Fluc: New Food Delivery Service in Menlo Park and Palo Alto

If you live or work in the Menlo Park and Palo Alto area then here's a heads up for you. There's a new food delivery service called Fluc in town that allows customers to pick and choose all their favorite foods and have them delivered for a small fee.

According to Techcrunch, Fluc founders are Tim Davis, Adam Ahmad, and Pako Magdaleno. The team came up with the idea when they were all living together in a hacker house in Palo Alto. Since none of them really cooked and bought take out on a regular basis, they started to think about what they would want out of a food delivery service.

Unlike services such as Seamless or Grubhub, it doesn't start out work directly with the restaurants themselves, so the team is inputting menu options on its site and app, according to the report. Fluc is currently in talks with local businesses about the service as a way for them to provide delivery without paying for a "delivery guy".

Fluc charges a $5.95 flat rate for each delivery, and has inflated prices of menu items slightly within the app - about 5-10 percent to make a small margin on those sales.
