Delivering Catering Orders on DeliverThat with CEO Aaron Hoffman

Outside the big three on demand delivery companies, I'm not sure anyone else has reached into as many markets as catering specialist DeliverThat.

Aaron Hoffman joins us today to talk about DeliverThat and the opportunities available to delivery drivers.

How he started DeliverThat from his dorm room in college
Challenges of starting his first deliveries in a world dominated by large tech companies
Philosophy of being a company for drivers made by drivers
How DeliverThat can provide unmatched personal support for drivers
How was their delivery model impacted by COVID?
How Aaron sees the place DeliverThat can have for independent contractors who deliver for other platforms
Describing the delivery opportunities on catering orders
The type of markets DeliverThat is in and how they launch new markets
What does he see as the biggest challenge when using independent contractors?
What are the challenges to fulfilling all of their orders?
Thoughts on independent contractor status and where the country is going with that.

At the end, I share some thoughts on my takes as a DeliverThat catering contractor. Overall my experience has been positive. There are a couple of things about how they do things that may not be popular.

Overall, I think DeliverThat is a true gig economy opportunity. As contractors in the delivery space, we work delivery by delivery. Because they do catering orders, there can be some very attractive deliveries. Other times, options from other platforms may be better.

About the Author

Ron Walter made the move from business manager at a non-profit to full time gig economy delivery in 2018 to take advantage of the flexibility of self-employment. He applied his thirty years experience managing and owning small businesses to treat his independent contractor role as the business it is.

Realizing his experience could help other drivers, he founded EntreCourier.com to encourage delivery drivers to be the boss of their own gig economy business.

Ron has been quoted in several national outlets including Business Insider, the New York Times, CNN and Market Watch.
