Name a Business :P

I'm starting up a delivery service that delivers party food and liquor- munchies, beer, fast food, and any requests a customer may have for a flat fee.

But i'm stuck on the name, I can't think of anything natural and appealing enough to go with my product.

A (not very) competitive service is called dial-a-bottle... i'm trying to think of something interesting and upbeat but even for the past few days i've come up with nada.

Help me out tfp?

Remember this guy from Mr. Rogers? I think he called himself Speedy Delivery.

But I think you might call yourself something like : The Most Reliable Delivery Service

You are offering more than just the delivery of a bottle of booze. I suggest that you look at the YP category that you intend to advertise your service. Catering, perhaps? I recommend that your business name is in the early part of the alphabet, unless you have the bucks to invest in a display ad that can compete with the other display ads. Also, direct you name/ad to your target customer. I assume it is young adults?

Very lame suggestions that you can improve on:

A Party Today (Tomorrow)
All About Casual
Celebrations
Custom Insta-Party

It's not really a catering service... I will be collaborating with several fast food restaurants (ie. they refer delivery requests to me) as well as providing snack food...

I'm minimizing risk for the liquor delivery by limiting it to prepayment by credit card or a debit system, no C.O.D. orders. Trying to find a name that emphasizes the food delivery

interesting contributions though, i'm keeping them in mind, thanks :P

I like the speedy delivery idea, sorta retro

I always wanted to own a business called "Bob's Pig Hut", but unless you have a lot of pork products for sale, it's going to fall a bit flat.

How about:
Grub and Sudz Delivery
Here's the food, eh. (though I suppose that's more eastern)
Dine-in Delivery, you call 'em, we haul 'em.

that's all I've got.

close to some of the above, I like "We Deliver" ...it has a strong connotation of good performance and getting the job done... maybe with a second line something like "You enjoy"

WE DELIVER
-you enjoy-

I like something with the word "express" in it. Party Express. Munchie Express. Beer Express. For example it can be shortened to Beer Ex ...

ah lots of great ideas guys thanks!

The top three are currently:
1. Grubz and Sudz
2. Speedy Snack
3. Designated Deliveries

They're all catchy and say something about my business. Appreciate the input, you've been very helpful

I thought of "Party To Go" and saw it already here.

Other ideas that occur (bearing in mind that I've consumed alcohol) are:

Beer N Stuff

Universal Party Supplies (but do NOT paint your truck brown)

Truck Full-O-Booze

In Transit (note: this joke probably only wrks in Europe, where the poplar range of Ford Transit vans are used by most delivery companies).

Bring a Bottle
