The Saskatchewan government served up more help for the restaurant sector and its customers Wednesday.
The government introduced legislation that will extend the cap on food delivery fees until Aug. 31. The cap, which initially was introduced March 24, was to expire April 30.
The province also announced it’s expanding the eligibility for businesses to provide home delivery of alcohol products.
Food delivery fees capped
The caps in the legislation, which apply to third-party delivery providers that serve more than 50 restaurants in the province, are the same as those initially announced.
Providers can charge up to 18 per cent of the pre-PST order price if they handle the order. Fees can be up to 10 per cent of the order price when a restaurant uses a third party ordering app but the restaurant handles the delivery or the customer picks up the order.
