The City Council voted to pass landmark legislation extending third-party delivery app fee caps to protect small businesses.
The bill, known as Into No. 2359-A, was introduced by Councilman Francisco Moya and Small Business Committee Chair Mark Gjonaj to extend the laws that already prohibit third-party delivery platforms from charging restaurants more than 15 percent per order for delivery and more than 5 percent per order for all other fees, pushing the end date of these caps until Feb. 17, 2022.
The bill will also clarify the types of transaction fees exempted from these limits on charges. The cap was due to expire next month, allowing apps to charge commissions as high as 30-35 percent combined.
