I'm curious as to what your turnaround time from order to delivery is?

We actually tried something pretty similar last year here in Portland (the site is still alive at www.localplate.com although we have ceased operations), we found it pretty challenging just to get people to plan ahead far enough for our offering to be viable. (We came across some consumer research that something like 70% of households don't have a plan for dinner until sometime the same day.)

We eventually tried distribution through existing retail channels which definitely helped with the traction side but made the economics pretty challenging. :)

Best of luck though, it's an interesting space with a lot of people attacking it from different directions right now.
