I've used it for work but the cost ended up being like 30% higher than just going and getting it myself.

Was the convenience worth the price?

When my wife was laid up with two broken wrists and depending on me for sustenance and housekeeping, someone made the thoughtful and generous gift of delivered meals through 742-DINE. They were prompt, the food was hot and the price included a tip. It sure worked well in that circumstance.

Used it dozens of times. Quick and reasonable. Great for anyone sick and sick of pizza!
Great Menu books too.

Is 742-dine the only company of its kind?

Yes, I've lived in other cities where there were more, I don't believe we have the population density to support more than one of these in Tulsa.

How do they make there money? The delivery charge can't be enough.

I've use them when my daughter was born and my wife and I were traped in the house for 2 weeks. It was nice. You can look at all of the menu's online and they are very quick!

I am going to use it, as soon as I have decided where I want the food delivered from: so many interesting choices!

Not the one time I tried. I found out that on top of the delivery fee, they were charging a dollar or more per item on our order over in-store menu price. $50 worth of food ran about $80. It was only being delivered about 8 blocks away.

I am good friends with the owner of 742-dine.
She has a great volume of business, partly because her service is very reliable.

I've used it often, and for me it is worth the cost. It was an especially wonderful treat after I delivered my second baby and was still in the hospital. The service has always been good and the food is always hot.

They make money because they probably get a percentage of the price of the food. That's usually how those deals work.
