Consumers’ rising demand for takeaway food and home delivery from fast-casual and quick service restaurants has eventually shaped the market facet by evoking a single change in process i.e. the effective use of technology or re-engineering that helps in automating the various process steps of order management, delivery and invoicing.

Keywords: Online Food delivery service, delivery start-ups, market trends, opinions, evolution, need, technical architecture, business model. Introduction The business of delivering restaurant meals to doorsteps is undergoing a rapid change as new online platforms race to capture markets and customers across the America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The ever-increasing population, crowded metro cities and longer travel times have become the drivers for fueling the demand of convenient, ready-to eat and cheaper options of food and groceries delivered at the doorstep. Furthermore, the frictionless growth in a digitally native era has become yet another contributor to deliver an ‘instant gratification’ moment to the customers. Universally considering the urge to satiate this mushrooming need, we as a pioneering technology provider made an attempt to simplify the order booking and delivering process and enhancing the customer experience by building a best-in-class online food ordering solution. Our solution has built-in finesse around the functionality lines such as order booking, order tracking, making payments and reporting plus analytics. With time, as we see future updates rolling amongst the latest technology trends we make sure we adopt new market demands and technology updates and make suitable changes to modernize our ready-to-market and fully customizable product. A seamless, rich in experience, customer-centric designed software is the need of the hour which rules the market for years. Positioning the same focused silos at the heart of software architecture is most vital part of development. We proudly and truly stand to this maxim and streamline development operations to stay viable and achieve growth. Here we take a rundown on the online food order- ing technology platform modules- built after a deep market study with a greater efficiency and a keen eye on brand consisten- cy and growth but before that let’s toggle upon the evolution of food order- ing and the market overview. At-home eating: The evolution of food delivery the race to service business convenience 1 2 3 4 Grocery stores Grocery delivery Prepared groceries Meal deliveries HUBBUB The Need: Ease and Convenience Suddenly the life has become easier with the smartphones. The best part is the apps that come as a solu- tion for every problem that we face in day to day life. When people get stuck in traffic, come late from office, faces the absence of maid or plans to throw an unplanned party – online food ordering apps comes as their rescue. With a few taps, they can search the nearby restaurants, select the menu, order the food and pay online. And the food will be delivered to their doorsteps. Zero Hassles And No Misunderstandings Ordering using the conventional ways like phone can often result in misunderstandings may be due to external disturbances (noise, accent, chaos etc.) at either end. A single mistake while taking the order can create a whole mess in delivering the right order and processing billing. With online food ordering app all these chaos can be resolved since all the preferences are specified directly by the customer, which leads to a hassle-free delivery leaving no room for confusions and misunderstandings. Online Food Ordering is Opened 24/7 An online food ordering business allows you to keep your order taking operations 24/7 ON. Through app customers can schedule a preferred pickup or delivery time as per their convenience in your set business hours, so that when you open your outlet, you already have a to-do list to review and put the action ON. An Online Menu Is Simpler To Manage The real tussle starts when you’ve already got a heap of printed menu and over a course of time, you need to trim down the dishes you no more provide or you tussle to cross the rates of dishes that dynami- cally gets soared due to strikes, rate hike or any other unprecedented reasons. The online menu brings a huge sigh of relief as it gives you the liberty to update any changes hence leaving no room for printed dependencies. Additionally, it allows you to easily test different placements of your dishes in the menu, setup daily offerings or handle items with limited availability. Real Time Location Tracking This feature allows users to track the order delivery process right from placing an order to finding the current status of an order. It provides the option to track the whole status such as when the order is placed, went to kitchen, got prepared, dispatched, and the estimated delivery time left. These keeps the users engaged and gain the trust and credibility. Social Media Friendly Restaurants can open new avenues for revenue generation by adding the functionality of social media shar- ing. Social media provides the opportunity to interact easily and makes sharing effortless. This way the food delivery startups can increase the popularity and online recognition.

  • The Future of Mobility Ride-Hailing and New Businesses to Fuel $7Tn+
    EQUITY RESEARCH | June 4, 2019 | 6:25 AM EDT The following is a redacted version of the original report. See inside for details. THE FUTURE OF M BILITY Ride-hailing and new businesses to fuel $7tn+ global mobility market The next 10 years of mobility will bring more change in the way that people and products move than any decade since the invention of the automobile. Emerging technologies and business models like ride-hailing and sharing, autonomous driving and delivery, micro-mobility and even eVTOL (flying cars, finally) stand to disrupt profit pools that we estimate exceed $700bn, and venture backed startups and incumbents will attempt to address over $7tn in spend- ing. Given the size of the opportunity, it should come as no surprise that access to capital has created a hyper competi- tive environment marked by massive operating losses driven by marketing, subsidies, incentives, and capital in- vestment. As this environment matures and rationalizes, we expect consolidation that will lead to profitability, the establishment of category leaders, and significant opportunities for investors. Heath P.
