Plenty of places don’t even want these third parties doing this but they have no recourse.
Like even DoorDash in the US. They have a separate credit card for drivers to buy from places that refuse DoorDash. So the drivers just play middleman and order as theirselves, use the DoorDash card, and then make the delivery. The restaurant can’t do anything about it.
You do not have a choice as a business owner. If you offer any kind of take out at all, they will just list your stuff with or without your consent, and the drivers will just order it as themselves like any other customer. You don’t know until the actual customer calls with a complaint.
Hell, they will sometimes list it even if you don’t and then you have to deal with bad reviews when DoorDash just cancels an order on the customer when the driver gets told they don’t do take out.
These third parties do not give a shit. They will do it even if you as the business explicitly say to not do it. And they’ll keep doing it until they get seriously punished for it.
Tech service companies don’t give a shit about your responsibility or your consent. They just take what they want, add extra fees, pocket the difference, make themselves indispensable whether you liked it or not, and pretend you asked them to be the middleman when they threaten to blacklist you and take away all your business. This is not a consensual business relationship, they are parasites devouring customers and small businesses alike.
They can and they will. I worked at a restaurant where this happened without the owners knowledge or consent. She had to get her lawyer to send a cease and decist letter before they took it down.
[DoorDash spokesperson] McCormack says that DoorDash has recently stopped listing businesses without permission and offered an official DoorDash statement. “While the majority of the merchants on our platform have partnerships with us, we will occasionally offer to act as a courier service for customers to restaurants in their neighborhood,” the statement reads. “For those not interested in being on DoorDash for any reason, we remove them from the platform upon their request.”
I honestly thought that it was common knowledge that they did that.
How often should they be checking the listing they put up hasn’t been changed without their knowledge in a way that they were never told to expect?
When was the last time you checked that the numbers on your driver’s license hadn’t changed? Or are you one of those irresponsible people who doesn’t check their important documents for spontaneous manifestation of clerical errors?
Yeah. It’s a basic fundamental freedom one has here to advocate for themselves and right a wrong done to them. Oftentimes that also helps enact laws to protect people from it happening again.
You should look it into it for your own little county one day.
Not necessarily. Lieferando is a terrible dogshit platform. I would not be surprised if that’s a lieferando “feature” they rolled out without consent.
And you don’t think the owner has a responsibly to check the work of anyone advertising using their products?

You are not obligated to cater to door dash as a buisness owner.

Bullshit. Someone can’t just set up a service using your products without your say.
They can and they will. I worked at a restaurant where this happened without the owners knowledge or consent. She had to get her lawyer to send a cease and decist letter before they took it down.
Why do you say that? They’re saying what they’ll have delivered to you.
Anyway,you can just Google it.

That was one of the first results.

LMAO…. Ffs
I take it you don’t regularly check things that are already configured for spontaneous changes?
Or do you think it’s ridiculous that we would expect restaurants to do that for services they potentially never signed up for?
The owner might not even have a say in this matter. They can’t even adjust the menu without contacting lieferando.
They can sue.
Against a wealthy corporation and most likely at the expense of being thrown off of one of the most important sales channels?
The USA’ian at heart.
