It also emphasizes the necessity for greater transparency related to fees by mandating platforms to detail and reveal the cost analysis of each deal. Further, it focuses on enhancing customer interaction and disallows the modification of a food establishment's pricing without consent. A key feature of the law also obliges delivery platforms to remove a food establishment's details from their list on request within a period of 10 days.</p>
