Food Delivery Just Got Better! How Homer Logistics Helps New York Restaurants' Delivery Process

When Adam Price inquired restaurants in New York City about their food delivery process, he found out that restaurants do not like the process of hiring and managing their delivery staff and system. Restaurants believe that the entire process of managing the delivery system takes their focus and concentration away from properly running their restaurants.

For this reason, Price decided to launch a company which will allow restaurants to outsource their food delivery process instead of doing it themselves. CNBC reports that the company is called Homer Logistics. "We're developing a better way to distribute packages in a large urban environment," Price told CNBC.

Homer Logistics provide restaurants with a trained food delivery staff and system as well as an app which communicates the orders received by restaurants. Restaurants find the whole delivery process more effective and efficient with the help of Homer. The delivery time for the restaurants has gone down to 20 minutes from 45 minutes after getting the services of Homer Logistics.

Price's visionary start-up company gets a percentage from the total order and a flat-fee for every food delivery. Most of Homer Logistics' delivery staff average around 25,000 food deliveries a month. "Revenue, which was around $500,000 to $1 million last year, is on track to increase to anywhere from $2 million to $10 million in 2016, according to Price," CNBC shared.

Homer Logistics started out in Manhattan and is planning to expand in Chicago, Philadephia and other cities, one at a time. The company's competitors include GrubHub and DoorDash. All these food delivery, menu and online ordering guides among the best local restaurants intend to deliver your meals and snacks right to your doorstep with a few easy clicks.

In a separate interview with Forbes, CEO and founder Adam Price explained his ultimate vision for Homer Logistics: "We raise wages for these guys who are commonly exploited, remove the burden from restaurants, which don't want to do deliveries anyway, and help the safety footprint of the city."
