Windows that track the line
Distance, load, and past runs feed the same quote guests see at checkout—so promises match reality.

Dispatch that stays ahead of the rush
Pack, stage, and release in an order that keeps couriers moving when tickets stack.

Zones you define—not a generic map pin
Radii, minimums, and clean address capture mean fewer failed drops and less margin lost to re-runs.
Why first-party delivery wins on busy nights
Marketplace delivery takes a cut of every order and hides your customer behind their app. Running delivery on your own channel means you set the zones, the fees, and the ETA—and you keep the guest data and the margin. With ML-optimized dispatch smoothing the rush, busy nights stay under control without paying a middleman for the privilege.

Delivery logistics FAQ
How are delivery ETAs calculated?
Menuella blends kitchen load, distance, and historical runtimes so the window you show matches what your team can execute—then it adjusts as the line gets busier.
How do delivery zones and fees work?
You define radii, minimums, and fees per zone. Guests only see addresses you can serve, which cuts failed drops and support churn.
What does predictive dispatch change for staff?
The queue highlights what to pack and release next as volume shifts—whether you use in-house riders or a partner fleet on your own brand.
Do customers need a third-party app to track orders?
Guests get updates on your site and messages—no marketplace app in the middle—so your brand owns the experience end to end.
Why run delivery on Menuella instead of a marketplace?
First-party profiles and order history stay in Menuella, so ETAs and promos improve over time without renting your guest relationship from a marketplace.
