Starting on Feb. 23, Hoboken will cap fees third-party food delivery providers can charge businesses.
The ordinance, adopted by the city council on Feb. 6 and signed into law on Feb. 8 by Mayor Ravi Bhalla, aims to support small businesses who are forced to rely on income from takeout and delivery due to pandemic restrictions.
The new law places limits on the fees third-party delivery services and websites can impose on restaurants during the current State of Emergency, filling the gap left by similar statewide legislation that expired with the start of the new year.
