Uber has added a $3 customer surcharge on all food delivery orders from Portland businesses in response to the city’s new 10% limit on how much third-party food delivery apps can charge restaurants in commission during the coronavirus pandemic.
The new fee on Uber Eats, labeled the “City of Portland Ordinance,” began appearing on the receipt of orders last week after the City Council passed the new rule.
“A recent City of Portland Ordinance temporarily limits what Uber Eats charges restaurants to fulfill orders,” an explanation of the charge reads. “To help keep delivery drivers on the road, a new charge is applied to orders from restaurants in the city of Portland.”
