How much do I tip restaurant delivery?? (1 Viewer)

Just the tip

I think $5 would be pretty standard. $10 would be appropriate in today's environment. 

Agreed on both points. Maybe higher even, depending.

It's a fair question. I'm just much more concerned with keeping our local joints afloat. It's basically the owner(s) and a couple staff running each shop - in one case, the staff is the owner's kids. 

Yeah I picked up some Chinese the other day from a small local place. I left a $15 tip, since it's all family working there.

A roll of wheat back pennies.  In this tough stock market environment that’s like giving out a bar of gold.

If it was a mom and pop place, I would definitely tip more. This is a large chain. I don't think I was cheap, but if I felt the delivery guy was in such peril that it deserved a 100% tip, I simply wouldn't order and subject them to that risk. Those tipping out of generosity, totally different. But then again, given the size of the chain, I'm pretty sure the driver is loading up 5 or 10 deliveries at a time. For $50 a delivery, I'd quit my job and start working for them. I'm figuring $300 to $500 an hour easy at that rate.

Starting off well. Apparently the restaurant contracted out to Door Dash for delivery and the driver went to the wrong location to pick up the food. Glad I set this up at lunch so we'd eat at our normal meal time.

Dominos has always been one of the more regressive franchises.

This seems fake. zero documentation other than that reddit post.

Turned out to be a pretty good night. Dinner, a good cab from our favorite vineyard, and rented The Invisible Man. Good flick by the way. Hopefully the night ends with a big bang.

Slap me if I'm hijacking this thread inapproriately, but what about tipping when it comes to grocery deliveries? Intuitively, I think orders would be splilt between refrigerated and unrefrigerated, where unrefrigerated items would be dropped off unattended.  Do mobile apps allow for built-in tipping.

Maybe this would be a good time for business to step up and state that they pay their delivery divers $15/20 per hr, and that no tipping is allowed.

ETA: To state the obvious, we need to know what delivery drivers are taking home, net.

Containers go right in the trash, food goes in the oven at 300 for 10 minutes and we wash up. Counters get wiped down. 

I tried this tonight.  Worst ####### sushi ever.

Just the doctor. I figure he could use the cash, I know med school ain't cheap. 

In lieu of a cash tip, I'd like a few more N95 masks!

Look at Mr Pink over here.

Also, if tipping try and do so in cash, if using apps there have been numerous instances of them where they take a massive cut, it defeats the purpose to tip $5 directly to doordash or whatever. 

PSA: Doordash is not covered in the temporary booze delivery law in Maryland. Check your local laws.

I’m a driver for instacart.  Orders don’t get separated but I shop for frozen and colder items last to keep them closer to temperature as well as bag them in thermal bags.  Built in tipping is in the app and we know what the tip is before we accept an order.  All we take home is the base pay instacart pays us plus tip ( normally higher than their pay) minus our vehicle expenses.  I’d say on average $15-$20/hr depending on how good and timely the shopper is.
