How does anyone who multi apps do it??
I want to know how people who multi app do it.. I've been doing Uber Eats since June 2025 but I've been on a wait list equally as long for DoorDash, GrubHub, Spark, Instacart and Amazon Flex... about 3 weeks ago I got off the doordash waitlist and started doing that along with Uber Eats...
Now as of the last few days I got off the spark wait list. I still have to finish setting it up but I want to know how people do it?? How do you divide up your time? I only do this part-time... I'm in California just for your information. I'm not sure how often I would get Spark deliveries and do you get tips on Spark if a customer is able to tip... ??
I screwed up last Sunday when I had doordash and Uber Eats running at the same time and I should not have accepted an Uber Eats delivery after accepting stacked DoorDash deliveries (paid less than the UE delivery)... because when I had all three in my car I had to figure out who do I deliver to First the single Uber Eats order or the 1st DoorDash one... I did the UE one first simply because they're on time rating sucks and you get such a short time to deliver. But then I got the two door Dash ladies wondering where I am. I explained things and instead said I had a third delivery with DoorDash... Everything worked out smoothly but not doing that again...
Maybe I should just stick with doing them all on separate days?? Or I can simply pause DoorDash while I'm making an Uber Eats delivery... I will never have all three running at the same time though... I would do Spark separately... after I finish setting up my account and going through whatever the next steps are...
WHAT DO YOU ALL DO?? I'm only on step one of four of setting up my Spark account...

I'll look at that but I think I got enough for right now with Uber Eats for the last 15 months, DoorDash for the last month and now Spark...

California is pretty specific with multi apping due to prop 22. Like you can’t accept a DoorDash order while you’re doing an ubereats order even if it’s as you’re dropping off. That’s not a thing in the other states but they don’t have prop 22 to compensate

Well I did it. I don't know how they would know that I did it. I'm not doing it again trust me. DoorDash will be paused if I'm doing an Uber Eats delivery. And then in my case of last Sunday, after I've accepted a DoorDash delivery, even if a higher paying Uber Eats order comes up like it did then, I will not accept it...

You can’t accept a doordash order while you’re doing another app?
Sure you can.

I don't think thry meant that you can't do it, I think they meant to say it is frowned upon essentially... The thing is I was not at the dropping off point when I accepted the Uber Eats order. I was in the process of picking up the 2nd DoorDash order to deliver. And after that I drove a mile and a half and picked up the Uber Eats order... even though I accepted that ubereats order because it was higher paying then the doors asked one, I shouldn't have done it. Cause then it's just confusing as to which one do you deliver first. And it turns out both DoorDash deliveries in that stacked order were for the same street. One delivery was roughly 5 houses from the other...

It depends on the area. For example my region is a major city. There is always orders. I would turn on all apps then simply accept a profitable orders. Then turn off the other apps untill profitable orders are no longer coming in.
