So... they opened a delivery restaurant with its own app?

Let me save you some time:

In the end they ditched their "sharing" economy model of food production and delivery, rented a kitchen and hired staff, and became a delivery service with a teeny tiny menu.

It may be successful; the model is as old as civilization and the market allows for new entrants. But it's not easy.

Oh god, as I read through it I kind of just started laughing to myself. They opened a chain restaurant -- surely VC-money worthy.

Please change the title to something else.

You know, in the real world, the dreaded F-Word is used by just about anyone who's not deeply religious.. and even they might sometimes fail to censor themselves before saying it.

The title gives no indication what the article is about, that's the real problem.
