Overview
Ah burritos. Like hugs you can eat. And if you're lucky, you'll soon be able to get them delivered right to your door quicksmart. Danny Burrito is a Sydney-based startup currently looking to raise money via a crowdfunding campaign. Their business? Burritos on demand. How has nobody thought of this before?
According to the Danny Burrito Pozible page, Sydney CBD customers will be able to order their burritos via a mobile app, at which point one of Danny's numerous satellite kitchens will get busy cooking. Your burrito will then be delivered to you via bicycle courier, arriving in a specially-made burrito canister designed to keep your food hot and intact. The process shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, and you'll be able to track the whole thing via GPS. Basically, it's Uber for burritos, and it might be the greatest idea in the history of the world. Move over, 'the wheel'.
At the time of writing, Danny Burrito has raised just under $2900, leaving them with two weeks to get to their target of $10,000. A $10 donation will get you a free burrito once the business gets off the ground, while for $50 they'll let you submit your own recipe for their burrito of the month and give you the naming rights — thus fulfilling what we can only assume is everyone's lifelong goal of having a Mexican dish named after them.
But the real value comes once you break into triple digits. For $100, you get free burritos for a month, and for $1000, a whole year. And while that may sound like a lot of money, it's actually less than a dollar a day — assuming you eat burritos for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which sounds like a totally reasonable proposition to us. All money raised will go to covering Danny's upfront costs, including delivery bikes, licensing, website development, branding and package manufacturing.
