On June 2, Grubhub CEO Matt Maloney terminated that contract, claiming Yum’s agreements with Grubhub competitors Uber Eats and Postmates violated the terms of the deal. Yum denies that such a non-compete was stipulated in the contract and is asking Grubhub to revoke its termination of the contract and enter into negotiations.The lawsuit claims that Grubhub reached out directly to franchisees to impose a new pricing structure that violated the original terms of the companies’ agreement. “The new fees will mean that consumers will have to pay nearly 40% more for Grubhub deliveries of food from Yum’s restaurants,” according to CNBC.Third-party delivery services have come under fire recently for <a href="https://1851franchise.com/grubhub-doordash-postmates-and-uber-eats-sued-over-restaurant-fees-2712807#franbuzz">exorbitant fee structures</a>, which <a href="https://1851franchise.com/san-francisco-caps-delivery-app-fees-at-15-percent-2712784#franbuzz">some cities have moved to cap</a>.<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/11/taco-bell-owner-sues-grubhub-claiming-it-violated-distribution-agreement.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=yum-brands-sues-grubhub-2713294" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Read more at cnbc.com</a>.
