Cooking meals at home probably takes fewer resources and creates less waste overall.
However, assuming that there's driving involved in either case, I wouldn't think having an order delivered from a big facility is much different from you going to a restaurant and picking up takeout.
A warehouse can be more efficiently cooled and enlighted than a shop for individuals.
A big kitchen preparing menu after menu can be more efficient than heating up the oven for a single use. A restaurant using larger supply packs can be more efficient than household sizes in packaging and transport.
It's a case by case thing, but average for a few domains might not be that bad.
