First hour: Are food delivery apps hurting restaurants?
Second hour: How to help children understand their emotions during the pandemicAre food delivery apps hurting restaurants? Monroe County Legislator Rachel Barnhart has announced legislation that would cap how much third-party vendors, like Grubhub and Uber Eats and DoorDash, can charge businesses. Under the measure, delivery fees would be limited to 15 percent, and fees associated with customers using their apps for takeout services would be limited to 5 percent. The companies would also be prohibited from garnishing driver’s wages to make up any difference in profit. This is a desperate time for restaurant owners, who say this move will make an impact. Food delivery companies oppose it. Our guests:
- Rachel Barnhart, Monroe County Legislator
- Jeff Scott, owner of Kainos Restaurant
- Mike Kite, former Grubhub driver
