From this customer’s POV on the re-delivery service, the delivery fee was awfully high – $4.00 in my area on top of a $10 – $15 minimum order. And very few non-chain options. I’d rather support my local pizzaria/BBQ joint that serves a wonderful pulled pork sandwich and heavenly mac & cheese!
If you look at the "Waiters on Wheels" web site I posted, you’ll see very few chains (one Quizno’s, a CA Pizza Kitchen, a Marie Calender’s and several Chevy’s being exceptions). Of course, there aren’t many chain places (other than fast food) in SF so that may explain why. I agree the delivery charge (plus tip) is high which is why I personally wouldn’t use them except when I have no other choice (such as when I couldn’t get out of bed as I previously explained), but I am constantly amazed as what my affluent neighbors will spend and I see the "Waiters on Wheels" guy coming and going from the building all the time.
