Online Takeout Delivery is Back

prostoalex writes "It's like watching e-Dreams and re-living the Kozmo.com experience, only this time it's for real, the New York Times says. SeamlessWeb is here (or rather, in New York, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles and southern Connecticut) to take your take-out orders and deliver the food. All is done via their Web site so no need to look for that takeout menu: "SeamlessWeb charges restaurants a commission of 5 percent to 15 percent, while the business pays a 2.5 percent fee for each transaction. The process for consumers will work much the same, except they will be charged no service fee.""

Looking forward to this:

1. Drive to nearby Domino's that offers free WiFi
2. Order Domino's pizza online at their web site.
3. Drive home and wait for pizza.

OK, this is how it works.

0) Go to the Dominos store
1) Intercept the WiFi.
2) Grab delivery orders from the web
3) Place the order in person at the Dominos
4) Pay pickup prices
5) Deliver the pizza yourself
6) Charge delivery prices
7) Profit!

If you do this right they will just think that you buy a lot of pizza.

Shhh. Don't make them think. It gives them a headache.

Oops...

I double checked, and found that I accidentally typed dominatrix.com instead of dominos.com. I was wondering why I never got any pizzas, but this weird lady kept knocking at my door.

I once ordered a ninja burger, but it never came, so I guess that the delivery person committed seppuku.
