Not necessarily. How fast does a drone fly - will it always be faster than a moped, especially on a short, direct route? Also, more significantly, what's the maximum weight a drone can realistically carry? A moped can carry several pizzas at once for delivery to multiple addresses. Plus 'awkward' orders (litre bottle of soda?) aren't really catered for by drone, as far as I can tell.
Not totally dismissing the technology - drones obviously have great future potential and, hopefully, are ultimately far better for our environment - but not convinced that takeaway delivery is a suitable use case.
