Independent Couriers: Yes, absolutely! As an independent contractor, you are your own boss. You are free to deliver for other platforms simultaneously, accept or decline order offers, and manage your own schedule however you like.

Employed Couriers: No, during your scheduled shift hours, you are dedicated exclusively to Just Eat. Outside of your contracted working hours, secondary employment or gig work may be subject to your employment contract guidelines and local labor regulations.

Independent Couriers: You can apply to whatever zone(s) you wish to deliver in! If your preferred zone is closed, you can always choose to work in another location while you wait for your preferred zone to open.

Employed Couriers: You must apply directly for the specific city where you want to work. Because employee contracts and shift schedules are tied to city capacities, we cannot automatically transfer your contract to a different city if your preferred location is closed.

Independent Couriers: No. You control when and how you deliver.

Employed Couriers: Yes, you can submit your availability weekly so your local team can build your guaranteed work schedule. Once set, your weekly shifts are fixed, ensuring you get your required contracted hours every single week.

Independent Couriers: You're free to use any delivery gear you prefer, as long as it meets standard safety requirements. Please note that a delivery backpack is required to work as an independent courier. Just Eat branded gear is completely optional—though if you want a quick one-stop shop, equipment is available on our courier webshop after onboarding as a courier.

Employed Couriers: To ensure maximum safety and brand consistency on the road, you are required to use and wear the official Just Eat gear provided to you, in accordance with our internal guidelines.

As an Independent Courier, you earn per delivery by accepting orders sent to your app, with the potential to boost your earnings.
