Best time and places to go online

You will get maximum delivery requests during below times. Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights are always busy. If you are using bicycle or motorcycle, I would recommend working in CBD as there is no parking issue. If you have car, I would recommend any area outside of CBD.

1. Breakfast time - 8-9 AM in the morning
2. Lunch time - 11AM to 2 PM
3. Dinner - 5PM - 9PM

3. Payments happen on weekly basis - usually by tuesday
4. Other perks - discount at Caltex petrol station, Car Service discount, Tax Filing discount
