Meals4U aims to create a service that would allow you to place online orders for food, even to places that typically do not allow online orders. The way it works is simple, you pick the restaurant, load up the menu, and place your order through our service. Our freelance and hired drivers pick up the job, drive over, get your meal, and bring it over to your location. The customer is responsible for the cost of the food, a surcharge for the delivery as well as a tip for the driver. In addition to the ability to just buy individual meals, customers have the option to sign up for a subscription plan. This would allow him or her to set a budget each for each week or month, and select the days that they would like food delivered. For example, a person working a job days Monday - Friday could sign up for a plan that would allow him a hot meals delivered to his work place every single day, and he would be responsible for payment of 5 meals at the end of the day. While delivery services have existed for a while, the two unique features are the subscription service as well as the method of hiring drivers. Similar to the way Uber is set up, where average people looking for extra cash on hand sign up to be cab drivers, Meals4U would allow normal people looking for a income boost to sign up for delivery drivers. They would receive specific instructions on their phone, and simply would have to pick up the food and drive it over to the drop off spot. We believe this is a very viable market, and intend to come up with a proper marketing strategy to ensure its success.
