Three Big Delivery Apps Face a Class Action Lawsuit Over Their Pricing Rules

The major restaurant delivery brands Grubhub, Uber Eats, and its subsidiary Postmates will have to face a proposed class action lawsuit alleging that the companies’ practices have driven up the price of restaurant food after a federal judge refused to dismiss the case this past Wednesday.

The lawsuit, originally filed in 2020, claims that by forcing restaurants into “no-price competition clauses,” major delivery services are inflating the price of ordering from the restaurants they work with since these clauses prevent restaurants from offering their food cheaper anywhere else, even directly from the restaurant.
