As food delivery apps continue to grow in popularity, city officials across several major urban areas have proposed new regulations aimed at increasing transparency in fees and delivery practices. As of July 2026, the proposals would require platforms like DoorDash and UberEats to clearly disclose service charges to both consumers and restaurants. Advocates argue this is essential for fostering fair competition and ensuring that local restaurants are not disproportionately affected by high service fees, which could lead to increased prices for customers and reduced earnings for food providers.
