    Weird part is that San Diego increased their minimum wage to $15 an hour in 2016, $18 an hour in 2018, and $20 an hour in 2020. Papa Johns and Domino’s still have delivery drivers. I can’t actually speak to Pizza Hut, since I never order from them.

    Methinks this is just more corporate greed that will be masked as “inflation,” even though their costs just went down.

      Domino’s runs very tight delivery radius like 2 miles so they probably just get by with less staff and more locations

        I’m not sure. I worked for all three chains, and it is true that all the Domino’s and Papa John’s locations strictly restricted their delivery to 2 miles, all the Pizza Huts that I worked for restricted their delivery to 2.5 miles.

        I cannot imagine that it’s better to give up 40-60% of your sales just because of an extra half mile delivery range, rather than simply reducing your delivery range.

          They will just use Doordash drive where you can summon a driver for $6 usually and charge a $6 delivery fee. That’s what my place does in Florida as insurance rates for the business to have drivers is insane. Those drivers are higher caliber and need to be the top few % of Doordash drivers to qualify to get summoned.
