That vehicle is owned and operated by the driver. The driver does not receive that delivery fee.
I don't deliver pizzas, but anytime I drive my own car for work I get reimbursed a standard rate set by the US federal government, updated each year. If a pizza place did that, then the delivery fee would cover that cost.
If the federal government is reimbursing the pizza hut delivery driver then the fee still isn't going to that cost. The American taxpayer is covering it
The government doesn't do the reimbursing, they just specify how much each mile is worth. I assume companies follow the government's guidelines on that for tax reasons.
Not always, Pizza Hut and Dominos have designated vehicles even in remote areas.
Saw one way upstate in NY, like, multilingual signage upstate.
Not how it is in my neck of the woods. It's for sure the driver's car at both of those.
I delivered pizza using my own car, and I was paid mileage. That's partially what the delivery fee is supposed to be for.
