This settlement resolves claims that the franchisees behind four San Francisco Domino's Pizza stores charged customers a six percent surcharge tied to the city's Health Care Security Ordinance but presented it on the bill as a tax. If you paid that charge at one of those four locations between December 4, 2023 and August 12, 2026, a voucher worth 75% of what you paid comes to you automatically — or you can file by November 8, 2026 and take 50% in cash instead.
Current Status
Claims are open. The deadline to submit a claim form for the cash alternative is 11:59 p.m. on November 8, 2026.You only need to file if you want cash. The San Francisco Superior Court has granted preliminary approval, and under the settlement a class member for whom the defendants have a valid email address will be emailed a voucher without doing anything. The claim form exists for people who would rather have money than a voucher, and for class members whose purchases were never tied to an email address on file.
The Court has not granted final approval. The final fairness hearing is set for December 18, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. before Judge Jeffrey S. Ross in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco. Nothing is delivered until after that — the claim form states that vouchers are emailed and checks are mailed within 35 days of the Final Effective Date of the settlement. No payment date has been announced as of August 30, 2026.
One date lands earlier than the claim deadline and is easy to miss: October 24, 2026 is the cutoff to exclude yourself from the class or to object to the settlement.
The defendants deny any wrongdoing and any liability. The parties say they settled to avoid the expense and disruption of continued litigation, and the Court has not decided who is right.
What Changed Recently?
The claim window opening is the development. A judge of the San Francisco Superior Court determined the case should proceed for settlement purposes, granted preliminary approval, and authorized notice to the class — which is what put a claim form, an exclusion form and an objection route on the official settlement website.One detail in the class definition is worth noticing: the class period runs to August 12, 2026, only weeks before notice went out. That is unusually close to the present for a case filed in 2025, and it means recent customers at these four stores are covered rather than just historical ones.
The practice itself has already stopped. The notice states that the defendants no longer pass the health care fee on to consumers and have not done so since January 2026, and that if the fee is passed on again in the future it will be clearly and conspicuously disclosed — while maintaining that no such change was needed to comply with California law.
Who Qualifies?
The class is California residents who purchased products at any of the four San Francisco Domino's Pizza locations operated by the defendants, and who paid the six percent charge those locations collected for the San Francisco Health Care Security Ordinance between December 4, 2023 and August 12, 2026.The four covered locations are:
- 3116 Noriega Street (Outer Sunset)
- 320 Bayshore Boulevard (Bayview)
- 5200 Geary Boulevard (Richmond)
- 728 Geary Street (Tenderloin)
Two limits matter. This is not every Domino's in San Francisco and it is certainly not Domino's nationally — the defendants are four related franchise entities, ASI Foods Inc., AAI Foods Inc., AHI Foods Inc. and ARI Foods Inc., and the class reaches only the stores they operate. And the qualifying event is paying the six percent health care charge, not simply ordering a pizza: an order that carried no such charge does not put you in the class.
How Much Can You Get?
There is no flat payment here, and no total settlement fund figure is stated. What you receive is a percentage of the health care fees you personally paid over the class period, calculated from the defendants' own records of your purchase history. The two options are:- A voucher worth 75% of the health care fees you paid during the class period, redeemable only at the four San Francisco locations the defendants operate.
- A cash payment worth 50% of the health care fees you paid during the class period, paid by check.
Because the fee was six percent of an order, the arithmetic is modest for an occasional customer. Roughly, six percent of a $30 order is about $1.80, so a single order returns a voucher of about $1.35 or cash of about $0.90. The people with a real recovery here are the regulars — someone who ordered from these stores routinely across the two and a half year class period is looking at fees that add up, and the same percentages then apply to a much larger base. Those figures are illustrative arithmetic, not amounts the settlement promises; your actual amount comes from the defendants' records of what you paid.
Voucher or Cash — Which Is Worth More?
The voucher is worth half again as much on paper: 75% against 50%. It is also the option that requires nothing from you, since it arrives by email on its own.The catch is where it can be spent. The voucher is valid only at these four San Francisco stores, so its extra value is real only if you would order from one of them again. If you have moved, if you rarely eat there, or if you simply want the money, the cash alternative converts a store credit you might never redeem into a smaller amount you certainly keep. A voucher left unused is worth nothing, which is the comparison to make rather than 75 versus 50.
