Staten Island, NYC
The borough with the most homes and the fewest options. Bobby is bringing the same flat-fee service to Staten Island that the other four boroughs will get.
Spread out and too often skipped by the delivery apps, Staten Island deserves its own drivers. Bobby covers it from St. George to Tottenville for a flat $2.
Here is how a tracked dinner order works on Bobby, for the customer and for the driver. Drag the price to see it at any job size. Same flat fee, no percentage cut, ever.
If you book it (customer)
The flat $2 splits $1 to the restaurant and $1 to the driver, never a 30% cut. Standard card processing is billed at cost and shown in your total before you confirm; your tip goes entirely to the driver.
If you deliver it (driver)
A typical 25% app would take $5 of this job. On Bobby, all $18 stays yours.
What you keep as a driver, side by side
You keep all $18. No percentage, ever. The flat $2 fee is the customer's, added on top.
They take $5 out of this one job. You keep just three quarters of your own work.
Example only, not a quote. Drivers set their own price; the flat $2 fee is what stays fixed.
Browse local restaurants and see honest menu prices, with no percentage padding, before you check out.
A verified driver nearby picks up your order, and you track it live from the kitchen to your block.
Pay by card in the app. The fee is a flat $2, a dollar to the restaurant and a dollar to the driver, and your tip goes straight to whoever brought it.

Ardi Shita Founder & CEO, Bobby
Ardi founded Bobby to fix the gig economy in his own city. With a background in investment banking, M&A and company building, he leads the New York team building one trusted app for everyday services — on a flat $1 fee, with not a cent skimmed off the people doing the work.
Bobby is preparing for launch and is finalizing all required regulatory registrations and licensing, including applicable approvals from the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC).
Our platform is being built with compliance at its core. Services requiring regulatory authorization will not be offered or made available until all applicable licenses, permits, and registrations have been issued.
In the meantime, we invite you to join our waitlist to be among the first to experience Bobby when we officially launch.
