Small restaurant operators are getting hammered the most on fees they are charged by popular delivery apps such as Postmates, GrubHub, DoorDash. UberEats, Caviar and EatStreet. Many fees average between 20 and 30% of the order at a time when restaurants are near 10 and 20% of their pre-pandemic levels. Some restaurants say that they are getting gouged as much as 40% at times and are growing frustrated.
Consumers hoping to support local restaurants by having food delivered are also paying fees and often see the same menu items with jacked-up prices.
