Grubhub has agreed (17 December) to pay $25 million to settle charges from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Illinois Attorney General, resolving competition law violations. The settlement addresses deceptive tactics, such as listing unaffiliated restaurants on its platform, misrepresenting delivery costs through hidden fees, and misleading drivers about potential earnings. The settlement mandates Grubhub to change its business practices, including transparent pricing, accurate driver compensation claims, and consent from restaurants before listing them on its platform. This action aims to level the playing field in the competitive food delivery market.
