If you were a delivery worker for a New York State liquor store that used Drizly’s alcohol delivery service, you may be eligible for a payment from a $4 million class action settlement.
Background of the Case
Drizly, LLC has reached a $4 million settlement with the New York Attorney General following allegations that it misrepresented how customer tips were handled. The state’s investigation found that Drizly led customers to believe tips left through its platform would go directly to delivery workers. However, those tips were instead sent to store owners, many of whom failed to properly distribute them or engaged in improper tip pooling.

To qualify for a payout, you must meet all of the following conditions:
- Worked as a delivery driver directly employed by a liquor store in New York State
- The store used Drizly’s platform to fulfill customer orders
- Your employment occurred anytime between 2013 (when Drizly launched in NY) and March 2024 (when it ceased operations)
Roughly 8,385 delivery workers from 2,453 liquor stores across the state are included in the settlement.
