Tourist Tips for the USA

All Three Apps Work Everywhere: Unlike most countries, you have genuine choice in the USA. All three apps have national coverage. Pick whichever has the best restaurants in your specific area.

Tipping Culture: Tipping is customary in the USA for delivery drivers. 15-20% tip is standard. Most apps default to suggesting a 18-20% tip. You can adjust lower, but drivers appreciate fair compensation.

Delivery Times & Fees: Expect 30-45 minute deliveries in cities, longer in suburbs. All three apps charge delivery fees (typically $2-5) plus small service charges. The fees are included in your quoted total.

Payment Methods: All apps accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx) and digital payment (Apple Pay, Google Pay). You can also save cards to your account for faster checkout on future orders.

Delivery Address Details: US addresses are straightforward: street address, apartment/suite number (if applicable), city, state, ZIP code. Apartment building instructions help drivers find your exact location (e.g., "Knock on door 5B").

Regional Variations: Coverage and selection vary by location. Rural areas may have limited options. Major metros (NYC, LA, Chicago, SF) have unlimited selection. Always check app availability before deciding on your location.
