A pizza store has a 5 store chain of pizza restaurants. It purchased self service soda dispensers for all its stores from a company called Carbo. As part of the contract, Carbo agreed to maintain and repair the soda machines for 3 years. 6 months later, the maintenance guy at Carbo retired. Instead of hiring a new employee, Carbo entered a new contract with a company called Bubbles, transferring its obligation to maintain and repair the machines to Bubbles. After several machines were unusable for long periods, the pizza shop sued Carbo for breach of its contract to repair the machines. Carbo denied any responsibility and said that it delegated the duty to Bubbles which now had the obligation to perform. Who should win this lawsuit?
