It just doesn&#x27;t solve any pain points for me, I don&#x27;t think.<p>Maybe one. The only pain point it possibly might solve for me is the the advertised price is not often the <i>real</i> price. (For example, an $8.99 pizza is only $8.99 not counting delivery fee, tip, and the fact that to get it at $8.99 you must order two. This is often obscured in ads and such for obvious reasons)<p>That&#x27;s maybe the only pain point I think it could solve. The rest of the modern delivery process is just that, pretty modern for me. I can&#x27;t recall the last time I ordered pizza <i>not</i> from a computer that remembered my address, preferences, etc. I&#x27;ve never used an app, but I bet if I Google there are a few I could choose from.

Crunchbutton (.com) started as something similar (originally called &quot;One Button Wenzel&quot;, named after a sandwich famous on Yale campus). It&#x27;s an interesting idea, and might be particularly suited to orders like pizza, which are predictable and repeatable. Unfortunately in crunchbutton&#x27;s case, the novelty wore off pretty quickly. I&#x27;m surprised to see that they&#x27;re still around, given how few locations they serve.

This is the <i>exact opposite</i> of an &quot;Uber for Pizza.&quot;
