Found a weird trick for bagging more delivery tips in Seattle
I've been doing food delivery for about 8 months (mostly dinner rushes near Capitol Hill) and tips were all over the place. Last week I tried adding a handwritten thank you note to every bag, just a quick scribble on a sticky note. My average tip jumped from $3 to almost $6 per order in just 5 days. Has anyone else tried something small like this that actually moved the needle?

Wait, did the notes actually mention anything specific or was it just a generic "thanks"? I tried this in Portland a few months back but with a little drawing of a smiley face holding a steering wheel. My tips went up too, but I also noticed certain times of day mattered way more. The 5-7pm crowd for me tipped higher without the notes, but the late night munchies orders (like 10pm-1am) doubled their tips with a note. Might be worth tracking which orders respond best to it.

@wesley639 your late night trick is solid, I saw the same bump here with a simple "thanks!" note.
