&gt; DD is using the same trick Uber uses: they hire drivers but classify them as &quot;contractors&quot;, which conveniently abstracts all the risk away from DD. If there are issues with transport and so forth, it&#x27;s the driver&#x27;s problem.<p>Its worth noting that that trick hasn&#x27;t been completely legally successful for Uber, and even if the employer&#x2F;contractor distinction breaks in DD&#x27;s favor, that doesn&#x27;t necessarily mean that the contractor and not DD is on the hook for all the food sales and distribution rules.<p>And, even if it does, that doesn&#x27;t really solve the question of the legality of the operation, just whether it is DD or its deliverers whose actions would be prohibited by the non-trademark rules. But if DD deliverers were to start being targeted for enforcement actions, it would rapidly make it harder for DD to get deliverers.
