What changed
The FTC has submitted a draft ANPRM on online food delivery service fees to OIRA for review as a significant regulatory action under Executive Orders 12866 and 14215. This pre-rule submission indicates the FTC is considering formal rulemaking authority to address how online food delivery platforms disclose and structure service fees to consumers.
Affected parties including online food delivery platforms and restaurants using these services should monitor for the forthcoming ANPRM, which will likely seek public comment on fee transparency, disclosure requirements, and potential unfair or deceptive practice standards specific to online food delivery pricing.
What to do next
