Patent ID: 8676718

Claim:
A method to facilitate a delivering warm food products, comprising: receiving data identifying a delivery location; determining a threshold delivery time associated with delivering a warm food product after production; ascertaining at least one peak period corresponding to a sale of the warm food product at the delivery location; loading the warm food product onto a heat-insulated container at a production source proximate to the delivery location, wherein the loading is performed while the warm food product is above a threshold temperature; calculating, by a computer system, a threshold delivery radius from the production source, the calculating based on a corresponding type of the warm food product and a corresponding type of the heat-insulated container; scheduling a delivery of the warm food product in the heat-insulated container within the threshold delivery radius from the production source, wherein the delivery is scheduled to arrive at the delivery location from the production source within the threshold delivery time prior to the at least one peak period; and generating, by the computer system, customized location-specific instructions associated with displaying the warm food product in a heat-insulated display case, based at least in part on the identified delivery location.
