In this episode of the podcast, we dive into the future of delivery, the economics of food apps, and new platforms trying to reshape the industry. First, we break down the rise of next-generation delivery robots — including a new robot with arms capable of opening doors and completing deliveries more autonomously. What does this mean for last-mile logistics, restaurants, and gig workers? And how close are we to a world where robots handle the majority of deliveries? Then we discuss a big shift in the delivery platform landscape: Uber Eats increasing fees for some restaurants. The company is raising commission rates in certain pricing tiers (with some going from 15% to 20% and others up to 25%) while also charging additional fees tied to its Uber One subscription customers. For many independent restaurants already operating on tight margins, even a few percentage points can significantly impact profitability. We also explore alternative models that aim to give restaurants and shoppers more control, including: Dumpling — a platform that enables independent personal shoppers to run their own grocery delivery businesses. Prept Vacations — a service designed to help travelers maintain their health and fitness routines while on vacation.

Rideshare Rodeo Podcast (episode 515) November 2nd, 2025 Subscribe to Kim's "FREELANCE BUSTING" Substack https://freelancebusting.com Kim's Substack Article discussed during live below: Editor’s note: On October 14, I emailed the campaigns of Jack Ciattarelli and Mikie Sherrill to request Q&A interviews with each candidate for governor in my home state of New Jersey. Sherrill’s team did not respond. The first time I ever spoke with Jack Ciattarelli was about five years ago on a video call. There were quick introductions, and then I started to give him an advocacy pitch about independent-contractor policy. These kinds of conversations with politicians typically involve about 10 minutes of me explaining that most independent contractors are not Uber drivers. I talk about how we like being our own bosses as freelance writers, owner-operator truckers, graphic artists, real-estate agents, finance and insurance experts, translators and interpreters, attorneys and a whole lot more. Much to my surprise, Ciattarelli already understood the policy issue. He started explaining why independent contractors need protection here in New Jersey. I was speechless. It was a first. Nowadays, when I show up at any kind of Ciattarelli event, he sees me, smiles, comes over to say hello and quite enthusiastically says, “Independent contractors!” If he’s giving a speech, he points me out in the crowd and talks about the policy issue so everyone in the room understands that our ability to earn a living must be protected. He champions those of us who are speaking out on behalf of New Jersey’s estimated 1.7 million independent contractors. As you can see in these most recent photos of the two of us from his Morris County campaign stop at the Chester Diner, he’s a guy who leans in. Genuinely. Independent contractors are most worried right now about the proposed rulemaking at New Jersey’s Department of Labor & Workforce Development. I had several questions for Ciattarelli about that, as well as questions about other things too. Here’s my Q&A about independent-contractor policy with Jack Ciattarelli. Q&A with Jack Ciattarelli Would you please share your personal background of working with independent contractors, so people can hear what I heard from you on that video call all those years ago? Kim, it’s great to have these discussions with you. And yes, I remember that conversation and I’ve since shared my personal experience with independent contractors, most recently during an appearance on Univision. A gentleman asked me if I have any policies that are good for truck drivers specifically. I asked him if he meant independent truckers in particular, and he said yes. So I shared with him my perspective as someone who comes from a family of business owners, and that’s one of many ways you can achieve your version of the American dream. There has to be a balance that allows a person to be a W-2 employee or a 1099 independent contractor, whatever they want. I told this gentleman, as I previously told you, that my publishing business would never survive if the proposed regulation in Trenton were in effect. My business relied on hiring many medical editors who worked as independent contractors, self-employed people who can work the way they chose to work. If I had to hire them directly as employees, my business would fail and there would be 20 other jobs never created. I’m for letting people follow their American dream, and if they choose the path of being independent contractors, we’re going to make sure that path is there for them. New Jersey’s Legislature, about a half dozen years ago, rejected legislation based on a California law called Assembly Bill 5 that involved the classification of independent contractors and employees. Do you believe the New Jersey Legislature made the right or wrong call when it let that California-inspired bill die? And why? As I recall, the Legislature listened to the reaction of lots of independent contractors who just wanted to be allowed to continue working the way they want. They wanted to be their own boss, not an employee of someone else. There’s nothing wrong with being an employee, if that’s what you want and that’s what’s best for you. But there’s also nothing wrong with choosing to be your own boss. It should be your decision, not the government’s. For many of those folks, that bill would have destroyed their entire business model and their livelihood, and also would have hurt countless industries in our economy. Again, I look back on my own experience and know that the bill would have killed jobs and ended the American dream for many New Jerseyans. So yes, the Legislature made the right decision then. And I can’t say that about a lot of the decisions the Legislature has made recently. Right now, New Jersey’s Labor Department has proposed regulatory rulemaking that attorneys say “almost entirely eviscerates” any chance of establishing independent-contractor status, and is “an existential
