Online Food Delievery:-

Online food ordering is the process of ordering food, for delivery or
pickup, from a website or other application. The product can be either ready-to-
eat food (e.g., direct from a home-kitchen, restaurant, or a virtual restaurant) or
food that has not been specially prepared for direct consumption (e.g.,
vegetables direct from a farm/garden, fruits, frozen meats. etc).

Types:-
Restaurant-controlled
In restaurant-controlled online food ordering, the restaurants create their own website and app, or choose to hire a delivery
vendor. If they choose to create their own website, they make sure to obtain software that manages the orders efficiently,
 
meaning it has the capability to manage different orders at once. When they hire a vendor, the restaurant pays for a
monthly fee or percentage-based fees. The vendor covers the developmental costs.

Independent websites
In this case, a person cooks and offers meals or kits via their website, which are then directly sent to consumers. The  
consumer chooses which meal and how many meals they want sent to their office or home, and pays depending on the
meals or the program they are interested in. People choose to order meals from other people for different reasons: not
wanting or having time to cook, wanting to eat home-cooked meals, or to lose weight by eating healthy foods. Examples of
this type of service include DineWise, NutriSystem, Chef's Diet, etc

Food cooperatives
Some food cooperatives like Macomb Co-op allow members to place orders of locally grown and/or produced food online
and pick up and pay for their orders at a central location
Delivery platforms
The riders and drivers for nearly all independent restaurant delivery app services are independent contractors, having the
flexibility to choose when they work. In Australia, specifically riders for the food app of Foodora, consider themselves
employees because they sometimes work full time hours, are required to wear uniforms, and run shift system.
However, food delivery riders and drivers usually do not receive any insurance coverage, protective gear, or sick pay as
independent contractors, which have led to some asking for improved safety standards. In response, Deliveroo gave riders
a helmet with a GoPro camera to record any problems they may face, specifically with criminals. The riders have the
opportunity to raise safety concerns about delivery areas in the app.
