There seems to be some exaggerated enthusiasm in the Internet investment world these days about home delivery of meals.
I can see that the field of home and office delivery to busy people is growing. The Internet is helpful in the delivery of many goods and services including dry cleaning, groceries and meals. 'Helpful' but not a billion dollar valuation.
Google and Amazon are taking aim at this ‘busy modern person’ phenomena. Amazon has the infrastructure to deal with it.
I can get excited about provision of home services, such a Task Rabbit and Diamond Certified and the dozen other outgrowths of this workers in your home realm.
But it doesn’t apply to meal delivery. People have been ‘ordering out’ Chinese and Pizza for half a century. It is hard to get excited about the natural expansion of this service and the concomitant growth of to-go foods from mainstream grocery stores.
Where am I wrong on this?
