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.

Hey pizza hut, what do you want on your tombstone?

What a lame cyber punk dystopia. Can’t even get our pizzas on time.

Crazy that in 1990 we could get pizzas in the burbs in under 30 minutes with no technology and free delivery. Now I can’t even get them still warm…

And it's $3-5* bucks on top of a tip to get it.

*A delivery fee is not a tip.

I just pick up pizza now or go to a restaurant.

Lol, that's literally how delivery is supposed to work. Holy shit, does door dash actually expect drivers to make a round trip for every fucking delivery?

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

No actually Doordash required them to pick up multiple deliveries before delivery. What was explained to me by their customer service when my food was cold when it arrived. Pizza Hut didn't read the terms of service before turning that service over to Doordash.

Wonder how the courts will handle this?

Pizza hut is the shittiest fucking pizza to ever exist. Their old crust used to be hot garbage, but I could at least eat it if I needed to.

They now have a new crust and I can only assume someone stood up and asked but what if we used ingredients fished out of a sewer instead? And now their new crust exists and its somehow even more hot garbage.

Last time I had their gross ass, shit food I took a bite and threw it out.
