For those of you too lazy to hit the drive-thru (1 Viewer)

Short of having a mobile deep fryer I can't see fries being delivered tasting " fresh"
Mobile cooking seems like the way to go. Right now there are tons of food trucks in urban areas but the trucks just park in one place and serve to lunch people. Not sure if it would be cost-effective, but it seems like they could drive around and deliver freshly-made food.

Why is this a problem for you? Some of us actually live busy lives and don't have time to go to a drive-thru in the middle of the day.

Personally, I probably wouldn't order Burger King delivery, but lots of other restaurants deliver.

Ok, now maybe this is a little negative. Gunz, I'm having trouble discerning the larger point you're trying to make with this thread.
Americans are lazy pieces of ####. I have no problem with BK or any other fast food chain providing delivery services. I'm just disappointed that there is actually a market for it. As Tobias points out, this stuff doesn't even taste good 5 minutes after it's removed from the heat lamps, so people utilizing this service are getting bad food that is bad for them in a bad way (at least walking or getting off your couch to drive to BK requires some physical effort).
Mostly agree, but there's two potential clients you're forgetting about: pregnant women and weed smokers. From personal experience (one me, one my spouse, you can decide which is which) I know that both are prone to frequent fast food cravings and neither are in a hurry to run down the street or drive a couple miles or whatever.
So THAT'S why BK shows up on NRLC and NORML's political disclosures...

Ah, that explains why we failed to have an initial meeting of the minds here. "Lazy" is one of those words, sort of like "slut," which sounds bad but doesn't actually have negative connotations to me.

Good call - sort of like the good-humor trucks. But instead of the sing-song bells songs, the truck speaker blares "HEY HEY HEY"

It'd be pretty awesome if the delivery people had to show up at the door wearing outfits like that king costume they were using in the ads from a few years ago.

 
I think in 20 years, robots will be advanced enough to go out to burger king and get your food for you. Or perhaps burger king will have a robot that deliver your food to you. One idea I had in mind was that every home would have a small helipad on the roof or front yard or something. A domestic drone would land there with your products such as food or clothes from the department store. The drone could also deliver your mail to the post office, or stuff like that. The drone might be a small smart helicopter.In the future, this might alter cities themselves. You could work remotely. But with this you can even shop remotely and get your goods in a timely manner. You could live 50 miles out of town and still get a hot pizza delivered in 20 minutes. Why stay in the city at all?
I'm already working on a drone prototype which will intercept other people's drones mid-flight and take their stuff :thumbup:
You're investing resources into R&D drone technology so you can steal hamburgers? :mellow:

It's the natural order of things... man invents boats, then man invents pirates. Man invents banks, then man invents bank-robbers. Man invents email, then man invents Nigerian spammers. It's the circle of life.
 
Back when I lived in VA, there were a few companies (Waiter on the Way comes to mind) that you could order food from, they'd then order it from the restaurant, pick it up and deliver it to you. Pretty sure at least a couple of them did fast food restaurants as well.
Yea, I used to work for one of these companies after I graduated college (before going back to school). It was a great part time gig. Got there at 10:30 in the morning, and half the orders during the lunch hour were made by pharmaceutical reps. All orders over $50 were an automatic 10% tip. Would usually be done by 1:30 or 2 at the latest. I don't recall ever delivering from a fast food place though, just restaurants.

Forget drones. In the future, everything will be mechanized on an endless series of conveyor belts. You want something from Burger King? Just email your order and a robot at the restaurant puts the burger on a conveyor belt headed to your house. The belts move so fast that you get your order quicker than if you had driven to the restaurant yourself. It's like those moving sidewalks from The Jetsons but on a global scale.
...and yet 40 years later, we are still at least 100 years away from Jetson's technology...let get beyond using fossil fuel before we have Decepticons delivering our tacos.

Probably won't be very popular then unless they can get the food to the customer in store quality condition.

What about lazy sluts?
 
I like Domino's spokesman Tim McIntyre's response: "We wish them luck. There is a reason that not all pizza places deliver: It isn't easy."

You couldn't keep up with me on any of my days. Not that you have many fewer posts than I do.

It's hard to type posts on a smartphone while driving to a fast food restaurant.
Your I-phone doesn't take dictation? Besides, the nearest Burger King is 20 miles away from my US home. There is one close to my Mexican place but the service is horrible and the food makes US BK look gourmet.
 
Why anyone would want to live in a city is always unfathomable to me.
Yea, I cant imagine why anyone would want to be within walking distance to good restaurants and museums and live music and such.
I can go to the city if I want those things. Living there packed in apartments with a bunch of other people isn't for me. If it works for you, fine. But for me Green Acres is the place to be.

You're too lazy to get off the couch to drive-thru at BK, yet you want us to believe you'll go to the city for actual restaurants, museums, and music?

You do know that cities in the US have houses, right?

It's easy to move quickly when you're held aloft by hot air. :yes: ;)
 
I'll take two double cheeseburgers and a medium Dr. Pepper please. :thumbup:

 
i remember the ice cream trunk when i was a kid. win, win. :thumbup:
I think I had that same neighbor. Two hours locked in a truck for one lousy Drumstick?!?!? Sure, it was worth it the first few times, but it gets cramped in there after a while. Glad you enjoyed it though.

basically called the amazon drone delivery service a couple years in advance.

Nope. Beej all the way.

 
Burger Kings tests delivery service in VA and MD.

Bloomberg News-- Burger King Holdings Inc., the operator of 7,500 fast-food restaurants in the U.S. and Canada, is trying out delivery service at some stores in Virginia and Maryland as a possible way to boost sales.

“We are currently testing the service to bring this convenience to the U.S.,” Kristen Hauser, a spokeswoman for Burger King, said in an e-mail. The Miami-based chain will expand its test to 16 locations from four by Jan. 23, she said, declining to say whether the service will be offered nationwide.

Available from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., deliveries cost $2 and there is a minimum order of $8 to $10, depending on the market, according to Burger King’s website. The restaurant, whose rivals include McDonald’s Corp. and Wendy’s Co., is delivering meals such as 40-piece chicken tenders and two bottled drinks for $10.99 and four large sandwich combos for $23.99.

Customers can order online or via phone. Burger King doesn’t deliver fountain drinks, milkshakes, coffee and breakfast foods, Hauser said.
AMERICA #### YEAH!
I feel like there's a good joke in here somewhere.
