Delivery Apps in California Will Soon Be Required to Have Permission from Restaurants

Some delivery services have been adding restaurants without consent, and a new California law will end that practice.Third-party delivery services will soon need express approval from restaurants to work on their behalf.California Governor Gavin Newson recently signed the "Fair Food Delivery Act.".And the new regulations will officially take effect on January 1, 2021.Many restaurant owners have argued that delivery platforms could undermine their businesses.Chains like In-N-Out and Michelin-starred chefs like Pim Techamuanvivit have spoken out against delivery practices.When Uber Eats, DoorDash and other gig companies operate under their own rules, businesses and consumers are harmed. I'm grateful to see the Legislature and governor stand up for small and family-owned businesses against massive overreach by delivery app companies, Lorena Gonzalez, State Assemblywoman
