Neighborhood food delivery collective

Create a platform for local restaurants to pool delivery logistics. Help small businesses compete with aggregators.

Why now

Third-party apps take huge commissions while providing generic service.

Who for
Independent restaurants
Business model
Monthly SaaS fees
Effort
A few months

Local restaurants lose profitability to delivery apps' 30% fees. A co-op model where nearby restaurants share drivers could cut costs.

Build scheduling and route optimization tools. Monetize through flat monthly fees rather than per-order cuts.

Start with basic order routing between 2-3 willing test restaurants. Expand features as network grows.

Risk: Chicken-and-egg problem building initial network.
