Looks like this is from Lorena Gonzalez, the author of the notorious AB5. Like that law, it seems rather too broad. By my reading it would ban a hypothetical app that worked on behalf of customers to deliver orders, even if the app explicitly mentions it is not affiliated with the restaurant or business. This doesn’t seem like a good thing for Californians.
By the look of it, this gives restaurants full control over how their product reaches the customer. It basically outlaws competition in the food delivery market, to the obvious benefit of restaurants and incumbents.
There is an obvious problem in how many of the food delivery companies represent the restaurants they deliver from, but this goes way beyond addressing that particular problem.
