DeliveryAndToGo.com and CEO Deliveries, Inc. Merge Companies to Become Delivery Wow

CHICAGO - May 9, 2014 - PRLog -- CEO Deliveries, Inc. of Chicago, IL and DeliveryAndToGo.com, a restaurant delivery service of Delicious Delivery, Inc. of Fort Lauderdale, FL announced that the two companies will merge and that the name of the merged company will change to Delivery Wow effective immediately.  Simultaneously, the restaurant delivery company unveiled a new website and identity, DeliveryWow.com.

The new restaurant delivery site prominently features partner restaurant delivery menus and makes it even easier for clients to place individual meal, party platter or drop-off catering orders for food delivery to their home, office or hotel.

Larry Neibauer, CEO - “In this challenging economy we are finding individuals and families working longer and harder and don’t have the time to cook and clean, they’re looking for convenience.  So we are seeing a shift to more and more online food delivery ordering and restaurant delivery consumption.  Because employers are expecting more out of employees it is not often anymore that you see a group go out for an hour or more to socialize for lunch.  Workers are being encouraged to gain productivity and eat in-house whenever possible.”

Scott Trachtenberg, President - “DeliveryAndToGo.com and Delicious Delivery, Inc. have built a solid reputation as one of the nation’s top restaurant delivery services over the past 18 years.  We want to ensure that our roadmap to the future includes an image and a name that accurately conveys what we do.  The company’s team, ownership, restaurant partners and our staunch commitment to delivering excellence have not changed.  Our new name, Delivery Wow, signifies an embrace of our historical competencies and emphasizes our core purpose and calling, ‘to wow’ the client.  The updated look and feel naturally lends itself to our development of the next generation of the restaurant delivery experience for our residential and corporate clientele.”

Neibauer and Trachtenberg point out that as the economy strengthens employers will have learned the hard lessons and will resist going back to their old ways as they continue to work to keep costs in line.  Both feel that this presents a tremendous opportunity in their space to become a nationally recognized brand.

Delivery Wow will operate as a subsidiary of Tastefully Delivered, Inc. under a DBA.  The company’s previous websites (DeliveryAndToGo.com & CEOdeliveries.com) will forward to the new site, DeliveryWow.com, as will all prior company email addresses.

About DeliveryAndToGo.com, A Service of Delicious Delivery, Inc.

Since 1995 DeliveryAndToGo.com (a service of Delicious Delivery, Inc.) has been the choice for restaurant delivery service in South Florida and the Orlando Metro Area with over 250 valued restaurant partners.  After 18 years of service, DeliveryAndToGo.com has proven its ability to deliver convenience, simplicity and choice to satisfied residential customers and corporate clientele.

After graduating from college in the early nineties, Scott Trachtenberg, the company’s founder, became intrigued by the idea of a new trend taking shape in the restaurant industry.  Driven by consumer demand, off-premise dining began to significantly increase.  Restaurant concepts started to introduce stronger takeout programs, but still lacked the ability to implement an equally robust delivery program.

Sensing an opportunity, Scott moved from the Northeast to South Florida and opened a restaurant delivery service.  Starting with six local restaurant establishments and an entrepreneurial spirit, DeliveryAndToGo.com (then Delicious Delivery) was born.  As demand for the concept grew and was adopted by consumers and restaurants alike, an effective and scalable business model evolved.  By reaching out to other burgeoning industry leaders, DeliveryAndToGo.com refined its operation by adopting and implementing best practices.  What began as a trend has quickly become a mainstay in American dining.
