That's not what this is...? It's a cap on the commissions UberEats/Doordash/whatever can charge on an order. To, hopefully, prevent the commission structure from causing places to lose money on orders ($10 order with 20% Doordash; costs the restaurant $8.50; Doordash charges $2 commission; restaurant loses $.50 on the order)

It caps the fee that the delivery service can take.

You can still tip the delivery person as much as you like.

It's not even that. They can still put a $500 delivery fee on the bill, if they want. They just can't hide it in the food costs anymore, and take it out of the restaurant's cut.

It's a cap on what the delivery company can charge the restaurant, not including what they charge the person doing the actual order.

Do you believe that the full delivery app fee goes to the delivery worker?

Who is the delivery worker? Is it the guy on the scooter? The app developer in the office? The marketing guy brought your attention to the take-away place and caused you to make the order?

Since all these services are operating at the loss, the "delivery worker" might actually get more than the full fee.

I think 'delivery worker' is a clear term that identifies the worker that brings the food to someone's door. It's certainly the term that identifies, of all the people on your list, the one in the most fragile position.

But in any case, my point is that the cap is not on how much that person can make, but on how much these companies can charge.
