They can choose to go get a real job too. I tip but I prefer to tip after delivery, like I normally would, like with a pizza delivery, check that it's right real quick, got everything, tip the delivery person.
But you should pre-tip with these apps because any regular driver of these apps can tell whether or not there's a minimum amount of tip added based on the base pay they're being offered and it may sit for a while waiting for someone to pick up the order.

LMAO some of you people are hilarious, in this economy with a pandemic on top of it where 40 million lost jobs. Where 2/3 of the country is facing utility shut off.
Just get a real job bro!
As I said, UberEats is being deliberately misleading by labeling the fee a "Service Fee" - that makes it sound like it goes either to the driver or to the people at the restaurant who prepare your food. They could have called it a "fee" or an "uber fee" which would have been less confusing. They also could provide a clear explanation on their website as to where this fee goes. They do neither of these things.
The item price is usually a couple dollars extra than the actual price in my area and on top of that there's the "service fee" which also makes no sense! Those apps need to be more transparent about their pricing. I don't mind paying extra (as I do know that it's going to be more expensive to get it delivered to you rather than picking the item up yourself) but I'd like to know exactly what I'm paying for and to whom!
- 100% of the menu price of the items goes to the restaurant. These prices are solely determined by the restaurant. The delivery companies do not manually mark them up.
- 100% of the service fee goes to the delivery company. This is similar to service fees for concert ticket brokers and other intermediary service providers.
- 100% of delivery tips go to the delivery driver.
Of course, there are natural interactions/effects between the parties:- The delivery companies charge the restaurants fees for use of the service. So most of the restaurants choose to increase their menu prices to maintain their probably-already-small margins. But the delivery companies don't directly dictate this.
- The service fees collected by the delivery companies get divvied up differently, depending on the company. Some goes to the driver, some goes to the company (you can probably find these percentages pretty easily by looking at delivery driver forums). Same as ride-sharing apps have been doing for several years.
In every app I've used (UberEats, DashPass, Caviar, GrubHub), these three costs are itemized on the summary screen before an order is finalized. I personally think that's an acceptable level of clarity. I think it's reasonable for the delivery service app developers to assume people know a "service fee" charged in an app goes to the service associated with the app and a "delivery driver tip" goes to the driver.As I said, UberEats is being deliberately misleading by labeling the fee a "Service Fee" - that makes it sound like it goes either to the driver or to the people at the restaurant who prepare your food.