The cost of choosing cash is the claim form and the deadline. There is no such step on the voucher side.
What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?
This page marks proof as required, and the reason is the filing gate rather than receipts.To file online, the settlement website asks for the Notice ID and PIN printed in the notice you received before it will open the claim form. The same two credentials gate the online exclusion form and the address-update request. A class member who never received the notice, or who has thrown it away, cannot simply fill the form in.
There is a second route for class members whose purchases were not associated with an email address on file. They have to send proof of purchase showing the amount paid to the Settlement Administrator, using the contact route on the official settlement website; the administrator reviews valid submissions and then issues a login and instructions for filing a claim. For those class members, documentation genuinely is required — and it is also the only way to receive anything at all, since the automatic voucher only reaches people the defendants can email.
A downloadable paper claim form is also available for class members who did not use an email address. It asks for your name, address and email, your choice of voucher or check, and your signature verifying the form under penalty of perjury, and it instructs you to attach all proofs of purchase reflecting your payment of the fee at one of the four locations.
What Is the Deadline?
11:59 p.m. on November 8, 2026 to submit a claim form for the cash option. The notice does not specify a timezone for that cutoff, so treat it as the earlier possibility and file well before the date rather than on it.The paper claim form carries the same November 8, 2026 date, and the date a claim is delivered is treated as the date it is submitted to the Claims Administrator — so a form mailed close to the deadline risks arriving late. If you are using the paper route and you need the administrator to review proof of purchase and issue you a login first, start considerably earlier than November: that exchange has to finish before you can file at all.
The exclusion and objection deadlines are earlier: October 24, 2026 for both. A request for exclusion sent by mail has to be postmarked by that date, and the notice is explicit that requests not postmarked or submitted on or before October 24, 2026 will not be honored.
How Do You Take Action?
Everything runs through the official settlement website, ASI Foods Settlement, which hosts the online claim submission page, the exclusion form, the objection route and the address-update request.If you want the voucher, do nothing — assuming the defendants have a valid email address from your orders. Watch the inbox you used to order.
If you want cash, open the online claim submission page, enter the Notice ID and PIN from your notice, complete the form and select the check option before the deadline. If your purchases were not tied to an email address, use the contact route on the settlement website to send proof of purchase to the Settlement Administrator first and wait for the login it issues.
One practical note for anyone who has moved: the settlement website has an address-update tool, which also takes the Notice ID and PIN. A check is only useful if it reaches you, so update the address before the deadline rather than after.
The Court has appointed an administrator to run notice and claims, but the long-form notice and the claim form refer to it only as the Settlement Administrator and the Claims Administrator without naming the firm, so this page does not name one either. The notice also says class members who lack internet access can contact class counsel for help processing a claim, using the contact details printed in the notice itself.
Opting Out and Objecting
Both deadlines are October 24, 2026.Excluding yourself is the only route that preserves your right to sue over these claims, and it can be done by mail, by email, or online at the settlement website. The request has to state that you want to be excluded from the settlement in this case, carry the words "Request for Exclusion" at the top of the document, name the action, and give your full name, current address and telephone number. A mailed request must be postmarked by October 24, 2026, and the notice says requests that miss that date will not be honored. It cannot be done by telephone, and it has to be submitted by you, for yourself alone. Excluding yourself means no voucher and no cash.
Objecting keeps you in the class and keeps your benefit. A written objection has to carry the word "Objection" at the top of the document, name the action, give your full name, current address and telephone number, carry your signature, and set out the legal and factual arguments supporting the objection. It goes to the Settlement Administrator by the same October 24, 2026 deadline, and a class member who does not object in that manner is treated as having waived the right to object at all — including on appeal.
Two points in the notice are worth knowing before you choose. You cannot do both: if you submit an objection and an opt-out request, only the opt-out is treated as effective, and the claim form separately provides that filing a claim alongside an exclusion request invalidates the exclusion. And you may appear and speak at the fairness hearing whether or not you filed a written objection — though nobody has to attend, a timely written objection is considered without you there, and someone who has excluded themselves cannot speak at all.
What Are You Giving Up?
