Chaac Pizza Northeast, a Pizza Hut franchisee with about 111 restaurants, alleged in a lawsuit that the chain's mandated Dragontail AI delivery system disrupted operations. The suit says its DoorDash integration led drivers to batch orders, slowing deliveries and lowering satisfaction. It claims over $100 million in lost business and enterprise value.
