I deliver pizza and Super Bowl Sunday is an odd shift. I don't work Sundays but I used to work the pre game rush on SB days. We get several timed orders, people want their food right at 6:30. We are busy as **** up to kickoff, then once the game starts business dies off. Most days the business is more spread out through the night.

Tips aren't really any better on game day, but at my store tips are pretty good anyway. Big $$$ orders do tend to tip higher. My store caters to drunk people as we are open until 3 or 4 am depending what night it is, and after midnight is when I make the best money.



I just grabbed this pic online which is why the main phone number is from Virginia. The guy who started CV had a buddy from there who wanted a franchise, so there you go. Most of our stores are in the Dayton area, and we like to be near colleges because college kids like to drink beer and eat pizza. That's not even all of our locations, we have 16 stores I think.

So can you deliver to Texas in 30 minutes or less?

Ok, I'll be lenient since it is a big day. Is 45 minutes asking too much?
