The complaint says DoorDash drivers began waiting to batch multiple orders together after gaining virtual visibility into kitchen systems, allowing them to see when pizzas would come out of the oven.

Instead of immediately leaving with a completed order, the suit claims drivers waited “up to fifteen (15) minutes” for additional deliveries, increasing the time between when a pizza is removed from the oven rack and when it leaves the building to be delivered. That delay slowed deliveries, disappointed customers, and caused a sharp drop in sales, the suit says.

The lawsuit also alleges Dashers could see tip amounts and whether orders were cash payments, making some drivers less likely to accept certain deliveries.

    Hire your own drivers if you want it the way you want it.

      The lawsuit argues Pizza Hut breached its franchise agreement by mandating continued use of the software while failing to exercise “reasonable business judgment” or modify the system to accommodate Chaac’s reliance on DoorDash drivers.

      To me that sounds like Chaac’s reliance on DoorDash drivers is not the norm.

      They mandate the system, not outsourcing to DoorDash. That’s a franchise choice. They could use in house drivers with the system.

      Okay, but they’re the ones staking their lives on Pizza Hut’s brand for their franchise instead of just making actually decent pizza under their own name and making an honest buck. I couldn’t care less about them seeing the consequences of their own selfish, greedy decisions.
