This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Delivery Companies like Deliveroo, UberEats, Just Eats etc should be regulated
Food Delivery companies charge extremely high fees for their services and force local businesses to go onboard because it leaves no alternative. Restaurants, Cafes and Take aways give most of their earnings to them. They are also not transparent on their fees and have no support centres in UK
More details
Delivery companies are the reason most small businesses are forced to close. If government does nothing about the unfair charges and fees demanded by the delivery companies There will be more businesses who will suffer. Government should regulate and make sure there is a cap on their commissions and they are transparent about the commission levels charged to stand alone vs chain restaurants.
Food Businesses give around 40% of their earnings To Delivery Platforms and left with nothing to survive
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
We understand that you are concerned about delivery charges for some services, but it's not clear what you want the Government to do about this. Decisions about the charges for delivery services are a matter for individual businesses, not the Government or House of Commons.
