SINGAPORE -- With Singapore's restaurants relying more than ever on delivery platforms due to coronavirus-related restrictions, concerns are growing that the astronomical fees charged by these apps could drive many eateries out of business instead of saving them.
"You call yourselves our 'partners,' but we truly wonder if you know what that means," a coalition of over 600 restaurants has said in an open letter. Delivery platforms usually charge around 30% in commission for each order, which can wipe out profits for restaurants already operating on razor-thin margins.
