According to the Labor Daily, "At noon when the sun is shining, nine times out of ten the electric cars that are still speeding on the road are delivering food." Some consumers joked. In the hot summer, the delivery guy has also become the busiest employee, and the order volume has doubled. Although it has brought about an increase in income, the work intensity has also increased significantly.
8 orders will be sent in one hour during peak hours.
"Ding Dong", a beep sounded, and Wang Jian, the takeaway brother of Ele.me, had 8 takeaway orders in his mobile phone. At noon, it was the busiest time of his day. While staring at the mobile phone in his hand, holding the incubator in one hand, he strode forward. After a while, he came to a roast wax shop. A round table in front of the shop was full of takeaways that had already been numbered. He compared the numbers, picked up the packaging bag and rushed to the next store non-stop. In just 5 minutes, he picked up 5 takeaways from nearby stores. The incubator could no longer hold all the food. He picked up the box and carried a few plastic bags of takeout in each hand, as if he had just returned from the market.
"All eight takeaways must be delivered within an hour, so we must hurry up," he said as he walked out of the Sun Moonlight Center and came to his electric car. He loaded a few takeaways into the incubator at the back of the car, and carried a cup of milk tea and a box of bento into a commercial building nearby.
Takeout has been stolen, delivery has been rushed
Sweat soaked the work clothes, making the blue clothes appear two colors. The cycling helmet was covered on the head, like a big steamer, and from time to time, beads of sweat could slide down from the forehead. Wang Jian said that time was tight, so he didn’t bother to unbutton and take off his hat, because he would be riding again in a while.
"Hello, your takeout has arrived, and I’m at the door of the office." Wang Jian called the user’s phone and greeted politely. After the meal was delivered, he didn’t forget to remind him, hoping to get a good review.
"I’m lucky today. In the past, we were not allowed to take the passenger elevator in this commercial building." Wang Jian, who had finished delivering food, muttered. A few days ago, he was rushed to the back entrance of the freight elevator by the building’s security guards on the grounds of affecting his image while delivering food in the building. "There is only one freight elevator in this building, and it often takes a few minutes to wait. Once, he had to run up to the 10th floor by himself in a hurry." He said that on another occasion, when delivering food in an upscale commercial building, he was asked to change his work clothes before going upstairs. "So there is a piece of clothing on the car. If the customer does not want to go downstairs to pick it up, he can only change his clothes."
The food delivery process is not easy, and sometimes there are bad things. Wang Jian said that just two days ago, he put a few takeaways in the incubator in the car and went upstairs to deliver the food by himself. When he went downstairs, he saw that the box was empty. "It only took two minutes before and after, and it was stolen. I had to go back to the store and buy it again with my own money according to the list, and then go to deliver it." He said that he remembered that after the staff of a restaurant heard about the incident, they took the initiative to waive the meal fee for him, which made him quite touched. "I felt very warm at that time."
The order doubled and the income exceeded 10,000 yuan
After entering July, Wang Jian’s order volume has continued to increase. According to him, the order volume has doubled in the past two days. "Orders come in one after another from 10 o’clock in the morning until 2 o’clock in the afternoon. In the evening, it starts at 5 o’clock and lasts until 10 o’clock." He said that now he delivers more than 50 takeout orders every day, and at the end of the day, there is only one word "tired" left.
There are many orders in summer, and the income of the takeaway brother has also been improved to a certain extent. Wang Jian said that his usual income is about 7,000 yuan per month, and entering July, the monthly income can exceed 10,000 yuan. "On the one hand, the summer vacation is coming, and the order will definitely increase, and the weather is hot, so everyone is reluctant to go out. Business building orders surge on weekdays, and on weekends, they are mainly residential buildings. Some people without elevators can only climb the stairs layer by layer, and now it takes less than a minute to go up and down the sixth floor." He told reporters that for every order he sent, he could get about 7 yuan, and if he received praise, he could increase it by 2 yuan. In this sweaty summer, he actively took orders and accumulated his income little by little.
High temperature benefits are 500 yuan per month
After two years as a takeaway boy, Wang Jian said that his entry into the industry was also a chance. Born in 1996, he came to the big city to pursue his dream and worked in a factory at first. By chance, a neighbor in the rental house told him that his father was delivering takeout and could earn more than 6,000 yuan a month. He didn’t believe it at first, so he became a takeaway boy with the idea of giving it a try. "At that time, I just thought that the elderly could earn 6,000 yuan, and I could definitely do better. I didn’t expect that it was really like a duck to water." He smiled shyly.
Today, his business ability has been continuously strengthened, and he has become a three-star delivery staff. What makes him feel even more warm is that in the hot summer, the company provides employees with a monthly high temperature fee of 500 yuan, in addition to salt soda water every day, and there are also supplies for cooling down at each site. "Although the summer work is very hard, and the order volume has also increased sharply, the real summer guarantee makes every delivery brother’s work very practical." He said that this makes his delivery more motivated.
