N.S. food delivery startup offers restaurants lower fees

HALIFAX – Delivery was never on the menu at restaurateur Craig Flinn’s neighbourhood eateries.Even when spring lockdowns shuttered restaurants and forced diners to stay home, the chef and proprietor of Two Doors Down offered only curbside pickup, rejecting the sky-high fees charged by food-service delivery companies.

“I flat-out refused,” says Flinn, who has two locations in Halifax and Dartmouth. “When you don’t have dine-in and then all your business would be reduced by 25 or 30 per cent, it’s completely unsustainable.”
