Local cookie delivery service
A city-based dessert delivery business that ships freshly baked cookies to customers' doors on demand.
The idea, in plain language
A Portland-based delivery service that ships freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to local customers, started after the founder had a late-night cookie craving. Money is made by baking cookies and charging customers per delivery. Operations require baking equipment, food handling compliance, and a delivery setup; no revenue or pricing figures are quoted in the episode.
Where the sources agree
