Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
The ASAP Embroidered Dad Cap Hat celebrates a brand rooted in the early app-based restaurant delivery era. What began as Waitr in Lake Charles in 2013 grew city by city across the South, later expanding through acquisitions and taking the ASAP name in 2022. The company’s shift toward deliveries beyond restaurants and its 2024 closure make this a distinctive piece for those interested in changing business models, regional companies, and the history behind a once-familiar delivery name.
ASAP began in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in 2013 as Waitr, Inc., founded by Chris Meaux with support from McNeese State University. Its origins trace to Startup Weekend Gainesville in October 2013, where Meaux and students developed a mobile ordering concept that sent customer orders directly to restaurant kitchens. The team later tested table-side ordering, pivoted to carry-out, and then expanded into delivery as demand grew. Waitr launched city by city across the South. In 2018, it was acquired through a $308 million reverse takeover by Lancadia holdings, part of Fertitta Entertainment. In January 2019, Waitr acquired Minneapolis-based Bite Squad for $321 million, substantially increasing its size. In 2021, it acquired Florida-based Delivery Dudes and three payment processing companies: ProMerchant, Flow Payments, and Cape Cod Merchant Services. The company announced a rebrand to ASAP in January 2022, alongside a shift toward non-restaurant deliveries, particularly cannabis. The name change and a $4.7 million payment were part of a trademark settlement with Waiter.com. ASAP announced it would cease operations on March 30, 2024. On April 2, Waitr Holdings declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation.
