The service will start out in San Francisco through partnerships with food delivery startup Eat24 and Delivery.com, including 100 local businesses. Stoppelman described this as a “staging” before the platform enters new verticals and markets. The goal was to make it as scaleable as possible, and there are already a slew of other partners signed up.
