Food delivery on Airtasker goes beyond just dropping off a single meal. Customers post tasks for a variety of needs, giving you different ways to earn money.

Takeaway and restaurant delivery

The most common jobs you’ll find on Airtasker are for picking up and delivering meals from local restaurants and takeaway shops. Customers might need a pizza delivered, a box of donuts picked up for a special event, or a large catering order delivered to an office. Some people post these tasks because they’re outside of a restaurant’s normal delivery area, or they need a last-minute delivery for a special occasion. These jobs are a great way to earn money because they are often straightforward and can be completed quickly.

Grocery delivery and shopping

Many people use Airtasker to find a personal shopper and delivery driver to do their grocery shopping. You can earn money by either picking up a pre-paid Click & Collect order or by doing the full shop yourself from a customer’s list. This type of work requires good communication, as you might need to check with the customer if an item is out of stock. You’ll often find jobs for specific stores like Woolworths, Coles, or Aldi. You can find these opportunities on the grocery delivery jobs page.

Specialised and large-order delivery

You can also find jobs for more specific food-related deliveries. This can include delivering a cake for a birthday, a gift basket, or a large platter for a special event. These jobs might pay more because they require extra care to ensure the items arrive safely. Sometimes, you might even find jobs for delivering food that needs to be kept at a specific temperature, which can attract a higher price.

Courier and small parcel delivery

While this isn’t strictly food delivery, many customers use Airtasker’s food delivery category to find a Tasker who can also handle small, non-food items. For example, you might be asked to pick up a document, a set of keys, or a small box and deliver it urgently. These jobs are great for filling out your schedule and can be a good way to earn extra cash between larger delivery tasks. Explore these on the courier services jobs page.

Tips to increase your Food Delivery income

To maximise your earnings as a food delivery Tasker, it’s all about providing a great service and being prepared.

The best way to make more money is by being reliable and professional. Arriving on time, communicating clearly with the customer, and making sure their food is handled with care will lead to those all-important 5-star reviews. When you have glowing reviews and a high completion rate, customers are more likely to pick you for future jobs. You can also increase your income by offering a wider range of services, such as being a personal shopper or offering to pick up multiple items from different locations. Finally, make sure to set up notifications on the Airtasker app to be alerted about jobs in your area as soon as they are posted.
