While I agree, restaurants do tend to pick up on this over time because (more issues with Place & Pay) people will complain to the restaurant about food being cold/slow not realizing that the restaurant isn't even involved in the delivery. Sometimes the delivery people make it quite obvious (e.g. drivers are given GH branded credit cards to pay with)


> people will complain to the restaurant about food being cold/slow not realizing that the restaurant isn't even involved in the delivery

By using their name in commerce, restaurants have a trademark.

People complaining to the restaurant about delivery shows that consumers mistook the Place & Pay vendor for the restaurant. This is proof that the trademark was infringed.

I don't see how Place & Pay could survive a court case, or even prolong one.

Fixed that for you.
