Welcome to Grab! LOL.
To be hone...Hi djpatesblog,<br /><br />Welcome to Grab! LOL.<br /><br />To be honest, I don't really know any tips. But I can share my experience with you, especially during the CB period.<br /><br />Since 2 weeks before the CB, orders have been low. I suspect its due to Grab adjusting the distance for walkers. I used to be able to get job up to 2km as a walker but since March till mid May, I'm only receiving jobs within 1km, which cut down A LOT of jobs opportunities.<br /><br />However, since the phrase 1 of reopening, they seems to extend that distance to within 1.5km and jobs started to increase. I usually work from 11:00 - 20:00ish with breaks in between! Lunch time (11:00 - 13:45) seems to be the best timing for me. I get lesser orders for dinner timing(17:00 - 19:50). Between 14:00 - 17:00 there is almost no orders or just 1-2 orders, if lucky. This is for weekdays, weekends are much more unpredictable!<br /><br />For me, I don't camp at huge malls as there seems to be a lot of competitions there. I'm pretty lucky that I've 2 fast food joints within my neighbourhood and many residential areas within 1.5-2km of those fast food joints, so I can stay in my neighbourhood and still get jobs!<br /><br />Many have advise walkers to head down to Downtown to try get more jobs, but I've never done that. So I don't know about the situations there. But it'll be worth a try if you have the time and fitness to stay there for few hours a day because you do get the extra zone boost by delivering there!<br /><br />To sum things up, from my experience, if you're not getting orders in those super "red-hot zones", it's probably due to competitions or that there isn't enough residential areas within walker's distance (I assume is within 1.5km) from those red hot zones!<br /><br />You can consider somewhere with enough food merchants (best if there is a fast food joint, esp McDonald's!) out of the red-hot zone and closer to residential areas!<br /><br />But this is my experience and may not be helpful for your situation! You do need to experiment around a bit more to get the hang of things!<br /><br />Good luck and stay safe!! :)Hiby IsRandomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12022123190726439047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670292526834731384.post-89478574164366350042020-06-19T16:10:27.141+08:002020-06-19T16:10:27.141+08:00Hi, I'm a new Walker for GrabFood.

Which locations are beneficial to walkers in your opinion? Would like some tips. thanks.djpatesbloghttps://t.me/Patesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670292526834731384.post-85038181436013118512019-10-22T01:58:12.839+08:002019-10-22T01:58:12.839+08:00Hmm... perhaps, because I was rejected once (becau...Hmm... perhaps, because I was rejected once (because of photo quality) and then had to resubmit so they take longer to go through my submission? Anyway, I think I did waited for some time before they get back to me about the rejection and then waited some more after I resubmitted. But no harm contacting them to find out more.<br /><br />About the refunding of the kit... I cannot answer that because I'm still doing GrabFood and not thinking to return them yet! But I'm going to guess that they probably won't be so "black heart" to not refund... anyway, just a reminder, you don't need to pay cash for your "deposit", but then you'll start with -$50 in your account. <br /><br />Hmm... as you know orders are pretty unpredictable so it'll be difficult to answer those questions. On days that demands are low, you can wait and wait for hours and maybe only get 1-2 orders only, on days with high demands, you can be getting 1 order after another!<br /><br />Unless you're staying close to malls or "big" (not those u-lu u-lu kind) or popular stores/hawkers/coffee shops or McDonald's, you can stay home/in your neighbourhood and still receive orders, else it will be quite rare. <br /><br />If no, you probably have to go out and hang around certain "hotspots" (marked in Red rectangles on the GrabFood app, usually around malls) to have a better chance of receiving orders. <br /><br />Also, the timing affects the demand, so your best bet is <br /><br />1) Get into hotspots (the redder the better!) <br />2) During lunch and dinner time (after 2 and 8pm is usually more quiet). <br /><br />Hope this helps.Hiby IsRandomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12022123190726439047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670292526834731384.post-11886743694042891412019-10-21T18:53:34.387+08:002019-10-21T18:53:34.387+08:00Hello,

I have yet to collect the grabfood walker kit and i would like to ask if the refundable deposit, is it truly refundable? or grab would cook up some story to make you keep it? <br /><br />In addition, do you travel around SG in seek of spike demands? Or staying within your neighbourhood is sufficient?<br /><br />Lastly, how many orders do you usually get in an hour? <br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br /><br />@ unknown: For me, it only took 20 minutes, from application online to receiving the confirmation email. <br /><br />I suggest you check with Grab asap!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670292526834731384.post-75306171912306320662019-10-21T13:30:32.429+08:002019-10-21T13:30:32.429+08:00Hi, I waited for around 1 month.
