Drive Yello is revolutionising the way food is delivered and has just this month launched in Melbourne. Named by Fairfax as one of 13 Australian start-ups to watch this year, Drive Yello is a delivery management platform and market place with a difference, allowing vendors to outsource their delivery capability completely. Franchises, restaurants, chains, cafes and small food producers simply post delivery jobs and the Drive Yello team provide them with a reliable, trusted delivery driver on-demand. The platform allows vendors to search, hire, manage, track and pay drivers for either one-off deliveries or full shifts. As a result, businesses save significant time and money on managing deliveries internally. This month sees the launch of the business in Melbourne.
