While nearly 90% of food delivery trips get tips, less than a third of Uber and Lyft trips get tips.
That’s according to a new study of over 500,000 US gig drivers from Gridwise , a data analytics company and app that helps drivers track their earnings.
The study found that nearly 90% of food delivery trips get a customer tip, compared to 75% of grocery delivery trips and 28% of Uber and Lyft ride-hailing trips.
AdvertisementOne explanation for why Americans are more likely to tip food delivery drivers over ride-hailing drivers is that many tip them when their order is placed.
In comparison, customers generally tip their Uber and Lyft drivers during or after a ride is completed.
