The appointed time for the take-out of the US group will not be made in advance, but will be started after the rider receives the order notice.

theoretically, it should be the customer's order that arrived at the specified time. The system will inform the merchant that there is a reservation form, but the merchant can't see the specific order content for the time being. When it is almost time, the system will unlock, and the merchant will see the order and start to take it.

Meituan take-out has reservation function; However, after receiving the order, the merchants need to accurately estimate the arrival time of the rider according to the time reserved by each user, which is basically impossible.

Introduction

At present, merchants and riders can only deliver goods according to the order sequence and route degree, so you will find that even if you choose an appointment time, it will not be delivered accurately according to the appointment.

It is expected that the Meituan take-out will establish accurate algorithm tools, give accurate instructions to merchants and riders, and realize the real reservation function. Regarding the function of "merchants rest and make an appointment to place an order", I feel that there are not many application scenarios, and the takeaway should be instant-to-buy. After the rest of the business, it means that no one will process the order in the background, and whether the reservation form can be closed can not be determined until the next business.
