Scheduled Food Delivery to Nurses. Thoughts?

[Sanders4069]

What if you could:

Browse an online menu.

Schedule food to be delivered on the days that you work.

Show up that day and find food in your unit refrigerator? Ready to pull out and eat when you're ready.

Think this would catch on?

What would you pay per plate?

What meals would you like to see?

I, for one, would not trust delivery that is left in the fridge- we've had far too many incidents of people "mistaking" someone's lunch bag as their own. However, we do have a rotation of food trucks who take turns during the week at getting the primo spots across from the employee entrance. I don't know if they made their own agreements about who gets them when, but on Monday it's always the Greek food truck and on Friday it's always the dessert truck (spots for 2 trucks each day- I can't remember what the others are). While it's great they're there and they probably make a killing, I could see a portable cart visiting the units as a much easier way for more people to enjoy it- the walk out to the truck, the wait, and trying to eat it in 30 minutes is not an easy accomplishment. The portable cart would be a great option.

I like the food truck idea but also think the delivery is too complicated to be worth it. I often thought of starting a Starbuck's delivery business because the Starbuck's was right in the middle of a triangle of hospitals(6-7 plus drs offices). I would have done it at night.
