Gopuff delivery model and driver compensation structures
Gopuff operates a delivery model where partners collect orders from a central facility rather than traveling between various retail locations. Delivery partners receive a base fee for each trip, which is determined by the estimated time and effort required, and they retain 100% of their tips.
Additional compensation structures include Missions, which offer extra earnings for completing specific delivery targets, and Wait Pay, which provides a per-minute rate for scheduled partners waiting at a facility. Historical data from the company indicated per-order fees ranging from $2.25 to $5.00, with average earnings for U.S. partners reported at approximately $18 per hour in 2021.
