Deliveroo is a food delivery service that allows people to order food from places that don’t normally offer a delivery service, e.g. KFC, Nandos, FiveGuys etc. Delivery is done by people on scooters, bikes and even skateboards, they delivery person gets roughly £3.50-£4.50 per delivery depending on distance etc.
We’ve spoiled the video by giving you the answer in the photo above but that’s primarily because it wasn’t really a fair test or a full time 8 hour a day style job so the £75.00 he made was across 16 deliveries, we’ve seen some people do 16 deliveries in one day before.
