Empirical Study of Customer Satisfaction Towards Cloud Kitchen Food Delivery System Based on Block chain and Smart Contract Technologies
Main Article Content
Abstract
Such platforms for food delivery have been gaining prominence with advanced internet access and the rise of smart devices. But this fast expansion has also raised some challenges around (i) protecting sensitive data and user privacy, (ii) the negative impact of shoddy B2B discounting, and (iii) the need for strict operating practices. User financial and personal information protection stays as priority. Moreover, restaurants are under tremendous pressure to make money so they are discounting heavily, which drives so many orders that restaurants cannot keep up. As a result, these practices often sacrifice timely deliveries and diminish the quality of food. This study proposes a new food delivery framework based on Block chain and Smart Contract to face these issues. Their goal is to get rid of the commission models that intermediaries implement and reduce service delays caused by too many orders. In the Ethereum test network, the proposed protocols have been carefully implemented and tested Confirmations. The results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system, indicating that as far as payment processes are concerned, they are conducted autonomously by the system. In addition, all participants (i.e., restaurants, delivery agents, and consumers) are required to comply with the relevant policies, and violators will be penalized accordingly.
