The UK Parliament has passed a law capping third-party food delivery app commissions at 10% per order — significantly below the 30–40% previously charged. The law requires newly introduced fixed delivery charges and minimum earnings per order to support local businesses.
Takeaway owners and independent chains across Britain praised the move, warning that high fees were hurting margins and driving them to close. Consumer advocates also see the reform as fairer for everyone.
Restaurateurs in Dhaka, Kathmandu, and Delhi are paying close attention — several have lobbied for similar protections in response to steep commissions during the pandemic boom.
