Yup, I was working on it myself, but shelved it to work on another startup right now.

I wrote a complete system like a Shopify for small retailers integrated with delivery etc. But the code is locked in a private repo for me to get back to if my current startup fails.

You mean like ChowNow? They manage stuff like that.

You do understand that the problem with food delivery isn't the online bit. It's fairly easy to manage the online bit.

Expectation management is a big issue in food delivery business - that turns people away real easy. Miss delivery timing twice and people are much more likely to drop you. Get swamped with calls - people drop you. It's a hellhole of customer service.

Building out a reliable delivery network - is not easy. The farther the delivery goes out - the more complex it gets.

Out of all - Uber has the best solution to evaluate speed of delivery using a car... and OK for bicycles.
