How does the author know it isn't the driver that will get the short end of the stick here? To put it differently, what would happen if the restaurant mistakenly charged the driver who is picking up the food more than listed and then the driver pays that mistaken amount with Doordash's credit card? Will they be penalized/fired once Doordash discovers the accounting error?

It would be illegal to penalize the drivers, at least financially. I doubt the driver is given the choice of not buying the food based on price. If Doordash did have some way to penalize them, they could just bounce over to Grubhub or others. Doordash is advertising food at a given price - they must sell it at that price, regardless of price of purchase.
