Albany County Executive Dan McCoy has issued another executive order further capping fees that food delivery services can charge restaurants.
That fee has now been limited to 5%, down from the original 15% in his first executive order. In some cases, local businesses have paid a 30% commission charge to companies like DoorDash and Grubhub to have their food delivered. McCoy says he ll continue renewing the executive order until the county legislature passes its own law.
