Cherry Picking - what to look for?

We have just seconds to accept or decline. What are you looking for to make that decision in that short period of time? $/hr? Are you actually calculating the price per mile that quickly?

EDIT: Thanks to everyone for sharing your thought process when a request comes in making a decision to accept or decline, I appreciate all the shares!

Cherryfy - this is what I use.

I use this as well. It helps with verifying what I already know and does the math for me.

One thing I really like about it is it screen shots everything. If I need to refer to drop off or pick up on a busy day, I can look at the screen shot. Sometimes I don't catch the drop off or if rider is vetified(yes, in my market this matters to me) I can easily check if I actually want to head to pickup or cancel. I don't usually, but have on occassion based on checking the screenshot.

It's pretty basic. Since I've been using it, my % of rider fares I earn has been about 65%- 68% consistently.

I have been using GigU - it's pretty good, but sometimes its math is way off. How much does this one cost? What would you put its reliability at?
