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.

    I drove for a backwater dominos in rural NC. You could work an entire Saturday night shift (with 1 or 2 other drivers) and only end up taking 5 deliveries.

    During day shifts It would be so dead that I would leave the store for hours (while clocked in! lol) to run errands, browse thrift stores or grocery shop. The manager would text me if there was an order.

    It’s still open too.
