Answer
The Dasher can see your tip because it is a physical object that is in front of their face.
How to tell if you’ve been tipped BEFORE accepting a DoorDash
DoorDash Dasher: You Can NO LONGER See Tip Earnings!
As a rule of thumb, tipping should be about 20% of the total cost. $5 is not a good tip for DoorDash because the average delivery fee is $5.
DoorDash is not a bad company. It’s not a good company either. It’s just a company. The only reason it’s bad is because of the people who work for it and the people who use it.
There are two tips that I have seen for DoorDash Drivers. One is 10% of the order’s total cost, which includes the order’s base cost and any additional charges. The other is a dollar amount based on a percentage of what the driver makes per hour.
Door dashers are typically not able to see your name, as they are usually just knocking on doors and moving on. However, if you’re giving out candy to trick-or-treaters, you may want to keep your name off the door so that children do not know where they can find more of it.
Yes, the tip goes to the Dasher. The Dasher gets the same amount as the person who ordered.
If you don’t tip, the driver will get a notification that you didn’t tip. For every order, DoorDash calculates a suggested tip amount and displays it on the checkout screen for customers to see. If customers don’t tip, then they’ll receive a notification from DoorDash that they didn’t tip.
