Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday repealed a pandemic-related restriction that limited the fees charged to restaurants by delivery companies as Washington state prepares for its reopening on June 30.

The caps were intended to alleviate the financial hardship that small businesses face in connection with closure orders. Food delivery activities more than doubled during the pandemic, with governments approving stay-at-home warrants, remote working and school expanding and restaurant meals disappearing in places.

For example, some restaurants have complained that delivery companies scratched menus and posted them on their own apps without asking managers or owners first.

In response, Seattle City Council earlier this month imposed new limits that would require delivery services to make deals with restaurants before allowing their users to order takeout.
