The B.C. government is pushing to permanently cap the fees food-delivery companies can charge restaurants and bars.

The B.C. government announced it is permanently implementing its cap on fees charged by third-party delivery companies.

Provincial officials introduced the 20 per cent cap, which includes a 15 per cent cap on food, back in December 2020 to combat surging fees, reportedly as high as 30 per cent, being charged to restaurants. It was extended in September and December 2021 and was set to expire on Dec. 31, 2022, but new legislation announced Thursday, if passed, would extend the cap for good.

“By introducing legislation allowing us to convert the delivery fee cap from temporary to permanent, we are able to provide more certainty to the sector and to delivery drivers.”
