A geographic database of the subject invention interfaces with the Point-of-Sale system in a Quick Service Restaurant to optimize the sequence and pairing of delivery orders based on customer location, driver availability and prioritized real-time information.
The system optionally communicates with GPS-enabled cellular or Wi-Fi communication devices to provide turn-by-turn navigation information to the driver and enable supplementary location information and other communication exchanges between the driver and the dispatch location during the delivery process.
The system may be configured to aggregate a number of local delivery areas into a virtualized delivery system allowing further optimization of driver resources and to enhance capacity utilization across participating order-dispatch locations.
