Abstract

In this paper, we explore the use of Operations Research in food delivery companies and how restaurants can choose between emerging food delivery companies using Transportation problems. The model used identifies the source that is the restaurant from where the quantity of food will be delivered to the destination that are the food delivery companies that want to grow their business by getting maximum amount of quantity from restaurants that can be delivered through them so that they can earn their profit and the restaurants can aim for cost minimization. The creation and use of a mathematical model helps in understanding the logical and systematic process and approach that can be used by food deliveries and business to make a decision regarding the decision of distribution. However as there are no exact figures used in this paper, this just gives an overview of how transportation modelling can be used in the decision making of the food delivery companies and restaurants.
