Whats Your Delivery Charge?

[December]

Im thinking of raising my Delivery Fee.

Currently $1.75

Its less than what others stores around me charge.

Whats tge consensus on delivery fees?

 

[brad_randall]

Just raised ours from $2.49 to $4 a couple months back along with charging $1 more on the base price of every pizza.

Was considering $2.50 for no real scientific reason,… it just sounds like a number I wouldn’t get alot of complaints about

 

[Steve]

We’re at $2. What’s .ost of your competition doing?

i follow what domino’s does in my town…as such I am going up from $3.95 to $4.95 in the next few weeks. I figure if they can charge that much for an inferior product, I could too…

How much do you pay driver per delivery? I charge $4.50 but that’ll rise Jan 1

 

[idahopizzaman]

I just changed mine to $2.50-4.50 depending on how far away the delivery is. I also pay all but .50 to the driver if they are driving their own car.

We reimburse $1 of the delivery charge to the driver. They average over $30/hr (not including cash tips - I track credit card tips with wages & reimbursement every week with payroll) so there is no need to give them more. Why do insiders want to work in the kitchen when they can make more driving is a serious issue…

This is a HUGE issue. Everyone wants to deliver the food no one wants to cook the food

1.25 out of $2 total

Other stores in my area range from

Free delivery-$7.00

 

[tkelly248]

This is the rise of 3rd party delivery services. Everyone goes to work for them, leaving no one for us small independents to hire

Amazon has been more of a problem for me…I lost 2 key insiders (not drivers) to them this year and have been yet to find decent replacements

 

[Rico]

I’m at $2.00. Going to go to $2.99 in a few weeks to help cover the minimum wage and tipped wage increase for 2021 in NYS

 

[Steve]

We’ve actually gained drivers from door dash because they weren’t making money with them

 

[December]

Went up to $2.50 today. Going to see if I get any complaints.

 

[pizzapirates]

We are basically at $4.99.

I do have areas that I charge as much as $9.99. They don’t seem to mind paying it.

 

[wkronberg]

My fees range from $2.50 to $5.00 depending on how far away they are. I keep $0.25 to $0.50 to cover reruns and any free deliveries. The third party providers charge more.

I started $2.50 delivery fee yesterday. So far no issue.

A quick little side story. Unbeknownst to my drivers I added an additional .50 for my drivers per delivery for gas compensation. My drivers keep track of their tips and know how much they owe or I owe them everynight.
I cash them out at the end of the night kind of expecting them to say something like hey I have an extra $15 bucks, you sure you did it right? But nothing

We start at $3 and up to $5 if you are on the fringe of our delivery area. We are $6 if delivering to a hotel. Split 50/50 with driver.
