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.

    You don’t know what a franchise is do you?

    The franchises are just businesses that are told what to do by Pizza Hut Central HQ who have to be obeyed for the franchises to keep their franchise. So if pizza hut want to implement an AI system then an AI system is implemented, how is that the fault of the franchises?

          I think you’re confusing “franchise” and “franchisee”.
