$7 billion food delivery startup DoorDash is taking pay from people making close to minimum wage.

The way it works: DoorDash guarantees drivers a minimum payment for each delivery, but use tips to fulfill that minimum. If a user tips more, it doesn’t mean the worker gets paid more. DoorDash just pays less. The driver often won’t benefit from the tip at all, but can’t tell — DoorDash doesn’t disclose how much a user tipped on a given job.

From DoorDash FAQ:

For each delivery, you will always receive at least $1 from DoorDash plus 100% of the customer tip. Where that sum is less than the guaranteed amount, DoorDash will provide a pay boost to make sure you receive the guaranteed amount. Where that sum is more than the guaranteed amount, you pocket the extra amount.

Grocery delivery company Instacart, when recently exposed for similar pay practices, relented and updated their policies. However, DoorDash has doubled down. In a recent interview, CEO Tony Xu claimed that “in no way does DoorDash benefit economically from this model.” That’s a blatant lie when every dollar tipped means DoorDash makes more money, not drivers.

Last week, DoorDash closed another $400 million round of funding. Silicon Valley investors clearly don’t care that DoorDash cheats drivers — in fact, DoorDash is likely being rewarded for adopting practices that improve their profit margins and treats drivers unfairly.

However, investors do care that their startups can hire the best tech talent to help them execute on their mission.

We, current and future tech workers, have a message for DoorDash execs and investors: we will not work for you until you fix your pay practices.

This means you must:

Set a pay floor of $15 for every active hour with an active job, after accounting for expenses like mileage and extra payroll taxes paid by contractors. Award user tips on top of pay — not deducted from it. Provide drivers more transparency, including a detailed breakdown of pay.

We see you, DoorDash, and we will not be quiet until you give your workers the respect and compensation they deserve.
