Domino's Lawsuit: A San Francisco Fee Settlement Is Open, a Statewide Case Is Not
Questions about this case?
AI Legal Assistant · free · answers in seconds · general information, not legal advice
The Domino's settlement taking claims right now is small and local: four franchise stores in San Francisco that added a 6% fee and labeled it a tax. Cash requires a claim form by November 8, 2026; otherwise eligible customers with an email on file get a voucher. A separate statewide Domino's class action over a “Tax 2” line is still being litigated, and there is no U.S. Domino's data breach lawsuit or settlement.

What the Domino's Lawsuits Say
Most Domino's stores are run by independent franchisees, and that matters here: the settlement in the news is with a franchise group, not Domino's corporate.
San Francisco fee case. The lawsuit alleges that Asi Foods Inc., Aai Foods Inc., Ahi Foods Inc. and Ari Foods Inc. — which operate four Domino's stores in San Francisco — charged a fee of six percent of each order tied to the city's Health Care Security Ordinance (HSCO) but presented it to customers as a tax, in violation of California law. The defendants deny any wrongdoing and liability.
Statewide “Tax 2” case. A separate federal Domino's lawsuit alleges that a second line on receipts, labeled “Tax 2,” was not a government tax but a junk fee used to offset business costs. It relies on California's Honest Pricing Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1770(a)(29)(A)), which bars advertising a price that leaves out mandatory fees, plus the state's unfair-competition and false-advertising laws.
Case Details
Fee settlement: Hayden Miller, et al. v. Asi Foods Inc., et al., San Francisco Superior Court Case No. CGC-25-630503 — a state court case. The official site is asifoodssettlement.com, run by American Legal Claims Services.
Junk-fee class action: Murphy v. Domino's Pizza Franchising LLC, et al., No. 3:26-cv-01712, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, filed February 26, 2026 against Domino's Pizza Franchising LLC, Domino's Pizza LLC, Ari Foods Inc. and Aai Foods Inc.
Investor suit: Bender v. Domino's Pizza, Inc., No. 2:24-cv-12477 (E.D. Mich.), filed September 20, 2024, alleges the company misled shareholders about its “1,100+” global store-growth target. It concerns only people who bought Domino's stock between December 7, 2023 and July 17, 2024.
Status as of October 2026
Murphy “Tax 2” case: pending. As of the latest public summaries (April 2026), no class had been certified and no settlement proposed. There is no claim form.
Domino's data breach: no U.S. case. In October 2026 some Domino's customers received emails saying their accounts had been accessed with passwords reused from other sites. Domino's says its systems were not breached and it stores no payment details. That email names the Information Commissioner's Office — the UK regulator — and we found no U.S. Domino's data breach lawsuit tied to it.
Investor suit: Domino's moved to dismiss on June 12, 2025; we could not confirm a ruling as of October 2026.
Don't miss the claim deadline

Who Is Covered by the Domino's Settlement
The San Francisco settlement covers California residents who bought from one of these four Domino's stores and paid the six percent HSCO charge between December 4, 2023 and August 12, 2026:
— 3116 Noriega Street
— 320 Bayshore Blvd.
— 5200 Geary Blvd.
— 728 Geary Street
Orders at any other Domino's are not part of it.
If you ordered with an email address, a voucher is sent automatically. If you did not, or your order was not tied to your email, you must send proof of purchase to the administrator (PO Box 23698, Jacksonville, FL 32241, or the email listed on the official site); you then get a login to file. Without a valid email on file and without a timely claim, you get nothing — and you are still bound by the settlement unless you opted out by October 24, 2026.
The Murphy case seeks a class of California customers who paid a “Tax 2” charge. No class has been defined by the court, and there is nothing to sign up for.
How Much the Domino's Settlement Pays
— Voucher: 75% of the fees paid, usable only at the four stores. Default for customers with an email on file.
— Cash: 50% of the fees paid. Requires a claim form by November 8, 2026.
Because the fee was six percent of each order, individual amounts are small — a few percent of what you spent at these stores. Class counsel will ask for up to $200,000 in fees and costs and the named plaintiffs up to $1,500 each; the official notice says this does not reduce class benefits. ClaimDepot reports payments within 35 days after final approval.
Everything else: the Murphy junk-fee case and the investor suit have no settlement, no fund and no claim form. There is no Domino's data breach settlement.

Three Things to Watch For
A real settlement, a fresh account-security scare and a famous brand make an easy combination for imposters:
“Claim your Domino's data breach settlement”
There is no Domino's data breach settlement and no U.S. breach class action. A page asking for your Social Security number or card to “register” is collecting data, not filing a claim.
Password-reset emails with a link
After the October 2026 account-takeover reports, fake “reset your Domino's account” messages are an obvious lure. Open the Domino's app or type the website yourself instead of clicking.
Statewide “Tax 2 refund” offers
Only four San Francisco stores are in the settlement, and the real claim site is asifoodssettlement.com. Anyone promising a refund for “Tax 2” charges elsewhere in California is ahead of the court — that case has no settlement.
Domino's Lawsuit — Questions People Actually Ask
Is there a Domino's settlement I can claim?
Yes, but only if you paid the six percent HSCO charge at one of four San Francisco stores (3116 Noriega St., 320 Bayshore Blvd., 5200 Geary Blvd., 728 Geary St.) between December 4, 2023 and August 12, 2026. Claim cash by November 8, 2026 at the official settlement site.
Do I have to file to get anything?
If you ordered with an email address, a voucher worth 75% of your fees comes automatically. File a claim only if you want cash (50%) instead. If your orders were not tied to an email, send proof of purchase to the administrator to get a login.
Was there a Domino's data breach?
Not in the sense of a hacked company database, according to Domino's. In October 2026 some customers were told their accounts were accessed with passwords reused from other breached sites. Domino's says its systems were not breached and it stores no payment details. Change your password and do not reuse it.
Is there a Domino's data breach lawsuit?
As of October 8, 2026 we found no U.S. class action over a Domino's data breach and no data breach settlement. The account-takeover email we reviewed refers to the UK data regulator.
What is the Domino's “Tax 2” class action?
Murphy v. Domino's Pizza Franchising LLC, No. 3:26-cv-01712 (N.D. Cal.), filed February 26, 2026. It alleges a “Tax 2” receipt line at California stores was a junk fee, not a tax. It is pending; there is no settlement and no claim form.
Are the San Francisco settlement and the Murphy case the same?
No. They overlap — Ari Foods and Aai Foods are defendants in both — but the settlement is a state court case limited to four San Francisco stores. We have not seen whether the settlement's release reaches the Murphy claims, so check the court record before assuming either way.
Are there other Domino's settlements?
Several involve franchisees and workers, not customers. In Washington, Moliga v. Carpe Diem Pizza Inc. (No. 23-2-20218-0 SEA) reached a $1,000,000 settlement for 2,065 job applicants over job postings without pay ranges; no claim form is needed. A final approval hearing was set for September 8, 2026, and we have not confirmed the outcome. In September 2026 a franchise operator and a delivery driver filed a notice of settlement in a wage case.
I own Domino's stock. Is there an investor settlement?
No. Bender v. Domino's Pizza, Inc., No. 2:24-cv-12477 (E.D. Mich.), covers purchases from December 7, 2023 to July 17, 2024. Domino's moved to dismiss in June 2025; we found no settlement.
Separate from this case: were you injured in the last 2 years?
Class-action payouts are fixed amounts through an administrator. A personal injury claim is a different case — and often worth far more. Free estimate, no obligation.
