Fair & Compliant Driver Reimbursements for Restaurant
We built Mile Tracer to help restaurants eliminate legal risk, ensure accurate driver pay, and replace outdated mileage reimbursement methods with a compliant, data-driven solution designed specifically for food delivery operations.
Mile Tracer approached us to create a legally defensible reimbursement system tailored specifically for restaurant delivery operations to protect businesses while ensuring drivers were paid fairly.
The Challenge
Legal Risk from Outdated Reimbursement Models
Many restaurants relied on standard IRS mileage rates to reimburse delivery drivers which has broad national averages that often failed to reflect real-world delivery costs.
Under-Reimbursed Drivers
Short, frequent delivery routes, rising fuel prices, urban traffic, and vehicle wear led to hidden pay gaps, exposing businesses to wage disputes.
Growing Compliance Pressure
Courts and regulators increasingly scrutinized generic mileage rates, putting restaurants at risk of wage theft claims, class-action lawsuits, and labor law violations.
Lack of Defensible Records
Without itemized, historical reimbursement data, businesses struggled to demonstrate compliance or defend their practices during audits or disputes.
