Limits service fees charged to restaurants by third-party food takeout and delivery applications.
This bill limits third-party food delivery apps from charging restaurants more than 20% of an order's cost for standard delivery, or 10% if the restaurant delivers the order themselves. It specifically applies to external apps (not restaurant-owned websites) and allows restaurants to pay up to 25% for extra services like advertising. The law takes effect immediately but expires 25 months after enactment, requiring a report on its impact to the legislature. This temporary measure aims to reduce fees for restaurants while allowing flexibility for additional app services.
