Well you're adding two parties to the transaction. If you go to McDonald's you just have to pay McDonald's. If you use a delivery app you also have to pay the delivery person and the app.
Unfortunately… after baking in some income for the extra party, the delivery service…Well, said party wants to shift the burden of compensating empl… contractors to you. Through a tip! That’s fun. You can show your… appreciation. For them doing their job. Super motivating for drivers. Especially when everyone tips well.
Oh…
They brought the third party. Didn’t have to.
Could it be two parties? Sure. Pizza places, all you have to pay are the pizza place. And the driver they also didn’t wish to compensate fairly. But not all restaurants deliver.
