We run the National Real Estate On-line Convention and need the URL to
a site where th evisitor can order and have a meal delivered just
about anywhere in the country to refer our attendees to. It must have
pretty good coverage across the US. Second choice would be a franchise
or major chain that has web meal ordering and delivery.
and delivery across the US.

Hi there.

I don't know what happened to the original version of this question,
but I wanted to make sure you were aware of one possibility that I had
posted there.

Take a look at:

http://www.waiter.com

and let me know if it meets your needs.

Thanks.

Hi -

The original was deleted because I had contact info on it.

I will check this out tomorrow to see if it has wide enough geographic
coverage and get back.

Thanks

Hi -

It looks like waiter.com is heavily concentrated on the west coast. We
have tentatively decided to go with www.RMD.info.com unless something
better crops up.

If nothing else better develops in the next 30 days I will authorize
Google to pay you the fee.

Thanks! 

Jack

Hi there.

There have been a lot of articles lately about geographic-based
services and information on the web, and how this is a technology that
just hasn't quite "arrived" yet.  Your question is making that all too
clear, I'm afraid.

I'm not sure how you intend to make use of the www.rmd.info.com site,
but there's another site I want to make sure you're aware of.

Yahoo's map collection recently added a very useful feature that will
pop-up all sorts of information -- restaurants, banks, movie theaters,
etc -- for most areas of the US.

For instance, I chose Minneapolis pretty much at random, as an
example, and asked for the locations of Chinese restaurants.  Here is
the link:

http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?zoomin=yes&name=&ed=9n4Bqep_0TquBc9V77qPuVsYPLdQG8sJ1YRuRtLzo.uapjZGgpNwqn22Xa5ZKUJjntNzBk4pDUPoEqraOp9.M6eKMw--&state=MN&csz=Minneapolis%2C+MN&ds=n&uzip=55415&mag=9&desc=&country=US&dma=613&cat=dine&resize=s&rezoom=1&.intl=us&compass=&pan_x=0&pan_y=0&BFKey=ch

Click on any dot on the map, for the name of restaurant, phone, etc. 
You can do the same for other cuisines, or other services, for that
matter.

Of course, this doesn't guarantee that these restaurants have delivery
service.  But if someone wants to call for a pizza, I'm sure it
wouldn't be that hard to find.

If you need any help exploring the Yahoo site, just let me know.

Do you need cooked, hot meals delivered?  If you don't, this web site
offers fabulous choices for meals that arrive frozen:

Thank --

Appreciate your suggestion but our attendees want their meal while
they are at the Expo -- This site appears to deliver the frozen food a
day or so after the order.

Thanks!
