City-County Council Proposes Limits on Fees For Third-Party Food Delivery
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) The Indianapolis City-County Council on Monday night introduced a proposal aimed at saving restaurant owners money during the coronavirus pandemic.
More people have been using third-party delivery services because of COVID- 19 restrictions. The proposal from two Democrat council members would reduce how much those services can charge businesses. The proposal also would prevent the delivery companies from making up any lost revenue by charging customers more.
The proposal aims to temporarily limit charges and fees during the COVID-19 pandemic by food delivery services. At times during the pandemic, many businesses have found themselves depending on these companies.
