Burpy Crowd Sources Food Delivery With Twilio SMS` The founders of Burpy, a crowd-sourced food delivery business, aimed to reduce wait times and refine the delivery workflow. They founded the company in 2012, primarily serving UT Austin students, with a unique SMS-based system for drivers that uses geo-targeting to allocate jobs to the closest driver. This approach automates communication with drivers, reducing response time. The company has expanded rapidly across several cities and is now focusing on finding reliable full-time drivers to serve customers at all hours.
