Yelp, to restaurants: we get a commission on Grubhub orders.
Restaurants, begrudgingly: fine
———
Yelp, to users: click here to order through Grubhub
Yelp, to customers: or just use the restaurant’s phone number to order yourself. [shows you a number that isn’t the restaurant’s]

Yelp is effectively telling users that a number belongs to the restaurant when it doesn’t. I’m sure yelp’s lawyers would say they aren’t actually telling any users that the restaurant’s number belongs to the restaurant, but come on. It’s clear that the intent is to mislead.
- lotsofpulp 6y ago> Yelp, to restaurants: we get a commission on Grubhub orders. Restaurants, begrudgingly: fine Is this true? Or is the agreement to pay commission or a fee for any calls coming from Yelp’s website or app? I’m just saying people are throwing out terms like prison and fraud, and in the legal world, those words have specifics meanings.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoAs I understand it, yes it’s true.
