The startup Postmates is carving out a unique place for itself in the economy: they exist to provide delivery for companies that aren’t interested in doing it themselves. While they perform same-day deliveries of merchandise from pretty much any store, their special niche this year has been signing up companies like Chipotle, Starbucks, and 7-Eleven, that you’ve secretly always wanted delivered, now they’ve added the parent company of Carvel, Cinnabon, and Moe’s to the mix.

There probably aren’t many situations in which you’d want an ice cream cake delivered to your door, but it could happen. The company, Focus Brands, also owns Auntie Annie’s, McAlister’s Deli, and Schlotzsky’s, so it’s not all sugary treats.

Postmates charges a delivery fee based on how busy they are and also a service fee based on the amount of your order. That means you could theoretically order a single cinnamon roll as long as you’re happy to pay at least five bucks on top of that.

Unfortunately, the service won’t be available in every city where Focus Brands has restaurants, or even in every City where Postmates currently operates: you’ll be able to order in from these restaurants only in New York City, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Portland for now.
