Chattogram restaurant owners threaten to suspend orders with foodpanda
What happened
Restaurant owners in Chattogram threatened to indefinitely stop accepting orders through foodpanda. They presented six demands, including a flat 15 per cent all-inclusive commission and clear itemized invoices. Owners alleged that foodpanda's actual deductions exceeded contract commission rates, citing hidden charges like online payment charges and additional VAT on commissions.

Why it matters
The dispute highlights financial friction between restaurant partners and the food delivery platform. The demands relate directly to commission structures and hidden fees, which, if not resolved, could disrupt the platform's core service model in Bangladesh.
