The Austrian Competition Authority (BWB) has opened formal proceedings against online food delivery platforms, including the presumed market leader Foodora, for alleged abuse of dominant position.

The Federal Competition Authority comes to the conclusion that Lieferando and Foodora sometimes lead to precarious contractual clauses. Both services share the domestic market, but other providers struggle with significant barriers to entry.
