Profits in that type of business are paperthin, thats why publix does not offer the service anymore.

i was thinking more along the lines of like a to-go delivery business like from outback and olive garden etc....
i know a website would be needed but i'm unsure of the approach to their managers and the discounts from them for me as far as food orders and what to charge for delivery or flat rate etc....

Your idea is confusing me, are you starting a business to make food and deliver it?

[jburroughs]

No. its like a togo gos. Where you deliver food made by outback or olive garden etc... mainstream restaraunts Most ones in this area do not have a delivery service except like a pizza house. ALOT of people around here residents as well as businesses and drs offices would use this when they cant get out on lunch break or for any reason call up or fax an order. have an employee pick up food from ( say as an example ) outback and deliver the food to the business or residence... You follow? i know advertising is one thing needed as are basics like business license etc..a website with the menus available fax number for faxes etc.. i was also interested in adding an option to purchase cans of soda or bottles of juice/ water etc. for a super small fee. and ocasionally throw in a free desert once the place hits a certain amount of $ spent with the business id be running. Any input and help would be awesome Thanks
