Dear Customers
I know some of you have wondered where we went. We had two things impact us very hard and suddenly.
(1) The drop in orders due to economical instability
(2) Personal matters of my own. Now as for my personal matter it is nothing bad, all good in fact but I am covered up with a lot of paperwork as a result.
So let's address order decline. We totally understand that the current economic stress causes us all concern. Our software provider tagged on that extra $2.00 per order which we did not like at all. We had already set prices to our rock bottom point in order to save you money but their move put us right back up there with Doordash (slightly under in some cases, over on others)
Now I want to say we may not be gone forever. As many of you know I am a web designer and I also code apps. We are currently looking into a “Courier Service” which will encompass food delivery as well as “Item or Package Delivery” however this must first be built. (Currently in progress). I can not say for certain that this will become a reality but we are looking into it and testing systems. One thing for certain is that there will be no third parties that can impose additional fees.
We are also looking at the possibility of helping each locally owned restaurant set up delivery services directly for them (For those that choose to go this route).
Going the route of “Self owned and hosted software will eliminate a lot of fees and allow us to offer the same low prices without our company going negative. I have always said we were in it to make a living, not to get rich. I want to take the time to thank every person who has ordered from us in the past and hope you will choose us again should we come back.
Now as for myself, I am personally retired now however should we re-launch it will continue to be operated by my son who is a very business minded young man. He shares dads vision and I think everyone will love him very much. Again I am not certain which direction this may go however you can rest assured we will announce it here when we decide. One again we thank you.
