What are the secrets of running a business purely based on delivery orders?

Question

I am thinking about opening a delivery restaurant. (Like pizza) Any suggestions?

I guess the question isn't specific enough. I know about owning businesses in general. I am a business owner. I am just curious about businesses that provide delivery service specifically. Thank you for your comments.
