On July 30, 2026, a former Papa John’s delivery driver, Kevin Kadakia, filed a lawsuit against Papa John’s franchisees Yad&Pre LLC; Dasuleen LLC; Dasia LLC; NK Jeans LLC; Cherry&Kerry LLC; Minnie A LLC; Preet Ahluwalia; Bhupinder Ahluwalia; Yadwinder Ahluwalia (“Defendants”). The Defendants own and operate Papa John’s stores in Kentucky and Ohio.
Kadakia seeks to represent all delivery drivers who have worked for the Defendants. He alleges that they violated the law by failing to properly reimburse drivers for their vehicle expenses.
Kadakia alleges the Defendants were required reimburse the drivers for the actual expenses associated with the use of their personal vehicles to complete deliveries for Defendants. Further, he alleges that the Defendants paid a lower flat per-mile rate that fell well short of the drivers’ actual expenses and the IRS rate. As a result, he alleges that he and other drivers effective wages dropped below the minimum wage.
