Review:
Favor Delivery provides a $9 per hour base pay — a plus in the largely rotten-paying delivery marketplace. But that base pay only kicks in if you earn less than $9, including your tips, so the chance of earning much more is slim.
You use your own car, so you also have to account for gas and wear and tear, which eats into your net hourly wage. Moreover, you need to buy a cooler to keep meals fresh; and your Favor Delivery shirt.
However, unlike many delivery jobs, you at least know you’ll get the minimum pay for every hour that you work, regardless of whether or not there are deliveries during your shift.
Other apps we’d recommend: Amazon Flex, Lyft and Wingz.
What their drivers say:
“Favor itself doesn’t pay that well, mostly work for tips. Driving around uses a lot of gas and they do not reimburse you. Sometimes not worth the hassle if people have a small order.”
“This job is pretty neat like the other reviews had stated you get to pick your own hours. There is a catch. you get less then 10 min to pick your schedule before someone else takes it. So if you’re not clocked into the website and clicking as fast as your little fingers can click you don’t get work that week or the schedule you want. I have been averaging about 12 to 13 an hour. I recommend this only if you have other means of income.”
“Great for extra money on weekends. If you aren’t scheduled, you can still work, but you won’t be guaranteed the $9/hour. With the expansion to Favor more Runners have been hitting the streets of Dallas, unfortunately that means less shifts have been opening up. If you plan on working 5:00pm-10:00pm you’ll make at least $12/hour!”
This job is literally the most flexible job you would have in your lifetime. You choose your hours on the app and you also can clock out early if you want to. The money is mainly made from tips, but I always got a tip higher than 5. They also have something set up called guaranteed pay. That comes into play when you earn less than $9 an hour during scheduled shifts. There’s also something where you can just work whenever you want. The only problem is you won’t get that guaranteed pay.

I’m a favor runner and I make between $40-$60 a night. The most annoying part about it is that the deposit schedule is weird. So I’ll have $85 stacked up but I’ll get only a $30 deposit because it’s based on how much you made before 7:00 because that’s when the money is processed every night. Anything you make after 7pm goes on the next deposit. My area is kind of unique because we’re not a huge city but we’ve got 600,000 people and quite a few restaurants so I get plenty of orders. Sometimes the gas expense balances out, sometimes I make a profit. It just depends on the week and current gas prices
Me and my wife have been running favor for about 6 months now and if you really work it you can make good money for the ease of the job. In March we pulled in $2.3k in 3 weeks.
On average we do anywhere from $65 to $100 a day(depending on how much we work that day). And once in a while we get some great tips(just the other day we got our 1st $100 tip for a $40 order.
So there’s money to be made with favor if you’re willing to do it. Plus there’s alot of bonus things they do from helping with oil changes to an added insurance on your car if you get into a wreck.
