During the COVID-19 pandemic, employers are facing various challenges that threaten their profitability. With 47% of the workforce working from home, workforce productivity has never been more crucial to the survivability of many companies. With widespread office closures, reducing employees’ at-home distractions is an impactful way to improve productivity which will drive great profits. One significant at-home distraction is now meal planning.

For local owner-operated restaurants, limited dine-in capacity (many at 25% maximum at time of this proposal submission) and the high-costs of national food delivery companies threatens their livelihood and health. From restaurant owners interviewed, dine-in revenue suffers and existing national delivery services take up to 30% of online sales, greatly decreasing profitability of already struggling businesses. Further, restaurant owners report poor experiences with unpunctual drivers resulting in poor food quality and consumer experiences upon delivery, ultimately hurting the restaurants’ brand.

Partnering with a provider of autonomous delivery vehicles, DeliverEats will deliver delicious, professionally prepared, ready-to-heat meals from local restaurants, solving both our customers’ need for greater productivity and our suppliers’ need for greater, more stable sales volume and improved consumer experience.
