The idea of delivering dishes from hotels to home seemed a good one, since the language of food is appealing to all. Many discouraged them, saying that such a venture will be impossible to sustain for long. They took it as a challenge and decided to go ahead with the plan. In the beginning, they had the support of 2-3 restaurants and the venture was started on a trial run basis.<\/p>\n<h3>So far..<\/h3>\n<p>After months of studying the sector, these youngsters started the enterprise two months ago. <strong>Currently, there are eight restaurants on their list<\/strong> and they operate in the city domains like Kowdiar and Vellayambalam. They plan to expand their network to Chakkai, Sreekaryam and Technopark areas by adding more hotels to their list. Now<strong> the delivery is being done for free<\/strong> but if your home is beyond their service area a nominal petrol charge will be levied. After gaining a strong foothold in the food market, D4Delivery plans to take up delivery of grocery items, vegetables and other essential items. D4Delivery has now an average of 60-70 regular customers per month and their number is rising. There are positive feedbacks from satisfied customers from both sides, ie the restaurants as well as the customers.<\/p>\n<h3>Social Factor<\/h3>\n<p>D4Delivery is not just about food. This group of youngsters feels that, apart from delivering food to customers, they can also take-up social responsibility by inculcating healthy eating habits among the people and also create a platform for the youth to take-up social causes for the common good.<\/p>\n<h3>Future Plans<\/h3>\n<p>D4Delivery has many plans for their future. <strong>They plan to deliver combo packs where you can choose one dish from a restaurant and another dish from another restaurant<\/strong>. They also plan to introduce alerts through mobile, SMS Apps for the customer\u2019s convenience by December. They also plan to launch a fully-fledged website of their own by March 2014.<\/p>\n<p>For those Trivandrumites who wish to taste their favourite restaurant dishes in the comfort of their homes, D4Delivery is truly a blessing. Let\u2019s hope that they make a success story out of this concept.<\/p>\n<p>You can get their service by calling <em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">0471-6004600<\/span><\/em> or through their Facebook page <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/d4delivery\">www.facebook.com\/d4delivery<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wished to eat out without stirring from your home?
