    “Most Pizza Hut restaurants in the state work with third-party delivery apps, such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and GrubHub.”

    Sounds like a business plan that was already in motion before the wage hike. I know that competing chains have been offering huge discounts to incentivize you to pick up your pizza instead of have it delivered by the chain. I wonder if pizza delivery pays more or less than these services.

      I was going to comment that I was surprised they even had their own drivers anymore.

      The last 2 Pizza Hut delivery orders I made in the app/website were delivered by Door dash here in AZ. I assumed they had just switched over entirely.

      My local pizza places (including a pizza hut) stopped hiring drivers and use exclusively door dash drivers for delivery. If they don’t have any dashers available, they call and tell you your food is gonna be late because they don’t have anyone to pick it up. I don’t order pizza anymore lol
