InandOut can stop DoorDash from unauthorized display of InandOut’s trademarked logo
but they can’t stop a delivery service (nor should they want to! — there are plenty of additional potential customers for their burgers out here...who can’t or don’t go to buy any.. due to the traffic congestion, lack of parking, or whatnot...they will sell more grub if private delivery services are willing to come in and buy them for all the people who can’t get to the burger stand)

It is about quality control — which In-n-Out strongly emphasizes and always has.
They can’t be sure the burgers get to the customer hot and ready as when they directly hand it to the customer.
But yeah, if someone buys a burger from them and then sells it to someone else for more there is probably nothing In-n-Out can do.
BTW: Best damn burgers on the planet, bar none (and that includes 5 Guys, *yech* Whataburger and *yech* *yech* Steakburger). Close second is Tommy’s chili burgers (which I miss terribly since leaving the L.A. area).
I disagree, if they can show that the food delivered is at a substandard level to what they serve at the restaurant, I believe that they would have a very good argument that their brand was being damaged.

I think the burger company CAN control and prevent illegal resellers.
