> A tip is essentially an extra 15-20% pseudo-tax on food delivery

Then what's the delivery fee?



Extra profit for the app, on top of the 30% they charge the restaurant. They do technically pull from the delivery fee for the base offering to drivers, but they certainly don't start the offering there.


The fee is to make the delivery happen at all, the tip is to make it happen in a timely manner.


to make the delivery fee seem lower than it really is.
