Postmates prioritizes the health and safety of its partners by implementing important safety measures including contactless deliveries and frequent hand hygiene recommendations. During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, these safety protocols are even more critical, ensuring a safe environment for both delivery partners and customers.

No prior experience is necessary to start delivering with Postmates, making it an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in entering the gig economy. However, previous delivery or food service experience can help you enjoy and succeed in this role.
