Beginning in December 2023, you may notice some changes in the Uber Eats app. These updates are related to a new guaranteed minimum earnings rule for third-party couriers established by the City of New York.

As always, tipping is optional and is a way to thank your courier for excellent service. Couriers will still receive 100% of tips for any given order.
