Also why doesnt the person making the drink get a tip only the person bringing the drink....
I work as a healthcare worker i dont get tips for saving people lives.
The menu prices are inflated because they charge the restaurants large fees(usually 15%-30%) on top of charging consumers a service fee. Nowhere in the app says the prices could be different from menu prices if you order directly. If you care to do the math it's often like you would be paying $11-$12 in fees for $30 worth of food, plus taxes. Those prices also apply to pick-up orders which is really crazy high. It's unbelievable that they still lose money every quarter despite charging such a high % of fees. Something is very wrong with the business model.
Why not call it an "Uber fee". (An ironic, but accurate, title.)
I primarily object to the company being misleading. They don't clearly explain anywhere on their website who gets this money - but former Uber drivers have made it clear on other websites that it doesn't go to them, and restaurants have made it clear that they don't get it. If people think the fee goes to the driver, then they're not going to tip the driver as much - so the driver's are harmed by this misleading title.
UberEats also doesn't make explicit ANYWHERE that they've increased the prices of food items over what the restaurant itself charges.
I will choose not to use Uber. I don't support companies that mislead people.
As someone who does pickup almost exclusively when I use these apps, the difference is usually $0.50-1.00 for <$15 items, with some outliers both ways. At least with Caviar/DashPass, separate service fees aren't charged for pickup orders. As a consumer, the experience of ordering via app is significantly better than via phone (especially not having to do point of sale contact during COVID), so I'm fine paying the small premium, but get why others wouldn't be.
I'm a little confused why people would think a service/delivery fee would go to the driver or restaurant. The closest traditional analogy to these companies would probably be the market for concert/event tickets. Ticketmaster (and similar companies) act as intermediaries between venues and consumers. Venues pay them a base fee and charge customers a service fee on top of the base price of every ticket so they don't have to maintain all the infrastructure to track/sell tickets, just as UberEats/Caviar/DashPass provide a turn-key delivery service with a similar fee structure. I think it's pretty common knowledge among people I know that their concert ticket's service fee is going to Ticketmaster, not the venue/artist, so I'd expect the same for food delivery services, especially since the fee is only applied to orders placed through those apps.
It probably sounds like I'm a shill, but I'm just an amateur economists who occasionally gets confused why and at whom people get angry when the terms of a given situation seem pretty clear to me.

Also, how can you be Japanese and still use this logic? Japanese people are supposed to he smart and have honor and a shred of decency.
Also, comparing receiving tips in a tipping industry vs receiving tips for saving peoples lives...I doubt you're even in healthcare as your personality and logic are clearly not selfless.
If I ever deliver your Uber Eats order and you don't tip me because you dont believe in it vs not being able to afford it/poor service, imma treat myself to a free meal because you conveniently won't have answered and your address was too hard to find 😂
