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.

      Did you read the article? Or even the headline, which pretty clearly puts the blame on Doordash drivers gaming the system.

        Hold up…

        Pizza Hut execs fired all their in-store drivers because California was gonna make them pay drivers a living wage. They then chose to go with Doordash drivers, leading to the ultimate failure of the brand and closing tons of stores nationwide as a result.

        So yes. Its 100% on the execs.

        They gave DoorDash drives that data and they are pissed DoorDash drivers acted in their best interested instead of….literally anyone else’s? That’s hardly gaming the system. That’s the system working exactly as designed and management not understanding sales reps lie.
