At the end of last month, Sacramento witnessed the launch of ‘Waitr,’ a food delivery app.  Sonny Mayogba (a Sacramento native and the company’s CMO), has been instrumental in bringing this app (based in Louisiana) to Sacramento.

Initially only the Sacramento and Roseville regions will be privy to this service.  One of the most unique (and attractive) features of this is the set delivery fee of $6.99.  As Mayogba pointed out: “No minimums, no maximums and we don’t charge extra for delivery zones. Delivery fees can run up to $15 on other platforms, and we don’t do that.”

With the lowest fees and data-rich technology, restaurants can become smarter with the app.  They own a driver network and is the only firm that actually conducts face-to-face interviews with their drivers as well as full FBI background checks.  Drivers are also allowed to keep their own tips and set their own schedules.

In addition, Waitr offers each restaurant the option of a photoshoot, in which the restaurant can keep the photos and use them marketing, again something other vendors in the industry do not do.
