A restaurant without a waitress is a Jack-In-the Box. Any restaurant with waiters/waitresses has that cost built into their prices already. Delivery is an added feature that most restaurants don't offer, so it is an additional expense for your convenience. If the driver is used or not, he has to be paid for.

As far as tipping a waitress when an additional waitress charge has been added to a bill, many restaurants add 15% for groups of 6 or more. I am not opposed to adding more to that 15% and usually do.
