They already do have a portion of the business that does that. I worked for them for a few weeks in London as a way to get paid to work out. There was a sort of container warehouse in Battersea - basically food trucks that you're ordering from. You might also appreciate this: > I Sold Microwave Meals On Deliveroo [VIDEO]
