Toronto Star reporter Ghada Alsharif spent six weeks working as an Uber Eats food courier and made a shockingly low wage. Uber says this experience was ‘atypical’ — but workers say differently.
Also, they handle multiple orders. So, by the time you get your food it’s lukewarm at best, but likely cold and soggy.

Yeah the cold and soggy is my main criticism. At that point I’d rather cook
Even pizza shops with their own drivers. I’d usually prefer to go get it myself so it’s as fresh as possible.
