A kind word and a smile will also make it clear that the money you're handing over is intended as a tip for the food delivery driver to keep. Kristine Gill. By Kristine Gill Updated April 08, Save FB Tweet More. All rights reserved.
Close Sign in. Many people assume that fee goes to the delivery driver. But that's not the case. The fee usually goes to either the delivery service, the restaurant, or both. Restaurants and delivery services will use this fee to offset a number of costs, including liability insurance for delivery drivers, rising cost of food ingredients, and more. This means that drivers and other delivery people won't get that delivery fee.
Instead, they rely on your tips. Do Dashers See Your Tip? Dashers DoorDash delivery drivers get a guaranteed minimum for each order, which they see before deciding to accept the order. They won't know how much you tipped until after the delivery. With Grubhub, however, drivers will see how much you tip and then decide if they want to accept the order.
If you want to wait until receiving your food to determine the quality of service, you can use the notes section on the app to say that you will tip in cash. Delivery apps typically guarantee their drivers a minimum wage. However, these companies will factor in tips to reach that minimum. If drivers don't receive enough tips to equal minimum wage for the hours they worked, the delivery service must make up the difference.
While this would make drivers' pay somewhat consistent, some drivers have also seen their minimum fluctuate based on the tips they receive. All things considered, wages for delivery app drivers can be highly variable.
Restaurant delivery drivers have a slightly different situation. Depending on the state they work in, these drivers may be guaranteed a state or federally mandated minimum wage or make a "tipped wage. Drivers making a "tipped wage" earn far less than minimum wage and rely heavily on tips for their compensation.
Uber Eats just released the ability to tip delivery drivers right in the app after you receive your order. They state that tipping is "optional" and that the tips go directly to the driver.

While the minimum tip is acceptable, think about the trip the delivery person has made, the distance and the conditions they travelled in. Perhaps a bigger tip would be a better reflection of the effort involved? There are four key situations where you should give your pizza delivery person a bigger tip than customary.
These are: when the delivery person has traveled through snow, rain or other inclement weather to reach you or whenever driving conditions are riskier than normal; when the journey between the restaurant and your home is greater than 5 miles; when the delivery person has to make their way to you during especially busy times, for example, during popular televised sports events delivery people have to work a lot more quickly during peak periods to ensure your meal is still hot when it is delivered ; and finally, when the service provided by your delivery person, for instance, their politeness and timeliness, really impresses you.
How would you rate the delivery service?
