Advantages of Registering with Multiple Services
In addition to Uber Eats, there are several food delivery services, such as Demaekan, Wolt, and menu. Registering with multiple services offers many benefits.
Here are the top three advantages:
1. You can benefit from new registration campaigns from each company.
Currently, intense competition exists among food delivery companies. Securing delivery partners is a crucial task, and companies use referral campaigns and special incentives to attract them.
This “referral campaign bubble” may end anytime, so it’s wise to take advantage of it now.
Uber Eats has a highly user-friendly app, making it one of the easiest to deliver with. Registering with Uber Eats, the leading food delivery service in Japan, is worth it, especially to compare it with other services.
2. You can choose the most favorable incentives.
Incentives for delivery partners vary by company, so by registering with multiple services, you can select the most advantageous incentive at any given time.
Television ads and social media promotions also influence sales. By being registered with multiple services, you can choose the platform with the best campaign at the time.
Recently, Demaekan has drawn attention for offering a 3x boost.
While Uber Eats offers around ¥400 per delivery, Demaekan provides an average reward of ¥750 per order (as of January 2023). This is real, not an exaggeration!
If you’re not registered with Demaekan, you might miss out on these earnings!
3. More referral reward opportunities.
While many think a delivery partner’s income consists only of "delivery fees," that's not true. Delivery partners have two main income sources: "1) Delivery fees" and "2) Referral rewards."
Registering with multiple services increases the chance for referral rewards.
For instance, an Uber Eats delivery partner can invite family or friends and earn up to ¥30,000 as a referral reward (as of November 2024, depending on the area). Details are here.
Also, by inviting family or friends to Wolt and if they meet the conditions, you can receive up to ¥50,000 per person, making it possible to earn a total of up to ¥80,000 per person from Uber Eats and Wolt alone (details here).
How much this affects your annual income depends on whether you take advantage of this opportunity.
-
Part of the Z Holdings Group (same as LINE, Yahoo!, PayPay)
-
Very high earnings per delivery with ongoing expansion
-
Flexible hours, no dress code, no boss!
-
Uber Eats has too many delivery partners, making it hard to earn more
The only service with potential earnings of over ¥4,000 per hour is Demaekan! How much do you earn per hour?
If you do it as a side job, delivering only during high-boost times can be a great side income.
For full-time work, it’s relatively easy to earn over ¥8 million annually.

Utilize the Referral Campaign 【Recommended: ★★】
1. Overview
Uber Eats offers a friend referral campaign for delivery partners.
Existing delivery partners can invite friends to Uber Eats and earn a referral bonus upon meeting conditions (area restrictions, limit of 50 referrals).
The conditions are relatively easy, but due to occasional inconsistencies in email notifications and limited area availability, we rated this two stars.
Referral rewards are only paid to the referrer and not to new partners, so please keep this in mind.
The Wolt referral campaign is held nationwide!
2. Referral Code
According to the terms, sharing referral codes on websites or social media is prohibited. Distributing codes through automated systems is also banned.
Violations may result in account suspension, so please be careful.
If you’re registering as a new partner, you may receive an invitation from a family member or friend who is a delivery partner.
Note that, as mentioned above, referral rewards are only paid to the referrer, so negotiate with them if you want cashback.
Referral rewards are a benefit for referrers only on Uber Eats.
3. Referral Rewards
The referral rewards paid by Uber are listed below.
Past trends in referral rewards can be found here.
Changes as of April 25, 2024
Please note that the details of the Uber Eats referral program may vary depending on region, time period, and delivery partner.

