Toast
Toast is actually a restaurant technology sales company, selling point-of-sale systems that allow servers to input orders, print checks and more. Early in the pandemic, the company developed Toast TakeOut, which gives diners a delightful mobile ordering experience without disrupting … existing restaurant operations.
According to Toast s website, the company does not charge participating restaurants any additional software fees if they are already using the Toast Online Ordering product. Diners place their orders online, pay in advance, and pick up at the restaurant themselves. Toast promises a no hassle experience for both restaurants and diners.
Black and Mobile
Developed by twin brothers David and Aaron Cabello, Black and Mobile is the first delivery service that exclusively delivers food from Black-owned restaurants. Launched in February 2019, the service was barely a year old when the pandemic struck.

Black and Mobile, a Philadelphia-based food delivery app that specifically delivers meals from Black-owned restaurants, is expanding its reach.
Twin brothers
Aaron Cabello said they were inspired to launch the app following the 2016 election of
Donald Trump as President. At the time, they started working for popular delivery service apps like Uber Eats, Caviar, and PostMates, bringing in about $1,100 in a typical week.
They realized there weren’t any apps dedicated to Black-owned restaurants, and wanted to do something about it.
“At that point, I said if I can make this much money delivering food on a bicycle, how much can I make if I actually own the company,” David said in an interview.
