“Plaintiffs allege that by omitting, concealing, and misrepresenting material facts about CFA’s delivery service, CFA deceives consumers into making online food purchases they otherwise wouldn’t make,” the delivery settlement says, in line with the outlet.
Chick-fil-A also agreed so as to add a disclosure notice on its app and website informing customers that item prices could also be higher for delivery orders.
The chicken giant agreed to notify potential class members of the settlement. A claim form would require a reputation, email address, phone number and certification that the claimant is eligible for payment.
Class members can pick from either a possible $29.25 money payment or $29.25 gift card. Payments might be less depending on the variety of respondents.
