The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- New York City has been enforcing rules requiring delivery apps like Uber Eats and DoorDash to show clear tipping options at checkout, ending the practice of hidden tip buttons and default tips below 10%.
- According to a Department of Consumer and Worker Protection report, delivery workers have earned an extra $104 million in tips since January, with average tips per delivery rising from $1.18 to $2.29.
- The city's roughly 70,000 app-based delivery workers are on pace to earn about $2,287 more each per year, while weekly orders have grown rather than declined.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani signalled the enforcement drive against the apps will continue.
What to watch next
- Further enforcement actions by DCWP, whose budget grew by over $4 million in June to add staff
- Response from Uber Eats and DoorDash, which did not comment on the report
- Whether the mayor extends his crackdown to other aspects of how delivery apps treat workers
