NYC Targets Uber Eats, DoorDash After Motoclick Ban Over Tip Buttons New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's crusade against hidden tip buttons on food delivery apps has yielded a significant victory for app based workers.
The city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection report reveals that forcing Uber Eats and DoorDash to redesign their apps in January led to a substantial increase in tips for delivery workers.
According to the data, before the rule change, delivery workers averaged $1. 18 in tips per delivery; after, that number jumped to $2. 29.
