Minnesota Restaurant Offers Snowmobile Lake Delivery
Sometimes you have to be creative during the Pandemic to keep your business going, that s what Greg James did.
Greg James owns the Iron Tap which is a couple of blocks from Lake Waconia. He noticed there were over 1500 ice fishing houses. Those people could be customers. The dilemma, how to get the food to them, someone has to know the lake well, but it could take a fair amount of time to get to them.
He searched the internet and found battery-powered delivery bags, so now he could deliver the food hot. As big as the lake is he still had to get someone that knew that lake, but sometimes when people describe where they are, they might not know where they are by the landmarks like the delivery person.

Thanks to some pandemic creativity, a restaurant in Waconia, Minnesota is now trying something uniquely Minnesotan: delivering food and beer via snowmobile across frozen Lake Waconia.
This has to be a first in the annals of food delivery: getting your grub in an ice house via snowmobile.
That s the new business model being tried out at Iron Tap, a Waconia bar and grill situated right near the shores of the city s namesake lake.
The snowmobile delivery service officially launched on Thursday, according to this very Dumb & Dumber -themed announcement:
As the video makes clear, Iron Tap will deliver not only food, but also beer to Lake Waconia ice houses.
If you happen to be out on the lake anytime soon and work up an appetite, here s the delivery times and instructions:
