About Mealz On Wheelz
SOUTH DAYTONA -- A slowdown in the housing market in Michigan prompted title-insurance specialist Starlene McClure to move to Florida a year ago and set up the same kind of business here.
But the market here proved to be just as challenging, especially for someone new to the area, McClure said.
So she and engineer Michael Dillon, who also was looking for a career change, decided to try something new together.
A meeting of two entrepreneurs through mutual friends resulted in Mealz on Wheelz, a delivery service for restaurants that don't deliver.
The firm, based on Beville Road, offers deliveries to homes and businesses from Ormond-by-the-Sea to Port Orange and up to five miles west of Interstate 95.
"Our logo is cool and fresh. Many of our clients understand our business because of this brand." McClure said, adding their company is strictly a for-profit operation.
Along with the cost of the food, McClure's clients pay a $4.95 delivery fee for each order that is delivered. Gratuities are extra. Deliveries are available between 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. daily.
The company delivers for about a dozen eateries, including R.J. Gators, Scott's Crab Shack, Jerry's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria, Yuki Hana Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar, Greg's Steak & Shrimp, Grand Asian Buffet, Larry's Giant Subs in Ormond Beach, Casa Turano's Little Italy, Inlet Harbor and Famous Philly's Beef and Beer.
McClure said her firm uses independent contractors to make the deliveries. "They must be bonded and insured," she said, adding they run background checks on all drivers. So far, she has 11 drivers.
