In particular, restaurants must be provided with a clear and fully transparent breakdown of all charges, without ambiguity, grouped into distinct categories such as commissions, delivery fees, visibility services, and other related items. These details must be clearly displayed within each restaurant\\u2019s dedicated seller panel. This marks a significant shift, enabling restaurants to access, for the first time, granular and verifiable insight into the cost structure applied by platforms, thereby facilitating more informed, predictable, and strategically sound commercial decision-making, including pricing strategies, promotional participation, and platform selection.\"), mdx(\"p\", null, \"Transparency obligations are not confined to merchant-side disclosures but are also extended to the consumer interface. At the order confirmation stage, consumers must be clearly and unequivocally informed that the total amount payable may not solely reflect the product price, but may also include additional service-related components such as commissions, delivery fees, and visibility charges. This requirement is designed to enhance pricing transparency at the point of transaction and to strengthen consumer trust in platform-based services.\"), mdx(\"p\", null, \"A further cornerstone of the regulation relates to the standardization of commission calculation methodologies.

Platforms are now required to provide full itemization and disclosure of all service-related charges, while the imposition of additional fees for core intermediary services is effectively restricted. Participation in campaigns, discounts, and advertising activities has been firmly anchored in voluntary consent, thereby reinforcing the commercial independence of restaurants. Commission structures in discounted transactions have been standardized under a unified methodology, and all supplementary services and associated fees are now subject to prior disclosure and explicit merchant approval. On the consumer side, mandatory pre-contractual disclosure obligations ensure that pricing transparency is fully embedded at the point of purchase, extending the principles of clarity and
