History
Waiter.com is considered the first online restaurant delivery service on the web;[4][5] it pioneered the concept of online restaurant ordering in 1995 when it offered meal options from 60 Silicon Valley partner restaurants, expanding to over 1,300 restaurants in 2017.[6][unreliable source?]
The first office was located in Los Altos,[7] but is now situated in Sunnyvale, California.[8]
Waiter.com serves multiple locations throughout the United States, including major cities like San Francisco, Dallas, Raleigh/Durham, Seattle, Austin, and Los Angeles.[9] In January 2020, Waiter.com expanded its service to Portland, Oregon through its acquisition of local delivery company Portland Pedal Power.[10]
