Well, the question becomes (given, too, that this is the Boston area): is 1.5 drivers enough during peak hours? If you're trying to locate to maximize starving college students, then you may very well find that evening hours are unreasonably busy, or your poor delivery driver is carrying 25 warm, tastey calzones in the car (which means that, in case of really bad traffic, the driver will never starve to death, but that's beside the point).
I imagine peak hours would actually end up noon-1pm, and then 6pm-8pm (or perhaps 7-10pm on weekends). I'd guess one could expect more than 3 orders/hour in those timeframes.
Rent in Boston is, to my limited knowledge, stab-yourself-in-the-head deadly. I'm not sure how much better, say, Brookline is than Boston-proper. That will play a part in how many more orders you need to get in the black.
I'm certain asking for a franchise info packet couldn't hurt. Though I'm not sure how much useful information (as opposed to marketing fluff) they'll give out in that.
