In this first delivery of 2021, we will take a look back at the immense popularity of holiday take-out menus, publish the details of the class action lawsuit against Uber Eats and DoorDash and finally introduce you to the new CHSLD cooks.
First, we've been talking about it for several months now, restaurateurs must adapt to survive. This is what most entrepreneurs have done by offering a special holiday menu to take out or deliver. The concept quickly became popular, with the volume of orders exceeding expectations… and availability! As people are exhausted in December with the year 2020 they have just lived, they have decided in large numbers to turn to ready-to-eat meals to celebrate Christmas in the comfort of their homes, with their family bubble. . Some also ordered an extra meal for their mom or dad that they enjoyed together via video conference!
Also, the recent announcement of the creation of a class action lawsuit against Uber Eats and DoorDash could net you a few tens of dollars more in your pocket. By the way, why this class action? Because these companies do not indicate certain costs, such as delivery charges, early enough in the ordering process. Other mobile applications, on the other hand, clearly display the delivery costs for each restaurant right from the start. The Consumer Protection Act, however, indicates that all fees must be posted as soon as possible, with the exception of taxes. The judge has taken the matter under advisement and is expected to render his decision shortly. At this time, no registration list is available. We are claiming reimbursement of fees collected in addition to $ 100 per transaction to repair the damage.
Finally, some cooks who saw their jobs abolished due to the closures of the dining rooms were able to find work in the kitchens ... of CHSLDs! At the height of the crisis, the Legault government often stressed the fact that these centers were lacking in arms. We must believe that the arms were also missing in the kitchens. Cooks can thus make the most of these small kitchens and, despite limited menus, add a little personal touch in order to make their "customers" happy. Some even want to stay in their new jobs once the pandemic is over.
