음식주문 플랫폼을 이용한 거래에 관한 계약법적 검토- 관련 산업에 대한 규제를 고려하여

As platform business has grown dramatically, it has been actively discussed how to understand the transactions using online platforms, which were not expected in the existing legal system. Platform services have been emerging in diverse fields and evolving in various directions with the development of technology and consumer response. Therefore, it should be considered protecting the parties involved, especially the large number of consumers, while developing innovative platform businesses. To provide appropriate regulatory rules for the platform economy, it could be the first step to understand real transactions using online platforms and the legal relationships between parties under the current regulatory regime. In doing so, it would not be sufficient to examine the transactions on a platform as a whole, so the specificity of each industry and the special regulations should be taken into account additionally. The focus of this paper is on food delivery platforms, one of the most frequently used platforms in Korea. As food is an essential part of survival and is closely linked to the health of the consumer, the food industry is strictly regulated. The food delivery service, which was only exceptionally recognized under the current food regulations, has come to the fore through online platforms. It would be meaningful to identify the individual contracts to be concluded in each transaction and to analyze the legal rights and responsibilities of each party in the triangular relationships, not only for designing the contractual structure properly, but also for suggesting a new regulatory framework for the industry.
