DoorDash tipping
I order about 5 times a week on DoorDash as I don’t have a car. My orders are mostly about $25. I have been tipping $5 constant tipping fee. I was wondering how much others pay and why don’t the employers pay fair wages, why is this pushed into the consumers 🤕
Already in the bay area, we pay 2$ driver benefit fee, over that doordash on average jacks up price by 25%. I tip less due to these reasons.
I tip nil for those reasons
Damn, dude
Ordering doordash 5 days a week is insane
Exactly. Why can’t people learn to cook simple stuff. I cook a healthy lunch in 15-20 mins 🤷♂️
30*5*4 = $600 (just one meal alone) That’s the monthly payment for a 40k car
$5 flat. I don’t do large or group orders. Used to do $3 pre inflation. I live in CA
Tipping based on miles driven makes more sense for UberEats, DD, etc. Your driver isn’t really doing more/less work depending on the order size. I try to stick around $1 per mile. I also don’t typically order from places that are 20 miles away, so this works for me.
This is a great idea, thanks for sharing.
Don’t waste that money. Go and pickup yourself or better eat there .
I assume you’re referring to the tip for the delivery driver? Drivers accept orders based on the total earning for the order, which includes their base pay from Doordash, and tip that you entered. The tip is always optional, but you’re more likely to have a driver accept the order if the pay is higher. This isn’t the restaurant getting the tips. The restaurant is already paying 25-30% of the cost of your order for the privilege of you ordering from Doordash, in addition to paying their employees what easily amounts to another 30% of the cost of your order, not to mention the actual cost of the food itself which could be the remaining revenue from your order. So what would you expect the employer (restaurant) to pay their employees when they are already making nothing or losing money from your 5 weekly orders, just to stay competitive and have market visibility? They’re not making $ on you unless you go in and pick up your food yourself, or start charging you a lot more to order from them. Of course there are “higher end” restaurants that are charging a lot more but what makes them higher end when you’re not visiting their dining room? Tipping culture in the US sucks, but so does the fact that there is a huge disparity between cost of living, and what service workers can be paid based on level of skill and experience in a job. Paying more will just pass the cost to you eventually in another way, and it won’t be an “optional” cost, like tip. If you’re complaining about the tip here, then will you stop tipping if they raise their prices $5 and risk not having drivers accept your order? It’s the added cost of the service you’re accustomed to. It’s not a fair system, but it is the way it is.
I dont tip by order amount but rather how far away the restaurant is.
There are service fees, California fees , driver benefit fee etc. that are basically tip. So feel free to tip 0$
Tip 0 and that kills this nonsense tip culture
Either way you’re paying for that tip whether it’s rolled into the price of food or not.
