Consumer restaurant delivery app from Seattle startup Runner that charged restaurants no commission fees.
Runner — Restaurant Delivery App is a consumer food delivery app operated by Seattle startup Runner for diners in King County, Washington. Customers browse local restaurants organized by cuisine and order directly through the app, paying a customer service fee of roughly 12 percent plus a delivery charge. Unlike major third-party delivery platforms, the app charged restaurants no fees, so businesses kept the full amount customers paid for their food.
The app's driver model let couriers set their own time-based wages rather than paying per delivery, with the company advertising potential earnings of up to 29 dollars per hour plus tips. A customized delivery function also allowed users to request other errand deliveries, such as picking up supplies from a hardware store, when a driver was available.
