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.

Fair point, although that’s more info than this article provided. But since Doordash came into the picture at the same time as the new software, we don’t know whether the same things would or wouldn’t have happened with the old software. In any case, with claimed losses of $100 Million in sales the plaintiff definitely isn’t a lone pizza place, it’s some large-scale multi-unit franchise business that owns tons of them, and I’m fine with them clawing for each other’s piles of money.

The specific pizza hut suing doesn’t operate in California, but that doesn’t mean the California pizza huts that fired their drivers due to the minimum wage change in California arent also suffering the same problem, id expect they are. The franchisees had no say in the execs choosing to use this new software that let’s the door dash drivers see what’s happening in the kitchen.
