This allows us to make distributions on a very large scale, like with the Red Cross with whom we carried out several operations, including a distribution of 200 pizzas at one go.”

Et He also plans to exploit this DNA with his future platform of deliveries. “That is to say, when a customer cannot be reached at the time of delivery, I will return the order to the restaurant and if I still have no signs of life from the customers, the dish will be offered to a homeless person.”

A new kitty to finance its platform

To finance his platform project, he also created a kitty where subscribers can donate money to develop the platform. “The objectiveit is also that this or a subscriber who develops itso I made an announcement for subscribers to apply.
