Re: UKNM: Kozmo.com -- The new Blockbuster

[Duncan Clubb]

Er...

Lunch Online is one of mine and it no longer works - we did it three

years ago as an experiment but it failed to take off because the

sandwich bars involved all insisted on a �10 minimum order.  That meant

that you had to order at least two or three lunches at a time, which our

logs and feedback indicated was stopping most people from placing

orders, although the level of interest was extremely high.  The sandwich

shops were all recruited because they already offered a fax delivery

service, and that was where the min order amount came from.

Unfortunately, it proved to be too high for almost all of our users so

we stopped the service after a few months - the best laid plans...
