Quote:So start a company like Dining in where you get places like McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, et al to outsource their deliveries to you. Of course you'd probably need a headcount of about 1000 people who work non-stop to cover all the dispersion of franches just in the city. And you'd also need to charge like a $5 delivery fee to make it profitable so people don't buy $1.50 worth of donuts and give a .50 tip.
they had a service like this where i used to live 15 years ago. they had a bunch of places you could get food at deli's, restaurants, grocery stores. i used it all the time. they weren't in business very long but it was fun while it lasted.
i still think it's a good idea but it has some major problems.
