How much should you tip on food delivery? Drivers say it should be based on distance and time, not just the total bill.
DoorDash fired a driver who cursed at a woman for tipping $5 on a $20 orderThe drivers Insider interviewed generally agreed that the baseline for a good tip is between 15% to 20% of the total bill — including taxes and fees.DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber EatsPercentage-based tips don't always account for the time and effort it takes to deliver an order, drivers said.Whether a $5 tip on a $20 order is good can depend on the circumstances of the delivery.
In New York City — or at least the financial district of Manhattan where we conducted our initial driver survey — distances can be nominal. For example, we ordered coffee from a Starbucks that was roughly 400 feet from Insider's office. If you estimate an arbitrary base pay of $2 and our tip of $2.50, drivers could earn around $4.50 on an order that took maybe 10 minutes to complete. That could amount to $27 an hour if a driver could nab five other similar jobs.
