Why the pay is better here

The big apps stack fees on the customer and hand drivers a $2–$4 base. We flipped it: the customer pays one simple fee, you see exactly what you'll keep, in dollars, before you accept, and tips are 100% yours. Level up from Courier → Pro → Elite for higher per-delivery pay and first dibs on the best orders.

Same delivery. Two paychecks.

A $30 dinner order. On DoorDash, the driver typically sees a $2–$4 base — the fee stack goes to DoorDash. On Golden Hour, you keep $4.80 (80% of the delivery fee), shown on the offer before you accept — plus 100% of the tip. That's not a promotion. It's the business model: we take a capped 5% service fee; they take ~15% uncapped.
