How many tips to give couriers Uber Eats, Door Dash or GrubHub

At the end of a hard working day, few people are willing to spend time and energy on cooking and therefore many open the Uber Eats, Door Dash or GrubHub application and order food delivery to their homes. The problem is that by the time the food is delivered, sometimes you have to pay twice as much for dinner, and you still have to think about tips. USA Today I figured out how much tip should be left to the delivery driver.

US Foods conducted a study that showed that 95% of customers of food delivery applications regularly tip delivery drivers, but 60% of drivers say that tips are small.

"It's expensive, but it's not the fault of the driver who gets in his car and works for a small salary to deliver your food," says etiquette expert Diana Gotzman.

How much should you tip the driver?

According to the study, buyers and drivers generally agree that the 4 dollar is an acceptable tip. But this may not be enough with a large order of food.

Gotzman proposes to keep at least 20% of the total cost of food or at least 5 dollars.

“Drivers mostly work for tips. It's part of the necessities of life, and I think we should tip politely and correctly,” says Gottsman.

There are other things worth knowing about tips.

Cash Tips: In some food delivery applications, tips are used to pay less to the driver. Thus, if the driver owes 5 dollars and you leave a tip of the 2 dollar, then he gets the 3 dollar.

Conduct research: some food delivery services do not require buyers to leave a tip or write instructions on how to leave a tip to couriers. Look at the sites of companies and study this information.

Think about the circumstances: for example, how far should a driver travel to deliver an order? How far do they have to park? How many flights do they need to go through? What's the weather outside? And consider these nuances in your recall.

Tip: if you plan to use one particular application or service for a long time, then let them know that you are a good customer and leave a tip. Thanks to this you will probably get the best service.

If you are a courier, then you should know that 50% of clients leave a tip based on circumstances. Customers, for example, complain that couriers stay in their cars or leave food at the door and leave. And no matter how you work, the main thing - do not take food from the order, buyers really do not like it. 85% of customers say that restaurants should make special labels on orders, so that customers have confidence that no one has spoiled their order.

Advice to customers: consider giving your courier a bonus by leaving a good review in the app or other rating services. It matters in their work.
