• The franchise is for the operation of a home delivery services business that arranges with local restaurants (“Restaurant Partners”) to provide services to facilitate and coordinate the catering, delivery, and takeout orders for both residential and commercial customers of the Restaurant Partners.

• One of the unique aspects of the System is the use of proprietary software in the franchisee’s business operation. Your role will be to contract with restaurants in your Protected Territory to provide delivery services.

• You will promote those services to customers, and customers will place orders either by telephone or online, and all purchases will be processed through the software and credited directly to your bank account.

• The franchisor has made available through a national contract a service that hires and provides delivery drivers. You will enter into a contract for the services of your independent drivers.
