When you set off as a Lieferando courier, you’ll get an hourly salary, holiday pay and other perks. Joining us on the road will also help you develop valuable skills for your career. Here’s how it all works…

What are the financial benefits?

Without our dedicated couriers, there would be no Lieferando. Because they keep our business on the move, we make sure their hard work is properly rewarded. When you set off with us in Austria, you’ll enjoy:

• A base hourly wage, meaning you're paid for your entire working time – even while waiting between deliveries.

• Paid vacation days and continued pay if you’re sick.

• The "Refer-a-Friend" program: If you recommend friends to become Lieferando drivers, you can earn a nice cash bonus