❸ Referral Fees Paid by Uber Eats to Referrers
Bicycle/Motorcycle: ¥15,000
Light Vehicle: ¥30,000
❹ Requirements
① Your friend must complete a new account registration with an eligible vehicle
② Complete 10 deliveries within 30 days of creating the new account
The "new account creation date" for Uber Eats refers to the date the registration process begins, specifically when "Next" is clicked on the form.
In other words, those who have previously started the account creation process but did not complete it are not eligible for the referral campaign.
❺ Important Notes
① The listed areas are main locations; for example, the "Yokohama" location may include surrounding cities and towns.
② Uber Eats may change or end the campaign without notice (this has happened in the past).
The campaign content may vary by region and partner, so please be cautious!
2. Cases Where Referral Fees Are Not Granted
❶ Referring Friends Before Completing Deliveries
If you refer friends before starting deliveries yourself, Uber Eats may consider this "campaign abuse" and disallow participation in the referral campaign.
❷ Only Completing One Delivery
Even if the campaign advertises that one delivery is enough to receive a referral fee, if most referred users only complete one delivery, Uber Eats may consider this "campaign abuse" and suspend the campaign.
This seems odd on Uber’s part. They could have just set a higher minimum from the start!

Comparing Earnings at the Top Four Companies
Here are estimated earnings for one month of deliveries (5 hours a day, 20 days) at Demae-can (regular and campaign rates), Wolt, Menu, and Uber Eats.
Demae-can’s debut campaign brings in outstanding revenue!
Even without a campaign, Demae-can seems like the top earner.
Many partners sign up for all platforms to take advantage of campaign bonuses.
※ Figures may vary depending on area, weather, demand, and achievement of bonuses.
※ Averaging four deliveries per hour requires some experience.
※ Order volume differs by company (Uber Eats is particularly active).
Signing up for both Demae-can and Uber Eats is a good idea since you might find slow times with just Wolt.
Check the Wolt campaign if you're outside the coverage area!

About Optional Insurance
1. Car & Motorcycle
Do motorcycles require optional insurance as well?
Compulsory insurance, or “liability insurance,” only covers up to ¥30 million for personal injury. If an accident causes significant harm, this amount is insufficient. I strongly recommend optional insurance, as damage to vehicles, buildings, etc., can be costly.
For food delivery partners using cars or motorcycles, optional or cooperative insurance is required. Choose from the available plans that best suit your needs.
Using an online comparison service can help you find the best insurance plan.
For example, InsWeb (car insurance) and motorcycle insurance by SBI Insurance provide a quick, easy way to get multiple quotes.
You can compare quotes from different companies in minutes, making it highly recommended.
The Business Vehicle Insurance (Mirai Insurance) is also recommended for business vehicles.
Choose the best option from several quotes.
2. Bicycle
Optional insurance for bicycle delivery partners is recommended. Few companies offer it, so checking Price.com is efficient.
Freenance is free, so sign up here as a start.
Insurance takes effect from the 15th of the following month, so apply early.
For your information, I (JP) use both Freenance and Rakuten’s Bicycle Insurance.
Recommended Side Jobs
Uber Eats and other food delivery services are recruiting delivery partners as independent contractors.
Food delivery is a great side job for people looking to exercise while earning money. It’s also ideal for those looking to lose weight.
The following article includes helpful registration methods that use campaign bonuses, so check it out if you’re interested.
If you sign up directly on the official site without using the cashback from this article, you might miss out!
1. Wolt (Recommended Rating: ★★★)
Wolt, part of the U.S. giant DoorDash Group, is a Finnish food delivery service that operates in over 20 countries. With an emphasis on quality operations, sleek uniforms, and equipment, it’s exceptionally convenient to work with.
It has a selection of slightly higher-end and tasty restaurants, and delivery rewards are set higher than Uber Eats. A limited-time referral campaign is ongoing.
2. Demae-can (Recommended Rating: ★★★★)
Demae-can is known for having delivery partners who make over ¥800,000 monthly.
If you’re serious about earning, Demae-can is the way to go!
Most delivery partners are registered with both Uber and Demae-can.
3. Menu (Recommended Rating: ★)
Menu offers high boost incentives in new areas, making it a good opportunity.
As of November 2024, the referral campaign is currently paused.
How to Check Your Invite Code
Your invite code is necessary to invite family and friends.
Invite codes differ between user and delivery partner apps, and the way to check them also varies.
