It would be innovative if they had some super fast on-line optimization of delivery routes. Optimized routes would allow them to chain several pickups from restaurants with a chain of deliveries.

Given the fact that the optimization is global they would have the advantage of doing global optimization over each restaurant doing it locally. Therefore they could charge less for deliveries while paying their workers the same.

Unfortunately, a google search of the founders tells us they haven't got the slightest clue how to do that. What the investors can hope is that this money will allow them to find people that can make the extra effort to rise the business above all of the similar ones.
