Abstract
An order server operated by a restaurant service communicates with a restaurant server and a driver to retrieve incentive based food preparation and delivery time frames for an order. Using the time frames, the order server formulate a list of incentive based delivery plans, and provides the list to a diner device. From the diner device, the order server receives a selected incentive based delivery plan for the order from the list.
