MONTEREY — On the same night that Monterey hosted a forum on capping food delivery costs charged to restaurants, Pacific Grove went ahead and passed a temporary ordinance making it illegal to charge a restaurant more than 15% of the cost of the dish.

DoorDash has said it is opposed to the action Pacific Grove has taken and that Monterey is considering. The debate is important because for restaurants, any little drop in costs could mean the difference between staying open or closing. An untold number of eateries along the Monterey Peninsula employing many service workers have closed — some permanently.
