In 2019, Urias-Roy and her husband started URATX, a delivery service based in Austin that uses independent contractors for large food deliveries, such as catering orders.
The problem these stores had was that they were getting a lot of business orders, but drivers weren't equipped to handle it.
That basically allowed me to start a delivery business instead of working as a contractor for the big apps or local delivery services.
It's lower now though because we recently lost our biggest partnership with a major catering delivery company.
AdvertisementAnd so the best thing about it is that I don't have drivers confronting restaurants about tips, I don't have drivers confronting clients begging for tips.
