How would the company decide how many hours a driver worked?
Honest question, what's the issue with the current model?

I agree with you. Fortunately, some restaurants have wisened up to this. They don't want to put the burden on their entire customer base, so they basically carry two different menus with different pricing. If you order online or through an app, you will see one price. If you call them or place your order in person and wait, you get a different, cheaper price. I've been told this by two different restaurants lately, one Chinese and one Vietnamese. They will do the delivery services, but they aren't going to lose their asses on every order.

You want $33/hour? Fine but work a minimum number of hours to get that and you don’t get to be as picky on your trips since tips won’t be as important. Hours worked could be the time you’re actively picking up and delivering.
In a similar business based out of NYC. This population is the least reliable, shittiest performing out of any hourly population I've been associated with.
We had to move to a set schedule vs on demand because they couldn't be trusted to pick up. So now we monitor hours in our delivery app, pay a significant portion of wage directly. Its a group that needs to be tightly controlled like children because theyre largely fricking terrible. Now throw in behavior. I've seen one courier pull a gun on a customer. Another try to run a customer over with his car when said customer tried to prevent him from stealing a neighbors Amazon package.
Yeah, let's give these turds 70k while NYPD makes ~50.

The delivery services take a cut of every item ordered to the tune of ~25%.
For strictly online orders, which use different services, the Chinese joint I go to gets charged $2 for every order. The way the owner did it was for the restaurant to pay a dollar and the customer to pay a dollar. Prices online are $1 higher than in the restaurant.

This is a dumb response.
You’re acting like just because doordash exists that you deserve to be able to get food with no tip.
No tip no trip should be the motto of anyone wanting to make money dashing. If you dash you’re an independent contractor.
A driver not taking an order because someone doesn’t understand economics is the same thing as a contractor turning away a tightwad homeowner.

As far as the online ordering, I've not seen anywhere here doing that yet thankfully.
