I wish we could have something similar in modern times. Instead, we have a handful of equally-shitty delivery platforms with terrible and bloated UIs and no API.

Wasn't Google supposed to solve this for us? Wasn't the news crammed for a week with demos of a disembodied Google-powered ordering Chinese food by telephone?

What ever happened to that?



They signed deals with Postmates and Caviar and now they can't ship features that will render those businesses irrelevant.


Neither of those companies exist anymore so that doesn’t seem like a problem.


Postmates still exists, or at least something does that operates under that name.


Postmates was acquired by Uber last month I believe. Caviar was acquired by Doordash and the brand only sort of still exists.
