App delivers food from Costco food carts — with markups of as much as 1,100%

That hot dog combo, for instance? You’ll pay a total of $18, which works out to 1,100% more than someone who visited the store themselves. That $9.95 pizza? That’ll run you $28.

The steep price increases are a blend of markups by the app (the $1.50 hot dog combo is priced at $3, for instance) and the $15 delivery fee, plus any taxes. The founder, though, is defending the prices.

Not aimed at individuals

No Tip, says Jack Chen, is designed as a catering service. While it’s happy to deliver individual orders, that’s not the company’s business plan. If, however, you’ve got an office party where you need several pizzas, the $15 delivery fee starts to look more attractive.

The company says it can handle orders for as many as 200 people — and it provides plates and forks as well.

No Tip was born when Chen, a software engineer, had a craving one night for Costco pizza, but didn’t feel like making the trip to the warehouse or dealing with the throng of people at the food court. Figuring he wasn’t the only person to experience this, he launched the business.

“I know my friends have paid, like, $30-plus dollars for some terrible Domino’s in the past,” he told SFGate. “So why not try to do this?”

The app currently only covers Southern California. Prices are all inclusive and, as you might guess by the name, drivers do not expect to be tipped.
