From Texas to Mexico: A Quick Delivery Tale

Last December 11, 2010 we had our Mommy Bloggers Christmas party with a Wild Wild West theme. And last Saturday,we had a small get together with Mexican food from Agave Mexican Cantina. I was privileged to try Agave food courtesy of Quick Delivery.

Quick Delivery (QD) is a company that offers delivery service from over 125 restaurants to consumers. Imagine 120 plus restaurants with just one delivery number: 2121212. You can even order anytime of the day (but of course it depends on the schedule of the restaurant you want to order). Can even order online. The best part about this, you can order in advance!

Me and my friends were able to experience the Group Order System (GOS) (link to site). Let me tell you, this system rocks! So here’s the story:

My two helpers were on vacation and I only have my sister to help me. My friends are coming over and I can only cook some dishes but not enough to accommodate our appetite (mwahaha). Timely, Quick Delivery’s Group Order System (GOS) was introduced to me. So I tried GOS to order our food. All I did was to create an account and order for group then add my friends name on it. They were notified and was asked to input their orders, then I finalize our orders and come Saturday, we were munching on true Mexican dishes.. yum yum yum

Here’s a clearer and a step by step guide on how to use Group Order System (GOS) (screencaps)

First Create an account at Quick Delivery and then log in using your log in information.

On the homepage, click the GROUP option. And then you will be asked to enter the email address and name of your friends:

You can do that by ADDING a new Colleague..select CONTINUE and choose your restaurant and choose the date where you want it to be delivered:

then select your menu:

After choosing your menu (don’t worry you can edit it).. press Continue and edit your options:

Finalize your order and an email will be sent to your friends. As you can see, you can edit the amount each one will spend or you can have the option where each of you will pay for each order.You will also need to set the cut off time for you order. Once the order is closed, expect a call from QD representative to confirm your order.

Our orders was finalized days before the get together and I set it to be delivered at 12 noon. I got a call some minutes after finalizing the orders. Unfortunately, the driver was lost along the way and arrived late. It always happen as people confuse our Barangay (Sta Lucia) to Sta Lucia in the east. I let it pass but I hope their drivers would be more familiar with the Barangays (specially if it is an advance order). Good thing though that the type of food we ordered were not heat sensitive (like Pizza or ice cream).

We ordered Chips and Salsa, Mexican Platter and Agave Baby Back Ribs. Of all the food, I enjoyed Baby Back Ribs the most.. and will be ordering this one soon!

I wish we had known about Quick Delivery’s Group Order System (GOS) before our Christmas Party. It was a perfect system for group ordering. No need to ask around what your friends want to order and the advance order system makes your food ordering hassle free. I highly recommend Quick Delivery, give it a try and enjoy the benefits of Ordering QUICK!
