Meet the female riders funding their futures with Deliveroo
One’s going to open her own restaurant
Being a Deliveroo rider isn’t an average part-time job; many student riders are doing great things with their hard-earned cash and tackling gender boundaries while they’re at it.
We asked the ladies about what it’s like to ride for Deliveroo and what they plan to do with their dolla.

I’m saving to one day open a vegetarian restaurant and company for female drivers.
Deliveroo has been a great way for me to start saving. I’d rather be a rider than work in a pub or a bar because it’s so flexible. The money is also better – I made £90 in five hours, just riding my bike – once I was even given a £20 tip.
I’d really recommend being a rider to other girls. Anybody who likes cycling, meeting new people, seeing how restaurants and cafes operate and being active would definitely enjoy it.

I became a Deliveroo rider because it’s an active, outgoing job. I can stay fit while I save up for my next flight to Nepal – after being there for the terrible 2015 earthquake, I wanted to do something to help.
When I graduate, I want to have saved up enough from riding to start my own charity and teach people who don’t have access to fertile soil how to replenish its nutrients and grow food.
I love challenging myself so I knew riding for Deliveroo would be a perfect way for me to save money.
People generally seem pleased to open the door to a female rider, but maybe they’re just happy to see their food arriving!

I started riding with Deliveroo to fund my Yachtmaster qualification while studying.
I think people are sometimes surprised when they open the door to a female rider, but they shouldn’t be – girls can ride bikes too! It does feel good to smash stereotypes and prove that this job is for anyone.
It’s been great to have a flexible job which allows me to pursue things I’m interested in – I can ride when I want and fit it around my time on the water.
I’m a deckhand, working on the outside of a boat. Like with Deliveroo, a lot of my colleagues are men because it’s quite a physical job, but I never struggle to keep up!

I play for the Dundee University Ladies First hockey team and I’ve found being a Deliveroo rider has massively improved my fitness overall.
I started working for them because I kept noticing riders around the city. I was curious about how it worked, but after doing some research I knew I’d love it! Keeping fit and being paid to do it kills two birds with one stone.
At the moment I’m the only female rider in Dundee, but the number of girls applying seems to be growing.
Any girls considering becoming a Deliveroo rider shouldn’t worry that others might be fitter or more experienced. As girls, we can do whatever the boys can.
I’m always trying to balance hockey commitments with a degree, the gym and a job. It’s easy to do this being a rider because it fits around everything else going on in my life.
