Lazy Diners Rejoice! DrEats.com Provides Food Fans with Ultimate Resource for Finding Local Restaurants That Deliver

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Whether you’re a delivery food connoisseur trying to find new restaurants or a student cramming into the night before a test and sick of the same old delivery joint, DrEats.com is the site you’ve been dreaming of. With nearly 200,000 listings and more than 20,000 actual menus in its nation-wide database, DrEats.com is one of the first websites devoted solely to highlighting restaurants that deliver or provide takeout. By simply entering a home or office address, visitors to DrEats.com are instantly presented with a detailed list of appropriate restaurants in their vicinity, as well as the establishments’ contact information for easy ordering. Complete menus are also viewable for a vast number of restaurants on the site.

“Frankly, we started DrEats.com in response to our own personal laziness,” said Melissa Nichols, co-founder, DrEats.com. “We would find websites that had menus, but there weren’t many listings and we wouldn’t know if we were even within their delivery radius. We created DrEats.com to be a comprehensive menu database, providing anyone who wants to order in with the perfect one-stop resource for information on nearby restaurants.”

In addition to viewing participating restaurants in their area, visitors also have the option of placing orders directly through the site’s Online Ordering System (OOS). After choosing their items and entering payment information, customers submit their orders and DrEats.com verifies the particulars, confirms the payment information and then sends the order to the restaurant for fulfillment.

Though national, the site stays close to its Las Vegas roots by highlighting more than 600 local restaurants that deliver or provide take out, including posting more than 200 complete menus.

DrEats.com has one of the most extensive delivery and take-out menu databases available. In addition, the site’s staff conducts endless searches for new restaurants to add to the database, and the site is updated daily. In addition to their own searches, DrEats.com also accepts outside support by encouraging the site’s users to send in a menu and their favorite establishment’s contact information. Interested parties can access the website for additional information.

For restaurant owners, DrEats.com provides a free resource for them to get their complete menu/contact information in front of both local residents and visitors alike; thus working in conjunction with their existing door-to-door marketing initiatives. The site’s user friendly layout provides a simple, uncluttered environment for easy browsing by anyone. In addition, payments made via the site’s OOS are sent to participating restaurants daily.

DrEats.com is live and can be accessed at www.dreats.com.
