How Much Should You Tip on DoorDash?
Last updated
Ever wondered how much to tip when you’re getting your favorite eats delivered through DoorDash? You’re not alone! Let’s break down the tipping etiquette for DoorDash orders.
When you’re cozy at home and decide to order in, figuring out the right tip for your DoorDash delivery can sometimes feel like a math test. But don’t worry, we’ve got the answers for you!
What’s the Standard Tip for DoorDash Deliveries?
As a general rule of thumb, it’s nice to tip between 15% to 20% of your total order cost. This is pretty similar to what you’d tip at a restaurant, and it’s a way to say ‘thanks’ for the convenience.
However, you might consider tipping even more if the weather’s bad or if your delivery driver had to navigate some tricky obstacles to bring your meal to your door. They work hard, after all, and a little extra shows your appreciation.
Why Tipping Your DoorDash Driver Matters
DoorDash drivers work part-time, hustling to get your food to you hot and fresh. They get paid by the company, but tips are a significant part of their earnings. So, when you tip, you’re directly supporting your driver’s hard work and dedication.
Besides their base pay, tips can make a big difference in a driver’s earnings. And with DoorDash leading the US food delivery market, every tip contributes to a driver’s motivation to provide great service. So, tipping not only feels good but also encourages a positive delivery experience.
