>> Minimum per-minute amount of $0.44 and a per-mile amount
Oh, good grief. Think, before you mindlessly quote. A $0.44 per-minute amount means that every 10 minutes = $4.44. (And that's not including whatever is the per-mile amount!) When was the last time a DoorDash order took less than 10 minutes for delivery?
>You may see a $5 there - that's the MINIMUM pay for the entire order, and it is an or, not an and. There is no obligation for them to charge an extra $5/order and pass it on to the driver.
There is also no obligation for DoorDash to not pass the cost on to the customer (not "driver"). To put another way, you are saying that the only correct outcome here is for DoorDash to absorb 100% of the $5 fee, no ifs, ands, or buts.
But this is beside the point because, as I said, you are mindlessly quoting without thinking:
>> Minimum compensation: Network companies must pay the greater of
In other words, the floor for the additional fee is $5, no matter what. If anything, it sounds like DoorDash is doing customers a favor by capping the Seattle-mandated fee addition they pay at $5, with it absorbing any excess amount. Conversely, I bet some GrubHub orders' prices went up by more than $5.
