A group of entrepreneurs in the Canadian capital city of Ottawa have launched a new food delivery app that is designed to place a high priority on ethics and solidarity with local businesses and customers alike by increasing transparency and providing easy-to-understand fees.
The 'Getit Local' app, available for download on the iOS App Store and Google Play, provides the convenience of conventional food delivery apps with the added appeal of flat delivery fees devoid of any extra hidden charges. With drivers keeping 100 per cent of their tips and paid fairly, you can rest assured knowing that your dinner didn't come at the cost of someone else's labour rights.
What's more, the Getit Local food delivery app deploys an affordable price model for restaurants, making this a great example of how app-based services can be used to boost local economies in the restaurant sector.
