Types of people who love earning with food delivery
Dec 27, 2023
Food delivery is an earning opportunity that brings together people from all walks of life. It’s convenient, flexible, and easy to start — such qualities will likely appeal to most.
While our courier partner community is diverse, specific types of individuals find this earning opportunity especially appealing.
These people enjoy making money with food delivery because it seamlessly aligns with their lifestyle.
Signing up as a courier is often a top choice for students and young people. It’s easy to get started with and has minimal requirements.
As long as you’re legally eligible and have a bike, scooter, or car, you’re good to go—unlike other opportunities that typically require extensive interviews and prior experience.
Students also love the flexibility that comes with food delivery.
They can earn money without compromising their studies, hobbies, or social time—fitting perfectly with their dynamic lifestyles.
Parents
Raising a child is a significant financial responsibility, and the costs are constantly increasing. People with kids need earning opportunities that ease the financial pressure.
However, it’s not just any earning opportunity that fits the bill. Parents often need a schedule tailored to their family commitments.
That’s why many are signing up as couriers. With the ability to choose when and how much to deliver, they can easily balance family priorities, attend crucial events, and adapt their hours to their children’s needs.
People with other commitments
Life’s all about exploring new things—whether pursuing your dream or diving into your favourite hobby.
Many people hesitate to pursue their dreams due to financial uncertainty, which is understandable. However, taking risks becomes much more manageable when you have a guaranteed way to earn money if needed.
Earning with food delivery is a safety net, allowing you to experiment with your passions without fearing financial instability.
That’s why many courier partners are pursuing dreams in sports, cooking, arts, and more.
Freelancers also enjoy earning with delivery. While freelancing offers flexibility, it can sometimes be unpredictable.
Signing up as a courier partner provides a quick and flexible way to earn cash whenever other income sources dry up.
Expats
Moving to a new country is always exciting but comes with challenges, the main one often being a stable income stream.
Food delivery gives expats peace of mind, knowing that signing up as a courier is straightforward and offers quick cash.
With Bolt Food, courier partners get paid weekly — an ideal solution for expats needing to swiftly cover relocation expenses.
In addition to financial benefits, delivering food allows expats to explore new surroundings, learn about the local restaurant scene, and interact with locals — all while earning money.
Autonomy lovers
Not everyone’s a fan of having a boss or being managed. Many want the freedom to make decisions without anyone calling the shots, so they sign up as couriers.
With food delivery, you can be your own boss and enjoy complete autonomy and flexibility. You decide when and how much to deliver or how to do it—whether it’s with a car, bike, or a scooter.
Everything is up to you and your needs.
Entrepreneurs and small business owners
Many want to start their own business rather than work for someone else, hoping for more financial stability and freedom.
However, this journey is not always easy and can require a lot of time and effort. In the initial stages, any business may have unpredictable cash flow or generate no revenue.
That’s why some courier partners are entrepreneurs and small business owners covering their business expenses and life costs with food delivery.
Food delivery allows them to focus on their business when necessary while also providing an opportunity to earn money in their free time.
Older adults
Not all older adults want to slow down. Many are eager to find new ways to make money. However, age discrimination remains an obstacle when searching for earning opportunities.
Bolt Food provides an inclusive and accessible opportunity for everyone, including older adults, to continue earning money on their terms.
Many deliver with Bolt Food to stay physically active and connected with the community. Delivering food promotes a more active lifestyle, social interaction and overall well-being.
Fitness enthusiasts
For fitness enthusiasts, maintaining an active lifestyle is a top priority — focusing on regular exercise, proper nutrition, and overall healthy habits.
With food delivery, they combine money-making with their active lifestyle. Many couriers passionate about fitness choose bicycles, benefiting from the cardio workout.
Some even skip cardio exercises at the gym, choosing to cycle with food delivery later to earn while staying fit.
Even with other vehicles, food delivery involves constant movement, whether picking up the food or walking up the stairs to handle the order.
