☆ Chick-fil-A to shell out $4.4 million in cash and gift cards after customers accused it of inflating delivery prices, report says
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-17 | by ( Nancy Luna | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Chick-fil-A reportedly has settled a lawsuit accusing the chain of inflating delivery prices. According to the suit, Chick-fil-A was then "secretly inflating menu prices on delivery orders only." The suit alleged that the chain was inflating base menu prices by as much as 30% on delivery orders compared to in-store prices. "On delivery orders only, Chick-fil-A secretly marks up food prices for delivery orders by a hefty 25-30%," the suit states. "This is one reason – among many – why DoorDash encourages restaurant partners to maintain delivery menu prices that more closely reflect in-store menu prices."
