My comprehensive list - all of it is Seamless related:

  • Average delivery cost minimization; work with my deal teams to minimize delivery costs per person to optimize quality and quantity of side dishes
  • Value-for-money analysis, doing comprehensive financial analysis to locate restaurants that can get me dinner + lunch for my $25 allocation
  • Minutes / sleep ratio for midnight dinner - analyze at what time it’s worth it for me to stay at work after I’m done in order to grab free midnight snacks
  • Bulk arbitrage: Call store to change my order to a box of Lacroix
