Is anyone growing during these "crazy times"?

A lot of restaurants have to adapt to become delivery-first companies. My company is a delivery-only cookie service based in California. The concept is known as a Ghost kitchen.

We had the software and infrastructure already in place and haven't had to adapt so we've actually been growing during this crisis. We only operate out of a single kitchen and are are very close to making $100k this month.

I'm curious if any other IH'ers are doing well right now.

    Nice, congrats on the growth. I'd imagine it's good prospects for your future after the crisis, too.

    Out of curiosity, how is your experience with each of the delivery services?

      We haven’t used any delivery service. We do a delivery every 1-2 minutes in our peak hours and the delivery services wouldn’t be as easy to guarantee quality and coordinate orders at our volume. We’ll send drivers out with 3-4 different orders which I’m not sure I could do with doordash. They also take too much money.
      We built our own admin software to manage orders and deliveries.

    Your story is amazing! Someone in another community recommended I check you guys out. I lost my job due to COVID and started a cookie business myself. I can't wait to go down the rabbit hole of crave cookies and learn more about you guys!

    Tiff's treats, a Texas based cookie delivery business, has also reported a lot of growth. They've been around for a while.
    It's really amazing to have fresh cookies on demand.

    That’s sick dude. 100k mrr is amazing. Definitely goals.

    First of all congrats on the growth!
    Well, we did grow too!
    Our user jump 231% and session 132%.
    Well, we reached a total of 93 users this month!
    I know it's not a lot but hey, it's just over a month of starting out!

    I had an email from my favourite supplier of refurbed computers, and they sent an email saying be patient, we're busy, plenty of supply etc. If that is to believed the WFH equipment suppliers are doing well.

    If you consider deploying a tiny product ( openstartuplist.com ) as growing, then yes.
    It's just a matter of what you put your mind to doing.
