I imagine it would be a matching engine that projects can apply to their own specific needs. Or are the brains of DoorDash and Uber already open source, like how most of the WWW runs on FOSS?

The hardest part is getting restaurants to list themselves on the service. Worked in the restaurant industry before and during the pandemic, many restaurants despise using delivery apps, and had deliberately chosen not to, I in fact have told one DoorDash rep to fuck off specifically, because they wouldn't stop trying to list us without our permission. They really are bloodsucking cretins, and it took the financial pressures of the pandemic to strongarm 99% of restaurants to list themselves with some sort of delivery app. Now they all do just to keep pace.
