I delivered for Pita & Sticks in 2015 when it was a new restaurant. The owner refused to pay me my last paycheck after I quit and found another delivery job.

Point is.. delivery drivers were treated like shit before GrubHub and Uber. Before it was restaurant owners. Not all, but many.

Now that the deliveries are all centralized to a few companies, it’s an opportunity to get delivery workers better wages and benefits.

I used to deliver pizza around 2010, and was averaging 5~6 dollars per delivery (half from the pizza shop and half from tips) and 2~3 deliveries per hour, it was a very exploitative job, but actually better than many other manual labor jobs I've had...out of 10 or so such jobs, it's probably top 3.

How much income do they make on grubhub outside the tip the customer pays?

This is the first time I've ever seen anyone suggest that Uber has treated their drivers with anything but contempt.
