A text-based lunch delivery service has launched in Boston
Restaurants like Bagelsaurus and Mei Mei By Design are already on board.
A new text-based lunch delivery service is trying to revolutionize Boston’s mid-day meal. Peach, which is currently in Seattle and San Diego, launched in Boston on Wednesday, according to a Facebook post.

Lunches from Mei Mei By Design, Punjabi Dhaba, Dorado Tacos, Avana Sushi, Commonwealth, Bagelsaurus, and others will be available through the new service, according to Boston Magazine.
The company connects these local restaurants with customers through text messages rather than an app, according to its website.
Every morning, users will receive an automated text with three different lunch options from the day’s participating restaurant. It includes a meat, vegetarian, and lite option, all priced between $9 and $12, that will be delivered to your office by 12:30 p.m., Boston reported. Tax, tip, and delivery are all included into the price, the service’s site states.
All users have to do to buy lunch is reply to the text “yes.’’ If uninterested, then they can ignore.
Peach is a Seattle-based startup that launched in 2014. The company received an $8 million investment from Madrona Venture Group and Vulcan Capital over the summer to expand to Boston, and then next to Washington, D.C., according to The New York Times.
