Optimization of network service based on an existing service

A computer-implemented method for enabling a plurality of requesting users to place delivery orders for prepared items, wherein for each requesting user of the plurality of requesting users, the method includes:

• determining a service location for the requesting user;
• determining an entity that is located within a specified distance of the service location, the entity providing a plurality of items for delivery to the service location;
• associating each item of the plurality of items with a corresponding set of timing data for preparing the item;
• for each item of the plurality of items, determining a service duration for the item to arrive at the service location, the service duration being based at least in part on (i) the corresponding set of timing data associated with the item, and (ii) an estimated time for a matched service provider to arrive at the service location with the item;
• identifying a desired service time for a service request of the requesting user;
• providing, on a user interface of a user device operated by the requesting user, a subset of items of the plurality of items for selection by the requesting user, each item of the subset of items being provided based at least in part on the desired service time and the determined service duration for that item;
• and
• enabling the requesting user to place a delivery order by selecting, through interaction with the user interface, one or more items of the subset of items for the delivery order.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations for enabling a plurality of requesting users to place delivery orders for prepared items, wherein for each requesting user of the plurality of requesting users, the operations include:

• determining a service location for the requesting user;
• determining an entity that is located within a specified distance of the service location, the entity providing a plurality of items for delivery to the service location;
• associating each item of the plurality of items with a corresponding set of timing data for preparing the item;
• for each item of the plurality of items, determining a service duration for the item to arrive at the service location, the service duration being based at least in part on (i) the corresponding set of timing data associated with the item, and (ii) an estimated time for a matched service provider to arrive at the service location with the item;
• identifying a desired service time for a service request of the requesting user;
• providing, on a user interface of a user device operated by the requesting user, a subset of items of the plurality of items for selection by the requesting user, each item of the subset of items being provided based at least in part on the desired service time and the determined service duration for that item;
• and
• enabling the requesting user to place a delivery order by selecting, through interaction with the user interface, one or more items of the subset of items for the delivery order.