If the Court approves the settlement, every class member who does not validly and timely exclude themselves releases the claims this case resolves. The release runs in favor of the four defendant entities and also Domino's Pizza LLC, along with their parent, sister and subsidiary corporations and affiliated entities.What it covers is the fee conduct: the claims plaintiffs pleaded under California's Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law and for common law fraud, relating to the presentation, charging or collection of the health care fees at issue, plus anything arising from the factual allegations in the operative complaint. The release binds you whether or not you file a claim and whether or not you object — which is the reason to take some benefit rather than none.
What Happens Next?
Exclusions and objections close October 24, 2026 and the claim window closes November 8, 2026. The Court then holds the final fairness hearing on December 18, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. and decides whether the settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate. A scheduled hearing is not an approval, and preliminary approval is not final approval.The same hearing decides what class counsel and the class representatives are paid. Class counsel will seek up to $200,000 for attorneys' fees and reimbursement of costs, and the class representatives will seek service enhancements of up to $1,500 each, both subject to the Court's discretion and approval. The notice states that paying fees, costs or enhancements does not reduce the benefits provided to the class.
If final approval is granted, the Final Effective Date follows, and the claim form states that vouchers are emailed and checks are mailed within 35 days of that date. Because the Final Effective Date depends on approval and on any appeal period running its course, no delivery date can be pinned down now, and none has been announced. The official settlement website is where that update will appear.

Questions
Who is covered by the Domino's San Francisco health care fee settlement?
California residents who bought something at any of the four San Francisco Domino's locations operated by the defendants and paid the six percent charge collected for the San Francisco Health Care Security Ordinance between December 4, 2023 and August 12, 2026. The four stores are on Noriega Street, Bayshore Boulevard, Geary Boulevard and Geary Street.
What do I get if I do nothing?
If the defendants have a valid email address for your orders, a voucher worth 75 percent of the health care fees you paid during the class period is emailed to you with no claim form required. The voucher can only be used at the four San Francisco Domino's locations the defendants operate. If the defendants do not have a valid email address for you, doing nothing gets you no benefit at all, though you are still bound by the settlement unless you exclude yourself.
How do I get cash instead of a voucher?
Submit a claim form on the official settlement website before 11:59 p.m. on November 8, 2026 and select the check option. The cash alternative pays 50 percent of the health care fees you paid during the class period, rather than the 75 percent the voucher is worth.
How is my payment amount calculated?
It is based on what you actually paid, not a flat amount. The settlement calculates the fees you paid during the class period from the defendants' own records of your purchase history, then pays either 75 percent of that total as a voucher or 50 percent of it in cash. Someone who bought one pizza will receive a very small amount; a regular customer over the two and a half year class period will receive more.
Do I need proof of purchase or a Notice ID?
To file online you need the Notice ID and PIN from your notice, which the settlement website requires before it will open the claim form. Class members whose purchases were not tied to an email address on file have to send proof of purchase showing the amount paid to the Settlement Administrator first, and the administrator then issues a login and filing instructions. Either route requires something you do not simply supply yourself, which is why this page marks proof as required.
What is the six percent fee this case is about?
San Francisco's Health Care Security Ordinance requires covered employers to spend a minimum amount on health care for their employees, and some businesses pass that cost along as a percentage surcharge on the bill. The complaint alleges the defendants charged a six percent surcharge tied to that ordinance but presented it to customers as a tax, which it says California law does not allow. The defendants deny any wrongdoing and any liability, and the Court has not decided who is right.
When is the deadline to opt out or object?
October 24, 2026 for both, which is more than two weeks before the November 8 claim deadline. A mailed request for exclusion has to be postmarked by that date, and the notice says requests that miss it will not be honored. You cannot do both: if you submit an objection and an opt-out request, only the opt-out is treated as effective.
Do I have to attend the court hearing?
No. Class counsel answers any questions the Court has, and a timely written objection is considered whether or not you show up. The hearing is set for December 18, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. before Judge Jeffrey S. Ross in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco, and you are welcome to attend at your own expense. You may appear and speak at the hearing whether or not you filed a written objection — but not if you excluded yourself.
When will vouchers and checks be sent?
The claim form states that a class member who qualifies and chooses a voucher is emailed the voucher within 35 days of the Final Effective Date of the settlement, and a class member who chooses a monetary payment is mailed a check within 35 days of that same date. The Final Effective Date follows final approval, and the final fairness hearing is not until December 18, 2026, so nothing is delivered before then and no payment date has been announced.
