Domino’s San Francisco HSCO Fee Settlement, Check If You Qualify — Hayden Miller, et al. v. Asi Foods Inc., et al., No. CGC-25-630503

There’s a voucher waiting for you — automatically, no action needed — if you paid a 6% health care fee at one of four San Francisco Domino’s locations between December 2023 and August 2026. Asi Foods and its related entities agreed to settle claims they mislabeled that fee as a tax. You have until November 8, 2026 to switch to a cash payment instead, if you’d rather have money than a voucher.

Who Is Asi Foods and Why Are They Being Sued Over the HSCO Fee?

Asi Foods Inc., Aai Foods Inc., Ahi Foods Inc., and Ari Foods Inc. are the franchise entities behind four Domino’s Pizza locations in San Francisco — on Noriega Street, Bayshore Boulevard, and two spots on Geary. San Francisco requires businesses to either cover employee health care or pay into the city’s Health Care Security Ordinance fund, and many pass that cost on to customers as a line-item charge. This lawsuit claims these four locations displayed that 6% charge to customers as a tax rather than what it actually was, and they’ve stopped charging it altogether since January 2026.

What Did Asi Foods Do to San Francisco Domino’s Customers Between December 2023 and August 2026?

Filed as Hayden Miller, et al. v. Asi Foods Inc., et al. in the San Francisco Superior Court, the lawsuit alleges these four Domino’s locations charged customers 6% of their order tied to the city’s HSCO, then labeled it a tax on the receipt instead of a business surcharge. Under California’s Consumers Legal Remedies Act and Unfair Competition Law, businesses generally can’t disguise an add-on fee as a government tax — customers are entitled to know what they’re actually paying for.

Defendants deny doing anything wrong. Still, they stopped passing the fee to customers in January 2026, and agreed that if it ever comes back, it’ll be shown clearly and separately — not folded into the receipt as a tax.

This kind of case is easy to overlook because each individual charge is small. A 6% fee on a $20 order is a little over a dollar. Multiply that across thousands of orders at four locations over more than two and a half years, and it adds up to real money for the people who paid it.

A pattern like this shows up across industries where fees get buried in the fine print — the MySchoolBucks hidden fee settlement involved a completely different kind of business but the exact same complaint: a mandatory charge presented as something it wasn’t.

That’s exactly why this fee shows up in a class action instead of getting written off as too small to matter.

Who Qualifies for the Domino’s San Francisco HSCO Fee Settlement?

Here’s exactly how to know if this case includes you.

  • California residents who bought food at any of the four listed San Francisco Domino’s locations
  • Anyone who paid the 6% HSCO fee at those locations between December 4, 2023, and August 12, 2026
  • Customers whose purchase history with Defendants shows the fee, whether or not you remember it on your receipt

You do not qualify if you never ordered from these specific four locations, or if you submit a valid opt-out request by October 24, 2026.

Domino’s Customers Outside San Francisco — Are You Still Covered?

No. This settlement only covers the four listed Domino’s locations, all inside San Francisco. If you paid a similar-looking fee at a Domino’s anywhere else in California or the country, this case doesn’t include you, even if the receipt looked the same.

Not sure if you qualify for the Domino’s San Francisco HSCO fee settlement? A free consultation with a consumer fraud attorney can help before the November 8, 2026 deadline.

How Much Can Domino’s San Francisco HSCO Fee Settlement Class Members Get?

There’s no fixed settlement fund here. What you get is tied directly to how much of the 6% fee you personally paid.

Voucher — 75% of your fee. This is the default. If Defendants have a valid email address on file for you, the voucher arrives automatically with no claim needed. It’s redeemable only at the four San Francisco Domino’s locations named in the case.

Monetary Alternative — 50% of your fee. If you’d rather have cash than store credit, you have to file a claim choosing this option instead — otherwise you’ll get the voucher by default.

No email on file? You’ll need to send proof of purchase to the Claims Administrator first. Once that’s verified, you’ll get a login to file for whichever benefit you want.

These are individual, uncapped percentages rather than a shared pool, so one person filing a claim doesn’t shrink what anyone else receives. Amounts here are small for most people, so a 1099 is unlikely — but if your total fee paid was unusually high, check with a tax professional.

