If those are the actual operations, it appears like it would be very difficult to turn a profit. However, it does seem like there are plenty of good ways to make the operations more efficient once demand is high enough while still remaining light on assets like warehouses, trucks, etc.

Especially if they're moving to a yearly flat rate subscription to get people to make more frequent orders, I don't see how this can work. But I wish them the best of luck, it would be wonderful for them and their customers.
