&gt; The food must be packed so that the least damage occurs. (eg. crispy needs to breathe, yet be kept warm)<p>I wonder how much room there is to specialize in doing this right.<p>The vast majority of the time I order delivery, food tends to come in super-budget containers that degrade the experience. Pizzas arriving in cardboard boxes, the taste altered by 10+ minutes of steaming and dripping oil... asian food tends to arrive in the clam-shell styrofoam containers that mush up some vegetables or turn crispy fried food soggy, with sauces in thin plastic cups that invariably leak at least a little... When was the last time anyone rethought delivery?<p>The experience could be so much better. What if soups used parfait-style containers to keep the liquids separate from dry mix-ins (eg fried chicken) until right before consumption? What if pizza boxes had oil-absorbant padding and better venting? And what about standardizing those container sizes like we standardized shipping containers, so food doesn&#x27;t get jumbled in a plastic bag? Seems like that would open the window to containers with heating&#x2F;cooling packs as well, which would help batch-deliver orders more efficiently.<p>How much of a market is there for companies that handle shipping <i>and</i> packaging&#x2F;handling of delivery orders? Owning the full delivery experience instead of just some cars.
