Not sure if you're serious, but I'll bite. It's a grocery store (typically one of the big 'real world' ones) that also takes complete orders online and delivers

  I'm in rural North America so that's a pretty amazing concept. Thanks. So this article is saying people can order the ingriedidnts for a single meal and have them delivered that day? That would definitely put him out of business huh?

    Most of the online supermarkets in the UK have a minimum delivery spend, which means you wouldn't really be able to do that (unless your idea of a single meal involves lobster and champagne). From what I can tell, Dinnr didn't seem like a bad idea - I know a lot of people in London who really care about food, really enjoy making it themselves, and get excited about anything to which they can attach words like "artisanal"... and many of them don't really care much about the cost. Shame it didn't work out, really.

    Even in England, the population isn't dense enough except in, say, London to support same day grocery deliveries, it's usually the next day, with a minimum spend (not much though), and often a charge of £1-£5 depending on time of day. The problem with London, however, is that even compared to other large world cities, the density of food stores is so high that it's easy to get ingredients.. and the sort of people who are active enough to cook their own food are also the sort who'd be happy to pop out for five minutes for ingredients they can touch and feel first.
