How it works

Food from restaurant
to your door.

DriverEats is a dispatch and clearing platform β€” we route orders, clear payments, and provide business tools. Restaurants set their own menu prices; drivers are independent businesses that run their own delivery service and keep 100% of the delivery fee and tips.

A typical order, before delivery. Your structural savings apply to every order β€” $0 menu markup, one DriverEats service fee (our only charge β€” a flat $1, plus payment processing folded in), and 100% of tips to your driver. Delivery is your driver's own price, set by them and shown before you order β€” we never set it or mark it up.

Send anything across NWA
1
Describe your item and pickup/dropoff
Enter what you're sending, declare its value, and set pickup and delivery addresses. Fragile and high-value items supported.
2
Declare value & photo proof
Declare your item's value for the record. Your driver photographs the item at pickup and drop-off, building a chain-of-custody proof trail β€” GPS-verified end to end.
3
Driver picks up and scans
A nearby driver is dispatched. They photograph the item at pickup, generating your unique DE tracking number.
4
GPS-verified delivery
Delivery is confirmed within 50 meters of the exact drop-off point. We actively detect mock-location spoofing β€” enforced in the app.
Every parcel gets a DE tracking number (DE + 8 hex characters) generated automatically at pickup. Track it live at drivereats.com/track.
