Food delivery apps create a boozy problem in Iowa

Ending "predatory practices" of third-party delivery apps is at the top of the Iowa Restaurant Association's list this year, according to the group's president, Jessica Dunker.

Why it matters: Some delivery apps are using restaurant menus and logos without owners' permission, resulting in false perceptions and misinformation, Dunker told Axios.

Driving the news: A new Iowa law allows services like Uber Eats or DoorDash to deliver booze.

• But restaurants are not routinely provided information about third-party delivery customers, driving concerns about underage consumption, Dunker said.

Of note: Iowa liquor sales hit an all-time high in the most recently completed fiscal year.

What's next: Restaurant association members will push lawmakers to fix the problems in the upcoming legislative session.
