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.
They opened one a few years ago here in SC. It was in a strip mall that was just 3 restaurants all owned by the same guy (the Donatos, his own private restaurant, and a Salsaritas).
After about a year he moved the Donatos menu to the restaurant, made it a drive through only for pickup, and expanded the restaurant bar into the old Donatos dining room.
