"The ban on alcohol sales has had little impact on us because almost 100% of our revenue comes from food." The ban on alcohol sales and the new operating hours have hit alcohol-based premises such as pubs and bars particularly hard. The aim is to prevent delivery services from exploiting restaurants and customers and setting unfair prices. Some consumers complained that home delivery services had increased their service fees for restaurants from 20% to as much as 40%. The Trade Competition Commission has now warned food delivery services they could be fined if they continue to charge for services at unreasonable rates.
