Here's how it works… Once 50 users in your office create a
peachd.com online account, we'll begin delivering. Users receive a daily SMS text at 9:30AM with a "Dish of the Day," sourced from popular local restaurants. When your order is placed before the 11AM cut-off time, food arrives at your office or school between 12-12:30PM.
