A recent study by Gridwise reveals that food delivery workers earned over half of their income from tips last year. Specifically, the analysis indicates that tips constituted 53.4% of total earnings for food delivery drivers and 45.7% for grocery deliverers. Many gig workers report that base pay from companies like DoorDash and Uber Eats is often insufficient, prompting them to seek tips to make their work financially viable. The report evaluated 171 million trips, shedding light on the significant impact of tips for gig work compensation.
Food delivery drivers made 53.4% of their total earnings from tips on average last year, highlighting the reliance on customer generosity for their income.
The pay that companies such as DoorDash and Uber Eats offer can be as low as $2 or $3, forcing workers to depend heavily on tips.
