Requires food delivery companies to have written agreements with restaurants before delivering their orders.
The problem
Food delivery services may deliver from restaurants without permission or formal agreements, creating disputes and operational confusion between platforms and restaurant partners.
The proposal
The bill mandates that delivery service providers must establish partnership agreements with restaurants before delivering food from those establishments.
The impact
Restaurants gain protection and control over which services deliver their food. Delivery companies must formalize relationships. Customers may see changed service availability or pricing.
Restaurants get formal control over who delivers their food and under what terms. This prevents unauthorized delivery services from using restaurant names or menus without permission. Restaurants can negotiate fair terms and commission rates.
Written agreements create clear rules about delivery terms, fees, and responsibilities. Both restaurants and delivery services know their obligations. This reduces disputes and operational confusion.
Customers benefit from knowing food comes from authorized partnerships. Official agreements mean better food handling standards and accountability. Reduces fraud or misrepresentation of restaurants.
Smaller restaurants get same protections as large chains. Independent eateries can negotiate directly with delivery platforms instead of being forced into service.
Some restaurants may not want delivery partnerships, limiting customer options. Small or rural restaurants might lose convenient delivery options if platforms don't pursue agreements. Could reduce competition among delivery services.
Requires restaurants and delivery companies to create and manage formal agreements. Small businesses may lack resources to negotiate contracts. Compliance costs could increase for delivery platforms.
Delivery companies may pass agreement and compliance costs to customers through higher fees. Restaurants might increase menu prices to offset delivery commissions. Could price out lower-income customers.
Unclear how bill would enforce agreements or handle violations. May create disputes over contract terms and fairness. Enforcement could require new government oversight or court involvement.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
