We use it all of the time... very convenient.

Has the poster never heard of Diningin.com?

Not only is it available in multiple major metropolitan (Sorry NYC folks, you'll have to ZipCar [ZipCar.com] this one as well) areas, but you can order from restaurants online and have it delivered to you.

Sure, DiningIn.com not free but as far as I can tell all this service does is make it so you don't have to use a phone to call in your take out order and that doesn't seem that useful to either consumers or restuarants - little wonder it's failed before, I would guess.

http://www.diningin.com/ has been here since the "dot-com" boom, and is still going strong. I've used them for years. -- no .sig

Right - just like these guys have been doing for years as well...

Actually 18 years - many of the early ones were via a mailing that contained all of the resturant menus, but I've been using their web order system for at least four years.

I've been using http://www.diningin.com/ myself. Dunno why this is such a hot idea now?

Their drink selection blows tho.

Concur. Boston (and it looks like several other cities) has had Dining In for some time, and their list of restauants is huge. Now granted, most of the places are overpriced and so I just order my pizza and chinese over the phone anyway, but it's there, and I sure do get their fliers in the mail.

Kozmo delivered movies and convenience store products (and even electronics). Stuff you really couldn't have delivered easily from anyone else. It wasn't just "but it's on the Internet!" but rather a whole new thing.

This is just food delivery where you order online -- just like DiningIn has been doing for years (Boston, Chicago, Philly, and Dallas). And news-flash: there's thousands of restaurants that aready do delivery, so adding "on the Internet!" isn't all that exciting.
