Home meal delivery people, independents, obtained on Friday July 10 from the platforms which employ them, mainly Uber Eats and Deliveroo, a significant increase in their minimum hourly income, which goes from €11.75 gross to €19, indicated the sector regulatory authority.
The regulatory authority (Arpe) published a report in 2025 on the drastic fall in the gross hourly rate between 2021 and 2024, i.e. a drop of 34.2% at Uber Eats, 22.7% at Deliveroo and 26.6% at Stuart taking into account inflation.
The two member companies of the Association of Independent Platforms, Uber Eats and Deliveroo, signed on Friday with food delivery unions, Union Indépendants and the FNAE, an amendment to a 2023 agreement providing for minimum hourly remuneration. This amendment will come into force on September 1.
Tips excluded from the calculation
Its signature “marks an important step in the progressive construction of collective guarantees adapted to the working conditions of independent platform workers”, welcomed Joël Blondel, the general director of Arpe, in a press release.
In addition, the amendment “provides that this guarantee will now be assessed over a weekly period, more favorable for the delivery person than the calculation per month which had been common until now”, rejoiced Arpe in the same press release.
Furthermore, tips, which were included in the calculation of remuneration during the 2023 agreement, are now excluded, explained Fabian Tosolini, of the majority union Union Indépendants.
Finally, the amendment provides for a clause for reviewing the text annually, or before if an exceptional event justifies it, such as an increase in inflation or a deterioration in purchasing power, he also specified. At the same time, discussions are continuing on the health and safety of delivery people, added Arpe.
