How it works
It’s nice and simple. Our customers place their order via the FastEat app, you get a notification in our driver app, telling you which store to collect the order from, and where to deliver to.
Once you've delivered your order you confirm this in our app and wait for the next one to be assigned to you.
You may be picking up a McDonalds or KFC order and then shopping at Aldi or Homebargains the next.
Shop and deliver things people love from the stores they trust.
Anyone can sign up to work for FastEat. It’s a simple process to apply, get approved, and start bringing people the things they love.
Shoppers may work full-time, part-time, or even shop to stay busy after retirement.
FastEat Shoppers build trust with customers
Shopping for groceries and bringing them to someone’s home is a job that requires a lot of trust. As a FastEat Shopper, you’re bringing someone the items they love and are important to them.
Sometimes you’re delivering fast food, restaurant meals, or even the weekly grocery shopping. When you work and deliver for FastEat, you’re delivering a little piece of our customers’ lives to them, and that’s definitely something to be proud of.

Happy Days! 100% of the tips are yours to keep.
As a self-employed delivery driver, you’re responsible for providing and maintaining your own equipment including: • A roadworthy car, registered and correctly insured. You’ll also need a full driving licence. • Something to wear ‒ while you can wear what you want, it’s very important you provide an excellent impression to customers and restaurants alike. We’d like you to dress neatly and not wear clothing which contain words/slogans which might offend. • Something compatible with our driver app ‒ either ‘iOS’ or ‘Android’ mobile phone, a charger so your battery doesn’t run flat and a data plan. • We will send you a pre-paid payment card • Before you commence deliveries, you will need a commercial-grade takeaway food carry bag. FASTEAT can provide you one at a cost of £25.00.
It is law in the UK that if you are driving for hire or reward then you must have appropriate insuurance cover in place. Most private car policies wont have "goods in transit" cover specifically for food delivery so you will need to arrange this before driving with FastEat.

As a self-employed driver, you are responsible for your own vehicle costs including fuel.
It is illegal to drive without valid insurance and you could receive a penalty ranging from a fine to disqualification from driving. Additionally, were you to be involved in an incident whilst not adequately insured, your insurance company would not cover the costs incurred.
