I`m thinking about starting a part-time delivery service, what would be the ideal way of charging customers? Per delivery or I was thinking of a monthly membership type of thing. I felt that would control the monetary transactional flow to a minimum.  Any suggestions?

Per delivery as your standard, with a monthly subscription for people who`d like regular deliveries. The subscription should be an option, not the default.

We had a delivery business in my area that was REALLY popular and won several awards from the city chamber of commerce.  They eventually went out of business because of gas prices.  

Sounds like a plan, I`m still in the initial phase of this plan...thank you both for the advice. 
abrumms- what type of a delivery service did you have? (if you don`t mind me asking).
