The restaurant doesn't get the order until it is accepted. With some restaurants the driver actually places the order. When a tip is given through the app the driver doesn't get all of it.

Ah, OK that makes a lot more sense. Otherwise I can envision orders just sitting there for hours waiting for someone to pick it up.

Interesting that the driver doesn't keep all of the tip. Is a portion withheld for tax purposes? Wait, these are independent contractors so there should be no withholding, just a 1099 at the end of the year, right?
