    Hottest thing in Brazosport since plastic!!

    And to my Houston Cfers. Tons of new restaurants are coming soon. California Pizza Kitchen for one! And many more! Support a cfer and order on the app!

    I'm working hard on Sugar Land currently then bringing this home to Clear Lake so I can order bacon to my house on a tough Saturday morning after a Rockets loss.

    That's where I live and it will be our next area after Sugar Land. I've been planting the seeds in many of the operators to make it happen quick once I'm given the green light.

    Uber eats has limited options. Favor inflates the restaurants pricing, we don't (check a websites pricing then check favors, they do a 10-15% pad on many menus to make extra revenue).

    Also because the restaurant is setting the expectations our delivery will be much quicker than favor.

    Additionally, browsing the menus with photos is always fun!

    I use Postmates a couple times a week...havent had any issues with them and I usually get my food within 20-30 minutes of submitting my request.

    I'll have to give this a shot. It'll really just depend on the delivery fee.

    Looks cool, I will have to check it out. How is this different than GrubHub? I have been using them for the last 2 years but I have had some recent issues with them.

    Not yet, but I have some restaurants interested around the area and we will begin on-boarding later this year. Shoot me a PM with your email and I can send you some information.
    Make sure to check the actual menu prices. Post mates advertises 2.99 delivery fees at times but will jack up the prices on those items to make their margin. And if the options aren't perfect yet know I am working hard to bring more variety!!! We are the new kid on the block.
    GrubHub doesn't actually execute the deliveries, as far as I know they could have changed, so the restaurant is doing the delivery. They are just an online ordering platform. It can be great if the restaurant has the available staff, but also very slow if they're understaffed that day.

    So I'm using this APP today. We ordered a small order, late lunch.

    I dunno, deliver fee of $6 PLUS a tip seems high. Maybe I'm crazy though?

    Will give feedback on timeliness of order.

    Let me know! And it's competitive with the other fees in the area, with real menu prices. Competition will inflate the prices 10-15% then charge a lower delivery fee. Great thing to do in the office is take advantage of the group order option. Everyone orders and pays from their own phone, and the group pays just 1 delivery fee.
    Lol I wish. BUT I did just sign a big group in the Houston market this week. So I'm getting closer!!
