\n Lookout Grubhub and Uber Eats, you\u2019re under scrutiny by NYC lawmakers \u2014 again.<\/p>\n

The NYC Councilman behind a measure to limit the fees food delivery apps can charge restaurants during the pandemic is now demanding the city agency in charge of enforcing the law seek out violators and slap them with hefty fines.<\/p>\n

The demand emerged Thursday when Christian Klossner, executive director of Mayor De Blasio\u2019s Office of Special Enforcement, revealed at a hearing that it\u2019s received at least two complaints about overcharges since the city cracked down on delivery fees in May.<\/p>\n

Klossner said an unnamed delivery app appear to have charged one restaurant a 10-percent commission for a pickup food order \u2014 or more than twice the rate permitted by legislation intended to help struggling eateries survive the pandemic. In another instance, an app charged a credit card processing fees that exceeded what\u2019s allowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company that charged 10 percent for a pick up has agreed to refund it,\u201d Klossner said when asked what OSE was doing to rectify the first situation.<\/p>\n

But that didn\u2019t sit well with NYC Councilman Mark Gjonaj, who heads up the small business committee that drew up the legislation. He demanded OSE consider fining the offending company \u2014 and raised concerns that the practice might be widespread.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf these companies have done it to one restaurant, it must be widespread,\u201d Gjonai said at the hearing. \u201cYou would not know that this is a problem unless you are told by restaurants? How are you getting the word out to the thousands of businesses that they need to bring this to your attention?\u201d<\/p>\n

The hearing was called over plans to extend the legislation, which has capped at 5 percent the fees apps can charge Big Apple restaurants for pick-up orders made through their technology<\/a>. Fees for food deliveries are limited to 15 percent.<\/p>\n

Klossner\u2019s testimony was followed by two restaurateurs \u2014 Andrew Ding of The Expat and George Constantinou of four restaurants including Bogota Latin Bistro \u2014 who said they continue to be charged fees for calls through Grubhub\u2019s app that never resulted in orders, which is also banned.<\/p>\n

Grubhub declined to comment but in written testimony its spokeswoman Amy Healy said Grubhub \u2014 which owns Seamless \u2014 has been unfairly penalized by the cap. Healy\u2019s testimony also said the cap has also hurt restaurants through a 13-percent decrease in orders for independent restaurants.<\/p>\n

Not so, said the four restaurant owners who testified, including Evan Franco of Brookyn Crepe & Juice, who said that he has already saved $7,500 in fees from Grubhub.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need long term caps,\u201d he said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
