I've stopped using delivery platforms -- door dash, Uber eats, postmates -- because of the exorbitant costs for food delivery nowadays. Either I try to pick up directly from the restaurant, order from a place that does its own delivery or make my own food.

Those delivery platforms take a huge chunk of the revenue from any food sale. If you really want to help the restaurant, call them directly to order. A lot in our area have their own delivery people working, so you can avoid Grubhub/EatStreet/Uber Eats, etc.

 

And always tip cash when possible.

Just talking about local delivery people. Shipt. Instacart. Peapod. Local restaurant. Pizzeria. Etc. Leave a little something something in an envelope on the welcome mat.

The tip you include with the electronic credit/debit payment is often split with the company.

 

We use Shipt a fair amount. I always hit the driver with some cash. They're taking the shopping risk for me, that's the least I can do.
