Trademark stuff, ok, it makes sense they can't use their logos and such. But the whole quality control, food handling, meh. Soon as it's paid for and in the customer's hands, it's the customer's business what happens to it next, not In-N-Outs, it's not theirs anymore.

Not necessarily.. if people start to get sick, who has the liability. Jack in the Box had bad food practices and it killed a bunch of people. Same idea here.

In-N-Out burgers aren't owned but rather licensed. Contingent on not being door-dash. Read the EULA.

The sick people, clearly. Just like the dead people who went to Jack in the Box. Exactly what kind of restitution are you proposing here? A pimped out grave?

That's not how it works according to the law and health codes.

> Fast food restaurant In-N-Out, known for its delicious burgers and secret sauce, is suing food delivery startup DoorDash, TMZ reported earlier today. In-N-Out, which filed the lawsuit on Nov. 6, 2015, claims trademark infringement and unfair competition. Basically, In-N-Out wants DoorDash to stop delivering their delicious food because of concerns around quality, food handling and safety.

Why using so many times the word delicious? Moreover, that's not really the scope of the article.
