Chick-fil-A settlement overview:
- Who: Chick-Fil-A reached a $4.4 million settlement on a class action filed by plaintiffs Eboni Brown, Tanique Clarke, Travis Johnson, Dominic Greetan, Friday Frazier and Keisha Rabon.
- Why: Chick-Fil-A marketed its delivery as a low-cost option but then marked up prices on products only for delivery purchases, according to the complaint.
- Where: The Chick-fil-A settlement was reached in federal court in Georgia.
Chick-fil-A reached a $4.4 million settlement in a class action lawsuit claiming the company advertised free or low-cost delivery of its food but then raised the prices of products only for delivery orders.
The settlement filing includes a $1.45 million cash fund and $2.95 million gift card fund, while Chick-fil-A does not admit guilt in the proceeding. Timely settlement claims will allow customers to choose between cash or gift card payments, while Chick-fil-A agreed to add a disclosure on its app and website stating that product prices may be higher for delivery orders.
The parties agreed to do both a website and direct email notice system to inform potential class members of the Chick-fil-A settlement. Chick-fil-A agreed to provide email addresses to the settlement administrator in order to inform class members.
“Plaintiffs allege that by omitting, concealing, and misrepresenting material facts about CFA’s delivery service, CFA deceives consumers into making online food purchases they otherwise would not make,” the Chick-fil-A delivery settlement says.
Class members expected to receive $29.25 in cash or gift cards
Class members are expected to receive a $29.25 cash payment or $29.25 gift card. If the settlements fund is not large enough to fund all claims, proportionate payments will be made.
The settlement claim form will only require a name, email address, phone number and certification that the person is an eligible class member seeking to participate in the Chick-fil-A settlement.
Earlier this year, Chick-fil-A confirmed it suffered a data breach that exposed the personal and financial information of more than 71,000 of the fast food restaurant’s customers.

I placed several orders. Add me
I was seriously poisoned by Chik Fila and I am looking for an attorney to fight for me. I believe Chik Fila may be paying people off to NOT go against them and sue them because certain attorneys won’t bother with your case. It’s like they do not want to fight against Chik Fila and it’s not fair to people who are seriously harmed by this big food company. i don’t understand it. I called “Morgan & Morgan” attorney office, and I really do have a serious case, and they would not bother with it after I told them I was rushed to a hospital for food poisoning by Chik Fila! They gave me no valid or logical reason why they would not take the case. In fact, they did not give me ANY reason why they would not take it. They just left me with the thoughts that perhaps they are aware of Chik Fila’s food poisoning but yet dare to move against them for whatever reasons. After hearing my story there is no reason “why” any attorney would not take my case. I will be seeking attorney’s help in this matter, and I will not stop until I get justice. It makes no sense at all. This is what I don’t like about such attorney offices. They will do commercials and say they are for the people, but they show up in a different form when it calls for them to be seriously concerned about other human beings.
