You need money to open, to grow, or sometimes just to bridge a difficult stretch, and how you get it matters as much as how much you get.

Remember those awkward interactions with the pizza delivery person every Friday night? Fumbling for a cash tip while making small talk. That doesn’t exist anymore. Now, we have contactless delivery. 
Contactless delivery is a fulfillment method where orders are dropped off at a designated location, such as a front door, pickup shelf, or building entrance, without requiring any physical contact between the Dasher and the customer. 
The customer gets their order in a hands-free interaction from start to finish.
