Abstract

A delivery system includes a cooking station, a meal serving station, a drone, a meal conveying device configured to convey a meal from the cooking station to the meal serving station, and a controlling portion. A character of a theme park is displayed on the drone. The controlling portion causes the drone to fly from the cooking station to the meal serving station and causes the meal conveying device to convey the meal from the cooking station to the meal serving station such that, just after the drone has arrived at the meal serving station, the meal conveyed by the meal conveying device is served to a visitor from the meal serving station.
