What is your revenue model? I'd imagine you take a cut from the delivery service that you send customers to?

Just wondering about the long-term unit economics, given 1) many of these delivery companies aren't profitable and 2) they already charge a large premium for delivery.

Congrats on the launch!

That's exactly right. Most delivery platforms have affiliate revenue, where we get a small percentage of the overall transaction (and courier fee). We don't plan on taking a significant cut early on but may be able to renegotiate with greater traction. We see delivery platforms in a turf war, basically commoditizing themselves and competing on logistics. We think there is room for an aggregator here.
