At one point or another, all of us have heard the word BUSINESS and have had the buzzword rattle through our head and do this thing: DING DING DING "suit, ties, powerpoint decks, and big corporate." However, we are not this. We are bunch of young people at the tip of an iceberg lettuce, finding new ways to make your experience great.
We are throwing it back today and are ready to share some memories that happened not too long ago. So jump in the time machine because we are going back three years to 2012.

"You may not know it, but Mr. Delivery USA is like a teenager about to enter it's early 20's. These are our best years!"
In the year 2012, our current Office/HR manager was just a college kid willing to rack on 6-12 hours a week of work on top of classes and such. When we partnered with what was then Campusfoods, no one had told us anything about was going on in the office. Literally on the first day, the fax machine started spitting out orders from customers, and our first instinct was to start making stacks of of them. (Data entries was relatively new back then)
The boss at the time had a gnarly beard that flowed down to his chest, and our training consisted of knowing that every ten orders, our system lagged 5 to 10 minutes. (That would be about 1/6 of our current order's time. Not the case now, just an FYI.) To top it off, we were processing your orders from a modest office in a "kind of abandoned" mall by the University of Texas.

Our office was small. If someone came in with a slice of Niki's Pizza with some parmesan on top, that person would probably be able to have one bite of it before the slice vanished. One of the unspoken rules: never a good idea to bring food in right before lunch - especially if it smelled good.
Because our office was small, we didn't have our own restrooms. We shared ones with other offices that required access codes to the ladies and mens. Often, we found ourselves stuck between a rock and a hard place when strangers asked if they could use the facilities. We had to turn them down because the leasing office wouldn't let us share the codes. (Sometimes, the strangers weren't too nice when denied them the codes)

Lets jump back to 2015.
Now, we have learned the ropes and work from a new office where we stay up late nights to studying order patterns and look for new ways to get your orders faster to your door.
We are young, full of fresh ideas, and each of us has a story that is more than worth hearing. So hold on, keep your arms, legs, and tacos inside the vehicle.. because its going to be a wild ride.
