Last-mile logistics accounts for more than 40% of the total cost of fulfilling a delivery order. For restaurants managing direct delivery or partnering with hybrid fleets, route optimization is the single biggest determinant of order profitability.
Smart Order Batching
Sending a single rider 4 kilometers to deliver one meal costs up to ₹60–₹80 in rider payout and fuel. However, grouping two orders heading in the same residential corridor reduces per-order fulfillment cost by up to 35% without increasing delivery time by more than 7 minutes.
Geo-fencing Delivery Radii
Expanding delivery zones beyond 7 kilometers often causes food temperature loss and rider delays. High-performing outlets cap immediate hot-food fulfillment within a 5 km radius, reserving outer zones for scheduled catering and party trays.
