> I would argue against this point that we would be assuming perfect competition, and given the anti competitive behavior of gig economy companies in this space (such as buying restaurant domain names, making fake websites with phone numbers they own to trick people into thinking they’re ordering directly) and lack of competition, this seems appropriate for now.
I agree that the ideal solution would be hitting the anti-competitive behaviors directly, rather than an rate cap. The overall issue is the pressure that a large delivery company can exert on individual small business restaurants, with the solution being coordination between restaurants to ensure they all get a good deal, or strong competition between the delivery services.
