Whether it is legal or not needs to be judged against the relevant legal provisions. When the takeout platform is going through the relevant qualification procedures, whether or not the functional departments have granted the authority to review the qualifications of the merchants stationed in the platform is also a measure of its legitimacy. From a conventional perspective, if the takeaway platform provides takeaway services for merchants that do not meet the requirements, once the quality of the meals appears, it is natural to assume joint and several liability. After all, the platform, as the management, is necessary to ensure that the merchants have the business qualification in order to avoid the consumers' food hygiene and safety from being affected. But from another perspective, if the authorities did not grant the takeaway platform the right to review, there is no question of whether it has fulfilled its review obligations.
Usually, food and beverage merchants are able to enter the takeaway platform to provide food and beverage services as long as they provide basic information such as business licenses and other documents. The review of the takeaway platform is naturally a verification of these regular qualifications, and as for whether the merchants meet the management requirements of other departments, strictly speaking, the takeaway platform does not have the ability and authority to review them. As the business scope of the takeaway service continues to broaden, all kinds of disputes have emerged, if all the damage to consumer rights and interests of the business behavior, are attributed to the takeaway platform did not fulfill the obligation to review, no matter from which point of view it is easy to let a person have a kind of? The company's responsibility is to ensure the safety of consumers. s feeling.
While I don't know the specific review mode and process of the takeaway platform, but if there is no business tax and other departments to issue business documents, I believe it will not be allowed to catering merchants stationed on the platform to provide goods and services, since this means that the review of the merchant's obligations have been fulfilled, even if there are quality problems in the future in the process of operation, but also should not let the takeaway platform to bear the responsibility of the joint and several liabilities. The platform is strictly speaking only a bridge between consumers and merchants, and does not have the ability to supervise the food production process of the merchants, which is why it is not persuasive to use the reason of not fulfilling the duty of review to make it assume joint and several liabilities.
Whether it's the catering business or the takeout platform, in the final analysis it's the business that provides the service for the consumer, neither of which has a superior/subordinate relationship, nor the authority to supervise and manage, so how can there be an obligation to review? Of course, if the takeaway platform knows that the business does not have the qualifications of the catering industry, then still provide the convenience of stationing on the platform, the problem naturally have to bear joint responsibility.
