Different types of Food Delivery Applications.
Restaurant Management
If the owner possesses more than one restaurant in the same city then they can deliver the food and share the menu of all their restaurants through this single Food Delivery Application. Restaurant owners do the end-to-end management of the system. They can create their everyday food menu , food offers , they are responsible for all the modifications in their order, they can fix the payment, service charges and all the orders placed by themselves. They can easily manage the delivery of the product. Restaurant owners can also customize any offers in the products or any increase in cost.
In this system, it supports both cash on payment and online payment even though there would be no commission charges for the third party. The amount spent on app management would be few. Users cannot use this application for the comparison or the competition among nearby other restaurants. They can independently perform food customization, menu customization, and order handling. Multiple restaurants in multiple cities require a single app.
The major disadvantages are the promotion of this application is very few. Visitors and tourists would be unknown about this app and gradually the order placed through this application will be reduced. There is a need of separate team to manage and test the software side of this application so it would be a difficulty.

Chain of Restaurants

All the menu, cost of food, every offers would be same for all their outlets in the world so the main advantage is for a travel person ie he just need to install a single application to handle from anywhere in the world. Users use this high-level application to control a huge system.
Aggregated System
A single application such as Swiggy, Zomato, Uber, and others will handle all the restaurant orders in the city. Here they can take the orders from every restaurants and they are the one who provides a delivery system that links the customer and restaurant. They will handle booking, payment, and delivery. They can collect service charges from both the restaurant and the customer end. Both ends can set the offer for the product.

- Commission management – Commission for each delivery has to be set and percentage of amount has to be already mentioned by each restaurants and they can place orders.
- Offer Management – The offers would be weekly , monthly or may be for particular occasions or for particular customers. Every offer has to maintained properly and the developer has to give a special care to manage the system while in developing stage of application.
