If you have access to a car, delivering meals for Indian restaurants can be very lucrative (Friday and Saturday are the best nights) It makes sense to target restaurants in the wealthiest areas of your town/city.

If you are interested in this type of work, you can say that you will initially work mid/start of week (less money) to get your foot in the door.

On a negative note I think a lot of restaurants will be hit by the 'credit crunch', but I'm sure in certain wealthy suburbs people will still be spending a small fortune on takeaway meals!

What you need for this type of work:

1) Car.
2) Mobile phone.
3) A-Z Street Guide, or even better Sat-Nav (not necessary however.)
4) Ideally, knowledge of the area that you are delivering to.
5) A plastic box or similar to stop the food staining your car seats.

and 6) insurance for that sort of car usage

I packed in a job in late August doing that but Chinese meals. The money isnt that good at all and I know others who do this who get pittance

Contrary what customers think, often you have to pay for the running of your own car, petrol etc. You get a very low wage and so much per call this can be as low as 50p to £2. I got £1 and I still only made about £7-£8 an hour plus cost of running my car which was £8 a night and I aint even factored in service costs

You do get tips but it aint a lot most people dont give you anything and you also may have to pay to ring customers up because not everyone has door bells in flats which is a right pain and I aint even started on the amount of complaints I get of why you are late because the woman who takes the calls has no idea how long it takes you to get to a place or how long it takes you to get back to pick the next load up.

I did enjoy the job and go right friendly with customers but you do meet some nutters and smack heads too

Have you tried babysitting for family and friends?, if you don't want to tie up your evenings, offer to keep other peoples kids amused while they do a
kid-free christmas shop, some harassed mothers might jump at the chance.

good idea kippy thanks
