Question

When ordering delivery is the delivery charge included in the total or do you have to tip?

Answer 1

The delivery charge often does not go to the driver, but to the restaurant.

I'll include a link to a site by a delivery driver that explains a lot.

Always tip - delivery drivers usually make minimum wage or less and rely on tips. And if there's a mix up or delay, it's most often the cook/kitchen's fault, not the driver's, so don't take it out on them.

Answer 2

If there is a delivery charge, it would be listed in the total.  That charge pays for the cost of the delivery, not the driver's time and effort.  Slip the driver a few bucks, heh?

Answer 3

You have to tip its not included.

Answer 4

At pizza hut, the delivery charge is now $2, the driver only gets 97 cents.

the delivery charge is misleading because drivers do not get the full amount, while 72% of customers think that we are getting the full delivery charge. So as the cost of gas rises, delivery drivers get pinched on 2 fronts. By the misunderstanding charge, and rising expenses.

Answer 5

You have to tip your delivery person

Answer 6

Delivery charge is usually included in the price and then you tip when food is delivered.

IF you are talking about an item - then no tipping of course
