Grubhub and other meal delivery services are being sued for 'exorbitant fees.'
The lawsuit, which is not tied to the coronavirus pandemic, accuses the food delivery companies of forcing restaurants to charge"uniform prices for restaurants" menu items throughout all purchase platforms, preventing"restaurants from charging different prices to meal delivery customers than they charge to dine-in customers for the same menu items."GrubHub declined to comment Tuesday.
The plaintiffs – Mariam Davitashvili, Adam Bensimon and Mia Sapienza – said that if restaurants were not restricted from doing so, they could charge lower prices for food sold through their own delivery services or food sold for dining in.Follow USA TODAY reporter Nathan Bomey on Twitter @
