- Delivery apps are changing up tipping and service fees for NYC customers.
- Minimum wage for app-based NYC drivers was recently raised to about $18 per hour.
- DoorDash, Uber Eats, and more are getting rid of tipping at checkout in response.
People who used DoorDash or Uber Eats in New York City this week got a surprise message when they tried to order lunch or dinner — no more tipping at checkout.
They also might have noticed a new fee tucked into their final bill that made it more expensive.
