Work With People Who Value What You Do!

Hey, Derek Caffe here, CEO & Founder of UGottaEat.com.  Over the past week we've recently parted ways with one of our restaurant vendors and it got me to thinking about some sound business advice that I've heard several times over the years, "Work with people who value your services". Relationships in which you are not valued are toxic to not only you but, also the other party.

I must admit there are several occasions I've known where our services weren't valued and it wound up being an unpleasant experience for UGottaEat.com and the consumer. At UGottaEat.com we strive to provide you with reliable and remarkable service every time.  Here's a quick rundown of who we are not, so you can determine if we are right for you!:

UGottaEat.com is not Meals On Wheels:
We are not targeted towards the senior market. Sorry grandma and grandpa. UGottaEat.com is for busy professionals who need speedy & efficient catering or individual meal delivery to their place of work with a generous heaping of great customer service to make you look good.

UGottaEat.com is not the cheapest:
We've gotten calls where people want us to do the delivery for free or for $1.50 because someone else does delivery for that price.  I'll be the first to tell you, "Sorry bub, ain't happening!"  All UGottaEat.com drivers are independent drivers who use their own vehicles and gas.  They rely on your service fee and tip to cover vehicle maintenance and gas costs incurred while getting your food to you hot and fresh.

After all you know the saying, "You get what you pay for!".  We provide outstanding service at a reasonable price.  We're in a league of our own which is why we regularly provide catering delivery for local businesses such as V&M Star, Cohen & Co. MYCAP, Turning Technologies and many more.  You should trust us too!

UGottaEat.com is not new!:
This one's more for any potential restaurants who maybe glancing our blog.  UGottaEat.com has been operating for, at the time of this blog post, over two and a half years!  We're moving out of our spring chicken era and think it's bout time you sat down with us and see why such reputable restaurants such as Station Square, Kravitz Deli, Subway, Quaker Steak & Lube and more have stayed with us.

We have based our business model on successful catering and food delivery services nationwide and are the best at what we do, period!  Stop trying to hire cheap and crappy delivery services who say they can do your delivery and only manage to piss off you and your customers.  UGottaEat.com is here and definitely willing to talk with you.

With that off my shoulders, I'd like to wrap things up.  When you work with people who don't value or rather understand your value than you wind up spending valuable time putting out unnecessary fires and taking time from the people who do value and need your time.  Don't waste your time and happiness or the other person's.  Just say no and walk away.  If you're not appreciated then pack up and move on because there is always someone who will.  Any experiences of your own?  Comment below!  I wish you much success in both business and love.

All the Best,

Derek Caffe
