The staggered commute times make this very workable. Someone who gets to works at 8:30 wants an early lunch, where the 11:00 commuter wants a later lunch. All the while, the lunch man and his wife have employment too.

Lunch Man
In Bombay there are scores of "lunch men." Their job is to deliver a home made lunch to the office workers in the city. Their wives cook the food and store it in lunch boxes or bags or cans. These "boxes" are then arranged on a bicycle. Starting out early in the morning the lunch man delivers the lunch...then picks up the container on his trip home. This service is delivered for 300 rupees a month. There are 53 rupees to a dollar, so you can figure the cost.
