# Guwahati eateries allege food delivery platforms charge up to 50% commission 2026-08-13T06:01:29+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Restaurant owners in Guwahati have accused food delivery platforms of deducting charges that can exceed 50% of an order's revenue, The Assam Tribune reports. The All Assam Restaurants’ Association claims the platforms misuse their dominant market position, leaving eateries with little choice but to stay listed. Owners also say they are forced to pay for promotions to maintain online visibility, and that discount costs are often passed on to them. A platform official rejected the allegations, stating that all charges are communicated transparently. He suggested that many owners miss updates due to poor tech literacy. Similar tensions have erupted in Bengaluru, where hotel associations have deferred a planned withdrawal from Swiggy and Zomato until August 31. ## Coverage - assamtribune.com Tags: commissions, food delivery, Guwahati, restaurant associations, Swiggy, Zomato Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/guwahati-eateries-allege-food-delivery-platforms-charge-up-to-50-commission/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
