I was talking to my brother on the phone today and somehow we started talking about Sushi. After a few moments, he made a barely audible comment like "F*ck it, im gonna order some sushi".
So its like 15 min later and we started talking about our parents, and right in the middle of our argument about who is gonna take mommy to the foot doctor, I hear him say, "I hope you're not looking for a tip, I paid it already on Seamless".
Now Im thinking to myself "WTF" cuz im not looking for a tip, then he explains every time he orders from this Japanese place, the delivery dude looks at his hand for a tip when he already paid it online.
So now Im interested because my brother is a cheapskate and if a business can get money outta him, then they have to be providing a great value. I probe a bit more and he says he loves Seamless cuz he can order from mad different restaurants while he's at work and because they already have his CC info it feels like he just clicks a button and a few minutes later food arrives.
He said he feels like a mouse in one of those experiments where they push the button and a cheese pellet falls out of the hole. Anyway, my question is: Is anyone working on something similar and how does the math work out?
Are you getting a discount from the store? Are you marking up the price? How are you paying the delivery dude/restaurant?
I dont know if Seamless has made its way to every nook and cranny of the country, but I think it would be cool to provide a similar service in smaller areas where you have to drive everywhere if the math works out.
