HGD Files Class Action Against DoorDash for Unlawful Taking of Driver’s Tips

ATLANTA, GA: (February 8, 2019) – Attorneys from Heninger Garrison Davis, LLC’s class action group filed a class action complaint today against DoorDash, Inc. (Defendant) for breach of contract and unlawfully taking tips from their delivery drivers. DoorDash is anational food delivery service and the case arises from their improper embezzlement of tips directed and intended for drivers.

DoorDash is an on-demand food delivery service which delivers groceries from Wal-Mart as well as meals from national restaurant chains and local restaurants. On its website and other marketing materials, DoorDash advertises and represents that a gratuity can be added for a delivery and that the driver would receive “base pay + 100% of tips” from the customer. However, DoorDash does not remit the full amount of gratuity represented to consumers to the driver (called a “Dasher”) providing the delivery service. Instead, DoorDash keeps a substantial portion of this additional charge for itself as its own additional revenue and profit on each delivery arranged and paid for by consumers.

When a customer places an order with DoorDash, a customer has the ability to leave an additional gratuity, or tip. The default tip for the driver or the “Dasher Tip” is currently set to 10% of the order but the customer may also leave a custom tip. DoorDash guarantees each driver a minimum sum of money for each delivery once they accept it plus 100% of the gratuity. Instead, DoorCash is using the gratuity to supplement the guaranteed minimum amount and pocket the rest of the tip.

HGD attorneys Jim McDonough and Lew Garrison bring the action on behalf of the plaintiffs against DoorDash, Inc. for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, wantonness, declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, and damages to remedy the Defendant’s improper taking of tips that resulted in Plaintiffs and Class Members not being paid the full amount owed to Plaintiffs and Class Members in light of DoorDash’s representation that they would receive “100% of the customer tip.”
