DoorDash Inc. and Uber Technologies Inc. lost a bid to block a New York City law requiring a tipping option be presented to customers at checkout from going into effect Monday.

A federal judge on Friday denied the companies’ request for a court order that would have stopped the law from taking effect on Jan. 26 while their suit against the city proceeds.
