So u want Uber to cap the percentage it takes from driver but not restaurant? Hmmm

Anyone out there working right now and delivering food Is literally risking their life. They should get wherever they can. This is a slap in the face to drivers.

How does it affect the ppl delivering?

It means they can only charge restaurant 15% commission. You do know that these delivery companies charge more for the meals sometimes then if you purchased yourself from the menu.

With the 30% Uber charges the restaurants, there is no profit left for the owners, other than to cover some overhead costs.
Most restaurants that run couponing promotions spend approx. no more than 7-8% of sales on these traffic generators.
I have seen many popular restaurants drop off the program after a few months of participation - not worth it to them.

Postmates has Double Play on their app. They did this without their permission.

Commission cap should be zero. Delivery charges on top.

ChowNow says they're commission free, restaurant pays monthly flat fee instead. Dunno how they do delivery though, if it's using restaurant delivery guy then it's as bad as the old days of calling in an order and the food arriving cold an hour or 2 later.

They aren’t telling us how much they are charging customers so Uber would manipulate the data in their favor.
I gave the same ride to one guy 3 days in a row to work. I made 14.00 on the ride and found out he was paying Uber 22.50 for the ride. So Uber made 8.50 each ride. Bottom line is this is Uber. They wouldnt give the correct information. Uber would also only pay pennies on the dollar with a fine. There is no motivation for them to be forthcoming now

Btw, He now pays me 20.00 for the ride to work 🤑

Aren't Uber claiming they're waiving EATS delivery fees during Covid. Which is their way of saying the restaurants are paying it with the 30% commission.

I only half read the sfgate story at the time, which was probably written by an unpaid half-wit in the first place.
