Report a violation of San Francisco’s food delivery service requirements

A restaurant is protected by San Francisco’s food delivery service requirements if it:

• Offers, over the Internet, the sale and same-day delivery of food to customers from one or more retail locations within the City; and
• Does not meet the definition of a “Formula Retail” business

A third-party delivery service may not:

• Charge a restaurant a fee, commission, or charge that exceeds 15% of the purchase price of an online order
• Limit the prices that a restaurant may charge for food or beverages, whether sold through a third-party delivery service or directly from the restaurant
• Charge a restaurant a fee in connection with a telephone call by a customer that does not result in a food order during the call
• Provide any services related to processing or delivering orders for a restaurant unless the restaurant has expressly agreed in writing

In addition, a third-party delivery service must:

• Terminate any contract with a restaurant within 72 hours after the restaurant provides notice of its decision to terminate the contract
• Maintain records to document its compliance with these requirements for at least three years
