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.

      Insulated bags may be provided to delivery drivers employed by the pizza restaurants. But doordash drivers need to buy that shit for themselves

        Not to worry though! They’ll happily sell you an overpriced one for all that money they aren’t paying you.

      Sure, but you can’t trap the heat forever. Eventually, it’s gonna get cold, and even if it doesn’t, people are gonna get annoyed when their orders slow way down.

      Doordash ubereats etc don’t. You have to buy your own, and while doordash for example will happily sell their own employees one. They are thin and tiny and extremely ineffective.
