If the food delivery driver is knowingly not delivering any food, but is paying for the "food" anyway... that seems pretty close to fraud.

If you order a shitload of real food and the pricing works out well for the restaurant, it's weird but it is still following the rules that DoorDash set out.

But if Doordash never made an agreement with the restaurant in the first place, like in the article, the restaurant has no obligation to follow any of Doordash's rules.

That doesn't mean they won't fall afoul of some state or federal laws in doing that.

Right but this thread is about the driver pretending they picked up food that never existed. IANAL but sounds like fraud on the driver's part.

Why does the food not have to exist? You can deliver actual food and toss it for that kind of money
