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.
