So what is exactly wrong with having your food delivered? Nothing at all, but there’s more to this story than meets the grill.

In-N-Out is concerned about their reputation because they have no control over delivery times, or DoorDash’s food safety practices.

In-N-Out is suing for damages, and to stop DoorDash from selling its food.
