Interestingly, I was only yesterday thinking about Deliverance[1]. They were a food delivery company in London that did just that — they cooked all of the meals and then delivered them, but they closed down a few years ago.
I remember these guys. It was one of the best ways to order food to the office that pleased everyone. It was comparatively good food vs its competitors back in the day.
i wonder why it's a billion dollar business now and not then. Is it mobile penetration allow low paid citizen to deliver ? But scooters have always existed..
