Ordinance <br />Page 5 <br />b. "Online order" means an order placed by a customer through a <br />platform provided by a third party food delivery service for delivery or pickup within the <br />city. <br />C. "Purchase price" means the menu price of an online order. Such <br />term therefore excludes taxes, gratuities and any other fees that may make up the total <br />cost to the customer of an online order. <br />d. "Third party food delivery service" means any individual, firm, <br />association, corporation or entity through any website, mobile application or other <br />internet service that offers or arranges for the sale of food and beverages prepared by, <br />and the same-day delivery or same-day pickup of food and beverages from a <br />restaurant, eating or drinking establishment, or similar food facility located within the <br />City. <br />4. Each receipt generated by a third party food delivery service for either the <br />customer or the covered establishment shall clearly itemize the fees charged, the tips or <br />gratuities paid, and any discounts offered by the covered establishment. <br />5. A covered establishment or food delivery service worker claiming a <br />violation of this Ordinance shall first provide written notice to the third party food delivery <br />service of the specific section of this Ordinance which is alleged to have been violated <br />and the facts to support the alleged violation. The third party food delivery service shall <br />have seven (7) calendar days from the date of receipt of the written notice to cure any <br />alleged violation including but not limited to providing a refund of any charges exceeding <br />the caps imposed herein. <br />6. If, after written notice is provided pursuant to section 5 above and the third <br />party food delivery service fails to cure the alleged violation, including failing to provide <br />a refund or continuing to charge fees in violation of this Ordinance, the person or entity <br />claiming a violation of this Ordinance may bring a civil action seeking damages and <br />injunctive relief. The prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to an award of <br />reasonable attorney's fees. <br />7. This Ordinance is not intended to, and does not, create any rights or <br />benefits, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, against the City, its <br />elected and appointed officials, its departments, officers, or employees. <br />Section 4. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any <br />person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of this Ordinance and the <br />application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected <br />thereby. <br />
