The order will be in place until three months after the province’s state of emergency, which began at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, is lifted.

B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association president Ian Tostenson told Global News in October that food delivery platforms can charge restaurants as much as 30 per cent in commission on the total price of a food order, putting even more pressure on an industry struggling to stay afloat.

Both of B.C.’s major political parties had promised to limit the fees during the provincial election campaign in October.
