Seattle now faces the highest DoorDash delivery prices in the United States

Описание: Starting this month, consumers in Seattle will face even more increases on DoorDash service fees for all deliveries due to the city's regulations that raise delivery and operating costs.

DoorDash, which reported operating at a loss in Seattle in 2024, announced the fee hikes in response to the city's policies and revenue losses due to decreased orders from the existing high fees.

The PayUp law, enacted Jan. 2024, was supposed to ensure minimum wage paid by gig work companies, including DoorDash, UberEats, and Instacart, but some restaurants and customers have said it backfired.

Seattle's regulations require delivery platforms to pay workers nearly $30 an hour before mileage and tips, which DoorDash representatives say is significantly higher than the city's minimum wage.

In order to meet the $26.40 an hour minimum wage before tips requirement, DoorDash tacked on a $4.99 fee to all orders, and in August 2024 added an additional $1.99 minimum service fee for orders from DashPass subscribers.
