Breaking News Delivery App Win-Win Council Fails to Draw Agreement...Request to submit a win-win plan by the 11th

The win-win consultative body to ease the burden of delivery app fees for self-employed people failed to reach an agreement despite more than 100 days and 11 meetings.

As a result, public interest commissioners proposed an arbitration principle to ensure that the brokerage fee rate would not exceed the average 6.8% level and requested that the win-win plan be submitted again by next Monday, the 11th.

The Government Complex Seoul held its 11th meeting yesterday, but failed to reach an agreement on how to cut arbitration fees, a key issue.

As a result, public interest committee members proposed the principle of arbitration, Coupang Eats proposed a new win-win plan by the 11th, and Baedal Minjok requested to review whether there is any need for improvement in the win-win plan already submitted.

The Public Interest Commission's principle of arbitration is to apply a differential brokerage fee rate according to store sales, lower the maximum fee rate from the current 9.8%, ensure that the brokerage fee rate does not exceed the average 6.8% level, and apply a 2% brokerage fee rate to the bottom 20% of sales.

In addition, the store-burdened delivery fee was maintained at the current level of KRW 1,900 to KRW 2,900, and the use of the term "free delivery" and the demand for Choi Hye treatment were stopped.

At the 11th meeting held yesterday, Baedal Minjok suggested charging 7.8% of the top 30% of sales, 2,400 won to 3,400 won for delivery, 6.8% for brokerage, 2,200 won to 3,200 won for delivery, and 2% for the bottom 20%.

It also proposed a plan to expand nationwide from charging 0% of brokerage fees as a demonstration in some traditional markets.

The people of Baedal, however, conditioned that Coupang Eats would implement such a win-win plan on the premise that it would implement the same level of win-win plan.

In the case of Coupang Eats, 9.5% for the top 10%, 9.1% for the top 10 to 20%, 8.8% for the top 20 to 50%, 7.8% for the top 50 to 65%, 6.8% for the top 65 to 80%, and 2% for the bottom 20%, the delivery cost will be unified from 1,900 to 2,900 won, and an additional premium will be paid for the top 50% of the transaction.

Is Yogiyo a store delivery as previously suggested?The government will maintain its reduction in brokerage fees from 12.5% to 9.7% for both Yogi deliveries and 7.7% for takeaway orders, while reducing deliveries by up to 4.7% and packaging by up to 2.7% for increased orders as the number of Yogiyo orders increases.

We also decided to implement a win-win plan to refund 20% of the brokerage fee as points for the bottom 40% of the transaction amount.
