I wonder is it just me or google search for "Caviar" returns their website at the first position, above the Wiki article for actual "caviar"?

For me, the Wiki article comes up first in both my logged in and incognito results.

Is that unusual? Depending on the size of the business, more people could be looking for the company than for Wikipedia information on caviar.

    The difference is most other food-delivery services tap into an already built-in delivery infrastructure.

Is this true? Seems like every modern food delivery company (DoorDash, et al) does this.

Seamless and GrubHub operate like that, they just bring an online interface (and easy management) to the store's pre-existing delivery employees.

Congrats to the Caviar team! My wife broke her leg two months ago and Caviar was a lifesaver to help us avoid the boredom and monotony of pizza and Chinese food every night.
