Understanding the problem and researching
Food delivery is a global industry, powered by the gig economy which has swept North America, Europe, and Asia in the past decade. China’s food delivery apps have the largest user base and market penetration, reaching over 650 million people, the US is the second largest market and the most well-funded.

Step 2: Coming up with ideas and solutions
