Pepper's Pizza is owned by Paulie Pepper. It is a popular restaurant partially because Pepper's guarantees that their pizzas
will be delivered within forty-five minutes of the order, or the customer gets it free. To ensure that they get the pizzas
delivered on time, they have drivers who are employees of Pepper's. One of these drivers is Charles Earnhardt. When the
ordinary drivers are busy, they also use Restaurant-to-You, a food delivery service. Restaurant-to-You is an independent
contractor to Pepper's Pizza.
Charles Earnhardt was late delivering a pizza and noticed that he only had a few minutes before the guarantee would kick in. He sped up past the speed
limit and hit Jennifer Duke's parked car. Who is liable for the damage to Duke's car?
