DoorDash is the only delivery service that allows Chick-fil-A One points to be redeemed. Other delivery services do not have this option.

Chick-fil-A keeps testing and expanding its delivery service at many locations, so if delivery is not available near you at this time, it may be available soon.

Chick-fil-A delivery orders are fulfilled by third-party delivery services like DoorDash, and it is recommended to tip the drivers 15-20% of the order total. The tip amount can be added to the ordering process at checkout.

Drivers for GrubHub, Uber Eats, Postmates, and DoorDash receive 100% of the tips and rely on them since the base pay is low.

Delivery drivers are considered contract workers and rely on tips to cover most of their expenses.

All service and delivery fees are shown to you before you place the order, but these are not shared with your driver since these fees are not part of their payment.
