Great Opportunity If You're Willing to Work Hard I started working with TIme To Eat a little over a year ago. I would not have been able to start my delivery business without them. Their team is responsive, helpful and professional. Starting a business is never easy, and my journey hasn't been easy. I didn't expect it to be. I feel too many people pay TTE their fee and think a business will magically grow with little or no effort on their own part. TTE gives you the tools and a roadmap, but you have to choose to use those tools and follow their path or do it your own way. Every market is different, and an entrepreneur needs to be flexible and able to make decisions that will work for their unique situation. One should not expect TTE to hold all the answers in their hands. I didn't follow everything TTE told me. I started down their path, and when I met with restaurant after restaurant, I learned their needs and started doing things differently to accommodate them. A business owner must be 100% accountable for their business. When I read reviews blaming TTE about their own failures, it is clear to me the real reason they fail is lack of accountability. Time to Eat points you in the right direction. You have to bust your butt to ensure you arrive at your destination. If you're not willing to work hard, don't sign up with TTE. Don't start your own business. Continue being an employee and procrastinating on someone else's dime.

This business is NOT turn key and it… This business is NOT turn key and it takes ALOT of work to make a little bit of money. Time to Eat Delivery does not know how to run a delivery service but they actively sell the business model. This is not the first time Desiree Malek has sold this model. Buy nothing from her, she's a con-artist. She has sold this failing model under a different name before and closed it when the pressure got too much. The owner of the business does not even operate a delivery service herself. They are closing their doors AGAIN! The dispatch team is awful. Drivers have to go through hell with the dispatch team to get an order. This business does not work well. Sure you will make money...less than $10 after fighting with dispatch for an hour or two. What a waste of time and money. ALOT of Money gone. If you want to get into delivery, work directly with a dispatch team. Do not buy it through a business like Time to Eat. You will be throwing money away.

I am so frustrated and dissatisfied this was a bad investment. First off, I think the Training and Customer service for Time To Eat Delivery is excellent. Now Deliver Logic, the Software company not that great. I have already been a business owner, know the tax laws and payroll laws, and did my homework on the delivery business. I did make them change the Employee Hand Book to read "Contractors Hand Book" and change the verbiage in the handbook because I am giving drivers 1099's; they can't be employees. TTE employees respond fast and try to help the best they can, but I don't think any of these TTE employees have run a business before. They think all you need to do is work hard. Yes, that does help, but that is not the only factor. I busted my butt to get restaurants to sign up for me. I spent $$$$ in advertising to get customers to use my app. Now, after over a year in business, I don't think the company overall can make enough money to live on; it will take a long time to make a salary like 13 years. I bought the company for $55K and invested $100K in advertising, employees such as a Marking professional $2,000 salary a month that worked part-time, and an IT installer of tablets or hooked up Chowly for $18 per hour as needed bases about $400 a month. It is tough to get restaurants to trust and sign up with you and to stay with you. If you do not bring in business, they get rid of you in a month and turn off your tablet. I only get orders through Google Food Orders. No one orders from my Time to Eat App. So if the company doesn't use Google Food Orders, then I can't do business with them. I even offered free delivery to my customers for a year to the first 100 people that signed up. No customers nowadays order from apps. I ask customers how they ordered, and they just say "Through Google! I don't want to deal with any apps." Door dash and Uber have the same problem. Maybe 3% of their customer order from their apps. Everyone in my area of California orders from GFO (aka Google), which is off Google. They Google the restaurant and click Order Online. Another thing is I don't get enough delivery orders now that Covid is not a big deal. I do get Walk-in orders, but Delivery Logic, the App company, will not let me markup Walk-in orders. How Delivery Logic can dictate how I can run my business is mind-blowing, but they can because you use their dispatch services and software and App. They can tell you what you can charge and who you can sign up on your website. This isn't fair I still get charged for it running through my business. After Google takes 10%, partnered restaurants take their percent; and Deliver Logic takes their percent, credit card companies that their percent. I might have 6% money to work with to pay bills. I had to pay a good driver stand-by to pay $150 a week for sitting around doing nothing to keep a driver in an area I was not close to myself to do the driving and to keep his App on. Now, I have it farmed out to Uber or Doordash and no longer have drivers because I couldn't afford to pay stand-by and the monthly bills. I don't have time to keep hiring drivers because I don't have but a few deliveries a night. Overhead is not taught in the training package. There are bills like mailboxes, licenses, Insurance, and Credit cards for office supplies and meals for eating at the restaurant you are hoping to get business to have a meeting, and paying me a little salary is a joke! I am afraid trying to get my $155k back will not happen unless I bust my butt for the next 20 years. I just ran my first full year with TTE, and my financial statement says $5,500 positive for 12 months. This is inaccurate because the darn report doesn't have overhead costs. So I have to use another Accounting software to do my accounting. It is more like negative $150k. I calculated it out, and you will need over 1000 restaurants to make $50K a year, but this doesn't count your overhead cost. Overhead Cost: Gas, any driver's bonus, mailbox, Insurance, license, accountant fees, and your salary. I busted my ass and only got 90 restaurants to put their faith in me. I won't give up because I might have to go to other rural areas that Doordash and Uber don't go to as much. It might take me 13 years to get 1000 restaurants, that is what I calculated, and make $65k and under 20 years to get my $150k back. My only problem is I have to be the darn driver or ask the family if they can help. It's tough when you need to make $$$ and a living, but you only get $400 a month to work with. How do you do this and a job? I am not satisfied at all with my investment. The competition is too great, and customers are too dumb to use the App and get free delivery. Thank God, or I have a bigger loss. The biggest problem is everyone has their hand out, taking my little 10% that I charge the restaurant and the 10% I charge the customer. I mean mainly the Delivery Logic and Google!

