The Start of Something Great

Ever have one of those days? You know what kind of day I'm talking about: Work was a royal pain, traffic was a nightmare and all you want to do is come home, pour yourself a glass of something strong and dig into some good food. But you're not in the mood to cook, and your THIS sick of the same ol' pizza you get delivered too often already.

This is how the concept of FoodJiva was born. Our co-founders were tired of sifting through their crumpled-up take-out menus and exhausted from spending an hour+ online trying to find restaurants that deliver to their homes. With FoodJiva, you go to the website (http://www.foodjiva.com/), type in your address and presto! You'll get a list of restaurants, with interactive menus, that deliver to your place. You can scroll over individual dishes to get a detailed description and sometimes even a photo of the food. Click what you want, place the order online with your credit card (using our safe and secure system) and before you know it, you've got good, hot food at the ready.

Most of our restaurants don't even charge delivery fees, and even the ones that do are super low - think $5 or less. And while you get an estimated delivery time before you place your order, you'll get an exact time via email once you place the order, so there's no guessing on when you'll get your food. You can even add the tip online when you place your order, so when the delivery person shows up, you can literally take the bag of food and be done with it - no signing anything.

The staff at FoodJiva truly believes in what we're doing, and we all use the service regularly. Since I'm kind of a foodie, I'm SUPER excited about this whole concept and company. I'm going to be blogging here to give you the scoop on our current roster of restaurants, update you when we add new restaurants and just keep you updated on general FoodJiva happenings.

Please leave comments or email me with any restaurant suggestions you may have. We want to add your favorite delivery restaurants to FoodJiva!

Stay tuned for my next post, which will tell you all about what JIVA means and how the meaning is an integral part of our business.

Good eating-
