On-Call Delivery Driver (Food and Alcohol)

$3.49 to $17.49 per completed delivery, based on the delivery distance our system calculates, plus 100% of tips.

This is per-delivery compensation, not hourly. There is no base wage or hourly guarantee.

Pay scales with distance, up to a 15 mile maximum. It is based on the calculated distance, not the route you choose to drive. You see the pay amount before you accept the order. Tips are paid to the driver in full.

Weekly. Each work week runs Saturday through Friday and is paid the following Friday by direct deposit.

11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Sunday through Thursday
11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Friday and Saturday

Open On-Call. You submit the days and hours you are generally free. Dispatch contacts you when orders come up in your area. No advance reservation needed.

Priority On-Call. You reserve blocks of availability ahead of time and receive first offer on orders during those blocks, which generally means more order volume and less waiting.

Both options carry an 80% acceptance expectation on orders offered during the availability you have submitted. Acceptance is measured as a lifetime average across all orders offered to you. On-time delivery performance is tracked as well.

Restaurants and customers depend on the windows you give us being covered, so submit only availability you can realistically work. What you submit is entirely your choice. We only ask that it be accurate.

Cosmic does not require exclusivity. You are free to continue driving for other delivery services. Orders are routed by a dispatcher and released when they are close to ready, which reduces waiting at pickup.
