He hopes to prove bike delivery as a viable means of transporting not only food but beverages as well. His long-term goal is to use his secret strategy to make all food and drinks offered by establishments on the Delmar Loop available at students’ doorsteps.

“I want people to not just have an experience with Dovelo in which they just get their food thrown in a paper bag and handed to them,” Stewart said. “I think the general understanding is that—how could you possibly have a full delivery business of having to deliver coffee hot on a bicycle and not spill it, not shake it all up? People’s general understanding is that if you’re on a bicycle, it’s going to be shoddy.”
