    Tipping is paying for the service. Having someone deliver food to your doorstep is a luxury. The restaurant needs to be paid for the food, the service needs to be paid for facilitating the delivery, and the driver should be paid for the service.

      Why not actually price it into the cost of the food. Like any delivery x distance will cost x amount. Like actually charge what they want instead of this arbitrary guessing game.

      Like you know… Like how online orders will provide the shipping cost to the consumer and then not expect tips, since the shipping cost is already accounted.

      Charge what they want…
