"The bill also requires an itemized breakdown of food and services, and for delivery platforms to provide access to human customer service if issues remain unresolved through their automated service. AB 578 addresses tipping, making it unlawful for a food delivery platform to maintain a payment model that uses any amount designated as tips or gratuity to offset the delivery driver's base pay."
"Restaurant plan checks are crucial for new restaurants, as building officials review plans to ensure compliance with building code requirements, permitting, zoning, and code inspections. The process can be lengthy and costly for operators, who often delay their openings while the reviews are underway. Assembly Bill 671 could streamline the process by allowing self-certification of restaurant plan checks while maintaining health and safety protections."
California requires food delivery platforms to issue refunds for undelivered or incorrect orders, provide itemized billing, offer human customer service for unresolved issues, and bar tip amounts from offsetting drivers' base pay. Transportation network drivers, including those for delivery apps, may form or join unions and companies must bargain in good faith. Large-chain restaurants must list major allergens—milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, soybeans, and sesame—on each menu item. The Public Employment Relations Board gains expanded jurisdiction to certify unions and require bargaining when the NLRB does not act. Assembly Bill 671 could allow self-certification for restaurant plan checks while retaining safety protections.
