/ The Baltimore City Council will consider a bill to halve the fees that third-party delivery services such as GrubHub can charge restaurants. The announcement Wednesday came less than a week after Mayor Brandon Scott closed indoor and outdoor dining operations amid growing COVID-19 rates. Councilman Eric Costello, who represents Central Baltimore, said at a press conference that he would introduce the legislation, aimed at bolstering Baltimore employers’ bottom lines, at the council’s next meeting Jan. 11. His bill has the support of fellow Democrats Scott and Council President Nick Mosby.   GrubHub and other delivery companies like Uber Eats and DoorDash typically charge restaurants about a third of an order’s cost to deliver that order. The bill would cap the service fees the companies charge restaurants at 15% of the order cost and prevent delivery service providers from passing higher fees on to customers and gig workers.
