Picture this…It is 10pm, dinner was five hours ago. You have about 4 hours of work standing between you and sweet, sweet sleep. You could really go for some pancakes. Maybe some fresh IHOP ones? If only they delivered. Well, now you just might be in luck! DASH, a new start-up created by 28 year old Phil Dumontet operates out of only 7 cities currently. It provides the fastest delivery from the best restaurants who don’t have their own delivery services. They promise to deliver in under 40 minutes. Some of the restaurants include:
Dashed offers service available exclusively on Foodler. Founded in 2009 with 1 biker & 1 restaurant, the company has grown to be the leading restaurant delivery service in the Northeast, serving over 800 top-rated restaurants that wouldn’t otherwise offer delivery across Boston, Providence, New Haven, Hoboken & Jersey City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC. Dashed is the first service of its kind to offer full delivery & marketing services for its restaurant partners, so restaurants can focus on what they should: taking care of in-house customers. The company has been showered with awards and acclaims over the years which are only growing.
Whoah! What?!?! This is awesome! I could seriously use this service right now. Can we petition for Dashed to be introduced to the Grove City area?! This idea satisfies a big demand for people who don’t feel like driving to simple food places…since usually only pizza places are known to deliver. This could really change up the game for restaurants if it continues to grow in popularity.
I can see how this idea would have a broad audience. Not only would it satisfy those who don’t want to or cant drive to a restaurant, but it also appeals to the restaurants who can now reach a broader audience. I did a little more research on the founder and CEO of Dashed, Phil Dumontet. He was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2016, which is an impressive feat. He’s also a contributor to The Washington Post, Entrepreneur Magazine, Business Insider, Fast Company, and Inc. Magazine. I also read that Phil is an avid runner who places among the top 20 runners in the 25-29 year old age group. I can see why the company started out as a biking business and not with a car, it seems like he was very invested in his company.
This is a wonderful idea! It’s cool that the business has grown so far from the start-up. Food is a product that everyone needs and will always need, which will help his business. I’m sure this is popular around college campuses. It would do very well at Grove City.
