Takeout Central began in 1996 as Tarheel Takeout, serving students at UNC Chapel Hill. It later broadened its reach beyond campus, adopting the Takeout Central name as it expanded into the Triangle area. The company now operates as a restaurant delivery service across the Triad, Western North Carolina, and Tennessee, and is based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Positioned in the technology, information and internet sector, it relies on a network of couriers known as Delivery Heroes to connect diners with local restaurants. The firm describes its aim as rethinking the traditional restaurant delivery model by combining technology with crowd-based approaches, with goals of improving service and workplace culture. It indicates it is currently in startup mode to redefine its approach and broaden its geographic footprint.
