Should a manufacturer have the right to say that you can't re-sell something that you bought from them fairly? That doesn't sound great to me. If Doordash fairly buy the food then they can sell it to me (as long as they follow food regulations). That sounds fine, doesn't it?

If the reseller is pretty much pretending to be the manufacturer, and goes on yelp and change the manufacturer's phone number to their own.. I don't know if they have the right, but it's pretty scummy.
It shouldn't have the right to restrict re-selling but sure it's ok to have the right to not sell to somebody anymore.
They've already got that right.
