First letâs talk about wine by the glass. As a general rule, the cost of a glass of wine is going to cost exactly what the restaurant paid for the bottle. So if they paid $10, that wine by the glass will cost $10. With 4-5 pours in a bottle, that means the restaurant takes in a nice profit of $30 to $40 per bottle. Not bad for helping to cover all their costs.
Uber has made some lofty claims about just how much its drivers can make a year. Uber has said its UberX drivers can make a median income of $90,000 a year in New York, as long as they drive over 40 hours per week. It says drivers can make up to $60,000 per year in Dallas. UberX is the startup's cheaper tier service. In New York, UberX is the startup's lower-cost, lower-level black car service.
1 In order to make $50,000 a year, an Uber driver must provide 60.21 rides every week. 2  A Lyft driver would have to provide 83.76 rides, and a Sidecar driver would have to provide 72.03 rides. 3  To put that in perspective, 60.21 rides each week equates to between 20 and 21 hours of driving per week for an Uber driver.fter looking at the numbers, NerdWallet had a few big takeaways: 1  Based on their data, drivers can, on average, make more working for Uber than for Lyft and Sidecar in most places. 2  Uber drivers make an average of $15.97 per ride with Uber, as opposed to Lyft ($11.48) and Sidecar ($13.35).
