I keep seeing things like this, people hating on the delivery companies. Customers moving to takeout and restaurants moving to self delivery.

Its pushed me to have my quaranteen/layoff project be to create a competitor that supports only self delivery and takeout but has the order, management, aggragation functions, and crm of the competition for a low flat fee (plus cc fees).

Not to stop you from doing this because competition is good for businesses, but this exists. ChowNow is a commision-free piece of software anyone can buy for a flat monthly fee. Slice is a pizza-focussed app that charges a flat fee per delivery. I have no idea why they're so focussed on pizza rather than the general market, but do what you know, I guess.

Former Slice user here. They're focused on pizza only because they started as a pizzeria in Staten Island. They know their vertical. Part of the mission is specifically to help pizzerias.

I only stopped using them because I moved away from NYC.

I sincerely hope you can get that rolling. Power to the people!

Edit: saw this in another part of HN, if you're at the right stage you may want to look into this: https://builders.mozilla.community/
