Don't think in set amounts, Consider the attitude. the Promptness, the service, then go from there. You don't owe them nothing. You tip them as a thanx.

We always give $2 as a standard tip for us being too lazy to go out. In a restaurant we tip 20%. But the driver didn't get us drinks or more napkins or anything. But if it's a large order like when the kids are over and we get 5 pizzas and wings and this and that, then the tip goes up.

Depends on where they are coming from. I dont usually use a percentage for a delivery because it usually isnt any extra work to carry three pizzas as oppose to one. Most pizza places now have a delivery charge included. If it didnt take too long to get my food to me then I usualy give 2-3 more dollars on top of the charge.

Usually there's a delivery charge attached to the subtotal. The driver gets that. I always give another $2-$5 depending on the order total.

Most of those drivers are making min. wage and live on tips. They drive their own cars and have to pay for their own gas. That said, tip for service. If you know that the start location is half-way across town you may want to throw in an extra buck for mileage that you would have spent getting it yourself. If it is right next door to your apartment complex and it took them like 40 seconds to get to your door, then no big deal. Most people that are delivering food have some other things going on in their lives, such as school, another job, 5 kids to feed, etc. They do it because they have to for the most part, not because they love it. If they show up on time and with a good attitude, reward them nicely. It's your food they're carrying. Don't feel obligated to tip for bad or rude service, especially if you'll never use them again. I use a 10% rule for average service, more or less what you asked for but had to wait a while. 15% for good service and attitude, prompt and exactly what you asked for. 20% for exceptional service, such as showing up with complimentary goodies, bringing your newspaper to the door, handing you extra condiments and a menu with coupons for next time, etc.

The current standard for tips at restuarants and with delivery is 10% of the amount you paid, but i also agree that it should also depend on if you had bad service.

i am a server and from what i understand it would be at least 10-15% of the total bill. i think the national tip percentage is 18% but sometimes thats too much.
