Catering services and modern food delivery platforms both fall short when it comes to organizing personalized meals for large events. Traditional catering offers limited menu options, while food delivery apps don't support group coordination across multiple vendors, making it hard to meet individual dietary needs or manage logistics for big groups.
Innovative
Solution
This invention introduces a smart, online bulk food ordering and delivery system that allows guests at events (like school lunches, corporate meetings, or parties) to choose their own meals from various food vendors — all in one seamless process. It uses a centralized platform to collect individual orders, handle allergies, group meals logically, generate personalized labels, and coordinate delivery.
Key Features
- Guests select meals from a curated list of multiple food vendors.
- The system handles customizations (e.g., no onions), allergy warnings, and dietary restrictions.
- It auto-generates digital labels that include guest names, meal details, and any warnings.
- Food is grouped and packed based on delivery zones (e.g., classrooms or meeting rooms), with smart routing for efficient delivery.
- Vendors receive exact packaging and delivery instructions.
- Educational tools, donation options, and compliance with food regulations (like school nutrition policies) are built in.
Inventive Step
Unlike current systems, this platform integrates multiple vendors into one customizable ordering experience, powered by smart automation (like allergy detection, packaging logistics, and nutrition tracking). The dynamic generation of individualized labels and organized group delivery is new and uniquely solves the coordination problem for large-scale, personalized food events.
Benefits
- Mass customization with zero hassle.
- Reduced food waste and misdelivery.
- Better allergy safety and nutrition oversight.
- Easier food delivery for schools, companies, and event planners.
