Companies like Grubhub/Seamless currently charge as much as 30 percent-20 percent for deliveries, and 10 percent for app orders. The legislation caps the fees at 20 percent of the cost of the order, excluding tips and taxes-15 percent for delivery orders, 5 percent for all orders placed through the app. The measure is designed to alleviate the pressure on restaurants who have been forced to rely on apps like Grubhub/Seamless, Postmates, and Uber Eats to stay afloat during the pandemic. The New York City Council passed a bill on Wednesday to cap the fees that third-party food delivery apps can charge business owners.
