Their business idea came when they realized the need for an efficient online ordering and delivery service for busy families and workers.
They realized that this type of business would give busy workers and families more time to do their daily tasks. They both left their jobs and began working on this idea. They launched the business in the city of Saskatoon where they lived in Canada.
