A method for transmitting an activation communication to a number of delivery agents from a server including a communication router coupled to a communication network, the activation communication being routed through a delivery agent application associated with each delivery agent for delivery of a plurality of orders placed through a customer order placement application in communication with the server, the method comprising the steps of:

• a. receiving, at the server, a plurality of order communications from the customer order placement application, each of the plurality of order communications comprising an order for one or more items placed by a customer for delivery to a delivery destination;
• b. determining, by the server, an order ready time for each of the orders representing a time when the server determines the order will be ready for pickup at a pickup location;
• c. selecting, by the server, a number of delivery agents for activation and sending, by the communication router, an activation communication over the communication network to each of the selected number of delivery agents at different times to travel to the pickup location to pick up at least one of the orders;
• and

• b. a server for receiving a plurality of order communications from the customer order placement application over the communication network, each of the plurality of order communications comprising an order for one or more items placed by a customer for delivery to a delivery destination;
• c. a database of item information comprising the time for completion of each of the one or more items;
• d. an order queue for establishing a preparation sequence for each of the one or more items in each order based at least upon the time for completion of each of the one or more items;
• and
• e. a plurality of delivery agent applications operative to send a plurality of communications over the communication network to the server, wherein each of the plurality of communications from the plurality of delivery agent applications comprises information regarding an availability of an associated delivery agent to deliver orders;
• f. wherein the server identifies a delivery agent to pick up and deliver each order based at least in part on information in the plurality of communications and the order queue.
