System for the sale of food via an internet platform

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for the sale of packaged foodstuffs via an Internet platform between a supplier and a customer. The Internet platform is designed to present the offer of the supplier to the customers and to directly or indirectly establish contact between the customer and supplier via a transport company to deliver food to the customer as packaged foodstuffs. The food is placed into reusable containers by the supplier, such that said food is kept hot or cooled. A transport company can optionally be connected to any supplier via the Internet platform to pick up an order of a customer that has been received by the Internet platform from the relevant supplier and deliver said order to the customer. A provider of reusable containers can be put into contact with any supplier to supply the latter with reusable containers.
