DoorDash Introduces Optional Hourly Pay for Delivery Drivers Amid Changes

DoorDash will now offer delivery drivers the option to earn an hourly pay rate in addition to tips for the time spent fulfilling orders.
Customers can increase or add tips for up to 30 days after delivery, and drivers can choose offers that take them directly to a picked start point.
The hourly rates will vary regionally but aim to be equal to local minimum wages; drivers will earn the hourly rate for the time between picking up and delivering an order.
The changes come in response to feedback and aim to give drivers more control and fair compensation.
Along with pay changes, DoorDash is updating its app to improve the experience for drivers, merchants, and customers.
