Restaurant Delivery in Miami?

admin — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:27:23 +0000

Thanks!

What makes you more mad, food sucking in a restaurant or food sucking in a delivery?

In a restaurant.

Does the pizza delivery man get the "delivery fee" you’re charged at checkout, or does the restaurant keep it?

Our family orders from Papa Johns pizza quite a bit, and we are always charged a delivery fee. I was wondering if that goes towards the tip or if the restaurant keeps that money?

Typically the delivery guy gets NONE of the delivery charge, only a small hourly wage plus tips, and has to pay for gas and maintenance on their vehicle themselves. Tip them. It DOES make a difference when the drivers are considering which pizzas to deliver first, and who can blame them?

If a restaurant charges a delivery free, are you still supposed to tip the driver?

Yes, you are. Most (pizza) drivers only work 3-4 hours a night because there’s really only a few hours where a lot of people order. (About 6-9PM or so.)

DRIVERS D O LIVE ON TIPS. Sure, they might get full min. wage, but it doesn’t add up at all. In fact, paychecks are really just an after-thought, maybe enough to pay the cell phone bill (cell phones are also required to do the job, since some company policies require a call-back before delivery, or the customer notes: "Please call when at front door!").

Also, if your pizza is "late", most of the time it is NOT the driver’s fault. It’s manager’s failure to schedule, it’s 6 deliveries ordered at the same time with only 2 drivers, it’s the online system that the store has no control over telling you the wrong delivery times, it’s the pizza-maker’s fault for making the wrong pizza and having to remake it after the mistake was baked for 8 minutes….

Basically, I’m saying: Please tip the driver. Unless they’re rude, disrespectful in some way, completely "drugged out", or stomping on your garden gnomes. Drivers rely on tips just as much as a waiter does.

And they’re not just "driving your food over". They map out your location (manually, usually), figure out short-cuts, memorize your gate codes, avoid high-traffic routes according to the time of day (they could EASILY sit in traffic on the way to your house and chill with stereo, but they don’t) ….

Plus, if you tip well, they’re likely to remember you, and probably will make a mental note next time you order to include some extra cheese packets or maybe even push your order to the front of the line… (;

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:39:31 +0000

I usually give $3-$10 depending on how far they have to travel an the amount of the bill. (remember alot of the drivers depend on tips as part of their salary)

When a restaurant charges a delivery fee, does that money go to the delivery driver or the restaurant?

admin — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 06:44:51 +0000

I used to work at a restaurant where the chef was the owner. He would put on a 10% service charge on the order (that I assembled while trying to take care of my tables) and HE KEPT IT.

I do not trust that it does, so I tip well. Someone is bringing me food.
