New City laws require many food delivery apps to have a license and establish requirements that apps must follow concerning consumers, delivery workers, and restaurants. Some requirements take effect on January 24, 2022. Other requirements take effect later. Monitor nyc.gov/DeliveryApps for updates.

These requirements take effect on January 24, 2022:
