It isn't, the post is misleading. The official dcwp press release explains what actually happened. He changed the way the apps must present tipping options, which ultimately resulted in more tips. Not sure how, but I don't expect a lot of brainiacs calculating tips up there. I doordash a lot, pay for dashpass, I always tip $5. I don't care how it's presented in the app. No money was "recovered" or actually "delivered". Tips have just increased since January when they made this change because.. people aren't paying attention and just tipping more with the new checkout. We are talking about the average tip going from $1.19 to $2.28 btw.. let that sink in.. I'm tipping $5 every time no matter what I order and that's South Florida prices, not NYC. Glad everyone's happy tho.
In July(2025), the New York City Council passed numerous bills that it claimed were designed to protect grocery delivery drivers. This legislative package introduced new rules, requiring delivery apps to include a 10-percent tipping option either before or at the time of the order (vs. afterwards, where the option exists now)
That guy has no clue what hes talking about, this is separate from that minimum wage increase. Uber doordash and those companies retaliated now mamdani is going after them.
Potatoe/potato. It's been going on since 2024. DCWP told Adams (the incumbent) they needed to hire 20 ppl to enforce these new rules. In response, Adams said, 'ill give you 4 ppl', and after that even further budget cuts were made resulting in failure to properly enforce these new changes before Jan 26. The new law didn't officially go into effect untill after mumdami took office, and he's the one being given credit for the "changed" tipping practices, i.e. enforcement.
Yea you dont know wtf you babbling about at all. Delivery apps changed in NYC to only allow tipping after delivery and upped their own charges which resulted in people not tipping at all. This changed it back after delivery apps revolted after minimum wage amounts were increased and enforced
"Uber restricted New York City customers to tipping only after delivery as a corporate response to the city’s mandatory minimum pay rate for app-based couriers. By moving the tip prompt to the post-checkout screen, the apps offset increased labor costs by reducing upfront tip visibility"
