Over 11,000 people have already signed Ben Fordham’s petition for food delivery services to halve the commissions they charge restaurants and cafes during the coronavirus crisis.

Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Menulog currently charge up to 35 per cent commission on every order.

Ben points out that during a time where more Australians are choosing to stay home instead of eating out, commissions on deliveries should be lowered.

“It doesn’t make sense to me. What’s the point of putting all your resources, in other words, all the places that provide your product, into liquidation or into administration by gouging them.”

Mr Bouris encourages people not in isolation to pick up their orders directly from their local restaurants and cafes.
