NYC Food Fight Over! Messi's Take on Delivery App Drama

A Goal for Compromise?

Hola amigos! Leo here. So I heard about this little *tango* between New York City and those delivery apps – DoorDash Grubhub the whole *asado*. Seems like they were fighting over how much moolah these apps can charge restaurants. During the pandemic NYC put a cap on those fees trying to help the restaurants stay afloat you know? Like a good teammate always passes the ball. I always try to help out even off the pitch – remember when I helped build houses? These delivery guys weren't happy about it though claiming it was unconstitutional. Imagine telling *me* something is unconstitutional! I am the constitution of football!

Suing Ain't Always Scoring

These delivery apps they went all in with a lawsuit. *Ay Dios mio!* They said the fee cap was robbing them of millions. I get it everyone wants to win like me in every El Clasico. But sometimes you gotta see the bigger picture. Like when I passed that penalty to Suarez pure assist magic. Sometimes it's about assisting others no? You can't just dribble through everyone all the time! But honestly 30% fees for delivery sounds like a crazy high press! A bit much no?

Peace in the Pizza Patch?

Now they've settled! Yes a settlement. Everyone's shaking hands like after a hard fought match. The lawsuit is dropped *poof*! Vanished like my chances of winning another Ballon d'Or (just kidding… or am I?). It sounds like NYC might tweak the rules a bit and these apps will stop their legal dribbling. I guess everyone realized fighting wasn't the *best* strategy. Like when I tried arguing with that referee… didn't end well *¿verdad?*

More Money or More Problems?

But it is important to consider that this fee is a lot of income for these companies. It's kind of like when I was trying to leave Barca: People want more money but more money isn't always better. I moved to Miami and it's great here!

A Win for Whom?

Seriously it's great here. They named a goat after me! Anyway who wins in all this? Hopefully the restaurants. They need a fair shake. We need them serving up delicious food so I can eat a good meal especially post match. Maybe they will lower prices!

On to the Next Game!

So there you have it folks. Delivery app drama sorted (sort of)! Now if you'll excuse me I've got a training session to get to. And maybe order some empanadas later… through one of these apps. *Vamos!*
