Third-party food delivery apps are required to have a Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) license to operate in New York City. This law was the first part of a suite of new legislation regulating online third-party food delivery apps and enforcing brand new labor standards for delivery workers. Delivery workers who deliver restaurant food for any app—not just licensed apps—have new rights that start on January 24, 2022; April 22, 2022; and January 1, 2023.
June 15, 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
