Estimating Food Preparation Time Using Advanced Technology

Category: Food & Drink

As seen above, several handshakes occur in the food delivery ecosystem after a client puts an order Each of these processes has a time component, such as the time it takes for the restaurant to cook the meal (Food Preparation Time, FPT), our Delivery Partner (DP) to arrive at the restaurant (DP pick up time), and our DP to arrive at the customer's address (DP delivery time) (DP drop time). All of these, as well as a few additional (expected and unpredictable) time components, come together to calculate the time from order placing to final delivery, which is then displayed to our consumers.
