What Problem Are They Solving?
Deciding how, what, and where to eat has never been at your convenience. This decision process normally involves navigating across several apps or websites, searching for restaurants that serve your appetite while comparing prices and value. The delivery route of these services from our competitors has low efficiency and generates tons of toxic pollution in to the environment.
