How to earn more per shift: routes, peaks and smart habits

A courier's earnings depend not only on the number of hours but on how smartly you ride them. A few habits will bring you more completed orders in the same time.

Ride during peaks

Most orders come around lunchtime (11–14) and in the evening (17–21), and even longer at weekends. Riding in these windows means less waiting and more delivering. Outside peak times, stay close to restaurant hubs.

Stick to dense zones

A centre packed with restaurants and customers means short routes and quick follow-up orders. The shorter the trips between pick-up and drop-off, the more you get done.

Cut dead time

• After a delivery, move back towards a restaurant hub, not to the edge of the map.
• Plan your navigation while waiting for the food, not on the way.
• Know the shortcuts, pedestrian zones and courtyard entrances — they save minutes.

Have your gear ready

A charged phone and a power bank, a quality thermal bag and some change at hand. Nothing cuts your earnings more than a dead phone in the middle of a shift.

Lower commission = more for you

The lower the fleet's commission, the more of every crown you earn stays with you. In the Manta Driver fleet it is a fixed 7% — one of the lowest on the market, so every shift counts for more.
