$15/hr plus tips plus mileage is overkill. Let's say you cut out the awful feature that is tipping and make it $15/hr plus mileage, which is a perfectly good wage.
If I was previously paying $6-7 in fee+tip for a limited selection of restaurants, I'd be okay paying $10 for places that don't normally have delivery.
If that means two trips per hour, and you're not in one of the ten worst cities for traffic in the entire country, then that actually sounds pretty viable.
You forgot wear and tear on the car, and gas. 15/hr is decent without additional expenses. Take out gas and tires and brakes and maintenance and it's poverty level.
At least around here, nobody delivers by car, it's all on cheap motorcycles. In other cities I've lived in, bicycles were also common.
No I didn't, that's part of mileage.
And the standard formula for mileage compensation that everyone follows is super generous. If you're driving a car with even half-decent mileage and reliability you come out ahead.
