Italian Food Delivery
I am looking for ideas for a new bus. name.?

I live in Malibu Ca and am offering gourmet homestyle cooking for pick up or delivery. I live in a luxury resort style building and will be making my debut amongst my neighbors. Will offer the food to be left at the concierge for pick up or at my kithen door! Also am looking to make life easier for the wealthy stars and children to eat yummy, organic foods that require almost no prep when they get home, maybe pop it in the oven when they get home. I need a catchy name. My name is Linda Antico, I cook lot’s of italian, american, mexican, but can do anything. Any ideas?????????? Thanks!

What a fantastic business idea you have there! I wish you lots of success (and lots of cash!). I reckon that the root to go is a simple, wholesome name that really drives home your organic, homestyle food. My business name is Grumpy Turnip! Something like Cheeky Cow, Happy Carrot, Made With Love By Linda, Linda’s Table, Country Table…… I could go on forever. Hope this helps – good luck!

Italian Food Delivery

I work as restaurant hostess and am required to actually DRIVE to people’s houses and do deliveries?

I got this new job at Piatto..expensive Italian restaurant and they have me doing the take-out orders on the phone, transferring them into the computer, and also taking care of deliveries. (Taking the order through the phone and then taking the food to the customer’s house) I get paid 8 an hour plus tips. Do most hostesses do this kind of stuff?

No, most restaurant hostesses don’t deliver. They stay in the restaurant.

I would find out some things: first, are you using your car? For company work? Then you can deduct the expense from your income taxes: gas, oil, maintenance, and even insurance. If you are using the company vehicle, then you need to know what and HOW you are insured while you are driving. If your company has not spelled this out, then you can refuse to use YOUR vehicle unless you get reimbursed for the excess expense and wear-and-tear!!

If you were not hired as delivery, then you need to tell the boss that you don’t do delivery, or find another job. Delivery people have special requirements–safety issues and vehicle issues that will affect their jobs. If you were to (god forbid) get into an accident while delivering food, who would pay for your accident? The company? You?

Do you know?

What if you’re mugged? What if you’re hijacked? Who pays and what is in place to ensure your safety as a delivery person?

Are you bonded? What if there is an unavoidable delay on the road–can the customer sue the company for non-delivery–or do they come after you? Have they taken out liability insurance for you or ON you as a delivery person? I sure hope so, or you may be liable for any problems that come up as a result of your attempting to do your job.

What about weather issues? If you skid on a wet or snowy street–and you have delivery food–and it’s ruined in the car, what happens to you or the order?

There are WAY too many questions you need to ask here that you didn’t ask, or they didn’t answer. And until these questions are answered to your fullest satisfaction and until the answers ensure your safety and security, I would not be doing deliveries!!
