I wonder if there's some business opportunity there. I would guess a pool of drivers that serve more than one pizza chain might be more efficient than ones assigned to a specific company. Or maybe the pizza companies have some vision to leverage their own driver networks for things other than pizza?

A multi-pizzeria network of drivers might work; they could call themselves Deliverators.

After all, like Stephenson said, when you get down to it America really only does four things very well. Music, movies, microcode, and high-speed pizza delivery.

Jamie Zawinski was just complaining about the lack of options in this market on his DNALounge blog last week.

Well your leverage with a pizza place that already has its own drivers might be a bit different.

More like a white label offering. Which has lower margins, and requires the customers don't view their driver network as an asset.
