Abstract
Techniques for optimizing a food service configured to receive food orders from multiple customers, and consolidate orders based on respective days, times, and locations associated therewith. The food orders may include deliveries, customer pick-ups, and dine-in options for eating at a restaurant. The optimized food service may be configured to assign a restaurant to the consolidated orders and send a preparation instruction to the restaurant to prepare the consolidated orders for a designated pick-up or dining time. The optimized food service may additionally instruct an order supervisor to travel to the restaurant to assist in preparation of the consolidated orders. The order supervisor may additionally serve a food order, such as for a dine-in option or full service, catered delivery. For delivery orders, the optimized food service may assign a courier and, in some examples, a delivery assistant, to deliver the orders to respective customers.
