Slightly different business model:
Airport food is mediocre and overpriced. So you build a website so people can order off-airport food and have it delivered. You team with a nearby restaurant, run a van back and forth, send delivery people with bags of food to designated waiting areas.
The airport authorities won't like it though.
- mdanger 14y agoIs this really feasible? I don't fly a lot, but the last time I was at an airport, the only areas that invited you to sit down/have a meal were on the far side of the TSA checkpoint, etc.
- pavel_lishin 14y agoRandom terrible brainstorm idea: purchase the cheapest available airplane ticket for your delivery person for late in the evening. They can now pass through airport security. Obvious problem #1 is that ordering drinks is now impossible, but what does a delivery service offer that in-airport restaurants don't? Another obvious problem is that the TSA agent may arbitrarily claim that you can't bring in X pounds of food, all pre-packaged, into the airport - especially since it rapidly becomes obvious that you're handing it to a total stranger.

- saryant 14y agoDepends on the airport. The new terminals at IAH have some pretty good restaurants. I'm partial to the Terminal C-South wine bar.
