Well, as Voice pointed out they do have these and
since there's a person that has to drive it anyway
they can better serve any customers. |

Now make this be an unmanned self driving car and
you might have something. |
|
| |
The "unmanned self-driving" aspect is a halfway house to that old favourite "physical internet". |
|

It depends where you choose to place the various aspects of the service. Is it a "warehouse" system with "thin" distributors (i.e. drones delivering single items) or a "heavier" system where a vehicle carrying multiple options delivers the service at the user point ? |

Hot food is an interesting case. The equipment to cook pizza tends to be bulky and energy demanding, so mobile pizza vans serving fresh pizza are very rare. But burgers, hot dogs, popcorn, and similar foods can be rapidly prepared to an acceptable standard using limited facilities. |
|
| |
The big players in the convenience food field are looking very, very hard at the available business models, as the first one to get it right will make a lot of money. The problem is keeping out me-too competitors if the technology is merely a simple rearrangement of existing systems. |
|
| |
A van carrying a selection of cook-chill food and some microwave ovens, that can deliver a hot meal to your door via a phone app is very bakeable. The same vehicle can carry complementary stocks of longer lived products - bakery, fruit, confectionery - for no cost penalty. |

+. I don't see the vending machine in voice's link |

Improvement: Vending machine car carrier. Tiny cars serve as
vending machines replenishing and taken distances in the car-
carrier truck. |
