Food order and delivery service

Nowadays, many food startup companies focus both on the food ordering and delivery service.

What they do is?

They take the order from the customer and pass on to the restaurants, and handle the delivery by themselves. For the delivery, they develop a network with delivery partners. With the separate app for delivery, they pass on the delivery details to the delivery partners.

The food ordering process

The customer of the food companies can choose the favorite food from the menus posted from different restaurants. When the restaurant receives the food order, the restaurant sends a message to the food delivery company admin about the time to prepare food.

The Food Delivery Process

Once the order placed the delivery network is notified with the time to collect the food from the restaurant and address the destination. The delivery network determines whether to accept the job or not. When the delivery network accepts the order, the message along with the estimated time of delivery is sent to the customer.

The drawback of food order and delivery service to the food companies is not completely based on the software as it is a bit difficult to scale up. On the other side, they have to look for the logistics part which is more like such as recruiting couriers, training them, servicing, shift preparation, etc.

Only food ordering service

If the food startup companies focus only on the food ordering service. They mainly provide the tools for independent restaurant ordering.

The food ordering process starts with the customer place an order on the website or mobile app and the restaurant will receive the order through the admin app/dashboard. Once the restaurant receives the order from the customer, they alert the customer through the email or with the text message.

The delivery process is handled by the delivery person who is employed by the restaurant or by the company. Food startups can’t increase the efficiency of food delivery on time.

With only food ordering function, the food startups don't need to worry about shipping so they have great scale possibilities and remarkable growth.

If the food startups only opt for the food ordering process, then the commission is only for the leads due to this the earning will be limited.

As the only food ordering function of food startups is purely the software-based it is better to look for an expert on-demand food ordering app development company.
