What the Team is Saying
What We Do
Howdy! The best things are found only in Texas, and Favor Delivery is proudly unavailable in 49 states. As a Texas born-and-bred company, and part of H-E-B, we love delivering food as much as Texans love eating it. From an extra-hot latte that meets you at the office to queso delivered (almost) right to your couch, we’re here when Texans are hungry and restaurants want to feed them. Experience how Texas orders in today!
Why Work With Us
Everything we do at Favor is rooted in our core values, including how we think about culture. We highly value transparency, respect, communication, and continuously pushing ourselves to learn, develop, and keep innovating.
