Philadelphia city council wants to increase help for small business owners who have seen more delivery service during the pandemic. A current bill limits the maximum fee that third party food delivery services like doordash, could charge to partner. Restaurants council wants to keep the 15 fee cap for restaurants that choose it, but also wants to allow restaurants to opt out of the cap to choose a higher fee tier in return. Restaurants could receive additional services beyond basic delivery and marketing.

The bill was amended in committee to include the change nbc 10 reached out to doordash. They said in part, while we oppose any legislation that would commission make commission caps like this permanent, given the consequences they hold for merchants and consumers, we will work with city council to best support restaurants in their recovery. Moving forward.
