OrderAhead

OrderAhead was an on-demand logistics company that enabled people to order pickup and delivery take-out food from local merchants. OrderAhead was a Y Combinator Alum with a list of investors that include Adam D'Angelo (Founder of Quora, former CTO Facebook), Eric Schmidt (Chairman of Google, former CEO of Google), August Capital, Matrix Partners, and Menlo Ventures.[1][2]

OrderAhead was founded in August 2011 by Jeff Byun, and Henry Lee; who resigned in September 2013.[3][4]

The OrderAhead app initially offered customers a way to preorder Philz Coffee.[5] Currently, OrderAhead operates in 5 major cities in the US and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.[6]

As of July 9th, 2016 OrderAhead no longer offers delivery. Pickup options are still available on the platform, however. The service was later acquired by Square Inc. and now redirects to Caviar, the company's meal delivery service.
