Precocious Food Delivery Services

The Fluc Delivery Service Takes Food Orders 365 Days in Advance

— January 27, 2014 — Lifestyle

Ahmad of Fluc further adds, "we hope to make it really easy for people with demanding schedules to be able to eat well and on time. In addition, we hope to significantly increase revenues for hundreds of big and small restaurants, and we will be able to tell them what to expect so they can project."
