Some are demanding that companies like Instacart, DoorDash and Grubhub take more precautions to protect their drivers — many of whom can't afford to stop working because of the coronavirus.
And across apps, there seems to be a push for customers to choose the"contactless delivery" option that asks drivers to leave food outside doors and on front porches.
"I'm not that close to [people] when I hand off the food and go," says Stephanie Session as she heads inside Patria Cocina to pick up an order. She started delivering for Uber Eats last year, but she says that since social distancing became encouraged, the volume of weekday orders is matching that of a busy weekend. And to her, more orders and better tips makes the work worth it.
It's unclear when restaurants will fully reopen. But workers like Session plan to keep delivering as long as orders keep coming in — and there may be more drivers soon.program for in-house restaurant employees who would like to start delivering during their unexpected time off. Back at Krog Street Market, as he carefully loads food into his car, Willis summarizes the situation:"People still gotta eat."
