Delicia is a Blockchain technology powered technology developed to prevent wastage of food and make food more accessible and affordable. Some random hotel in a random city overestimated the need for food and hence purchased or prepared more than required. Some other restaurant in the same city underestimated the number of customers and hence not had enough to serve every single customer. So, both restaurants are not in good situations. One restaurant has food but there is no one to buy. The other restaurant has customers but not enough to serve all orders.

Both restaurants are in the same city. The one running out of stock can demand and the other can supply. They just need a common platform where they can express their needs and find someone who can address their needs.

Delicia facilitates them with everything they need to route unutilized food from the supplier (the restaurant having excess stock) to the consumer (the restaurant that needs food urgently). And, you might have noticed, that’s a direct deal between the supplier and the consumer. There is no middleman to turn this deal into a long supply chain.
