  1. Thanks for sharing ! Dial-a-dinner is a good example of a business that centralizes the ordering and delivery services for restaurants, and at the same time offers more choices and convenient ordering for customers. From their web site, it looks like Chiram Strategic Group (CSG) owns restaurants and operates a food logistics business as well.

    Do you think it is a good business model for them to deliver food from other restaurants (aside from their own) ?

  2. That's true. It can diversify the types of food and restaurant range if they can proactively invite other restaurants to join them. But I think they may need more staff for doing the sales and marketing.
