DoorDash is introducing a series of new features for users and delivery people on its platform, the company announced on Wednesday. Most notably, DoorDash is going to start giving delivery people the option to choose between two ways to earn.
“Earn by Time” is a new option that lets delivery people earn a guaranteed hourly minimum rate plus 100% of tips on top. DoorDash did not disclose what the hourly rate is. The second option is called “Earn Per Offer” and is the existing earning mode available on the platform, but with a more “efficient, streamlined suggest route,” DoorDash says. Delivery people who choose this way of earning will be shown upfront the guaranteed minimum amount they can expect to make plus 100% of tips.
