Interesting! Asking from a customer perspective, I always assumed that the app groups together other orders that are close by pick ups and drop offs and that’s how the delivery persons are able to support even smaller ticket deliveries. Is that not the case?

I always think about how much to tip? Is it x% of the order amount ( e.g., 20% of $15 order doesn’t seem to be enough in the suburbs) or is it $x based on the distance and time for delivery?

if it’s busy enough, you get a stack of 2 orders.

how much you tip is up to you. if a driver thinks its too low, they won’t take it.

i personally tip $1 per mile. if a restaurant is 3 miles away, i tip $3 . Unless i order alot of food . in that case ill throw them a $10

Typically with DoorDash as long as there is drivers available willing to take an order they won’t stack it. So sadly most of our orders are just one person.

It’s both. At minimum you should be tipping miles from restaurant times 2. But if you ordering really expensive food or a lot of food increase the tip a bit.
