• Abstract summary: This paper presents the Cloud Kitchen platform as a decision-making tool for restaurants with food delivery. The platform contains a Technology-Specific Bridge (TSB) that provides an interface for communicating with restaurants or a simulator. We show that decisions made by our platform can improve customer satisfaction by reducing the number of delayed deliveries using a real-world historical dataset.

• Abstract: The global food delivery market provides many opportunities for AI-based services that can improve the efficiency of feeding the world. This paper presents the Cloud Kitchen platform as a decision-making tool for restaurants with food delivery and a simulator to evaluate the impact of the decisions. The platform contains a Technology-Specific Bridge (TSB) that provides an interface for communicating with restaurants or the simulator. TSB uses a planning domain model to represent decisions embedded in the Unified Planning Framework (UPF). Decision-making, which concerns allocating customers' orders to vehicles and deciding in which order the customers will be served (for each vehicle), is done via a Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW), an efficient tool for this problem. We show that decisions made by our platform can improve customer satisfaction by reducing the number of delayed deliveries using a real-world historical dataset.

• DeliverAI: Reinforcement Learning Based Distributed Path-Sharing Network for Food Deliveries [1.474723404975345]
  Existing food delivery methods are sub-optimal because each delivery is individually optimized to go directly from the producer to the consumer via the shortest time path. We propose DeliverAI - a reinforcement learning-based path-sharing algorithm. Our results show that DeliverAI can reduce the delivery fleet size by 12%, the distance traveled by 13%, and achieve 50% higher fleet utilization compared to the baselines.

The proposed framework consists of a semi-black-box acceptance probability model, a Lagrangian dual-based dynamic programming algorithm, and an online allocation algorithm. Our results show that using the proposed framework, the total order cancellations can be decreased by more than 25% in reality.
