accident, while working.


You need to know the addresses good, or be really handy with a map.


Tips always depend on the customer, some tip, some don't.


If your pizza company has a delivery charge, customers might not tip you.
Reply:In this day and age...it could be dangerous. Many get robbed. It is not a hard job. It is not a great job either-but it can be fun if you like driving around and the smell of pizza. Gas has come down quite a bit. Most places you keep your tips others pool the drivers and you split. You will learn the roads quickly..You put yourself at risk driving all the time or an accident or traffic ticket. I would try to get the job making the pizza instead.
Reply:it is if you want to live in a teeny apartment and live on cereal- you don't get paid alot
