At Foodhub, we know that managing deliveries during busy periods can be stressful. Orders pile up, customers get impatient, and manually grouping deliveries becomes time-consuming and inefficient. That’s why we’ve introduced a smarter way for takeaway businesses to handle deliveries—Order Group with AI, now live on the Dispatch Screen for all Foodhub for Business clients.
Whether you're dealing with a Friday night rush or simply want to streamline your process, this new feature is designed to simplify order grouping, reduce delays, and give your drivers clearer direction—all with just a click.
Many takeaways face the same challenge: as the volume of orders increases, so does the complexity of grouping them for delivery. Doing this manually takes time, and without the right logic behind the grouping, you risk inefficient routes and slower service.
Order Group with AI was designed to:
This feature brings together automation, configurability, and control—all directly inside your Dispatch Screen. Here’s how it works:
With just one click on the Order Group with AI button, the system automatically processes all active delivery orders and forms optimised groups. No spreadsheets, no dragging and dropping multiple orders manually to get started.
It’s not just about which orders are going to nearby addresses. The AI uses intelligent logic to consider:
You can configure these settings yourself to suit your team’s delivery capabilities and workflow.
If you’d like to make changes after the groups are generated, no problem. Dispatchers can manually move orders between groups using a simple drag-and-drop function, allowing full control and flexibility.
Each group that’s created comes with an automatically generated, optimised delivery route. This makes it easier for drivers to complete trips efficiently and helps reduce overall delivery times.
Once you’re happy with the groups, you can assign drivers to each one right from the same screen, keeping everything streamlined in one place.
Every takeaway is different. That’s why Order Group with AI includes configurable preferences. You can:
Whether you want tighter control or full automation, the feature adapts to how you like to work.
This update isn’t about adding bells and whistles—it’s about giving your business real, measurable benefits:
Fewer trips mean less fuel burned. The savings add quickly, especially during busy shifts.
Customers get their food quicker, fresher, and hotter, leading to better reviews and more repeat business.
Drivers don’t have to figure out their routes. The system does the hard work, so they can focus on getting the job done.
By making your deliveries more efficient, you can serve more customers without needing more drivers.
With clear reporting, you can make informed choices around staffing, delivery times, and promotions.
Let’s compare a typical delivery night with and without the new system.
That’s not just more efficient—it’s better for your bottom line and your customers.
If you’re already using Foodhub for Business, turning on smart delivery management is simple. It integrates directly with your dashboard and works with your existing orders and delivery staff.
There’s nothing complicated to install. Just toggle it on, and the system takes care of the rest. Drivers will receive grouped deliveries and optimised routes through their app, and you’ll have access to all the insights from your admin view.
You can customise how the system works, too—set your delivery radius, group time windows, or route preferences.
Order Group with AI is built to make high-volume order management easier, faster, and more accurate. It brings together automation and control in a way that’s easy to use—even during the busiest delivery periods.
If you’re a takeaway using Foodhub for Business, this feature is already available on your Dispatch Screen. All you need to do is click "Group with AI" and start seeing the difference.
It’s not just about smarter grouping—it’s about giving your team more time, your customers better service, and your business a more efficient way to deliver.
