COORDINATED FOOD PRODUCTION, PREPARATION, AND DELIVERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240020595 titled 'COORDINATED FOOD PRODUCTION, PREPARATION, AND DELIVERY
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a method for managing a multi-kitchen order, which involves receiving a delivery order with multiple items associated with different kitchens, along with preparation time, location data, delivery destination, and requested delivery time. The method includes identifying kitchens within a specific geographic area, defining a pickup area for the order items, and analyzing distance information, preparation time, and requested delivery time to determine the feasibility of consolidating pickup and delivery. A delivery provider in proximity to the pickup area is assigned to pick up the order items, and an optimized route is determined to satisfy the requested delivery time. The optimized route is then transmitted to the delivery provider.
