No.
The Chinese place on the corner of Vienna and California used to deliver when I was going to Tech. Not sure if they still do. I think it had to be a certain dollar amount, but they'd deliver on and around campus.
Have no clue how this place is. I've seen the ad on top of a cab in town. http://www.yourfood2go.com/
Seems like the cab company picks up and delivers for you.
There is actually a company that delivers food from selected restaurants in Ruston.

I met Jon several months ago. Several conversations with the guy. Seemed like he would do a good job. I would trust him to bring me a meal.
Tried this out tonight. 5 stars. Delivery was about an hour, which is about what I would expect (it was around 7ish). Never leaving my house again.Originally Posted by Avi8r

So tell us about it. How much did the delivery service add to the cost of the food?
I saw a business card in FineLine for a similar service: "Dine-1-1". I don't think they have a website though, it was just a phone number or two. I didn't try it out so I can't comment any further than that.
Trying to remember the original cost, but I think it was about $5 or so. Not bad at all.
I use Chef Taxi here in Monroe, and I have no complaints. They tell you up front to expect an hour wait, and they have not eclipsed that time in the 5 or 6 times I've used them so far. They charge $5.99 for the delivery service which doesn't go to the driver, so tips are encouraged at the standard 15-20% rate, same as a pizza driver. Being a veteran of Johnny's myself, I tip extremely graciously as I know that using their own gas and vehicle can and does incur high expenses down the road.
I use it when I either (A) don't feel like cooking on a Saturday/Sunday night, (B) want something in particular I can order through them, but am tied up with something else, (C) have already started drinking for the evening which led to A, or (D) all of the above.
No, that is very reasonable, and I can see where it would come in handy.
I remember fondly the late nights of ordering a muffaletta sandwich from Pisa Pizza or Cushino's and getting it delivered to Caruthers Dorm. Wrapped in aluminum foil, it would arrive piping hot. I would eat a whole sandwich. (That was when I weighed 140-something.)
Boy what a racket. Charge 5-10 dollars to deliver food some one else makes and then don't pay your delivery driver. What the hell is the 5-10 dollars for?
The service makes arrangements with various eateries and drivers. Nobody said they don't pay the delivery drivers, just that then entire service fee does not go to the drivers.
