GoWaiter.com owner Patrick Kennedy delivers this order to the doorstep at Three Oaks Apartments in 38 minutes.

The local community has a new option for eating their favorite food items from local restaurants by having them delivered right to their doors.

GoWaiter has been around for 10 years and has successfully opened services in areas such as Kuwait, Canada, and all over the United States.

Local owner Patrick Kennedy was excited to open up a GoWaiter service in Valdosta while its grand opening was held on Thursday afternoon.

Q: Where did the idea of GoWaiter.com stem from?

A: Mike Handy, president of GoWaiter.com, spent more than 10 years in food service and worked with restaurant delivery services. He launched GoWaiter nearly two years ago using his experience, past challenges and new ideas to the GoWaiter brand.

Mike believes the holistic approach to GoWaiter.com is what makes it work. Each small business franchise owner is entrenched in the local community. As the business grows, so does their local economy by putting money back into their community.

Q: What is GoWaiter.com?

A: A web portal where customers in all states and locations can log on, view the menu of each participating restaurant and order directly online.

Q: What can the community expect from these services?

A: There are more than a dozen partner restaurants from sandwiches to steaks. Our drivers are focused on delivering quality food in a reasonable amount of time and at a fair price.

Q: Is there an additional cost to use the services?

A: The only fee is for delivery.
