A Case Study on the Development of an AI-Enabled Food Delivery System From Home to Home

Abstract

Like other domains of life, the food processing industry is also not untouched by the use of artificial intelligence. Though this industry has not been amenable to technology in the past, AI will play the role of catalyst in this industry going forward. Many working people who live alone in far-away cities and students living in PG have resorted to either consuming ready-to-eat food or ordering take-aways from restaurants. Moreover, people opting for tiffin service are usually bound to a single vendor for an indefinite period, giving them fewer options for customization and portion size. This chapter presents a case study for creating an AI-based platform where users can decide which supplier they want their meals from. The system will present the user with nearest tiffin suppliers who can provide home-cooked meals on weekly or monthly subscription bases. The user will also be able to customize the meal quantity and frequency. It will also empower homemakers to start their small businesses and have financial independence from the comfort of their homes.
