Launched across the U.S. in April, the platform transforms workforce management: restaurants no longer need several hosts monitoring a handful of iPads to delegate orders, and they can consolidate delivery trips, meaning fewer drivers needed. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6230461/mealco/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6230461/mealco/"},"headline":"Managing Food Delivery","datePublished":"2022-11-10T11:22:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:09:57.212Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6230461/mealco/","keywords":["list","franchise","ecommerce","best inventions","Best Inventions 2022"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta38d9e5c8f9389d7/698a3768b3fce37d420c9da1/best-inventions-2022-mealco.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jennifer Duggan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/4547461/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Jennifer Duggan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/jennifer-duggan/"}],"creator":"Jennifer Duggan","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta38d9e5c8f9389d7/698a3768b3fce37d420c9da1/best-inventions-2022-mealco.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6230461/mealco/","name":"Managing Food Delivery"}}]}] ```
