Inside GigClaim

Review records before export

GigClaim is built around reviewable records: track the work session, inspect trips, add missed entries or notes when needed, then export only after the record makes sense.

That workflow is useful for busy delivery and rideshare days where personal errands, weak GPS, parking, tolls, or route changes can make a raw mileage total hard to trust without review.

Quick answer

What to do first

  • GigClaim is free to download; starting a new work session requires Pro or an eligible introductory offer shown by Apple.
  • Track the full restaurant-delivery work session, then review trips between restaurants, drop-offs, and waiting areas.
  • Flag downtime, weak GPS, and manual entries so they stay visible during review.
  • Keep local records useful first; export only after dates, distances, and notes make sense.

Driver scenarios

Common situations to review

Use these examples as review prompts, not tax conclusions. Your facts still matter.

Scheduled block with downtime

A scheduled or on-demand period can include waits between orders. Review gaps instead of treating the whole period as one simple trip.

Dense restaurant areas

Garages, downtown blocks, and weak signal can affect tracking. Mark uncertain records for review instead of making them look final.

Manual correction after interruption

If tracking was interrupted, add a factual missed record or note and review it before export.

Pricing boundary

Can you try GigClaim for Grubhub?

GigClaim is free to download from the App Store. Starting a new Grubhub work session requires an active Pro subscription or an eligible introductory offer shown by Apple.

Apple determines introductory-offer eligibility and shows the final price, offer terms, and renewal details before purchase.

  • The app can be downloaded without charge
  • A new work session requires Pro or an eligible Apple introductory offer
  • Pro includes work sessions, reports, exports, and backup tools
  • Apple shows final eligibility, pricing, and subscription terms before purchase

Delivery sessions

Track the session and review the trips

Restaurant delivery work often has gaps between orders. Those gaps should be reviewed instead of automatically treated as one thing.

Use a workflow that lets you inspect dates, distances, classifications, confidence, and notes before export.

  • Start tracking when delivery work begins
  • Review trips between restaurants and customer drop-offs
  • Check downtime and repositioning between orders
  • Add missed records when tracking was interrupted

GPS limits

Do not hide weak tracking details

Dense restaurant areas, garages, battery saver, and app interruptions can affect location records.

A conservative recordkeeping workflow should flag weak records for review so drivers can correct or explain them where appropriate.

  • Check weak-signal trips
  • Review manual entries before export
  • Use notes for route corrections or unusual waits

Exports

Export after review

GigClaim is built so drivers can review locally, then export mileage, expense, earnings, and note records when they choose.

Exports are for record organization and tax-preparation workflows. They are not tax filing or tax advice.

Review checklist

What to check before exporting

Downtime and repositioning

Check gaps between orders, waiting areas, restaurant-to-customer routes, and any repositioning after drop-off.

Tracking quality

Review weak-signal records, battery-saver interruptions, manual entries, and notes before export.

Delivery-week records

Compare mileage with expenses and earnings you chose to log for the same week.

Common mistakes

Mistakes that make records harder to trust

Hiding downtime

Downtime may matter for review. Keep gaps visible so you can decide what happened later.

Overtrusting GPS in restaurants or garages

Dense pickup areas can reduce location quality. Use tracking health and notes when a record looks weak.

Skipping expense context

Parking, tolls, and supplies are easier to understand when logged near the delivery week they relate to.

Waiting until tax season

Restaurant delivery days blur together quickly. Weekly review gives you better records.
