It's hard to imagine. The restaurant clearly has no contractual relationship with Doordash. I don't know why they even bothered with the dough and boxes.
- MerelyMortal 4y ago> why they even bothered with the dough and boxes So it wouldn't be fraud. They had to deliver what was ordered.
- stonemetal12 4y agoIf they shipped empty boxes the driver probably would have noticed and brought it to someone's attention. either refusing to deliver or ending the promotion early.
- sigmoid10 4y agoYou always enter in a contractual relationship with companies like Doordash if you buy anything through them - which they clearly did here. Whether or not this scheme breaks said agreement could only be answered by checking it closely, but if their legal department is worth anything there's probably some general purpose safeguard against abusing the service.
- buscoquadnary 4y agoAh yes the general. "Ultimately we can choose to screw you however we want, but we've made some sort of blanket clause in this that if you try something that is a breach of contract" Or as the The PHB in Dilbert once said "It's better than legal we are using the law to keep justice away."
- pkaye 4y agoBut Door dash also entered a contractual relationship when it bought pizza from the pizzeria. Did they read that contract clearly?
- sigmoid10 4y agoI wouldn't bet on a small pizza place having a dedicated legal team that can craft clauses to keep this kind of abuse away.
- Zigurd 4y agoEnforceability and recourse are hurdles to punishing the pizza parlor with anything more than denying them a listing if at some point they wanted one. The pizza parlor did not ask to be listed so recourse seems especially weak.
