It's an app for androids and apple users where you can order things from different restaurants around your area and get it delivered to you with no fee. You're just tipping the driver. It's picking up steam in BR, and it's well established and widely used in Lake Charles and Laffyette. It's growing in Houston and there are currently plans to expand into New Orleans in the near future. These guys are about to make a lot of money.

Sure if they can compete with the 5 or 6 other services that are here in Houston.

How do they make money if the delivery is "free," either they're upcharging you on the food, or they're forcing the restaurant to give them a break on the cost.

This is not true. $5 fee both times I've used it in addition to tipping the driver.
Worth it for a group of people hungover on the couch. Not worth it to order lunch at the office for just myself.

Yeah thought the "fee" was included in the price and then you tip the waiter... kinda like when you order a pizza they add a delivery fee and then you tip the driver

My fiance and i use it all the time when were too busy to run out and pick something up. I like it. you can order from restaurants all over the city. sure as hell beats driving to seigen for 20 minutes to try and get to zoroona.

Maybe I was wrong, I was of the understanding that they make money by charging the restaurant a small fee per delivery. I think that delivery fee also goes to the drivers as kind of like a mandatory tip as they are not salaried.
ETA: Part time drivers are not salaried. Full time drivers get a little bit.

Another app that makes me question why in the world I ever got a Windows Phone. I'd love to get AM Mart or Roul's delivered.
