Food Delivery

An order is typically made either by telephone, through the supplier's website or mobile app, or through a third party food ordering service. The delivered items can include entrees, sides, drinks, desserts, or grocery items and are typically delivered in boxes or bags. The delivery person will normally drive a car, but in bigger cities where homes and restaurants are closer together, they may use bikes or motorized scooters.

Nascent technologies, such as autonomous vehicles have also been used to complete deliveries. Customers can, depending on the delivery company, choose to pay online or in person, with cash or card.
