In 2020, Uber obtained Postmates after failing to acquire Grubhub. Food delivery companies acquired don’t usually create issues for the couriers on those platforms. For instance, Caviar drivers could transition onto the DoorDash platform with no significant hiccup after Doordash acquired Caviar in the fall of 2019. But for many Postmates couriers, when Uber acquired Postmates, this was probably the worst thing that could happen. Why? Uber has a rideshare business that requires it to vet drivers much more carefully than food delivery platforms do their couriers. Suppose you are a Postmates courier who wants to drive on the Uber platform. In that case, some negative things on your background check might prevent you from delivering food with Uber Eats. And this is what has been happening for a lot of Postmates couriers, according to a BuzzFeed report. Their history doesn’t allow them to continue driving for Uber Eats after Uber brought Postmates. So what are the options for former Postmates couriers who cannot work for Uber Eats because of something on their background check? Here are five great options for former Postmates couriers wishing to continue doing food delivery gigs.

However, when that situation became a reality, the burger chain said that illegal delivery would damage the brand’s image. The company claimed that it is hard to maintain quality control over the process in that case.
