With food delivery you can free yourself from the chore of cooking and from the stress of crowded places. All you have to do is choose the type of dish and order it through one of the many apps that offer this service.
Preliminary information
The system works according to your location and relies on restaurants, m also on pizzerias and various local types that have two ways to adopt the home delivery service via app or website.
- The first system involves affiliation to a service, such as Deliveroo o Foodora, in order to rely on a logistic network.
- The second system is called instead Network of restaurants. In the latter case, the restaurateur obtains the presence on a dedicated website and the relative visibility by those who place the order, an example of this method is Just Eat.
