What Is Caviar?
There are times when we all have a hankering for food from a restaurant, but for some reason, we do not feel like going out. Maybe we have no gas or even a car to get there.
Maybe it is too far to drive or it takes too long to get there. It could be we don’t want to go wait in line to order, or we don’t want to pay some astronomical food delivery charge.
What if the place you want food from does not even deliver? So, you’re stuck at home, you don’t want to leave the house, but you still want food from somewhere that does not deliver. And of course, you want the food fast!! Along comes Caviar.
fCaviar is a company that delivers lunch and dinner from your favorite local restaurants fast and affordably.
While working in San Francisco one day in 2012, Jason Wang and a group of his colleagues were hungry for lunch from a local sandwich place. The problem was the sandwich place did not deliver and to get across town and back would have taken too long.
They asked themselves why the good restaurants can’t deliver. They talked about how you can get mediocre and generic pizza, Thai and Indian food on every delivery site, but not the food they wanted.
With this thought in mind, Caviar was born. It is a premium food delivery service that brings the city’s best cuisine to your doorstep for a flat fee. The idea took off and it has grown. With venture capital investments, Caviar now operates in 15 cities in the United State and has grown from 10 to 110 employees.
Caviar’s service brings great food to hungry diners. Customers order ahead on the web or with Caviar’s free mobile app for iOS and Android. This app offers full-color pictures of food available on the restaurant’s menu.
