I’ve noticed that my customer ratings have a huge impact on my tips, sometimes more than I expected. The other day, I delivered during peak hours and got a 5-star rating, and my tip was way better than usual. What strategies do you all use to keep your ratings high, especially during busy shifts?
I’ve found that a friendly chat at the door can really boost the vibes and your rating. It’s like putting on a smiley face sticker — everyone loves it! Have you tried giving personalized delivery updates while you’re on the road?
I totally get where you’re coming from; , it really gets frustrating when you’re putting in the effort and don’t see it reflected in tips. I’ve found that during busy times, if I confirm delivery details and show gratitude, it helps a ton.
For those busy shifts, I always try to personalize the delivery in small ways, like mentioning something about the weather or their order. It’s like adding a personal touch to a gift — people remember it! How do you feel about using little notes or stickers with your deliveries?
It’s true that personal touches matter. I like to leave a small thank-you note with my delivery — it shows I care. @jameson54, have you ever tried that, or do you think it’s too much?
