Our story started at the beginning of the global pandemic when Covid-19 reached Aquidneck Island. I drove down Broadway and Thames Street one night and wondered why not many restaurants were doing delivery and were closed when the Governor forced a shut down. After talking to restaurants and researching the largest delivery companies in America, I saw an alarming trend. Delivery was simply unattainable to most restaurants during the pandemic because of the high commissions out-of-state, billion-dollar apps were charging. Restaurants either had to do it themselves, which was costly in terms of overhead, or they had to use the major app-based delivery services, which charged 15% to 30% in commissions, only making about .10 cents on the dollar if they were lucky, or they had to close.    I thought to myself  there has to be a better way of doing things!  That is when No Contact Valet & Newport Dine Out was born. A sense of community drives this company. This is home for me and has been my entire life.   There is a better way of doing things and we are that better way.