Thank You Time To Eat Delivery I came across Time To Eat searching for a business I could start that would help others myself and my community , I don't have a dime to lose so I did my research and found Time To Eat to be a reputable company! So I got my cash together and here I am on this new journey in life and I just want to say" Thank You Time To Eat Delivery for amazing service and your knowledgeable staff that I now call family I have learned so much from the training modules and the zoom training meetings and I am eternally grateful for the keys you have given me to run a successful delivery business. The whole team has been so very accommodating and always there when I need help. May 9th I had the opportunity to go to the home office, meet the staff and do some training ,they are young geniuses! I was so impressed with their expertise , professionalism friendliness I did not want to leave ! My representative came down to form restaurant partnerships for me this past week so I went with him to learn all that I could learn, by day 2 I was able to walk in a restaurant and form a partnership with what I learned from my rep! I was bursting with excitement! I will be doing my soft launch soon it is more like a test drive where friends and family place orders so we can check for glitches and make sure all of my software is working properly before the full launch which I am grateful for because it gives us the opportunity to fix anything that needs to be fixed! I want to thank Desiree Malek Crouse she has a heart of gold ! and goes out her way to assure your success ! I want to thank the whole family team for all their dedication and hard work!

Don't recommend Time To Eat is I highly priced, highly overhyped business opportunity. I paid over $50,000 for this business opportunity. The training, which done largely by tutorial videos, many of which were outdated. They claim that this business runs itself. This could not be farther from the truth. I've been working this business since October 2021. My best week was 55 deliveries. There is no way that 55 deliveries per week will turn a profit. I knew going into this that I had a lack of business expertise and that it would not be easy. I figured since TTE would there to support me, that I would be in good hands. When I called for support and advice, all I got was smoke blown where the sun doesn't shine. I was told by a staff member that after 3 months that 30 deliveries a week was great. I didn't want a cheerleader, I wanted actual advice. Luckily I found a great support group via Facebook which has been very helpful in getting my business off the ground. So if you want to know how to start a SUCCESSFUL restaurant delivery business,do NOT go with Time To Eat. There are much cheaper options, and you can get better support elsewhere. If I could give less than one star, I would.
