Do you, as a person who delivers through DoorDash or UberEats or what have you, prefer to be tipped through the app or in cash?

Adding a good tip in the app is a good way to ensure your order will actually get accepted and picked up quickly. Many drivers decide to take an order based upon the payout they see listed in the app.

That's funny since you can change the tip at any time even after the delivery. Plus doesn't it go against the whole concept of a tip to decide how much to pay before services are rendered?

Technically tips were originally given upfront to ensure good service, not after the fact.
