There is no tipping service for places that deliver food in the UK as part of their food business e.g. Dominoes pizza. Drivers are hired like regular employees and are paid a wage, they are not paid based on order numbers. Tips are at your own discretion (if you chose to pay by cash).

This is in contrast to these delivery apps where Ubereats for example does not even class them as employees and they are paid per order basis.

Nobody tips a Mcdonalds worker or most other fast food workers. I don't tip the person that delivers my packages from Amazon. These are examples of why tipping culture is so bizarre and subjective, once a good will gesture and now taken advantage of by businesses.

If the wages are bare minimum I'll stop using their service, but I won't tip so the business continue their model.
