Pizza delivery q&a Are you supposed to tip for Chinese food delivery and other kinds of food? The same tip etiquette applies to other restaurant deliveries, such as Chinese, subs, wings, steak, and Mexican food. This includes multi-restaurant delivery services. The drivers in these variously themed stores use privately owned cars to make deliveries, just like with pizza. They receive the same low wages and survive on tips. Last updated: August 2, 2008
