Hello. I have a few questions: 1) What's the incentive for the customer to use your app instead of Postmates or Uber for instance? According to your comparison table there's a very minimal difference for the customer. Personally I'd prefer to keep using the established platfor...

Hi Leonardo, you've asked several great questions. I will answer them here and then add them to the WeFunder FAQ. 1) Customer incentive to use the app? To best answer your question, let me break our restaurant guests into two groups.

There is no friction to order. B) Restaurants can...

Follow up question: what's the delivery fee for outside delivery services? That would increase the cost significantly...

The delivery fee for outside services varies considerably by location. The highest rate our restaurants see in from a commercial service in San Diego area. They charge $6.40 for the first mile and then $1.90 for each additional mile. We use these rates in our price comparison tables.

On top of this extra windfall, the restaurant always has the option of passing all or part of the deli...

Hi, I have two questions - 1 - are you all planning on remaining an LLC for tax purposes? 2 - Do you anticipate becoming profitable within the near future? Thanks.

Hi Lucas, thanks for your questions. On entity type - We plan to change to a regular C-Corp before the SAFE would be triggered. We don't want to flood our community with K1s. The process in Nevada and completed with a simple statutory conversion. On profitability - We don't plan to be profitable any time in the near future. The addressable market is massive ($180B projected in 2024). As soon as we have operational profit, we will re-invest this money into new restaurant recruitment. We are al...
