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 Starter includes 5 free work sessions per month for light or occasional Grubhub tracking.
- 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.
Free Starter
Can you use a free mileage tracker for Grubhub?
Yes, if your Grubhub delivery schedule is light enough for a capped plan. GigClaim Starter includes 5 free work sessions per month, which can fit occasional restaurant-delivery days, testing a tracking habit, or reviewing whether the workflow makes sense before upgrading.
If you drive most weeks, run multiple delivery sessions per week, or need regular report exports, compare Pro before relying on Starter alone.
- Starter includes 5 free work sessions per month
- Useful for occasional Grubhub delivery days or testing the app
- Pro fits drivers who need unlimited sessions, reports, exports, and backup tools
- Apple shows final 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.
