I dont really see why its my responsibility as a consumer to police if business deals resturants engage in are "fair". That is the resturant's job. Its part of running a business. Actually its the main part. If the deal doesn't make financial sense - then the business shouldn't make the deal. If the business cannot survive neither taking the deal nor not taking it, then the business is not viable and it should go out of business.

At most i support a law requring that resturants can set different prices for uber eats than for walk in customers

How would restaurants have a choice, here? As far as they know, Uber Eats/Doordash/etc are just "regular customers" but are really just scalping the restaurant's product.

Scalping product AND funneling all the blame on their fuckups onto the restaurants. It's a american rent seekers dream gig.

If they were just regular customers, than there would be no need for the 10% cap. The cap would be 0% because regular customers dont negotiate massive discounts; they pay regular price.
