Delivery time estimates are an important factor for online food delivery platforms. These platforms also depend on batching - delivering two orders together - to increase efficiency and reduce cost. In this paper we propose a novel system for enhanced delivery time estimates for batched orders. The system is based on multiple machine learning algorithms that work together to make the predictions. We observe that the system leads to an increase in the number of times the food is delivered within the estimated delivery times by about 6%.

Abstract
Delivery time estimates are an important factor for online food delivery platforms. These platforms also depend on batching - delivering two orders together - to increase efficiency and reduce cost. In this paper we propose a novel system for enhanced delivery time estimates for batched orders. The system is based on multiple machine learning algorithms that work together to make the predictions. We observe that the system leads to an increase in the number of times the food is delivered within the estimated delivery times by about 6%.
