Delivery.com Partners with Verizon FiOS as Exclusive Local Food Ordering Service
Partnership allows Verizon FiOS subscribers to order food through televisions
NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Delivery.com, a comprehensive local e-commerce platform, today announced a partnership with Verizon FiOS to be the exclusive local food ordering service in major markets including New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. The partnership will provide Verizon FiOS customers the ability to order food from Delivery.com's network of local restaurants through their televisions using Verizon's Concierge widget. The Verizon Concierge widget, created by mobile app developer Simplikate, is part of Verizon's Concierge service, a fully integrated, technology platform that caters to today's digital home lifestyle.
FiOS customers can order food by clicking on the "Widgets" button on their FiOS TV remote control, selecting "FiOS TV Widgets" and selecting the Food Delivery icon under the "Shopping" and "Concierge" categories. By selecting "Food Delivery" on their television, users will gain access to Delivery.com's local restaurants through which they can order an array of cuisines by browsing available items and adding them to a cart for purchase. The local restaurant is notified, the food is delivered and Delivery.com charges the credit card associated with the user's Verizon Concierge account for the order.
"Delivery.com is at the forefront of the rapidly expanding hyperlocal e-commerce market," said Delivery.com CEO Jed Kleckner. "We believe technology must meet the demands for convenience that people have come to expect in their everyday lives, which is why offering our service with Verizon FiOS is a natural progression for us."
The online service recently unveiled several new technology features, including enhancements to Delivery.com Office, Group Ordering, and an iPhone app. With the addition of this new partnership, Delivery.com users have all they need to order food or other goods when and where they want - in their office or group environment, on the go, and now from their television.
