Answer 1

I've worked at a Dominoes and it usually depends on the gas prices, I'm from WY and gas is around $3.00 a gallon and they are getting fifty cents a delivery, so thats a ball park mark you could go by

Answer 2

I delivered for 3 shops over a ten year period. The shops around the campuses where I got 80 deliveries in a ten hour shift I got 50 cents per delivery for gas, food, drugs ( I'm kidding)etc. And $4.00 per hour. I walked out with 100-130 per night. TELL YOUR NEW BOSS THAT WAS IN 1990!
My brother worked for a shop in our home podunk town where the people lived with okay incomes. Hey, enough to blow $20-30 on a meal ( heck, I can eat all week for that...they could too) Anyway, he would get 11-12 deliveries in a 6-7 hour shift and his boss paid him $1.50 per delivery for gas etc. and $7.00 per hour.
NOW figure this too. TIPS. Okay, yes I had 80 deliveries but my orders of food were maybe 6-10 bucks. Sometimes I'd get 1-2 dollar tips, but the times I'd get 50 cents somehow made it all come out to 40-50 dollars in tips. So you figure 80 deliveries ( now that was a goood night, our regular drivers delivered maybe 45-50 pizza's in 8 hours at $4 an hour+$40 for deliveries+tips,average maybe 75 cents-dollar. It was pretty good.
Meanwhile my brother sat in the shop in our little hometown, watched T.V., didn't have to top pizza like I did, and wash pans like I did, AND got 2-3 BUCKS on each delivery.
I went through 5 cars in one year, he had 1 car. You can figure it out but MAKE HIM PAY HOURLY + GAS OR DON"T DO IT. UNLESS HE GIVES YOU A W2 AND NOT A 1099 (self employed) AND he pays at least 9 dollars an hour + tips. Really, those tips are NOT a bargaining chip for him-they are YOURS not his!
I hope I was a help. Be careful, MAKE DROPS IN THE SAFE!! ALWAYS BE SURE YOU CALL BEFORE YOU LEAVE IF YOU ARE IN THE LEAST BIT NERVOUS ABOUT THE AREA- AND TRUST THAT VOICE or REFUSE TO TAKE IT- IT IS YOUR RIGHT. SCREW WHAT ANYBODY TELLS YOU . YOU BE SAFE!! THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE.
Do that and it can be a great job.

Answer 3

I delivered pizza about 18 yrs ago. I worked 3 nights a week and was paid $30 for a 4 hour shift + tips and $7.50 for gas for each night I worked. I usually walked away with about $60-$70 each night. And that was 18 years ago when gas was $0.97 a gallon , not bad for extra cash. I would look for another shop that pays for gas.

Today, the best way would be to find a shop that will at least give you the Federal Allowance of $0.41 per mile.

Answer 4

It would depend on how much you make per hour and how many deliveries you make in a day as a factor for switching. I do think you should be reimbursed for gas. I would say by milage 10 cents or 15 cents depending on the expense of the state you live in.

Answer 5

A proper means would be to keep a logbook in the vehicle, in which the odometer reading would be recorded at the beginning and end of each shift. The IRS prescribes a standard amount per mile for business driving; it is now about 41 cents per mile. The owner should reimburse you periodically for mileage in that amount.

Answer 6

Unless you have a huge delivery area and work a long shift and/or drive a 10mpg car I don't see how you should be worried about getting reimbursed. I ate up quite a bit of fuel on some nights, but those nights I also made nearly 100 bucks....maybe 20 of it went to fuel and my truck only got 16mpg. Papa John's gives $1 per order that goes out the door, so if you took 20 deliveries and got stiffed on every one of them you'd still get 20 bucks.

Answer 7

i gets a commission 7% of my order finished. If i exploit a vehicle topper i'm getting and extra suitable a million%. i will additionally get an extra %a million if I take extra suitable than 20 deliveries on my shift. after all of this I well-known approximately $a million.25 in keeping with delivery. I agree that drivers could desire to get carry of extra in keeping with delivery provided that gas is so severe. it may additionally be advantageous if human beings took gas costs under consideration whilst they tip. maximum human beings seem to tip the comparable quantity now as they did 5 years in the past. gas costs have extra suitable many situations over that era. i in my opinion think of that pizza delivery is extremely not around plenty longer. Pizza places won't be in a position to deal with to pay for to pay drivers $5 in keeping with delivery and purchasers look unwilling to tip. Its almost impossible to make descent money as a motive force.

Answer 8

Only place I know around here is around 50 cent a mile.

Answer 9

44.5 cents per mile. The business rate.

Answer 10

You usually get back from the shop...thrity cents per gallon of use. Its very low..
