B.C. is looking to permanently cap the fees that delivery companies can charge restaurants in the province.

During the pandemic, services like Uber Eats and SkipTheDishes became very popular. Those services got Virtuous Pie in downtown Victoria through tough times. Now, many of their customers continue to use the service.

Currently, fees charged to restaurants from those delivery services are capped at 20 per cent. That policy was set to expire on Dec. 31. "We’re also insuring that food delivery drivers are protected as part of this legislation by making sure compensation for drivers doesn’t decrease as a result of this legislation," said Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation, outside of Virtuous Pie on Thursday."Having a cap is really important," said McInnes."It means we can keep our prices where they are for our customers.

"Really, it’s a good thing," said Ian Tostenson, president and CEO of the British Columbia Restaurant and Food Services Association.
