Deliver catering across the DMV

Catering is all we deliver: large orders from restaurants to offices, meetings and events in Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia. You drive as an independent contractor, in your own car, on the hours you choose.

Why drive with us

1

Bigger jobs, fuller trips

A catering order feeds a meeting or an event, not one person. Each pickup is a bigger job than a single meal, so your time on the road goes into fewer, fuller trips.

2

You set the hours

Tell us when you are free to drive. Pick jobs from the Order Pool in the app, or take jobs dispatch assigns to you.

3

Dispatch on your side

Our dispatch team is there while you deliver. If an entrance is hard to find or a customer is not answering, you reach a person who helps you finish the job.

What you need

Questions drivers ask

Read the Driver Guide

Do I have to accept every job?

No. There is no minimum. Claim the pool jobs you want. If you can't do a job dispatch gave you, tell dispatch as early as you can.

When do I get paid?

Once a week, through GigSafe, for the Monday-to-Sunday week before. Payday is currently Wednesday (the next business day if that's a public holiday). We'll tell you if it changes.

How do I get pool alerts?

Open Job alerts in the menu and choose your areas, and allow notifications. You get alerts for jobs in those areas and the areas next to them.

Can customers see my phone number?

Not on their tracking page: their calls come to CDP dispatch. If you call them from your own phone, they see your number.

Does being late cost me money?

No. Lateness is recorded in your numbers, but it never reduces your pay.

How do I delete my driver account?

Email support@cateringdeliverypartners.com with the subject "Delete my driver account" and the email you sign in with. GigSafe keeps its own records; ask GigSafe separately.
