The traditional concept of food delivery has seen a rapid shift in the last decade. Pizza Hut is believed to have executed the first-ever online food delivery in the year 1994. With the drastic increase in the usage of smartphones and growth in the economy, various online food delivery startups started emerging into the market. Online food delivery enables customers to have their choice of restaurant-made food delivered at their doorstep with a single tap on phones. The concept of such online platforms has gained immense attention and success by granting its customers both convenience as well as a wide choice of restaurants to choose from. Not just ready to eat food, online food delivery platforms are also stepping up their game to deliver groceries.

The fast adaptation to the digital world has been the key to the huge success of online food delivery platforms. They gain from both by the restaurants (through certain fixed margins of the orders), as well as from the customers via small delivery charges. Online platforms for food delivery are further categorized as “the aggregators” and “the new delivery”. The major difference of “the new delivery” platforms from “the aggregators” is the fact that the apps and sites have their own logistics which provides much ease to the restaurants lacking delivery folks. They not only allow the customers to compare from thousands of restaurants but also have a chain of thousands of employees who picks up the order from the restaurants and delivers the same at customer’s door within an hour or so. Understanding that the employees in charge of food delivery play the most vital job, it is essential to make sure they are who they claim to be, i.e, legitimate ones. 

Delivery guys get the actual names and addresses of the customers. For the purpose of delivering food, they get easy access to different buildings, apartments, offices, residential areas, corporates, and all such places. Unknown delivery guys can be scammers aka bad guys, kidnappers, or someone with a past criminal record. Therefore, it is extremely important for the delivery platforms to execute an in-depth ID verification of the delivery guys before onboarding them. Moreover, considering the vast customer base of online food delivery apps right from children to old age people, it becomes extremely important to provide them with a safe and secured experience. After the pandemic, and when the employees are getting hired remotely, it has become even more difficult for the organizations to verify them. With cut-throat competition, it takes only a single bad incident to destroy the reputation and credibility!
