DoorDash and the New Economics of Tipping

• gnicholas 3y ago
  > If a no-tip order sits too long, DoorDash will raise the base pay until a driver — known as a Dasher — finally picks it up. This means that by offering a bigger tip up-front, you enable DoorDash to offer lower base pay for your order. It is true that 100% of the tip goes to the driver, but it's also true that from an economic perspective, DoorDash benefits from people tipping in advance, since it allows them to keep their base pay lower.
