One thing that frustrates me is that as far as I'm aware none of the delivery apps provide an option for me to tip the restaurant. Especially in these times I want to give some extra support to the workers preparing my meal. The lack of that option is one of the main reasons I usually pick up myself; if any of the delivery apps added the feature I would immediately switch to it!


UberEats definitely had options to tip restaurants earlier this year during the early days of lockdown. Sadly the option seems to have been removed since.


Yes, I definitely wish they would add this back permanently and also let me choose the tip rather than the small fixed tip they had before.

But then again, maybe this would create an incentive for delivery services to raise costs for restaurants?


A few restaurants on caviar offered a $10 or $20 item on their menu that goes directly to their workers, which I thought was nice. Would be cool to see that productized.
