Description of Program and Relief
Third-Party Food Delivery Commissions
During the period of time for which the Mayor has declared a public health emergency, a person, corporation, partnership, or association operating a third-party food platform within the District shall register with the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.
These third party platforms are prohibited to charge a restaurant a commission fee of more than 15% of the purchase price per online order for the use of the platform's services for delivery or pick-up, and the third-party food delivery platform is prohibited from reducing the compensation rate paid to a delivery service driver or garnish gratuities in order to comply with this mandate.
Further, at the time a final price is disclosed to a customer the third-party food delivery platform shall disclose to the customer, in plain language and in a clearly visible manner, any commission, fee, or any other monetary payment imposed by the third-party food delivery platform on the restaurant as a term of a contract or agreement between the platform and the restaurant in connection with the restaurant's use of the platform.
