Herndon, Virginia: Meet Kevin Abt and learn how he started Take Out Taxi.

Kevin and his wife both had great jobs and were used to going out to dinner on a regular basis. Then their first child was born. They were often too tired to cook and pizza got old quick.

Kevin thought he should be able to have food delivered to his home from his favorite restaurants. He couldn't find anyone who was doing it, so he started a company, Take Out Taxi. It did not take him long to learn how to franchise his idea; his growth was exponential, and, at the right time, he sold his part of the business.

Over ten years later, as the sole owner, he started again! The primary focus is business to business, weekdays. It is called, Restaurants to you.com.
