The receipts — real demand
“Why do we have to decide how much to tip before the driver does the work? No where else is that the standard, even when it comes to Lyft and Uber for the sake of driving - you add the tip after.

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Food delivery customers frustrated by upfront tipping. Zero search volume indicates this friction exists but has not yet generated search demand, possibly because customers accept the status quo or lack awareness that an alternative exists.
Competition & the opening
Competition is minimal (1/10), but Uber and Lyft already offer post-trip tipping for rides; the gap is that food delivery apps (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) force pre-trip tips, creating a distinct UX problem with no direct challenger.
What's hard to build
Hard because you must convince both drivers and restaurants to adopt a new platform in a market dominated by entrenched networks. Driver economics depend on upfront tip visibility to accept orders, and feasibility is 8/10—meaning platform dynamics and network effects are the real barriers, not technology.
Why now
Post-tip is now standard for food delivery and rideshare; gig delivery apps still force pre-tip, creating friction and resentment.
