Grubhub drivers are not legally obligated to give tips to customers, but many do choose to do so. A recent study by Thrillist found that employees at the restaurant delivery company commonly tip between 20-24 percent.
This means that, on average, a driver will receive about $4.50 for every order they deliver.
Some have argued that Grubhub drivers should not receive tips at all because they are not technically employees of the company. However, the vast majority of drivers report enjoying their work and feel like they are helping to make a difference in the lives of their customers.
In fact, many say that tips help make the job enjoyable.
Ultimately, it is up to each driver to decide how much to tip and what to tip for. Grubhub does not require drivers to disclose how much they are tipping, so it is difficult to know exactly how much is being given to drivers.
However, the company does offer a tip calculator, which can help drivers determine the right amount to tip.
