“I think we had like grocery delivery, expanding the eCommerce store into more school supplies type stuff, and the food delivery,” Walls said. If I want to bring on a partner or something, that’s usually a pretty good resource for finding someone to work with.”Įarly on in the process, Walls met with some friends, where they tossed around a couple business ideas, debating on what would be the most beneficial for both the society and for themselves. “If I have a technical kind of question, I can just ask them or just if I need some help. It’s always been a useful tool,” Walls said. There’s just so many people working together (there) that are aspiring to do something. “I think the biggest resource I had with this would be the student organization, which would be IEEE ACM. When brainstorming ideas to start Cosmic Delivery, UGA student organizations, such as ACM and IEEE, were a huge help. I don’t want to split my time with too many different business ideas.” “I shut that down when I started Cosmic Delivery. I didn’t have that support team with me as far as other founders do to encourage me to keep growing it, so that kind of stagnated,” Walls said. “Once I got into college, (the eCommerce store) kind of stopped growing just because I didn’t put enough time into it. Then later as a high school senior, he opened an eCommerce store, which he closed last year. He ran two business websites, however, they did not collect revenue one was an eCommerce website, and the other was a game sharing site. Walls has been creating his own self-employed businesses since as early as middle school. Walls originally had the idea to serve fresh food to customers placing orders online in early January of this year. Trent Walls, a fourth year University of Georgia student majoring in Computer Science and Engineering, is the founder of Cosmic Delivery. Cosmic Delivery is collaborating with 13 different restaurants, mainly centered around Downtown, Athens.Some of the restaurants include Zombie Coffee & Donuts, A-OK Cafe, 180 Degree Cafe, and Pita Pit. If you're just looking to pick up a few bucks here and there this kind of job is great but if you're going to be wholly dependant on it for subsistence be aware that it can be difficult at times to get all the hours you want, especially when the town dies down during summer.Cosmic Delivery, an online food-serving platform, officially began its deliveries four months ago. Also, as with any delivery job, there's going to be a lot of wear and tear on your car and maintenance can be costly, not to mention it will devalue your vehicle. First and foremost the current cost of gas is really going to cut into your pay. I've delivered pizza for a couple major chains and I'd choose cosmic over them 100%, especially because you don't have to deal with all the corporate bullshit.Īll that said, there are some issues to consider.
Cosmic delivery drivers#
Everyone I interacted with including owners, managers, dispatch workers, and other drivers were pretty uniformity great people. Pay is variable based on time of day and day of week but every shift has both a decent base pay and a really good guaranteed minimum (for the area), tips are also good for the most part. It's first come first serve but more senior drivers get first pick. Drivers are required to take (iirc) 4 shifts/week but you can take as much as you want beyond that as long as they're available. Shifts are divided into 2 or 3 hour blocks. I drove for cosmic for a while and I liked it.
