Screenshot the offer.
Buddy says if it pays.
The copilot for DoorDash and Uber Eats drivers. One screenshot in, one answer out. Then it times every door, keeps your proof, and adds the night up.
Being tested by drivers now, on iPhone through TestFlight. Your data stays on your phone.
Every offer graded. The app that pays you more, named.
Every mile logged, with proof. Tax set aside as you go.
What every Buddy on the road is seeing, while you wait. And what we ask for, together.
How it works
One screenshot in. The whole night out. The full how-to is here.
Screenshot the offer.
Buddy reads the pay, the miles and the minutes, and grades it against what your area really pays. Green, take it. Red, let it go.
Tap Start. Then drive.
Buddy knows when you reach the counter, how long it held you, and when the door shut. Nothing to start or stop. A green bubble by the customer's name writes "On my way" for you.
At the door: photo, signature, done.
Stamped with the time and where you stood. One page to send when a customer says it never came. Got it wrong? Tap the job and fix it in the same form it was built from.

The shift adds itself up.
Pay, per hour, tips, miles, and what waiting cost you. Tap a job to see every door. Tap a tip to type what they gave.
| DELIVERIES | TOTAL | TIP |
| › New China House | $11.78 | $3.00 |
| › Potbelly, Island Quizine 2 | $14.15 | $4.75 |
| › Carrabba's | $18.40 | $0.00 |
Money. By app, by day, for tax.
Screenshot your earnings and Buddy reconciles it against what it watched. Miles for the IRS, the car's cost per mile, and which app actually paid.
| DoorDash | 31 jobs | $702.15 |
| Uber Eats | 22 jobs | $511.85 |
| Mileage, 76¢ | 611 mi | $464.36 |
| Set aside for tax | 22% | $164.92 |
Waiting? See what's hot.
Every Buddy on the road shares which restaurants are moving and what they paid. Never the customer, never the door. The Drivers tab has the map, the bathrooms, the food, and the other drivers.
3 orders in the last hour, $20 average, best $40, $3 tip
2 orders in the last hour, $11 average
1 order in the last hour, $15
DoorDash or Uber Eats?
Nobody tells you which one is paying you more. Buddy does, tonight and every month.
| JOBS | TOTAL | TIPS | |
| DoorDash | 31 | $702.15 | $88.50 |
| Uber Eats | 22 | $511.85 | $61.00 |
Is shopping worth it?
Shop-and-deliver orders on each app, against every ordinary pickup. Per hour, per delivery, per mile, the tip. Buddy keeps the shopping minutes out of the kitchen's wait, so the comparison is honest.
| UBER | DASH | PICKUPS | |
| per hour | $19 | $24 | $22 |
| per delivery | $11.40 | $14.70 | $9.05 |
| per mile | $1.95 | $2.10 | $2.42 |
| average tip | $4.10 | $5.25 | $3.30 |
| deliveries | 4 | 7 | 31 |
The night ends on a recap.
Tap End. One card says what the night was: paid, per hour, where the money was, where the waits were, and what Buddy saved you.
Plan the week. See the week.
A goal for the week and the hours Buddy picks to reach it, off what your hours really pay. Then the calendar of what was actually worked: hours, money, miles, trips, breaks and all.
It remembers every place.
How long a kitchen holds you. Which doors tip. Where the lobby locks after dark. Your photos and notes, at the right spot.
Every mile is money.
You're a business. Each mile on shift comes off your taxes, and the IRS wants proof.
12,000 miles a year at the IRS rate of 76¢, taxed at 30%. The apps count only miles on a job. Your numbers will differ.

Your tax report. Done.
Open it any day and it is current. Nothing to fill in.
Questions
Which apps does it work with?
DoorDash and Uber Eats, on iPhone. Buddy reads their screens, so nothing changes in how you use them.
Do I have to type anything?
No. A screenshot of the offer is the input. The counter, the door, the miles and the time are watched by the phone. Tips you can type if the app only tells you by notification.
Where is my data?
On your phone. Buddy keeps the shift, the places, the photos and the signatures on the device. What goes to other drivers is the restaurant, how long its counter took and roughly what the job paid. Never a customer, never an address. Sharing is on from the start and turns off on Setup.
What is the crowd?
The crowd. Which restaurants are moving right now, what they paid in the last hour, a ping when a big order lands nearby, and how many buddies are working near you. Testers have all of it.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Buddy Delivers is being tested, and testers have everything.
Does it drain the battery?
It watches your position the way a maps app does, a little lighter. A full shift is fine on a phone that is charging in the car, which most are.
Why not just use the apps' own mileage?
They count the miles on a job. Driving to the hotspot, waiting, heading home: those are business miles too, and they are about a third of what you drive. Buddy counts all of it, with where and when.
Will it do my taxes?
It keeps what your taxes need: miles with proof, income by app, tips, spends, and what to set aside. The tax report adds the year up whenever you open it, with a mileage log and the four quarterly payments, and exports as a spreadsheet or a page to print. Buddy is not an accountant, and a good one will like what it gives them.
Does it do shopping orders?
Yes. Buddy reads "Shop for N items" off the card, asks whether you are shopping once you have been in the store a while, keeps those minutes out of the kitchen's wait, and shows shopping against ordinary pickups on the Money tab: per hour, per delivery, per mile, the tip.
What if Buddy gets a job wrong?
Tap the job. It opens as the form it was built from: the stores, their customers, the app, the pay, the tip. Fix it there. The card that priced the job stays with it.
Is it in Spanish?
Yes. Español is a switch at the bottom of Setup; every screen and every message follows it.
Where is the how-to?
buddydelivers.com/how-to: every screen, and what to screenshot on DoorDash and on Uber Eats, step by step. The app shows the same things with bubbles the first time you open it, and again from Setup.
Can I stop?
Any time. Delete account on the app's Setup page removes your account and what you shared.
Android?
iPhone first. Android later.
