Uber, Grubhub and DoorDash must pay NYC delivery workers an $18 minimum wage::New York Acting Supreme Court Justice Nicholas Moyne rejected a bid by Uber, DoorDash and Grubhub to block a bill requiring a minimum wage for app-based delivery workers.
Nah, they’ll just add yet another surcharge to the meals. Food through DoorDash is already at least double vs getting it yourself. What’s a little more. They’ll probably look at the average deliveries per hour and use that to divide up the $18… then pad it a bit to make sure they don’t come up short. Corporate will likely turn a profit on this, unless is makes orders drop significantly. But I have to assume the regular delivery customers are pretty price insensitive.
The point is realising that you can pay a liveable wage and still be profitable.
So if all this happens, that’s great.
