Baltimore County, Maryland and Minneapolis, Minnesota joined some of America’s biggest cities in cutting fees charged by food delivery services like UberEats and Grubhub.
Both areas instituted regulations in the last week that would cap fees charged by third-party delivery services at 15% of the cost of the food purchase. Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. said in a signing statement that his executive order would “provide a little bit of support to a sector of our economy that has been battered and bruised by this pandemic.” His executive order, signed Dec. 22, will last until the end of Baltimore County’s state of emergency. Olszewski first declared a state of emergency in Baltimore County on March 13.
