Food delivery services are suing NYC for capping their fees

The nation's biggest food delivery services including Uber Eats and DoorDash are suing New York City, arguing that a fee cap first enacted during the pandemic is costing them "hundreds of millions of dollars."

The Big Apple last month implemented a permanent cap of 15% per delivery from places like Grubhub. Lawmakers first enacted the limit as a temporary measure during the pandemic, with the intent that it would steer more money toward family-owned restaurants that were hit hard by the coronavirus. But in a lawsuit filed late Thursday, the food delivery apps said the 15% limit was arbitrary and unconstitutional and would force them to shift costs to delivery customers.
