991002 Food.com Offers Office Meals On LineOctober 1, 1999San Francisco, CA - Food.com, the Internet's premier takeout and delivery service, launched a new online service tailored to the needs of office workers and meeting planners who place large food orders. The Office Meals service is designed to provide a more convenient, accurate and reliable method of ordering takeout and delivery meals than the telephone. The service allows for larger food orders to be placed and, among other things, enables those ordering to include special instructions for each item, designate by name whom each item is for, and keep a record of orders online for up to six months for invoice tracking and easy reordering. "The office environment is a perfect place for Food.com to be," said Angela Wilson Gyetvan, vice president of marketing for Food.com. "Most office workers are online and have access to high speed connections, and can attest to the current difficulty in ordering food for large groups of people via the phone. Ordering via the Internet eliminates the chance for errors, expands the number of menu and restaurant options available, and makes special requests possible. Our goal is to provide office workers with all of the tools they need to regain control over the ordering process and to give more restaurants access to this huge market."
