    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Nov 30 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; A bunch of restaurants in the state of Kerala will not accept orders from the online apps like Zomato, Swiggy, Uber Eats, and Foodpanda from December 1, 2018.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;This has happened after the recent decision by the Kerala Hotel and Restaurant Association (KHRA) to stop accepting online orders.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Members of KHRA cite high commission and GST rates as one of the many reasons why they have decided to stop associating with the delivery app promoters.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Food delivery apps are seen as a boon for small restaurants in India.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;However, now a war has started brewing between restaurant owners and food aggregators in southern India.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;KHRA members, who have decided to boycott the aggregators, are worried that food delivery will do to them what Ola and Uber did to drivers.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That is they will initially help widen their reach but eventually kill their earnings, especially through heavy discounting.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
