CLUSTERTRUCK LOGO SOFTWARE

Prior to ClusterTruck, Chris sold Compendium Software to Oracle and took ExactTarget public before it was eventually acquired by Salesforce. The company uses software designed to optimize kitchen and delivery operations to ensure food gets delivered withinВ minutes of being prepared. Chris Baggott is the Founder and CEO of Clustertruck a fully-vertical delivery service that serves over 80 dishes across multiple cuisines throughout the Midwest. As businesses begin to reopen their doors, we are excited to join the food scene on the North Side and serve new customers, at home and work, our exciting flavors with gusto.вЂќД¬lusterTruck opened its first delivery-only kitchen in Indianapolis in 2016. вЂњWe have been proudly serving crave-worthy meals in downtown Indy since 2016, and now in Broad Ripple, Carmel and Fishers. вЂњAs a local restaurant owner, it is my duty to ensure that hungry Hoosiers should never have to choose between the convenience of fast delivery, the taste of restaurant-quality food and the variety of street food,вЂќ Chris Baggott, chief executive officer of ClusterTruck, said in a news release. ClusterTruck last fall opened new kitchens in Fishers and Broad Ripple. The new kitchen, located on East 82nd Street just west of Allisonville Road, will be the companyвЂ™s eighth delivery-only kitchen and just the fifth to open in the last 18 months. The technology and food startup has announced plans to open its fifth Indy-areaВ kitchen in Castleton, with delivery beginning in early June. I'll probably always keep delivery driving as a second job - it's a wonderful side hustle.Indianapolis-based ClusterTruck is expanding again in central Indiana. So, I think it will be for another three to five years. In terms of my future, I'm keen to pursue a job until my seven-year-old is pretty self-sufficient. Then we'll go back to the campsite and break them all with a hammer. So, we like to walk along the riverbed and find those types of rocks. All of the hills in Indiana are made of limestone, which is what creates geodes over time. A geode is a rock that you can find crystals inside when you bust it open. In my spare time, I also go looking for geodes with my daughter while out camping. It's probably why I enjoy delivering by bicycle too. Being outdoors is something and I love and if I could be outdoors all the time, I would be. This job allows me to do all of those things. When I'm not delivery driving, you can probably find me kayaking, fishing, or camping. My daughter can come with me and I can spontaneously leave if I have to take care of any problems. I don't have to go to work if I don't want to.

CLUSTERTRUCK LOGO DRIVER

The fact that I can create my own schedule as a driver is another reason why I'm keen to stay in this role. ClusterTruck doesn't mind if she rides in the back and plays with her tablet or her coloring books, and that's a key reason why I love the job.

But the flexibility of delivery driving has allowed me to have my daughter out with me while I'm driving, or stay home as needed.

As a single parent, I'm also responsible for school runs. On the bicycle, I average 30 miles a shift and that's when I know that I'm tired. Jump your way through insane levels in a game of the floor is lava on top of speeding trucks driven.

But if I work a full shift, I would say I make up to 100 deliveries in a day. Clustertruck is a chaotic physics based truckformer.

I typically work for seven hours and, on average, I carry out 40 deliveries a day, either by car or bicycle. This is when I get a notification that the kitchen is ready for me to collect orders for delivery. After dropping her off, I wait for the kitchen to get busy until I get pinged. My day usually begins at 7.30 a.m., when I drive to work with my partner, who works in the ClusterTruck kitchen. This was during its soft launch and I made the third-ever delivery for ClusterTruck. I started working at the company in 2016 on day one. Before ClusterTruck, I made deliveries for multiple other restaurants in the city of Indianapolis. I've worked in the delivery driving business for ten years now. It has been edited for length and clarity.
