Revolutionizing Delivery
One Business at a Time
Founded in 2020, First Delivery was born from the frustration of watching great restaurants struggle with inefficient delivery operations. We're on a mission to level the playing field with enterprise-grade technology that's accessible to businesses of all sizes.
FIRST
Launched Habitat Logistics
In West Philadelphia, born and raised. We started as a fleet, partnering with restaurants where we spent our college days. Our pitch was simple, push a button, and we'll send a driver at a flat fee vs a hefty commission. Through this journey, we learned how hard delivery is first-hand, and developed our own robust software systems from scratch to make it easier.

Expanded to 10 Markets
Backed by Y Combinator and the same investors of industry giants like Uber and DoorDash, we expanded our reach to encompass ten markets. We formed strategic alliances with Eatstreet and Snackpass to propel us to reach new heights. Culminating in over a million deliveries accomplished through sheer grit and our proprietary delivery software.

COVID & Pivot to FIRST
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed a shift in the restaurant industry, where every restaurant became a delivery restaurant. This prompted us to introduce FIRST - an all-in-one delivery solution tailor-built for restaurants. We made our software accessible to any restaurant or fleet striving not just to survive, but to thrive in the evolving delivery landscape.
