For weeks, as restaurants begged delivery platforms to reduce their commissions, the apps refused, further profiting from the coronavirus crisis. FWPro
It might be easier to be sympathetic with these apps if they were, like the businesses they depended upon, losing money. But they are not. Instead, they are profiting during this crisis.
As people stay at home, delivery has become more popular than ever before. An UberEats spokesperson told Fox News that delivery orders "in the U.S. and Canada have increased by 30 percent since mid-March." And as shelter-in-place orders continue to extend, that number will likely only rise.If these apps actually cared about the restaurants upon which their businesses are built, they would agree to commission caps at 10 percent or less.
Today, shortly after San Francisco passed an emergency order requiring delivery apps to cap their commissions at 15 percent, Grubhub sent an email to its SF-based customers, pleading with them to oppose the order. It should be noted that earlier this week, DoorDash announced that it would reduce all commission fees for restaurants with five or less locations by 50 percent between April 13 and the end of May. While it is progress, it might be too little, too late.
Until these apps actively start agreeing to commission caps, it's time to delete your delivery apps and let them burn.
