The service is the brainchild of two recent Stanford Business School graduates, Craig Cohen and Michael Adelberg (friends since junior high and classmates at MIT). Some 60 restaurants have signed up, including Le Boulanger, Hobee’s, TOGO’S, Round Table Pizza, Golden Wok and Mango Café. 

Access the service at the address http://www.waiter.com on the Internet’s World Wide Web. Review the menus, specify how you want your food done, and give a pickup or delivery time. Orders are sent automatically. "We were interested in creating something on the Web that people would find useful everyday," says the energetic Cohen, who started his first company at age 15.
