People in Sacramento will soon have another way to fill their stomachs. Darren McAdams has just opened a new service called FoodJets within the business he founded in 1993, called Food to You USA Inc. While Food to You USA delivers food to homes, offices and hotel rooms in 13 markets and six states, FoodJets promises to get it there faster. Noticing that people have little patience for waiting – at all – his new service allows customers to order food through an app and to have affordable, locally prepared food in their hands within ten minutes.
FoodJets has no delivery fees or tipping and all drivers are employees of the company who start at $10 per hour. He hopes to make his money on volume and price point, he explains. FoodJets has created exclusive partnerships with certain restaurants and currently has between 10-12 such locations in the Sacramento area.
Meals are all priced under $10 and include just the basics. For lunch you pick from three main options, and for dinner you’ll have three as well. During the last 30 minutes of the lunch hour (11-2) and the dinner hour (5-9) food is 50% off.
The company even has a charitable aspect, donating leftovers to the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services and offering customers an option to donate a meal.