Class Counsel is asking for up to $200,000 in fees, and the three people who brought this case are asking for up to $1,500 combined for their trouble. That comes out of Defendants’ pocket, separate from what class members get.

How to File Your Domino’s San Francisco HSCO Fee Settlement Claim — Step by Step

  1. Check your email for a Voucher notice from the Settlement Administrator — if you’re happy with the voucher, you don’t need to do anything else
  2. If you’d rather have cash, go to the official claim page
  3. Verify your claim using your Notice ID and PIN, or the verification link sent in your notice
  4. Select the Monetary Alternative option instead of the Voucher
  5. If you never received an email from Defendants, send proof of purchase to the Claims Administrator first to get a login
  6. Submit before 11:59 p.m. on November 8, 2026, and save your confirmation

Takes about 10 minutes if you already have your login details. You have until November 8, 2026 — over 70 days from today — but remember, the voucher goes out by default if you don’t act.

Should Domino’s Settlement Class Members Opt Out or Object Before October 24, 2026?

What Opting Out of the Domino’s Settlement Actually Means

Opting out means you get no voucher and no cash payment. In exchange, you keep the right to sue Defendants on your own over these fees. Most people shouldn’t opt out without talking to a lawyer first, especially given how small these individual amounts tend to be. The deadline to opt out is October 24, 2026.

How to Object to the Domino’s Settlement

Objecting means you stay in the class but tell the court what you don’t like about the deal. Your objection needs your name, current address, phone number, signature, and the word “Objection” at the top, mailed or emailed to the Settlement Administrator by October 24, 2026. You can’t object and opt out at the same time — if you submit both, only the opt-out counts.

Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney before October 24, 2026 if you’re weighing either option.

If a small recurring fee like this one sounds familiar from somewhere else, the Optimum hidden fee settlement shows how a similar small-dollar refund settlement played out for a different industry entirely.

Domino’s San Francisco HSCO Fee — Frequently Asked Questions, No. CGC-25-630503

Do I need a lawyer to file a Domino’s San Francisco HSCO fee settlement claim?

 No. If Defendants have your email, you’ll get a voucher automatically. Filing for the cash alternative instead takes a few minutes online. A lawyer is more useful if you’re weighing an opt-out or objection before October 24, 2026.

Is the Domino’s San Francisco HSCO fee settlement legitimate? 

Yes. It’s court-authorized by the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco, under Case No. CGC-25-630503, with preliminary approval already granted.

When will Domino’s settlement payments be sent?

 Vouchers are being sent to Class Members with a valid email on file now. UNVERIFIED — the settlement website does not give a specific date for when Monetary Alternative payments will be issued after the December 18, 2026 Final Fairness Hearing.

What if I missed the Domino’s claim deadline?

 If you don’t file a claim by November 8, 2026, and Defendants have your email, you’ll still receive the 75% Voucher by default. If they don’t have your email and you never submitted proof of purchase, you won’t receive any benefit, but you’ll still be bound by the settlement unless you opted out.

Will my Domino’s settlement payment go on a 1099?

These are individual percentage refunds on a fee you already paid, so a 1099 is unlikely for most people. Check with a tax professional if your total benefit is unusually large.

What is the San Francisco Health Care Security Ordinance fee this case is about?

 It’s a charge some San Francisco businesses add to cover the cost of employee health care requirements under the city’s Health Care Security Ordinance. This case alleges the four Domino’s locations named in the suit displayed that fee as a tax instead of disclosing it as a business surcharge.

Can I choose between the Voucher and the cash Monetary Alternative?

 Yes. The Voucher is the default if Defendants have your email. To get cash instead, worth 50% of your paid fee rather than the 75% voucher value, you have to file a claim selecting that option by November 8, 2026.

How much will the lawyers and class representatives in this case get paid?

 Class Counsel is asking the court to approve up to $200,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs, and Class Representatives Hayden Miller, Abraham Barkhordar, and Daniel Baxter are asking for up to $1,500 combined for bringing the case, paid separately by Defendants.
