Additionally, if I was living in, say, NYC, why would I have a random person cook my meal instead of ordering excellent takeout? Not saying that what you are building is a bad idea, just wondering how you plan to compete with the hordes of restaurants that deliver and food delivery services for restaurants that don't. If it's price, then you probably won't have much left over. If it's novelty, I think it'll wear off. Now, if you allowed me to instantly hire wait staff, that would be a much more interesting idea. For example, I recently had a family party where I went running around like a mad person trying to make sure everything was in order. Having wait staff take care of my guests would have been great, but I don't want to hire anyone anywhere near even part time, and I'd need someone roughly vetted and an authority I can complain to if something goes wrong. I bet restaurants would go nuts for this too.
