Acceptance rate
Your acceptance rate is the share of offers you accept. Some apps use it to decide who gets offers first, and others say it makes no difference.
Last checked 29/09/2026.
Just Eat shows your acceptance rate on every offer and matches offers faster to couriers with a higher one. Deliveroo says rejecting an order has no effect on future offers or fees. Deliveroo challenges use a similar percentage to decide who qualifies for a bonus.
What it means for your money
As a self-employed courier you can decline any job. A high acceptance rate is only worth protecting if the faster offers it brings are worth more than the poor jobs you took to keep it. Your own hourly figures by platform are the way to tell.

It decides how quickly offers reach you under Fast Track Offer Matching, and top-ups need a minimum rate. Every decline lowers it.

When each app pays you, and why the date matters for tax
Most apps pay weekly, on different days, with a fee to get it sooner. Evri pays monthly. The pay date decides how much cash you need in reserve and, at the start and end of the year, which tax year the money falls in.
