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.
