The off-season for food delivery has arrived—and there will never be another peak season again. Don’t think you can just fall back on delivering food—it’s not an option anymore. Right now, none of the three major platforms have many orders. Even during lunch rush hour, you’ll still find plenty of riders hanging around chatting in the business districts. The current situation is simple: too few orders and too many riders—there are more delivery workers than people ordering food. So how are you supposed to make it work? If you’re looking for when orders might pick up, you can only hope for heavy rain, strong winds, or holidays—only then will the volume increase, and even then, only when those who push themselves to the limit can no longer keep going. If you’re considering food delivery as your last resort, I urge you to let go of that idea—it’s just not worth it.
