Having read the other comments about the hard point is not the tech but the marketing.
My suggestion is to not use internet to advertise at all, at least at first. Advertise by having beta testers use it for free in your community. And be a delivery person yourself. Be your own first and most frequent customer, ( as well as the delivery person). Have friends and relatives use it. Deliver to them.
Always talk to businesses and users face to face, in your community.
