Escoffiette Randwich Delivery Provides Random Meals to New Yorkers

— January 17, 2012 — Lifestyle
The Escoffiette Randwich Delivery service is perfect for people who like surprises. The term 'Randwich,' which happened to be coined by two employees at Etsy, is a combination of two words: random sandwich. It is basically a delivery service that provides surprise sandwiches. Since menus can be overwhelming and lunchtimes very short, Escoffiette Randwich Delivery takes the pressure off the customer.

Based in Brooklyn, Escoffiette Randwich Delivery services "anywhere accessible by the New York City subway system," according to its site. Also, because it are a startup, it must take orders two days in advance and will only accept payment through Paypal and Venmo. Nevertheless, the possibility of getting a sandwich like its five-spice meatballs with lavender béchamel may just be worth all the trouble, especially since its goal "is to research winning flavor combinations."
Trend Themes
1. Surprise Meal Delivery - There's a market for meal delivery services that offer unique and surprising meals as a way to break the monotony of regular meal planning.
2. Randomized Menu - Restaurants and meal delivery services could implement a randomized menu feature to add excitement and unpredictability to the dining experience.
3. Flavor Innovation - There's room for experimentation and research in the food industry to discover new and innovative flavor combinations, much like Escoffiette Randwich Delivery's goal.
Industry Implications
1. Meal Delivery Services - Meal delivery services can differentiate themselves by offering unique and surprising menu options that cater to customers who crave novelty and excitement in their meals.
2. Restaurants - Restaurants can attract customers by implementing randomized menu options that offer a different dining experience every time they visit.
3. Food Research and Development - Companies can invest in food research and development to discover new flavor combinations that will differentiate their products from their competitors and appeal to customers who value novelty and experimentation.
