United States of America: San Francisco Ordinance removing sunset clause on food delivery service fee caps enters into effect

San Francisco Ordinance 97/21, which makes food delivery service fee caps permanent, has entered into effect after it was returned unsigned by the mayor. As the Ordinance repeals a sunset clause on the already existing cap, which limits the fees charged to restaurants by food delivery service providers to 15% of an order's purchase price, the cap simply remains in effect. Ordinance 97/21, which would make fee caps on restaurants using third-party delivery services permanent, has entered into effect on 9 July 2021 after it was returned unsigned by the mayor. As the ordinance repeals a sunset clause on the already existing cap, which limits the fees charged to restaurants by food delivery service providers to 15% of an order's purchase price, the cap simply remains in effect. The former cap was enacted with a sunset clause in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
