""For so many restaurants and businesses, it is already hard enough to balance daily costs... even harder, frankly, to stay afloat when a delivery platform steals hard-earned revenue.""
""This is the first-ever action to hold a delivery app accountable for violating the rights of New York City restaurant owners.""
""The settlement will require the HungryPanda app to provide fee disclosures to users, implement compliance policies, and submit annual compliance certifications.""
""City law requires third-party food cap fee amounts at 15% for delivery and 5% for other services.""
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a crackdown on food delivery app fees at the Prospect Park Zoo. The administration alleged that HungryPanda overcharged hundreds of Asian restaurants through junk fees. An $875,000 settlement will provide relief to over 380 restaurants. The settlement requires HungryPanda to disclose fees, implement compliance policies, and submit annual certifications. Mamdani emphasized the importance of holding delivery apps accountable, especially for immigrant-owned businesses in neighborhoods like Sunset Park and Flushing. The city has prioritized combating junk fees for businesses and consumers.
