Do I still give the driver a monetary tip?
|
|
I don't think the fee goes to the driver, but that's up to you whether to tip or not.
I always did, but the delivery fee and my normal tip amount inclines me to go pick it up myself. |

|
The delivery fee is not given to the driver. Tipping is up to you.
|
|
What's the damn fee for then? I'm cool with tipping the driver, no problem there.
|
|
I hate ordering delivery. Why? Because if the driver feels the tip was inadequate my future orders will be marked "special".
I'll go pick it up, thanks. |
|
i refuse to have my pizza delivered , nearly ads 50 percent to the cost, call ahead pick it up on the way home. chinese is the worst.

This is a tricky one. I worked at papa johns as driver. I made well above minimum wage, and received a small portion of the delivery fee collected based on how many runs I delivered. My shop only covered around a 10 mile area and 'all my deliveries were close by. Without tips, I was still doing just fine. With my tips on weekends or with big deliveries I could average $200-300 a night.

I had to have my own insurance. But they had to provide suplemental for my car being used in a commercial setting. Not to mention also I was paid $9.50 an hour back when the minimum wage was $5.15 |

You have to be kidding me. The driver is parked in the cul-de-sac chatting with my neighbor.
While my pie gets cold. |
|
the choice is tip the driver or go pick it up yourself
ordering delivery and not tipping the driver would be the wrong thing to do |

I know someone who said she made about as much as a waitress at Ruby Tuesdays (the shittiest chain incarnation of the applebees-type restaurants) on a friday or saturday, but always complained about making nothing on weeknights. |

I always order online and put the tip in apart of my order...
Pizza seems to get here quicker....FYI order online...type 25off in the code/discount section. Get 25% off your order. |

Not really. At least $100 a night in tips. I actually usually had more free money then than I do now as an E5. |

I just made my son quit his job delivering pizzas. Company charged customers a $2 premium and he only got $1 plus tips and min. wage. Problem was, it was wearing his car out so damned fast, I couldn't keep up with the repairs. They would make deliveries outside of the delivery area, and most assholes around here don't tip. He barely made enough to cover gas, and one day he was having car problems when a coil pack died and they told him he would have to have his car towed home before he could get off work.
That was the final straw for me. |

It doesnt go to the driver, according to their disclaimer.

When I was delivering just a few years ago, we made minimum wage while in the store, and waiter wage ($4 something?) while on the road. We were given just under a dollar per delivery out of that $2.50 delivery fee. This led to the majority of my income being tips, that said a decent night was still under a hundred bucks a night. And this store was in the nicer, better tipping area.I think when it was decent, I averaged a little under $12 an hour all said and done if I remember right. This is without counting anything for repairs, increased wear, tires, oil, and that time I came out of an apartment and my bumper was hit by someone kind enough to leave nothing. I had a great manager and a couple decent co-workers, but I just couldn't do it for very long. It was cutting into my ammo
There was never a way to mark a poor tipper, but if you made a habit of tipping poorly, or well, we generally caught on pretty quickly, and it did affect the service. though we never messed with the food regardless ( that I knew of). TLDR; Yes, please tip your driver, this is generally the majority of his income. |

last time (long ago) I went to buffalo wild wings, they calculated the tip automatically into my check, then left a line for additional tip.

When I delivered pizza for Little Caesars in Tulsa we received $0.75 per delivery from the store plus tips, on top of our hourly wage.

On the subject of tipping, if I add tip to my online order, does the driver know/get the money? I did that once, and when the pizza guy delivered the pizza I just thanked him and he went on his way. I got the feeling that he thinks I stiffed him on a tip.

Delivery fee = I don't order from you....
Soon they will start charging fees just to look at their websites... |
|
I tip the delivery drivers. They don't make much as it is ... kids need to make their beer money some how.

When I was slinging pies in a suburb of New Orleans I was bringing home 400-500 a week in cash, like clockwork. Seasonal booms could bring it up to a grand a week .... cash. This was WAY pre-Katrina, like '94 or '95. I was making a dollar more than minimum wage, 75 cents a trip and tips. I was doing just fine, money wise. |

Tip the driver. When I order online for lunch at work, he pulls up to the loading dock at 12:05 on the dot. Exactly when I told them to.

It's just a fee to add to the bottom line. Papa john doesn't even have dine in anywhere I've seen. 2.00 delivery charge more like 2.00 charge to eat shitty pizza. Lol no thanks.

Pizza-delivery AAR:
He drove the pizza 1.3 miles to my house, then sat in the street for 5 minutes talking to my neighbor. I think I was pretty generous, having given him 16 percent of the total order after that little stunt. |

In Colorado, any of the 21 Papa John's owned by Peyton Manning expect a free joint from the customer for each pizza delivered...

I always tip 3-4 dollars based on weather. I know my driver by name. Alberto always has it to me within 15-20 minutes. He's damn good and will go out of his route to deliver mine first.

Didn't we do this last week?
Always tip your driver. If you don't, they either fucked up bad, or you're a shitty cheap ass person who shouldn't be ordering delivery in the first place. |

The delivery fee is more than double what the company paid the driver prior to the fee being instituted, therefore the company is keeping for themselves more than what they pay out to the driver for the gas.
example for the confused: Papa J's gives $1 gas to driver before fee started. Papa J's charges $2.50 fee now, $1 of which goes to the driver...where does that additional $1.50 go? Straight into Papa J's pocket. It would be fair if they simply asked for the $1 they always gave before and after. It's bullshit and the sole reason I'll never have delivery besides the fact that I prefer to pick it up in person BEFORE it even comes out of the oven for maximum freshness. Fuck those oven bags that your pie suffocates in for upto an hour. |

We did have a trick we would use on people when i worked there, but it truly was reserved for the worst kind of people. (not bad tippers, but people really mean to the call takers, or that would try and con us out of free pizzas) It was to take the black olive juice and cover the whole pizza with it before you topped it. It would let the pizza cook normally, but everything on it would taste off. The sauce would always kind of separate, and the crust would be soggy down to the bottom. Made us feel better for someone being a prick. |

View Quote Nah, when I was in HS I drove pizza (a long time ago, but still) & we assumed everyone was going to be a deadbeat until they tipped. The people who tipped very well got fought over, people who tipped got priority, and deadbeats just got their pies last. ETA: But, I have no idea what this new "delivery fee" is. We never charged a delivery fee, and the drivers that were good made good money. (Mid 80s about $20 an hour.) I think the fee is fucking bullshit. Pizza places wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for delivery now. When was the last time you saw a sit-down Pizza Hut? |

Since I don't order from Papa John, the answer would be...............................no.
