I was considering ordering lunch through Foodler, and noticed these restaurants listed in the “American” section:
Moogy’s begins takeout at 11am.
Cafeteria Boston – via Meals on the Move. Never begins delivering.
Wing’s Express begins delivering at 11pm.
Hold it! Go back a step. “Never begins delivering?” And it’s not “takeout only” (like Moogy’s), it’s just “never begins delivering.” Period. Here’s the restaurant’s details page:
In fact, this seems to be true for every restaurant that Meals on the Move services, rendering its name somewhat inaccurate. Perhaps “Meals that Don’t Move Any More Than They Would if We Weren’t Involved” would suit them better.
I went straight to the Meals on the Move website to see if their site had more accurate information. Here’s how they describe Cafeteria Boston:
American, American, American, American, American, Italian, Italian, Italian, Italian, Italian, Burgers & Fries, Burgers & Fries, Burgers & Fries, Burgers & Fries, Burgers & Fries, Seafood, Seafood, Seafood, Seafood, Seafood, Bar & Grill, Bar & Grill, Bar & Grill, Bar & Grill, Bar & Grill, catering, catering, catering, catering, catering, Pizza, Pizza, Pizza, Pizza, Pizza, Organic, Organic, Organic, Organic, Organic, Corporate Catering, Corporate Catering, Corporate Catering, Corporate Catering, Corporate Catering, Pasta, Pasta, Pasta, Pasta, Pasta, Hamburgers, Hamburgers, Hamburgers, Hamburgers, Hamburgers, Salads, Salads, Salads, Salads, Salads, Chicken, Chicken, Chicken, Chicken, Chicken, Sandwiches, Sandwiches, Sandwiches, Sandwiches, Sandwiches, Bistro, Bistro, Bistro, Bistro, Bistro, Paninis, Paninis, Paninis, Paninis, Paninis
I believe the only valid response is: GROUP BY

Fortunately, Foodler has a nice little “X” button that will forever hide Meals on the Move from my listings.
Or select DISTINCT!
But just as important, their business model does not include delivery. Apparently, you have to go to the food, instead of the other way around. You know, it’s just crazy enough to work.
