I love startups that blur the line between online and offline. Startups like ZeroCater that are able to offer an online experience that is not purely online or social like many others is an interesting space that I do not think is explored enough. I wish them the best of luck! Nice work guys!
Quick style comment on blog - I'd update the "Check out our website at: ZeroCater.com" on the top right (which I missed the first time I looked) to 18 - 24pt font min or a banner / button for easier finding.<p>Also, come to San Diego please :)
Really fantastic idea. I'm glad to see one of the hallmarks of famous status symbols in the tech industry like Google and Facebook is being spread elsewhere to increase productivity.
ZeroCater addresses a real need - food. We have this problem in Bangalore, India. We go out everyday to eat food. The choices are limited and food quality gets bad over days.<p>Solving this problem boils down largely to logistics and ensured food quality. Would be great if someone from India starts a Zerocater equivalent.
A Question : There is a some local Turkish website called yemeksepeti.com ( = food basket/cart. They have english version of their web site if you want to check ) which in service since 2001. One can see the menu and order any meal from the member resaturans and get his food in 10 to 40 minutes without paying extra fee.<p>If one implements the same system, he can kill the middle man. What prevents other start-ups to do that and how can zerocater protect it's business ?
I met you when Mike was an intern at justin.tv--really glad to see that ZeroCater is working out! Maybe we'll make the switch over once we move to the new office..
